Tonight was day 2 of "Jury Boys," the Chicago Bar Show's, 5-night run. The bad news is that this year I do not get to play guitar onstage. But the good news is, mirabile dictu (are Jews allowed to use Latin?), I HAVE A MAJOR SOLO! Yup, I get to strut my stuff, belting out a big Broadway blues number as a rapacious investment banker. More than that I cannot reveal lest I blow the plot. It is an incredibly fun scene to do--I get to mug shamelessly as well! I am in awe of my immensely talented castmates--besides the gifted veterans, we have some new people with incredible voices. Needless to say, our director Mary and musical director Corey are first-rate, bringing out our best to give you one heck of an evening (and who says you have to limit yourself to ONE evening?) And joining us, among others, are Barack and Michelle Obama, T. Boone Pickens, John Mc Cain, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, George and Laura Bush, Joe Lieberman and of course "Radioactive" Rod "Third Rail" Blagojevich.......or ultra-reasonable facsimiles thereof. The Merle Reskin is a wonderful theater with state of the art production facilities and terrific sightlines and acoustics anywhere in the house. You're gonna have a great time. And so far, my voice AND knees are holding up!
