Officially?
The first rule of show biz: when the Daily Variety  says you're doing something... you have to do it.

'Two and Only' to be filmPosted: 6/4/2012 Author: Gordon CoxBroadway alum "Jay Johnson: The Two and Only" will be remounted in September for a filmed version of the solo ventriloquist act. Created by Jay Johnson, best known for his role on "Soap," the stage production "Two and Only" is a ventriloquism showcase that includes appearances by a number of Johnson's puppet characters.

It was more fun in the old days of Hollywood when Daily Variety was the local press. They used to phrase headlines like,  Braveheart Boffo at BoxOffice. Or Fred Silverman ankles ABC. They could have said, Vent wings East for Video Version of TAO.
At any rate it is official and we committed.
This is a real theatrical circus. Not only are we filming Jay Johnson: The Two and Only, but also remounting the large set version of the show on the other side of the country as well.  As I think about it, it seems like too much to attempt.  However, any second guessing is over now that it has been published in Daily Variety. If it is published in Daily Variety it has to be done.  So... Like the promo FaceBook page to get all the details. If you are anywhere near Wilmington in September Thalian Hall, buy a ticket to a once in a career show in a beautiful Historic Theatre.
I'll remind you again....
As you were,
Jay
