Love, Life and The Continental Congress

What a run we had out there at Paper Mill.  Great cast, great times, great book...great googlie mooglie.

I truly enjoy 1776.  As I said before, I think it's one of the best written books of a musical that I've done. It's more of a play with music in my mind.  It's an ensemble show which really allows interaction and freedom to learn from each other on an ongoing basis.

The good news is that I actually have a coupe of days off before I have to start work again. I've been crazy with work and the awards stuff.  And what fun was that?!  Hanging out with great actors...great people. 

I got to spend some time with Jeremy Irons, we hadn't really seen each other since The Bowl...other than passing each other on the street and waving.  It was good to see him.  

So..beautiful days to spend with the dogs.  Prepping some marketing materials for some upcoming gigs and getting ready for the next project.
