Purchased tix for the Thursday performance. Unfortunately, other dates coincide with the BigXII women's basketball tourny in Dalllas Mar 8-11.

No, I can't film the performance. I think the university will probably film one night's performance, but it takes them forever to become available. We're still waiting on the previous 3 opera videos to be ready...

Darn. I'd really like to see him in a production like this. Maybe I can work something out.

Tickets are only like $17, dude. Totally worth a trip! I just eavesdropped on part of tonight's dress rehearsal and it's going to be a really good show.

If you guys get the chance, you should go. I thoroughly enjoyed tonight’s production. Operaman seemed to truly relish his role as the fat knight and that connected to the audience. I couldn’t help but to laugh out loud at several parts, particularly when Falstaff was lying flat on his back, drinking warm wine while singing about that rascally world. How many of us haven't done that? And, those arias about the glorious big belly may be a little too close to home for me, but it is art, still poignant after more than a century and I love it. Dang it, we really should have had a tailgate for this one. PG, please tell Operaman bravo for me!

Oh man. That was awesome! Will was fantastic and the last scene in the Forest...my hat is off to the folks who put that together.

Almost a full House tonight. Standing Ovation which was well deserved. The theater is amazing as well. Thanks to PG for posting about these performances they will be something the Wife and I will boast about as she is a terrific Gal and married to a very talented fella. Great night!

Bravo, Operaman!!! Congrats on the glowing reviews.

I used to go to the University productions all the time as an undergrad, and I was always amazed at the level of talent, some truly memorable performers/performances. It's a total perk of living in a college town, maybe when we're all old and decrepit we can live close enough to catch shows again. There's really nothing like live theater, love, love, love it. Congrats again!!!!
