From my dressing room at the London Palladium...
Well it’s hard to believe that my days in the hills (not to mention
the Judy Garland Room) are coming to an end – but indeed they are.
As I write I have just 2 weeks (16 perfs) left as Captain von Trapp – I’ll
be hanging up the lederhosen on August 23rd – but what a great
year it’s been.
We had a very special visitor in a couple of weeks back – who knew
that Rocky Balboa was a Sound of Music fan – but clearly he is!
