"Website Bellevue Sketches contains some samples of music that are NOT written by whoever claims to be the writer of this musical"??? That's strange!!! I also heard that Billy Porter is not a director of this show, but his name is used for a promotion!???

Jill Ginsberg is a friend of mine (she's in the cast and sings "Nice" on the site) and filed me in. The show was written for Billy Porter to direct, but his schedule in LA made it impossible. He is still consultative director on the project, and there are bigger names than his associated with it. Billy was head of the WVS Vocal Performance department and taught the class that this show was built for before David Sabella came aboard. It's all for real and going up in June at the Players Theatre. Jill tells me it's actually really good, so we'll see.

I do not appreciate being quoted without permission. Especially misquoted by someone I don't know. I have NO inside information on the negotiations made or involvement with directors on this project. Please strike these comments from your discussion forum. Thank you.
