i saw Memphis at North Shore Music Theater when it was being tested for Broadway. Terrific! And Montego Glover was terrific. Hooray!
Great stuff to read here! God, if ONLY I had the resources to come over and experience these productions. And if these are just the ones vying to be the BEST what a cornucopia you must have over there. But one which catches my eye is 'Promises, Promises' very much a product of the 60s, which I never really would have expected to see revived in my lifetime. Shall look out for all the results with avid interest.
