I also think that good choice of music helps, which in this case, it helped that he used Bach.jolenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11674264153754358602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-33845026842268507362008-02-04T08:23:00.000-08:002008-02-04T08:23:00.000-08:00Dear jolene: No, I wasn't kidding about dinner, as...Dear jolene: No, I wasn't kidding about dinner, as I was hungry.

The dancers themselves were almost enough to pull Tomasson's piece out of the gutter. Almost. I hope you were kidding when you said you went home for dinner, the dancers were amazing (I saw the same cast as opening night.) Filling Station was hilarious - can you imagine that the initial ending was a sad ending?? It would have been odd if that had been the case, and so incongruent with the pace of the rest of the piece.jolenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11674264153754358602noreply@blogger.com
