Thought P&P did similar work on P&B to what David Hwang did to FDS, though in fact much less. Curious why DHH's rev isn't mentioned much.
Too bad the great SS shot before he saw P&B by P&P. As as P of C I felt they shaved off the shufflin' stereotypes & gave us real people!
Just saw Porgy and Bess and it's an amazing/moving show (even w/u/s for Audra McDonald and others) Kudos to Paulus & Parks! mtc
Workshopping a new musical with Kurt Miyashiro!
Just saw Yoshikazu Fujimoto play odaiko drum solo again (at Mu Daiko Perf) after over thirty years and he's still amazing!
Mu Daiko Performance reviews are in: "what joyous thunder" and "it is, as always, thrilling"
Mu Daiko 15th Anniversary Concert opens tomorrow 2/10/12. Beautiful work by Iris Shiraishi and the gang.
All female Cast reading of Yellow Fever in NYC went great! Lots of good feedback. Thanks to all involved!
