Notes

Wow! What a great show. If this doesn't end up as a Broadway smash, I'll be really surprised. My timing notes are kind of illegible (sometimes that happens when I'm writing in the dark!), but I'll get them deciphered eventually. I probably should have tried using the new Gala Pro closed captioning system … next time!
