JEKYLL & HYDE has only ten shows remaining! I am so grateful for the incredible team of artists I get to collaborate with, onstage and backstage. And what a special opportunity it has been for me to conduct this orchestra of talented and passionate musicians whose musicianship, spirit, and excellence continually thrill night after night. Every performance is a gift I cherish and I'm so lucky to share it! @kokandyprods #jekyllandhyde #conductor #musicaltheatre

Quick trip to NYC this weekend to see these incredible Tony-nominated shows! Plus Maria Schneider at Birdland, an immersive-audio walk thru Central Park (thanks @dvbarham !), and requisite bagel, pizza, and cherry cheesecake 😋
Finished a messenger bag! Crisscross cable knit (yay!) texture for the bag, and comfy wide seed-stitch strap. And the multicolored yarn became playful speckled stripes! #knitting
"How Could I Ever Know" from The Secret Garden, one of my favorite musical theatre scores! Making an accompaniment track for a singer, thought I'd share #musicaltheater #auditioncut #pianotrack #accompaniment #collaborativepianist
Achievement unlocked: cable knit!
I didn't own the necessary double pointed needle - but I did have a chopstick and a pencil sharpener..! One swatch down.. what's next? (After I pick up an actual cable needle, that is) #knitting
Wow such a fantastic birthday! Loved celebrating with so many friends - and with pizza, burgers, arcade games, and birthday cake, I felt like a kid again! Thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes and everyone who made it out to party! 🎉🥳
