The Ice Storm!

No, not the movie, the weather! We had a good old-fashioned opening night bout of bad weather. However, that only kept a couple of people away from the sunny skies of Venus Airlines last night as Plane Crazy had it's second official opening (first in New York).

The cast was in fine form, as was the tech crew, and luckily we didn't experience any power outages! All the dress rehearsals have been in front of student audiences and last night was almost completely adults. So of course they laughed at different things and responded to different numbers etc., but the cast was fast on their feet adapting and changing with the times!

The show has come a long way since NYMF -- new material, new songs, and it's better paced, funnier, and really knows who it is (hey, but don't take my opinion...go see it! But see it soon: TICKETS ARE SELLING OUT QUICKLY...)

Out in the lobby, in addition to the cast photos, and the beautiful Plane Crazy poster (courtesy of Michael Karst) Theatre Sheridan had put blow ups of advertising from the sixties! How cool is that!

Thanks to the Plane Crazy cast, crew and creative team, and to everyone at Sheridan (especially Mary-Lu Zahalan, and Greg Peterson) for all their support and hard work. And a special thanks to the director Marc Richard, and the musical director, Chris Mounteer, for helping me take Plane Crazy "to new heights"!
