Here's the story of how this show came to be. Sandy City Arts was going to do 3 nights of "West Side Story" in concert this weekend starring George Dyer as Tony and yours truly as Riff, but it turned out that although I'm sure Sandy Arts had done all their homework, crossed the t's and dotted the i's apparently there was some miscommunication and the stage rights to a concert version of "West Side Story" actually are not available. So with about 1000 tickets sold already, Sandy came up with the idea of doing a George and friends concert and kept me on as one of the friends and also brought in the phenom Jenny Jordan Frogley.
There will be a live band, George will chew up the stage as will Jenny. I'm gonna do my best to do the same singing "She Was There" from The Scarlet Pimpernel, "Lily's Eyes" from The Secret Garden with George. Jenny, George and I will combine for a trio rendition of "The Impossible Dream" and launch into some fun with "Standing on the Corner" from Most Happy Fella. There will be some other surprises as well. If you come, you will be entertained. Now everybody start praying for good weather Friday night (outdoor venue and all).
