....is different. All I know is that I was among the lucky few to see "Side Show" the first time. It affected me strongly, poignantly....in a way that is difficult to put adequately into words. I have rarely been so moved at the theater as I was by the story, the music, and those indelible performances of Alice Ripley, Emily Skinner, and Norm Lewis. I am glad to see it given another life -- however risky the investment. I hope this production defies the odds. I know it will be an uphill battle. But if just one other person leaves the theater forever changed for the better (as I did after "Side Show"), then it will have succeeded....even if it does not have a long run or fails financially. But I hope it DOES succeed! I think one of the keys will be how the show is marketed....and how clever the producers are in piquing the interests of audiences. Someone ingenious must figure out a way to make the subject matter not so "off-putting." All the best to you, "Side Show" !!
