THIRD COAST DIGEST
"It is safe to say that anyone who can still get tickets to the short run of Spring Awakening at the Marcus Center should jump at the opportunity. This musical is vibrant, showy, rebellious and perhaps unlike anything the regular theatergoer has seen before".

We also got some terrific advance press from these Milwaukee bloggers. Thanks guys!

NEW TOTALLYTRUCKED! VIDEO: Krystina and Chase in Dallas
Chase and Krystina flew from Toronto to the land of BBQ and steerhorns, Dallas, Texas, to announce the Dallas Center for the Performing Art's 2010 season. These two live it up at ultra lux hotel Palomar but soon get to work as they sing "Don't Do Saddness/Blue Wind." This is probably the first time anyone has seen this combination. It's a Swing Awakening! Check out the SA cake in the end - yumm!
