I would like to see it - is it only on this week? I have a friend's show I
have to see and Sat I'm doing front of house at Curtain Theater Mill
Valley - it's free. Play is called "King Stag" and it's Commedia - look
online - www.curtaintheatre.org.

I'd love to hang out!

Vicki,

I'm so sorry not to get back to you. What a crazy week! So I'm going tonight at 8:15. I wish I had your number! I'm buying tickets now. But you're probably at the theater right now getting ready to open. King Stag looks delightful!

If you decide to go there are 2 more 1/2 price tix available with Goldstar. There's a show tomorrow, too.

I'm going to pop over there and see if I can get a rush ticket so hope to
find you.

It struck me tonight that it was sort of the South Park generation's level of trashy language that Chaucer's generation's Wife of Bath used...

[Victoria F. Siegel]

Well, you could say that. I think it's intended for a young audience
contemporary with the characters and plays to the dream young people who
want to make it and can use tech and social media have..the millennials. I
think much of it is clever in a self referential way. It resembles Avenue Q
a little but Avenue Q has much broader appeal. The language didn't bother
me at all. I really liked some of the songs such as Die Vampire Die - which
is a little more universal - I couldn't hear the lyrics though when the
singer turned her head away from the side I was sitting on. The fact that
it's a musical about people writing a musical was interesting on one level
and kind of bland on another. Not enough dramatic conflict to draw me in.
But I think writing about artists doing art is hard to make interesting
generally. There really wasn't an arc with this show till the very end.
So I'd say - it's going to be a show that's 9 people's favorite thing not
100 people's 9th favorite thing. Good song, that one. They have pegged it
right - it is marshmallow rice crispies and is probably finding its audience
but won't have great general appeal.

Still, we should be so lucky.
