Hope springs eternal!

You never know when the next brilliant show will come down the pike -- by the way, have you seen Brooklyn, yet?

I first saw a community theatre production of 42nd St. when I was about 8. My aunt was in it. I loved it so much she started taking me to touring shows in Detroit. The first professional production I saw was the CRAZY FOR YOU tour with Karen Ziemba. I was blown away at the ripe old age of 13.

Les Miserables in Center in the Square in Kitchener. It started the obsession that I still have to this day. Hence the name "mizzie".
