Cleveland

The audiences in Cleveland have been pretty fantastic!  I'm in the first scene in the show and since there are a some laughs in the scene, when I come offstage Maureen asks me, "How are they?" Well, Cleveland has consistently been a great audience.  Always laughing and always a big, fat standing ovation at bows.
Backstage stuff: when I come offstage from that first scene, I see Maureen, who is waiting to go on, and she asks how the audience is, I tell her, and then I say to her, "Share your gifts" as I walk off to my dressing room.  This little exchange is one of those backstage traditions that makes our night complete.
Last night, during the scene where Amy comes back from Europe, the March home had no couch.  There was a tech problem so the sofa was unable to run onstage and they all had to do the scene standing.  Susan told me that she was worried that Stephen would do something to make her laugh so she tried to look at him as little as possible.  He's done it to me so she made the right choice.
We thought we had lost our camera.  We were frantically looking for 3 days and finally I found the house manager here who put me in touch with the head of security.  We left it in the house during sound check and someone had turned it in.  A big shoutout to Tom, head of security, and whoever turned our camera in: Thanks!

That certainly sounds entertaining!!!! Thank you so much for updating. Congratulate your wife on her composure! :-)
Just so you know, after reading the Easter Bonnet blog update, I researched the BC/EFA. There is so much good stuff going down that I never knew about! I requested a catalog (which arrived a week ago) and I am having a blast looking through it. It's so clever! Thank you for showing me this awesome organization.
I'm off to my choral concert. Among the group songs, I'm singing "My New Philosophy" from You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, as a duet! :-) Just thought I'd share! (In the last concert, I sang "Astonishing!")
