Various phone text and other reviews coming in. All very positive, which is a relief. Many say that audience members feel like they are witnessing the beginning of something.
Met with Brett (festival director) and Marianne this morning and we have decided to cut two numbers from the middle of the show tonight. It was running 2 hours and 15 minutes and, well, yes maybe it feels just a tiny bit long to be standing all that time. One of the Imelda/Dana tunes and one of mine will be cut, so that’s fair, and it won’t really hurt the story at all — in fact it might make it tighter. We’ll see. Will also trim some of my spoken intros to songs — which, although informative and amusing, can kill the momentum a bit.
Went to Central Market — the justifiably famous food market in the center of town here. Stocked up on groceries.
