Today is the first day the stage was mine. Everyone told me this is the perfect theater for my show, and until now I was just repeating that mantra. However, the moment I stepped on stage to actually run the show, I realized immediately how wonderful the Helen Hayes Theatre is. If there ever was a jewel box theater this is it. It was built in 1912 at a time when actors had to be seen and heard without the use of modern day technology. Add to this architecture the technical advances in stagecraft and it becomes something special. (Don’t tell the general manager, but the balcony seats are even better than the first few rows of the orchestra). The sound, the lights, the set, they all come together to make theatre magic. I hope it is a huge hit, but no matter what, if you don’t see this show here in New York at the Helen Hayes, you will miss a truly magical moment in Broadway history.

Yeah I know you say, “Well it’s your show naturally you would think that.” The truth is, it isn’t just my show anymore. This is the synergy of so many artists I really can be objective. I am just fortunate to suddenly find myself in the company of such wonderfully talented people. How can a ventriloquist be so lucky?
As you were,
