| What a wonderful report, Sergius. I planned a few days in London in August around seeing CRAZY FOR YOU, a show I've enjoyed many times over the years, including the original Broadway and London productions. Charlie Stemp is everything you say, a genuine star, who is an incredible singer, dancer and actor, totally ideal for this role. Fans of stopping by stage doors afterwards will find him a delight. He talked at length with small groups and gladly posed for photos, and by posed I mean he said, "Lets go over here, where the lighting is much better." If the show transfers to New York, he must come over with it. Susan Stroman's direction is, as it was in 1993, flawless. We lucked out getting third row center stalls for 45 pounds, part of a "Senior Summer Sale" promotion. | |

| Glad you enjoyed it, dbg. I'm pretty sure Stroman only did the choreography for the original production. Mike Ockrent, her husband who subsequently died, was the director. I have heard that a transfer of this production might be possible. I think NY would love Stemp. I first saw him in DICK WHITTINGTON, a 2017 panto at the London Palladium. He was a standout then as well. | |

| Stemp was a terrific replacement Barnaby in the most recent HELLO, DOLLY! revival, and I was so curious about why he was doing it, as he was already becoming something of a name in London, and how the production justified hiring a non-American for this role. | |
