The Rain in Spain
Regarding my scarcity: As E pointed out, the spring is often hectic for teachers. And as he implied, I have been increasingly spending what disposable time and money I have at the theater. Denver has, by many accounts, one of the top five theater scenes in the country. In the last two months, I’ve seen 16 different plays, three of them twice. I’ve got 12 more scheduled for the next five weeks. I frequently take students with me, most of whom had never previously been exposed to theater on this scale. Next month, I am taking two students to Colorado Springs to see the touring production of RENT.
As good as the local productions are, the real magic was found in the smash British revival of My Fair Lady. uber-producer Cameron Mackintosh (Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon) personally produced the revival, and the West End cast is fantastic. The tour has moved to the West Coast, and I heartily recommend that Andre see it in LA (it’s there through April 27) or in Orange County in June.

Scoff all you want. But the musical was primo. Truly, one of the great contributions to the Western canon.
