It has been a week since I saw the show and it is still in my brain. Just to be in Melanie's presence took me back to my youth. I went to Woodstock to see Joan Baez but fell in love with Melanie. Watching the Blackfriars production had me mostly in tears (maybe my youth caught up with me) and I am grateful to Jack, Melanie, Cat, and Beau Jarred for creating it.
It was a moment in Rochester theatre history that will be remembered for years.
