Good luck. Break a toe.

Saw it tonight for the fifth time and it was fantastic. Sierra and Sherie are both so brilliant. I hope the critics are kind.

Or a tentacle.

A show like this wont be sunk by the reviews (as in it probably wont affect ticket sales, etc.) but it will be interesting to see what they have to say nontheless.

Virtual Opening Night on Playbill Radio tonight, who's there?

PLEASE! Do not post anything negative or dramatic! DidYouReallyHearMe has LOST the ability to ignore such posts and he will comment! Please, help him.

I'm glad Foster finally took the time to share his/her opinion of Mermaid. It wasn't quite clear from any of the other posts. I can't imagine occupying my time writing about shows I didn't like over and over again, but to each his own.

Break a leg to the cast and crew of Mermaid.

I actually didn't think too poorly of MERMAID.

I was referring to the critics' expected responses.

Break a leg cast! I saw it in Denver and really enjoyed it; hopefully will get to see the changes when I'm in the city in March!

Cheers,

Oh, and I just want to say... I think the Flounder costume is kind of cute. I like it.

This was not a BOATING ACCIDENT!!!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
