Curtain comes down . . .
07/11/2009
Closing night is tonight - and although no actual curtain comes down - well, unless we count the glitter one (everyone needs a glitter curtain in their lives) - and I am once again profoundly moved by everyone’s contribution. In particular, this production was singular in the way the cast functioned backstage. It took incredible teamwork, patience, and good humor behind the scenes the create the foundation for the show onstage. In the end, it brought an intensity and depth to what was happening under the lights. Life often takes a village - and we had a quite a wonderful community. Overall - TFM stands alone in what it accomplishes with the audience - sold out houses by the way. Every night it was such a thrill to see the audience transform into a cheering section for the men of Monty. They were pulling for their success - wanting it for them - and maybe for themselves as well. The idea of stepping beyond, doing what doesn’t seem possible, to face our fears - it is all as scary as it is seductive. Kudos again to everyone.
