F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.S!
1 That song, Let the Good Times Roll is being performed on Jay Leno, right now, by the “new”
Cars, as I write!
2 FANTASTICS, man!
3 Rock ‘N’ Roll.
3 Everywhere you look these days, the signs are everywhere.
4 Alumni from ’05 are writing and rooting for all of y’all.
5 I’d like to throw out a shout to Daniel Huynh, who said hi to me last night, and shared his thoughts about all of it.
6 Daniel couldn’t even be in it last year, but as always, his thoughts and spirit can get everyone pumped about anything, so thanks for reminding me, and now a LOT of people just how fun and wild this time of the year can be!
7 I’ve been really busy with the musical, and we’ve been really enjoying it and having a ball, but no matter where I turn, I see the practices, the posters, the freezing nights outside dancing, and the chill on everyone’s faces.
8 And amazingly, I remember only the good!
9 I’m also WAY glad that I’m NOT stressing it, or looking into everyone’s eyes holding fast to ideas, tears, laughter, and staying until all hours.
10 Yeah, I don’t miss any of that, not in the least.
11 Not much!
12 The show remains a blast! We have been working on Money, Money from the immortal Cabaret. We have this amazing version of it, and I’m trying like heck to turn it into a sort of karaoke by removing voices.
13 Tough trick. If anyone out there knows how to do that, please let me know. I’ve talked with audiophiles everywhere, and a lot of them just shake their heads wondering how the same way I do.
14 But the cast just nailed the song. So tight! It’s probably our favorite song at this point.
15 So let’s just rock through this day today.
16 It’s Wednesday; it’s a musical, it’s FANTASTICS, it’s March madness!!!!
17 Let the good times roll!
18 Can’t wait to see ya, ’05ers!!! I miss you guys!
19 And everyone else, time for all of us to rock!
20 Peace.
