It’s not quite the Bay Area, but TheatreWorks in Palo Alto did PASSION in 1996; I wanted to drive north for it, as I hadn’t seen it staged, just the recorded OBC.
But something came up, so I had to wait for the LA premiere—a special one-night only show from Reprise! in 1999, and the first full production at the East West Players in 2003.
Laura in LA, whose kids (13, 12 and 10) came to that show in 1999, and got some funny looks from people who didn’t understand that we started Sondheim early in this family |
