The second preview performance of Satchmo at the Waldorf went over just as well as the first one. We had an older, quieter audience on Thursday, but they were no less attentive to the show–I didn’t see or hear a single yawn anywhere in the house–and I’m pleased to report that we got our second standing ovation in a row.
The official press opening is tonight. We’re very, very hopeful. No matter what happens, though, I plan to sleep in tomorrow. It isn’t quite right to say that I’m burned out, but I am feeling a bit crispy around the edges!
As always, watch this space for details.
