I’m really running out of stuff to say now… 🙂 Oh, I know! I forgot to comment on it for the Dec. 8 show (see Seventh Experience), but we had a new Enjolras! Matthew Shepherd took over from Kurt Kovalenko, and I, for one, enjoyed his performance a lot more. Kurt wasn’t bad…he just didn’t have the power and presence that I want from Enjolras. Matthew was better. His first few lines were almost Anthony-esque. But not quite. 🙂
This was my last time seeing Tim and Regan at the stage door, so there were hugs all around. They are both such wonderful people, and I’ll miss them a lot!
