The opening weekend of the show was as good as I culd have ever hoped t could be. Standing room only Friday and Saturday. A larger than usual crowd for Sunday matinee. Rave reviews from the attendees. A spotless set of performances from the cast & crew (well, the matinee was a bit rough, but it was a matinee, and that's just what happens). Rumor has it (I could not confirm) that Kim Basinger was in the audience on Friday. It's not out of the question, as [she is an Athens-area native](/archive/1999_10_31_archive.html#10460). If she liked the show, I'd be happy to direct her next project.
