So I went to see Monsieur Chopin at the the Laguna Playhouse over the weekend. On a whim, I tweeted that I was. I did not tweet this to the LP, just mentioned it.
They tweeted me back, hoping I had a good time. Apparently they monitor the Twitterverse for tweets that mention them. That's certainly an interesting marketing method. It was nice, but now I don't know what to do in response. Say thank you? I did audition for the Laguna Playhouse once a long time ago. I doubt they would remember it.
By the way: Monsieur Chopin was wonderful. Hershey Felder is a brilliant pianist and has clearly studied his subject, being able to take questions from the audience while staying in character. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to see Gershwin Alone, one of the three parts of his "Composer Sonata," but I'm definitely going to try and see Beethoven, As I Knew Him when it opens in May.
During the QA period, he had made some disparaging comments about Beethoven (as part of the character), saying that it was banging and noise. We'll have to go back and see if we can get the other side: "Herr Beethoven, it seems Monsieur Chopin has made some comments that might be considered, well, less than favorable regarding your music. What might you say in response?"
