Summer Stock Memories from 1968 to 1976

Two things:
I so very much share your enthusiasm for this long gone but inordinately high quality summer stock venue.
I also appreciate your painstakingly constant research and regular updates.
Anyone who missed attending a show there over the years, sadly missed out.
And, of course, I have my personal favorites.
Carlsberg forever!

I can see him starring in Dear Evan Hansen, as Barnaby in Hello, Dolly!, and as the wannabe boyfriend in Next To Normal.
I'll try to come up with some others.
I think that he's extremely talented.

I had never seen him perform onstage until this.
He did a 90 minute show in which he included a song from the recent Gatsby musical.
He also performed a number from Little Shop; for which a volunteer was chosen from the audience to act as Audrey. Somewhere during he jokingly mentioned that in time, he'd be playing Mr. Mushnik.
Another highlight was a roughly 10 minute capsule version of Newsies; in which he acted and sang all the roles!

Any word on an afterlife for LIFE AFTER?

After seeing it at the Goodman Theater Chicago in June, I got it into my head that it was next Broadway bound, but that was just me thinking.
It has apparently fallen off the radar though, and I am curious to know if anyone has any update...

They have a hit here, whether it’s a critical success is another story. Wicked was also notably panned out of town, so who knows if they do any changes to this at all."

Probably the fact it got government money and, since it’s closing on the 24th, has no incentive to shut down at this point"
What government money?

DennisSSebasiStephen said: "My notes: - Paradise Square is finally getting up there! 70% capacity means it's beating Beetlejuice and Phantom of the Opera. Unfortunately, it's still only grossing $235k/week and needs ~$550k/week to break even, so they're still losing money. I guess that's why they're raising more money.
- Music Man oversold!
- What's Beetlejuice's strategy here? It's the second week they&#

Thanks so much for posting this. It remains one of my favorite shows, and I really enjoyed the cast and creative discussing its genesis. Emily and Alice both were quite amazing.

Chilina Kennedy from Paradise Square should have won the Tony for best supporting actress in a musical. Not Patti.

And the punctuation following the word "musical" in your mammoth heading should have been a semicolon, not a period.

Could it be the Steppenwolf Chicago production of KING JAMES?
