Yesterday Eddie and I had a great cultural day. I will say more about an amazing show at the Guggenheim later.
But first, Sister Dance. It was an off-Broadway show that our friend Chuck Saculla was in. These are the two Sisters referenced. It was a good show. It was written kind of poorly, but it was acted very well.
Chuck comes in at the end of the first act and is key in changing the tone and pace (for the better) in the second act. Here is a excerpt of the Broadway World review.
Chuck Saculla is appealingly rowdy as the aforementioned Duncan, who is essentially a bad-ass drunken cowboy version of El Gallo from The Fantasticks. It's easy to see why Fleur is attracted to his roguish charm (and some fanservice shirtless scenes from Saculla are a welcome diversion from the plot), though the character is so transparently self-serving, it's hard to credit Alice's attraction.
See? All the acting was really great, but the reviewer was not fond of the play story itself.
Any how, here is a shot of Chuck from the 2007 Broadway Bares charity event (and 2008 Calendar party). He usually isn't Gold. We met Chuck in LA a while back. He is a friend of Mickey's.
