For me, certainly, my God, yes, but also for Kerry O&#8217;Malley (who was heartbreaking, sometimes-scary, hysterical and tragic in her role), and Aaron Mathias (who was hilarious, and sexy, and tender and unpredictable in his role), for Greg Santos, our stage manager who also read stage directions and just <i>stepped up<\/i>, for our amazing director, Jack Cummings III, for all of the people who helped bring this to fruition.  It was overwhelming to look at that house full of people and hear the waves of laughter, the sudden bursts of laughter from one person over here, one person over there, and then of course there is nothing like the sound of an entire audience falling dead quiet <i>as one<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Couldn&#8217;t have gone better.  <\/p>\n<p>I feel very blessed, very grateful, I haven&#8217;t slept a wink, and I&#8217;m still floating in outer space.
