I am fully aware that I have been completely remiss in my blog postings. Life’s little surprises (visiting relatives, memorial services, two cars in and out of the shop) have eaten up my blogging time, but I have missed it and I am now back on track….

I’ve just returned from an overnight trip to Sarasota to see Jill Santoriello’s pre-Broadway musical, A Tale of Two Cities at the Asolo Theatre. I will publish a giant post as soon as I can about the show (which was fantastic) and my warm welcome by the producers, Ms. Santoriello, and several of the cast members. Suffice it to say for now, it was among my top theatrical experiences. Much thanks to Ron Sharpe, Barbra Russell and James Barbour for the VIP treatment!

In the meantime, may this video preview tide you over. It doesn’t do justice to the show musically (the current cast has not been recorded), but you’ll get an idea of how visually stunning the show is.

    Glad you’re back. Your voice has been missed!

    So glad to hear you enjoyed it! I’ve been on pins and needles since last night waiting to hear your review, but I suppose I can wait a little while longer. I’m also happy to hear you found everyone so welcoming. They really are a great group!

    So glad you enjoyed the show and I cannot wait to read your full review! Mostly everyone I met from the cast was very nice and welcoming. They were so excited to see “young” people in the audience and wanted to hear our feedback. A lot of the cast assumed that I knew someone in the show (which I do) because I didn’t fit in with the demographics of those who have been attending.

    I wish I could have seen the show more than once while I was in Florida. If I could go back in time I would definitely plan a few extra days to not only see the show more than once but see the sights of Sarasota and it’s surrounding areas once again.

    Welcome back!
    I just watched the video. It looks great, very Les Miz-like, so of course I love it! I’m eagerly anticipating your review.

    Wow, the video preview really took me right back to the show. If only it featured James Barbour’s amazing voice… I will be first in line to purchase the Broadway recording.
