RE: Attending the Tale
Hi,
I thought you might be interested in another ?Tale of Two Cities Musical? that is wending its way to Broadway Perhaps via Boston. This one has a distinctively low budget so far but a very singable score and an engaging book. You might want to check out some of the songs. http://www.taleoftwocitiesmusical.com/
