October 10, 2008

Today I drove over 7 hours to get to the Goodspeed Opera House's Norma Terris Theater in Chester,  Connecticut. I do not recommend Route 95 on a Friday afternoon. However the trip was well worth the time.  The Story of My Life is a beautiful show that I absolutely loved.

In the picture here you will see me standing with Buddy Martin (right) and Richard Maltby (center), who is directing this wonderful show. He won the Tony Award for Best Direction with Ain't Misbehavin' and was nominated for these other shows: Baby (Best Direction of a Musical, Best Original Score), Blood Knot (Best Play), Song and Dance (Best Direction of a Musical, Best Musical, Best Original Score), Miss Saigon (Best Origin
al Score), Nick & Nora (Best Original Score), Big (Best Original Score), Fosse (Best Direction of a Musical).

The Story of My Life features music and lyrics by Neil Bartram and a book by Brian Hill. They are pictured here.  They are extremely talented...and nice.
