For the past few years, we've had this philosophy. We do one rarely-seen musical, one as straight-from-Broadway as we can, and two crowd-pleasers to anchor the ship. We like to start with something to get people talking, and close with something that people will remember through the long nine months we don't produce. |
For the past two years, my brother has been portrayed as a bank robber, mentally disturbed, suicidal or worse, ... I can't believe that (investigators) still have my brother on the hook for this. We know my brother; everybody knows he is not a bank robber. |
