Power Players and Premieres

My latest guilty pleasure is this list of Broadway's 50 Most Powerful People that Broadway Spotted put together. It's like high school all over again, except I actually find it, like, fun. I think it's unfair, though, that they declared the #1 spot a tie (Philip J. Smith and Robert E. Wankel). I suggest a fight to the death.

I was happy see Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the producers of Smash, get "honorable mention." Incidentally, James Herbert recently compared the path my very own Room With a View took to the stage with Smash. I think one difference is our creative team isn't sleeping with the entire cast.

I don't know if we'll have a smash in San Diego, but with actors actually skinny-dipping in real water onstage, we'll certainly make a splash.
