I was intending to publish here, in one convenient location, for fan, completist, and sadist alike, all available links to the June, 2008 NYGASP reviews from our season at City Center. But Typepad has been "improving" things - things for which I pay $90 a year and expect them to work - and I am temporarily - I TRUST - unable to insert links! So that posting may be a few days in the future. The FUTURE! Where you and I will spend the rest of our lives.
Tomorrow (Friday, June 19) NYGASP cast and orchestra catch an 8AM bus for Vienna, Virginia, for two performances at Wolf Trap. Pinafore Friday at 8(PM) and Gondoliers Saturday at 8. We have been known to get audiences upwards of 10,000 at this place, depending on the weather. I've written about Wolf Trap in some detail at least once on this site, so go rummaging through old postings, which you should do sometimes anyway, to learn more about the Wolf Trap performing experience. It's fun (body mics for the principals).
Due to tiredness, an early wakeup tomorrow, and annoyance with this evening's typing experience, I am taking the easy way out and leaving you with another one of Dave Sigafoose's bizarre Photoshop nightmares. This is Michele McConnell as Casilda, Angela Smith as the Duchess, and some jerk hambone who can't hold still as the Duke of Plaza-Toro.
I can insert pictures, but not links. Click to make it BIG, and you might get an extra Duke.
Attending NYGASP performances at Wolf Trap is a family tradition and we thoroughly enjoyed Saturday's performance of "The Gondoliers". We always look forward to your performance and were not disappointed. Kudos to you and the cast.

Thank you, Jeff. Let me tell you, it was a treat for every single person on the stage and in the pit to do Gondoliers at Wolf Trap and audience response sent us all off in a very merry mood.
