I thought Stash posted something, but maybe it wasn't here, because I can't find it. Anyhow, A Chorus Line is running at Bishop Center through Sunday. Great show! Outstanding acting, dancing, singing, orchestra, the whole deal. I hadn't ever seen the show before, so I didn't realize that it is PG, but totally worth it. Many great performances. 7:30 Friday and Saturday, 2:00 on Sunday.

I didn't but should have. Lil Stash is the rehearsal pianist and will be in the pit. We'll be there Saturday.

Amazing show! It exceeded our expectations... and we've come to expect a lot from the Summer Youth Musical.

"In the Ballet": voices and harmonies were spot on... I was holding my breath for the high note and Megyn nailed it. The ballet in the background was a nice touch.

The drag queen soliloquy: if the music hadn't started as he started crying, "It.. was.. the.. first time... he ever... called me... his son!", I think I would have been bawling. Josh played "Paul" perfectly.

"Dance Ten Looks Three", Taylor was great. It's a really good song anyway, but when done well, it's an experience you don't want to miss. This was one of those.

"What I Did for Love", very moving. Kelsey (playing Diana) did a great job... she also sings "Nothing" very well.

I wish they did two weekends. But, today is the last day. A few tickets left. My regrets to those who don't get to see this phenominal show by a great group of Harbor young people.

"Dance Ten Looks Three" didn't get much applause when the show started off broadway. Hamlish sat in the audience during the first week and watched. Then he read the Play Bill.

The song was originally titled "Tits and Ass". He figured out they were giving away the punch line. They changed the name to "Dance Ten Looks Three" and the song became a show stopper.

"Dance Ten Looks Three" was a great number. Very funny, well performed, and honest.

Jordan did a great job. I had seen him act before, but didn't realize what a talented singer and dancer he is. Bravo!

I enjoyed "Nothing". I couldn't stop smiling. Quite talented.

Of course, even though he wasn't featured much, it's always a treat to see Dustyn dance. I swear that kid can float, he just puts his feet down to make the tapping sounds.

I could go on and on, there were so many great performances. I've got to say, though, that we were lucky to be in the "balcony". You had to sit that far back to see the entire performance, as that is where "Zach" was throughout the show.
