Re: Kurt Froman
That was an excellent interview. What strikes me about BETM is the fact that everyone involved with it has so much passion for not only their particular job, but for the story itself. BETM seems to really stand out in this way.
Thanks for posting this. It makes me appreciate this production that much more. I've never anticipated a show so much before.

Re: Kurt Froman
Kurt has posted this video (3 weeks ago) of him and Michael Dameski rehearsing "Dream Ballet" during the 2nd Tour.
I enjoyed it immensely to watch this - and to watch them perform the part with the wire without the wire was somehow amusing
