Tuesday night, at the premiere of Theater of the Stars’ final season show, I was delighted to see Chris Manos giving the curtain speech after a long hiatus. Wearing what he claimed was a 35-year-old “lucky suit” and giving an update on the Detroit-Minnesota baseball game, he looked spry, fit and full of good cheer. I think people were applauding his recovery from surgery as much as they were his news of how generous audience members had chipped in a little extra to support TOTS through this rough year.
In line during intermission, I heard some subscribers talking about how sad they were that the 57th season was over. The good news is that if they subscribe now for TOTS’ 58th season, they’ll be eligible to win a trip to Chicago this spring to see the premiere of a couple of musicals Manos has invested in, including The Adaams Family, which is from the creative teams that produced Jersey Boys and The Wild Party.
