5/11/2023 0 Comments The Tenth Circle by Jodi PicoultAs you know if you read my newsletters regularly, our cast was ravaged by Covid and we lost nearly two weeks of previews. We can pretend, but we're not REALLY post-pandemic, especially in the theater community. However, it has also been the most difficult moment of my career - because of the state of the world, and the state of theater IN that world. We wanted to bring a little joy to a post-pandemic world…and by all accounts we DID. Many took to social media to say this was the best show they’d seen all year, or that it had become their new favorite musical. One woman wrote to say she’d been 23 times - and dozens more came back with friends and family in tow to see the show another time. I have seen my characters in 3D, & I have watched people laugh and cry and come back to the theater over and over because the message spoke to them so clearly. After being delayed by the pandemic for two years and finally getting into an off-Broadway theater again, I got to spend months in the company of talented actors and creatives bringing this story to the stage and it was one of the most joyful moments of my career. The off-Broadway run of Between the Lines is closing on 9/11.īringing this musical to life has been an eight year journey and a labor of love. Today’s note is a bittersweet one - about how it feels to close the chapter of a story that’s brought me so much joy.
