[...] Check it out: "A legendary love. A transcendent artist. Shakespeare's classic verse meets the driving, passionate rock of iconic singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley in the world premiere of The Last Goodbye … an ensemble of fourteen singer/actors bring to life the lyrical beauty of two great poets set in a world of youthful angst, grandeur, and grit. Fall for Romeo and Juliet all over again in this incendiary new musical." [...]

What a brilliant and edgy idea.Sometimes I can hear a song or an album as a musical because of the animation of the performance and it projection.Buckley’s intensity and integrity would make a perfect match for Romeo and Juliet’s star crossed tragedy. The combination of yearning,desire and potential brimful of the”Nightingale’ ache of both.

Sounds intriguing.

Heather,

Thanks for getting this news out into the musical universe. When I first heard that this show was happening in Williamstown I contacted you immediately as a big fan of Jeff’s music and a passionite interviewer. I”m glad this all worked out. Any loyal readers of Heather’s blog who think they might want to see the show please get your tickets soon as it’s already sold out a few nights of the run. If you’ve got questions about Williamstown or the performance I’d be happy to answer them as well. Details are are http://www.wtfestival.org/

I just wanted to add one thing onto the quote Kris gave . . .

“the actors are young and sexy and rockstars, and it just makes sense.”

Last night I went to a cabaret style show that featured three of the cast members of “The Last Goodbye”. Not that I wasn’t excited about the show before hand but good god, if those one-off performances are an indication of what we’re in for with “The Last Goodbye” then this is something you really don’t want to miss.
