opening The Final Chapter

( Me and my "sister from another mister" Beth Malone)

Once the photogs settled and I got to see the many friends who traveled out just for opening, I really was hit with what an accomplishment the whole business had been. My great friend Roger Bean had created this Hallmark of a show inspired by his amazing mother and his love for the theatre.

I was so happyto be a part of it, so happy for him and thrilled that his nearest and dearest friends were there to witness it all- The friends in NYC,  David Elzers family, The San Diego sisters, Rick and Jeff and his wonderful siblings. One of which I met for the very first time.

As if that wasn't enough.....he got engaged to his long time partner and my very dear friend Perry that very day!! How could we not feel blessed at this time??

I Just don't think it could have been a better opening with more love surrounding it....from those who were present in body to those of you who have been following along with the whole ordeal. How could I ever begin to thank you all???

And this concludes my report on Opening night.....but we've only just made a dent in the entirety of the adventure.

THE BEST THING-I have so many memories to share for the rest of my life

THE WORST THING-How oh how will we ever top this???
