Tonight is the closing performance of “Gooey’s Toxic Aquatic Adventure” at the
@bushwickstarr .
There is so much to say, more than can fit in an Instagram caption, but it starts with
@ladanidaniellalla , who brought me into this incredible world with
@sammyzeisel . It was a chance to reconnect with the joy and whimsy of the theater, something I hadn’t realized I had been missing. Dani - you are magic, and it’s been a helluva ride.
To every artist who has been a part of the development of this show:
- from PEM in Salem, where I managed to blow a tire on the freeway on the drive from New York, and quickly discovered the corruption of the Massachusetts highway police
- to our Lincoln Center showing, where I’ll always remember the sweet old man with his Whole Foods bag who watched our entire open rehearsal, front row, with the biggest smile on his face
- to this thrilling, sell-out production at The Bushwick Starr, seeing this show finally realized in all of its fantastical glory - with a special and necessary mention to
@realschneidman , who shepherded this score to fruition with such verve and ease
Thank you all - and let’s take one more trip to da canal
