What does it mean by Gothic Musical? I don't know. According to Wikipedia "Goths"  were East Germanic tribes who, in the 3rd and 4th centuries, harried the Roman Empire and later adopted Arianism (an early form of unitarian Christianity). And, unless I'm WAY off on my interpretations, this show happens in London (England, not London Germany) takes place in the late 19th century and while the Bishop of Basingstoke represents "the Church", I'm pretty sure it isn't the Arians, Unitarians, or Christians for that matter (he's a very naughty Bishop.) I suppose "Gothic" could refer to the late 20th century subculture, but bleached faces and schrapnel hanging from artifical holes in the face - and I'm assuming here - will be left for another show.

It may be why they removed this subtitle from later promotional material. Whatever. I like the way it sounds.

I have no idea when they'll start selling tickets, if you can get tickets now (likely) or how quickly they will sell out. I know for a fact they have a disproportionate amount of season ticket holders who, of course, get first pick of refusing the worst seats. So if you are interested (and seriously, thanks for those who have commented and emailed about their excitement. It means a lot) you may want to call and ask them how good friends of Danny Lasko can best get tickets for the show (just don't be surprised if, when you mention my name, they respond with a clear and succinct, "Who?")

One other caveat. Two casts. Every other night. I don't know what nights I'm performing, but will keep you posted as I learn. Probably not until sometime in July.

Now, for those of you whose only relationship with this musical includes the former Michael Knight, you can be confident this show won't be anything like that, mostly because he's not in it. Everyone will act, Jekyll will have a British accent (or no one will) and Darth Vader will make an unexpected appearance.

Well, it WAS unexpected.

Kidding. However, what I have been able to squeak out of the information vault is that we will be using a script that has never been preformed here in the valley (see "Darth Vader".) it combines the best of all versions, which must have been a considerable task seeing as there is about 367 different scripts to go through. So, whatever version you're familiar with and you are NOT a member of the Fullerton Light Opera, then chances are, something will strike a note of surprise within you. Even if it's just the Sith Lord's rendition of "Once Upon a Dream". Simply moving.
