Thanks for all your well wishes! I truly don't know if the show is completely sold out. I know the previews are. The "limited run" is through June with maybe an option for July. But who can say? We will just have to wait to see how the critics receive it on April 20th.
You know, I think it's very good. It's very hard to have a view of the entire play when you are in it. But I have (finally) come to the realization that the show is major in a whole lot of ways. And I am not just speaking about that it's Threepenny and Brecht and Weill. It's a lot of other things-- the direction, the staging, the orchestra (kind of Threepenny 1929 unplugged). And of course the individual performances. Some of the staging takes Brecht one step further-- into the 21st century. I think the audiences are polarized-- either loving it or hating it. We have even gotten a couple of boo's which in my mind makes it a success. And Brecht would be happy too!
It's funny Rob-- Carlos and I have become buddies. Who would have thought? He is fun to work with. And quite good. He is always willing to try stuff and has a wonderful expressive face. I am always kidding him that both he and I have rubber faces... it's true! And the two of us working with Jim Dale and Ana Gasteyer-- it's like going to the best acting school in the world!
Joey Arias came by the other night with Beat and it was great to hear his distinctive whoop from the audience at the funny parts!
