An excellent evening! I seem to be the only one of us who got to see the 
show, so I'd seen the tech DV described during our peek backstage. It 
was enthralling from out front - the moving set pieces were as well 
choreographed as the dance, and SO MUCH VIDEO via those massive LED/RP 
screen walls!

The show itself kind of escaped me. I never actually saw the movie, and 
I had moments of "wow, I really *am* a geezer" surrounded by women 
*mumblety* years younger than I am who knew the movie by heart and spend 
the evening squeeing in unison at remembered scenes and dialogue. But 
the dancing was terrific, and to be honest, this is one where I didn't 
mind walking out humming the scenery.

Thanks, Dave, for giving us the excuse to get together, swap stories and 
hoist a Pimm's or two.

Anybody else on the list coming through PDX on tour this year? 
Cinderella, Guys & Dolls, I Love Lucy Onstage (whaaaa???), Phantom, 
Wicked? We really do need to convene more often...
