Mormon Boy is back in Manhattan!
By Steven Fales | August 4, 2010
So I got in last night. Thanks to Ruben for the United Airlines ticket. I arrived at LaGuardia. My luggage arrived at JFK. Sent the night with friends Ken and Paul in Brighton Beach. They have been my biggest supporters and fans here in NYC. Paul was converted Mormon by missionaries where he grew up in Alabama. He was so moved by Confessions of a Mormon Boy at FringeNYC 2004 that he has given me a ride from the airport every time I’ve flown in. It has saved me hundreds and hundreds of dollars in taxi’s. He and Ken have become some of my dearest friends in the world. I could go on and on.
So I’m acclimating here. Some last minute glitches but I’ll solve them with the help of friends. It’s hard to ask for help!
I just ate at the Olive Garden at Times Square. It’s a ritual. All you can eat soup, salad, and bread sticks. I’ve got to keep my weight up. The pounds melt off in this heat.
But what am I thinking about when I’m not re-memorizing lines? I want to see Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch in “A Little Night Music” more than any other show I see. I LOVE them both. The finest musical theatre actresses alive.
