You are cordially invited.
As previously mentioned on this blog, the box office for Memphis is opening TOMORROW, Monday! I'm pretty sure this means I will have to stop by and check it out. I hope they have taken the road boxes out of the box office lobby...Of course you can buy tickets online, but there is something snazzy about being able to walk up to Shubert box office, choose your seat with a real life person and not pay any online fees.
To celebrate, the cast of Memphis will be performing in Shubert Alley on WEDNESDAY, August 26th at noon.
We have been planning for this event for about two months now. And by we, I mean mostly Nick and Nina from Type A Marketing. You don't just shut down Shubert Alley for an hour and have that come together in a week. Those two have been in the thick of things planning for this event and I am so excited. As long as the Memphis t-shirts arrive here by Wednesday, we should be all good. Come on Zazzle.com- don't fail me now.
Insider Fun Fact: the kids playing with David Bryan as part of the VH1 Save The Music portion of the Wednesday presentation are reportedly going to be performing "Just My Imagination" and "My Girl." I think the cuteness factor will be off the charts.
Shout Out: I would be remiss if I did not give a Memphis Blog Shout Out to Sarah Nashman and Chris Owyoung who got married yesterday in Peterborough (which is somewhere in Canada).
The backstory: Junkyard Dog Productions shares an office space with New Time Productions. New Time Productions is run by Lauren Doll and Sarah is her Associate. Lauren is also a producer on Memphis so it makes it fun (and convenient) to have a project that the whole office is working on together.
Sarah is a total gem and it was great to be in this beautiful setting yesterday for such an amazing event. They wrote their own vows which had everyone in tears; I was literally stunned by the beauty of their vows and want to have a copy for myself- that's how good they are.
I am thrilled for Chris and Sarah and can't wait for Sarah to get back to the office and give me a consult on the printer issues.
They were also kind enough to let us bring Samson (Show Pup) to the wedding. Driving to Canada and back makes for one tired Pup:
