As a matter of fact, when I was touring with the Me Nobody Knows, one of the performances was done at the Civic Stage of the Chicago Opera House.
And Katharine Hepburn was there doing Coco.
And she allowed us to meet her at one point because we had been asking our stage manager, why is it so cold in the theater?
We shared space.
And he thought, oh, well, this is the time for you to meet Katharine Hepburn.
And two things we learned.
Don't perform in a temperature higher than 45 degrees.
And even if you don't have to go, go.
Go.
So during intermission, go to the bathroom, whether you have the urge or not.
Well, it didn't take the announcement of its closing to savor every minute.
That happens eight times a week because the people who are coming to see you
Cats, the Jellicle Ball, are coming to celebrate not their own liberation, because we've arrived there some time ago, but that finally there's this intersection of history and evolution that allows it to be above ground.
It's the highlight of my day.
I'm going to share it with everyone at the theater.
They love for me to bring these kinds of rare opportunities into their lives.
It was my pleasure.
Thank you.
