All good things...
Well, we have a closing date. April 11 will be the last show of the regular run of "Who Stole My Dead Husband?" in Portland. The regular cast is committed for the rest of the run, and we're currently selling out two weeks ahead. We've added Friday night shows for the last three weekends.
We've been running since September of 2007. We've seen a lot of birthdays, anniversaries, pregnancies, bachelorette parties, family reunions, office parties, even a few proposals. Next month a couple who came to the show for their first date is getting married in the theatre, heading next door for their reception while the room is reset, then the whole wedding party is coming back for the show!
We will still do some remote shows, the Rose Garden is interested in hosting us. There is talk of franchising - our producer is in talks with a Vegas venue. And Luigi is working on a sequel.
This group is family. You don't do a show like this for this long and still have fun every night if you don't really love the people you're working with. It's going to be a rough close!
At least I have "Evita" to look forward to!
