Warming up before the show. Or shows, I should say.

Pre-Act 1. I’d like to mention that the opening of the show is titled “Weekend in the Country Air”. Which led me to ask, which came first, Something’s Afoot or A Little Night Music?
Ed Dixon, veteran of 15 Broadway shows, who steals our show nightly. Well. Not from everyone. :-)

Liz Pearce, who plays the saucy maid, catching up on a little reading. And what better reading than Ed Dixon’s incredible memoir. It’s so good you would think it was fiction.

Marcy Heisler, Zina Goldrich, and the super handsome actor playing Geoffrey. They are some of the best composers I know. And the sweetest women alive.

The Hunters of Broadway!!! Now all we need is Hunter Foster and Parrish and we would be set.
