Brandeis' student theatre group did the original show in the '86-'87 season, the year after I graduated. (But I was still there, working with the graduate acting program as a young musical director, and I saw the show.) Beth was played by a young freshman actress by the name of...Debra Messing. Yes, that one. :-)
By the way, thank you for the link to that episode of the "Life In The Pit" podcast. A friend of mine had suggested this series to me, and somehow I never remembered to look it up. But "now I know" lol. :-) |
