Gratitude. That's what I'm feeling this year more than anything. SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE became an opportunity to bring to life the beauty, the drive, the heartbreak, the hope, and the joy of creation, and share it with so many audiences that are moved to tears every night.
Such a gift to collaborate with @dvbarham, @evelyn.k.r, @alannachav, @mreich819, @kendylmakenzi, @kevin.webb826, @missyveezee, and the entire brilliant ensemble cast, orchestra, and production team. Thank you all for the overwhelming beauty you create every performance! @kokandyprods taken in Chopin Theatre by @nick.sula

Tonight is the official opening of OCTET at the Goodman Theatre!
This piece is incredibly complex and uniquely challenging - and I feel so lucky to have worked with this unbelievable cast of true artists on bringing it to life. Rehearsals with this team were an absolute joy - feeling that shared sense of accomplishment, achieving just the right dynamic nuance, finding a delicious ensemble blend but maintaining individual voices, sustaining a tasty chord for the perfect amount of time to release the tension and send chills down all our spines... the dopamine hits are real.
Opening this at the Goodman after our record breaking run at the Raven, it's a thrill to know that now so many more people will get to enjoy the artistry and energy that is alive on this stage.
I am thankful for this driven and talented cast, our inspired creative team, our genius sound team, our intrepid stage management and support staff, and everyone that came together to make this project a spectacular reality.
Congratulations everyone! Don't go back to sleep - I will meet you there... taken in Goodman Theatre by @nick.sula

JEKYLL & HYDE has only ten shows remaining! I am so grateful for the incredible team of artists I get to collaborate with, onstage and backstage. And what a special opportunity it has been for me to conduct this orchestra of talented and passionate musicians whose musicianship, spirit, and excellence continually thrill night after night.
