In the Spring of 2004, I played piano in the pit of Reading High School's production of Little Shop of Horrors; it was the second of three shows I accompanied during my tenure there. Fortunately, the Broadway Revival starring Hunter Foster and Kerry Butler was playing in the city, and RHS sponsored a bus for us to go see it, and I did. Fast forward 20 years, and I'm serving as music director for the same show at a dream regional house, starring the one and only Latrice Royale as Audrey II, with none other than Hunter Foster at the helm, directing the show for the first time. Everything about the production was a gift: Dynamite cast, rockin' pit, wonderfully supportive staff, great reviews, and a beautiful locale. I even got to visit with my cousin Danika, some Greylock friends, and spend my birthday in Acadia National Park with Chrissy. 10/10 LET'S DO IT AGAIN.
