Here is a shot of the Marco Polo cast after their run through today. They have adopted the Thomas kids (Ella, Sam and Maddie from left to right). Also in the shot are Claire Williams (row 3 on left), Brandon Thomas (row 3 on far right), and Sheryl Thomas and me on the back row.
Today, the cast of the Orient Line's Marco Polo did a run through of "Hit Me With A Hot Note", their second show to learn since arriving at rehearsal two weeks ago. It was fun to watch them bring performance energy to the rehearsal. Everyone seemed to think the cast had improved dramatically - even since yesterday. NCL's Rob Hertenstein rejoined us after working on ships in Hawaii for the past week. Rob had just taken a red-eye in from Honolulu and came straight to the studio to watch the rehearsal. Now THAT is dedication! Again, the cast did well...they are so far along toward reaching the performance level of the show. The production team gave them a few notes, words of encouragement, and a well-deserved pat on the back. Good job you guys! Here are some pics from today's rehearsals.
(Today's audience consisted of (from L to R) Rob Hertenstein, Claire Williams, Garris Wimmer, Ella Thomas, Maddie Thomas, Brandon Thomas, Sam and Sheryl Thomas)
Last night, my wife and I joined friends Malcolm and Martha Greenwood, and David and Karen Holloway for David's 50th birthday celebration. It was great to be together and spend an evening telling stories and reminiscing. We all agreed that turning 50 was nothing to be worried about. In fact, it was the general consensus that the best was still to come for David (that was easy for me to concur since I just turned 50 last fall). Happy Birthday, Dave!
