Missing our UK Friends!

I just wanted to take a moment on my day off to express how much we, as a cast, appreciate all of the support from our UK counterparts!

In just a few short days, Paul Miller, our incomparable director extraordinaire, will be leaving us to head back home to London!

It is bittersweet because this is just the beginning of the run and yet all of the UK has been taken out of the show.

I want to take the time to really say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the following studs who made this show possible.

Richard Sisson: For letting us know when our singing was "7 shades of SHITE." You inspired us all to work harder and really focus to make the musical aspect of this show truly shine.

Jack Murphy: For teaching us to "COST IT." We have been keeping it at a 6 and we couldn't be prouder of the work we are doing. Thanks to you, we are that much more of a team.

Ben Taylor: For taking this show to a whole new level with his PHENOMENAL video work. Not only are his videos professional, fun, and awe-inspiring, but Ben is a true friend to all. We had so much fun hanging out with him outside of rehearsal as well. He is a true AMERICAN GANGSTER. "My Man!"

JB Blanc: For taking a rag-tag group of American boys and transforming them into a group of best friends from a small town in Yorkshire called Sheffield. With his crazy anecdotes and filthy jokes, I know that I have never had so much fun working than with this show. Thank you sir, for kicking our "laughing gear" into shape.

and last, but not least...

PAUL MILLER!!!

I am physically hurting that our true "SIR," is leaving. Mr. Miller inspired all of us to work hard and play hard. He helped us boys to establish a 7+ year friendship in under a month. He is clever, funny, bright, and caring.

We will all miss him dearly.

To all of our friends from the UK:

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR GRATEFUL HEARTS!

love always,
Alex

Alex - caught the play yesterday. Saw you backstage, but didn't want to seem like a stalker. Michael, Corey and I went to dinner with Peter, Ken, and Paul.

You were brilliant. The whole cast was great. I really enjoyed the show. If you haven't read Michael's review yet, check out HotinHollywood.tv

I agree with everything he said.

Take care. You've got a huge career in front of you.
