I just had a report from one of my actors and my stage manager for The Forbidden Phoenix. Yesterday, they did two school matinees, and the kids at one performance were booing and hissing at the curtain call for Empress and Horne, while cheering for everyone else. Hilarious. I loved that the kids were so into the story and characters that they felt like they needed to voice their disapproval of the villains.
From all accounts, the cast is doing well with the remount. I hope the Toronto audiences like the show. I'm sad not to be able to see the Toronto run, but such is life.
