The show itself was wonderful. Every performer, from the part-time pros, like myself, to the full-time performers, like retiring superstar Max Hapner, were excellent. The response of the audience was enthusiastic. Ticket sales were lower than expected, true. Here's a thought for event planners: Make sure your event is not planned for the day after a national holiday when the theatre box office is closed for all of Friday and Saturday until 5 PM of show day! Wish I'd thought of that much earlier! To describe the show as ‘a bust’ in any dimension is unfortunate. The show itself was wonderful.

The club didn't want to spend anything on advertising and it showed in the ticket sales. As one of the performers at the show I thought it went well aside from the lack of attendance, and perhaps that it could have run a little shorter. Hi Brad, Couldn’t agree with you more.
