Everyone said it was great, so that's what I was expecting. And it was. My former stomping grounds really nailed this very difficult Stephen Sondheim musical - from the performances and set to the make-up and costumes, including Sweeney Todd's barber chair. Brilliant. Direction, music...an A!
And a special shout out to Lincoln Ginsberg who was equally as brilliant in the role of Tobias. Look it up. He nailed it. His parents are good theater folk/friends of mine, Megan & Steve, so I was really, really crossing my fingers that Lincoln was as good as everyone said. Very proud of you, Lincoln.

Catherine Blades was in from NYC for a couple events. She performed in the "Bye, Bye Birdie" Revival on Broadway with John Stamos and she just had a part on the television series, "Blue Bloods". I've known Catherine since she was 2 and I've always said she was talented. I think she's got quite the career ahead of her. That's why I cornered her at the party to talk about theater - and MY PLAYS (before she makes it really big).
Left to right: Scott, me, Amy (mother of Catherine, above), someone I just met who was very nice and David. Theater folk going all the way back to 1994 when I first started. Solid. All of them.
Steve G. told me he hardly ever wears his smoking jacket and the after-party he and Megan hosted was one of those occasions. My camera's interior shots suck (I should really check those settings) but Steve and his jacket look good in this blurred image. Need some jewelry or other fine gifts for a special occasion?
