Cast - Columbus

Hello from Columbus!  Had a great opening last night, great audience.  And by that I mean they loved me.
The word for the week is "tight".  This is a beautiful theater that is very "tight".  Matt Marholin told us at sound check that this is as "tight" as its ever going to get.  There is no crossover (those of you who don't know what that is, its the backstage way we get from stage left to stage right) so we hurriedly spent a few minutes reblocking the show so that no one needs a crossover.  A fun game for those who have seen the show several times would be to see where those changes occur.
Katie Fisher's room at this Doubletree we're staying at is off the hook.  Its a two-story deal that she promised me she would have a party in, and I am going to hold her to that.
We lose half the orchestra at the end of this week, they're going home for 3 months as the cities we're going into require the use of local musicians.  This is especially sad as we have a great bunch of people playing every night (and a few cuties as well) who've been a reliable source of fun these past months.  We shall miss them. Eleanor, Claudia, Jeff, Matt, Chris, Kevin, Orlando, see you next quarter.

HI- Saw the show Sun afternoon in Detroit. It was lovely. I had a fine time and cried in all the right places.
Nice to get to see you on stage with your wife as Jo (I hope I read that correctly in the program).
Keep up the great work. I'm giving my Boston nieces tickets to the show for their Christmas presents!

Thanks

I saw the show in Columbus that night (November 30) and was absolutly blown away by the entire show, but especially Kate Fisher as Jo. I met her afterwards and spoke to her for a while about when I played Jo in a production recently, and she was such an incredible sweetheart!
Thanks.

Hello. I am a musical theater keyboard player in Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC and am looking forward to the tour arriving in both cities this year. Might someone share with me the road orchestra's instrumentation and what players are hired locally?

Thank you, Mike DeVito

Wow.

I must say I was amazed by the music of Little Women. I have not been able to see the production yet, but I'm hoping I get the chance.

My friend, another musical fan, introduced me to the CD and I fell in love...not just with the amazing voices but with the sheer beauty and importance of the music and lyrics.

Let's just say, I added this to my "Musicals I Want to Be In" list.

^_^

Congrats on the successes so far and break a leg as you go on!
