Where the hell has this guy been??

On Broadway!

And that is why I have been so neglectful of the blog... that and we just got Internet in our office.

Yes, Glory Days on Broadway started previews on the 22nd of April and it has been going really well. We are still a new musical so we are still constantly making changes and working on getting it right.

We officially open on May 6th. Thank you to all of my friends who have already come out to see and support me and the show.

While you are online playing around check out our new fancy Bway website at www.glorydaysbroadway.com.

In other news-

-Jenny had Lasik eye surgery on Saturday and is doing really well. I think she is already loving not having to deal with glasses or contacts!

-Tuesday the 29th I spent my day off with some special visitors. Debbie and Mikey Hankins have been in DC for a few days visiting Spencer and yesterday they came up to NYC (with Spencer and Jenny). The five of us took a trip downtown to visit Ground Zero and then played around in Midtown until about 6pm. Then we all went to a Yankees game. It was a lot of fun. We lost and it was cold but we still had a great time. After we made it back to the hotel the Hankins family went to bed and the Speakers headed to Hoboken to do the same. Today I had rehearsal, as did Jenny and the Hankins Trio is loose on the Big Apple completely unsupervised... I am sure there will be stories.

-On Monday night the Helen Hayes awards were presented. I am pleased to announce that two of my shows faired very well. Two awards for Meet John Doe (Heidi Blickenstaff for leading lady in a musical and Eric Schaeffer for direction of a musical) and three awards for the amazing production of Souvenir (J. Fred Shiffman for leading man in a play, Nancy Robinette for leading lady in a play and Reggie Ray for costume design). Jenny's shows won like thirty awards or something like that but I am very proud of my five awards for my shows!!

Quick Trip

Jenny and I took a quick trip to New York last Monday. I met with the PSM for Glory Days, toured the space and spent some time in the General Manager's office. The show is going to look so good in Circle In The Square I can't even begin to tell you.


That night we saw several of our friends in their show, Cry Baby! Jenny and I ran into Kristan McLaughlin from Goodspeed and we brought her along as well. We had a good time and laughed a lot.

It is now Friday. I have five more performances of 1776 then I move on Monday. This is probably the most stressed I have ever been and that says alot. Those of you who know me know that I do NOT GET STRESSED!!

Chances are the next post will be from New York City!!
