Well tonight was the last performance. I am deeply sad. I have never connected this much with a show, cast or crew before. I am going to miss every single one of these cast members. I think I know how the audience and cast felt the night the Broadway show closed.

WOW!!! Such talent! Who knew we had it in us! This show looks amazing already! We only get three weeks of rehearsal and we sure have come a long way. We open July 21, which closer than you think.

I know that this show is going to be magnificent. This is not however, my first encounter with "Annie". In 2007, we produced "Annie" and I played Bert Healy, so I know the show pretty well. I can't wait until that curtain opens and the overture starts on July 21! It's going to be a blast!
