This goes out to all those John Hall’s UCLA Musical Theater Workshop peeps! I had a fantastic time last night. Fantastic. First, went to Don’t Tell Mama’s to sing backup with Amy Rutberg for Tom Lenk’s “Last Minute Show” and Michael Hicks at the piano. It was a UCLA reunion and a wonderful, silly time to be had. Tom sang […]

REVIEW UPDATE: “The characterizations are lively and fun, and only rarely are there glimpses of the hospital personas beneath the […]
