Alex and Mitchell, two of my best friends, are now doing a circus together. No, literally. A circus.
The envy that I feel is pretty much inappropriate.
Anyway, they just had their opening night … and here is Alex’s recounting of it, which brought me to tears. I LOVE that boy backstage.
Wish I could see it, you guys!!!
UPDATE; The Chicago Tribune gave it a rave.



thanks Sheil..we got a great review in the Chicago tribune…hooray!!! its so much crazy fun!
That wacky Mitchell J. Fain!! My whole soul sang when I read that in the Chicago Tribune!
in addition to david’s comment:
“If that weren’t incongruity enough, there’s also the presence of cabaret diva Alexandra Billings — knocking out the American songbook betwixt the clowns and, to her great credit, sending herself up to the high heavens.” !
hahaha I know! She flies!! The “cabaret diva” flies thru the air!!
Damn, I sure wish I could see this show, and your show too, Sheila!
Hell, I wish I could fly through the air whlle belting out some Rosemary Clooney!
we are having a blast..its seems over-the-top to be having this much fun and getting paid!! David…u would eat this shite up!!! So much silliness and improv and cracking each other up on stage…Alex pretended to pluck a hair out of Julie’s nose last night..while Julie was singing!!! Thats the kind of show it is!
Sounds like so much fun!!!
