New Broadway production et al
Hey, everyone…hope you’re doing well…I miss the old mailing list. 🙁
Anyway…my wife and I just went to see the Broadway show on Tuesday. (And now she wants to see it at least ten more times! Hope they bring it to Chicago!)
Just a few comments on it…
– The band was awesome. Especially Bernard Purdie.
– Surprising moment: how they got the crowd on their feet, clapping and stomping along to “Ain’t Got No Grass.” That….was something!
– A lot was cut, but that’s understandable. The show is long as it is, so if they hadn’t made siginificant cuts, we’d probably still be in the theater.
– One thing I DIDN’T like: they did standard bows at the end…just really takes away from the feel, if you ask me.
– Overall…a wonderful performance. I really want to see it again, and if you have the opportunity, please see it; you will be very happy.

Now…just minutes ago I accidentally discovered that DisinHAIRited is out on CD! Here’s the link:

And you’d better believe I placed an order immediately! You can also get it as downloadable MP3s from amazon.com and iTunes.
