So it's Saturday morning and I am getting ready to do 2 shows. After today we have another 2 show day then we are DONE. It's been a ride. We got a letter from our producer the other that really put this tour in perspective.Letter from Michael Brenner:
Dear Friends, On Sunday the first leg of this season's WEST SIDE STORY will end - after having performed 180 great shows to raving audiences and press around the world.
To get to the 16 cities where we have performed in the last 31 weeks, we used 3 different scenic sets simultaneously leapfrogging around the globe via sea, air and over land.
To get permission to perform in the 8 countries we went, we filed over 650 work permits and visa. We booked over 800 flights and countless coaches, cars and trains.
We used nearly 3,500 hotel nights (meaning a single person could live in a hotel for almost 10 years).
The tour travelled over 60,000 km (37,300 miles) which equals more than 1.5 times around the equator - truly justifying bearing the title "World Tour".
Thank you very much for all your passion, hard effort and great team work to make this happen. We are looking forward to the 2nd leg and wishing you all a very Happy New Year!
Yours,
Michael Brenner
I thought this letter was cool. It was a great tour but now I am ready to move on. Monday I will land in NYC....land of opportunities. YES! What will lie ahead!?

This is awesome. I think people, even the members of the company, often forget how difficult it is to produce a tour. This really puts it into perspective and makes you grateful for the ones who are booking the hotels, getting your visa, and shipping your set.
Great....hope things work out well, break a leg. Watch out N.Y. C., here cmes Tony!
Love Ya,
Big Sis
