It was very funny because there was flood of texts and phone calls this morning. The first one was from my old friend Seth Rudetsky. I guess he was there in the room and he congratulated me and then second later my husband called, who was watching the live stream from his office. Its so funny because Its so unlike him to do that, but I guess he was nervous for me! I can't be more thrilled, not just for me, but because so many of my collegues we acknowledged. It is really special . We love this show a lot. We are all so committed and to have it get the embraced by the audiences AND the theatre community is just fantastic. It's just been incredible already.

It was the summer of 1988 when I first heard the melodious JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR score. After church, Mamma and Nanny T would make rounds to the local garage sales and the original cast album was one of their finds. I had a vintage stereo with a record player and this was my solace after church or rehearsal. When Bayou City Theatrics announced this show my excitement ranneth over and I was ready to head to the theatre to see what the creatives had for the American Stage.
