Carolyn and I are just back from opening night of the Reprise! production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying up at the Freud Playhouse at UCLA. This one deserves a long, gushy rave that I don't have time to write tonight. If you're in the area and at all a fan of this musical, you'll really enjoy what they do with it. It's there through May 23 and when I get past the current work crunch, I'll write a long piece about why you should go see it. But don't wait for that. Get tickets as soon as you can.
And just to remind you: This Saturday and next, the 2 PM matinees will be preceded by a one-hour lecture at Noon on the history of the show. Both lectures will be delivered by me and at this Saturday's, I'll be joined on the stage by the wonderful Claudette Sutherland, who was a member of the original Broadway cast of How to Succeed. I'll be interviewing her, prying all sorts of secrets and history out of her memory. The lecture is free and you don't have to stay for the performance…but you should.
Sorry I'm so swamped. I'm going to post a video link, then put up a soup can and get back to work.
