Hi,
This one’s narrowcast to my fellow Bay Areans. Just wanted to share the fun fact that my daughter (aka Shonny Vortex) is making her big-time stage debut this very weekend in Virago Theatre Company’s staging of Candide, with music by Leonard “don’t call me Spock” Bernstein and lyrics by (among others) Dorothy Parker, Lillian Hellman, and Stephen “don’t call me Spock either” Sondheim.
This is an actual grown up performance. The New York Times described Bernstein’s score as “shimmering” and claims that Shonny’s performance is likely to be “the greatest stage appearance of the new century.” I think they’re overhyping it, but who’s gonna argue with the New York Times?
