A couple of more Reviews

Elaine Liner gives a mixed review in The Dallas Observer. The only mention of my performance gets this line, "The men's voices blend nicely on the miles and miles and miles of 'Heart.'"

We also got reviewed in EDGE Dallas, a GLBT publication. It only talks about the performances of the leads, but it's an overall positive.

Damn Yankees Review

We got our first review of Damn Yankees over at pegasusnews.com. I don't get mentioned, but the review is positive overall.

Opening Night for Damn Yankees

Tonight was our first performance of Damn Yankees at Garland Summer Musicals. It went well. Especially for being the first time we have run the show without stopping at least once. We had to re-position in one of the dance numbers at the final Dress Rehearsal, and we had a dancer pass out after a particularly strenuous dance (coupled with the fact that he hadn't eaten much if at all Thursday and he hasn't been getting enough sleep because of rehearsals and his job duties).

I had a couple of people with whom I performed the past two years at GSM tell that they never knew I had such a great voice. I guess in the ensemble, we all blended together.

After all the hard work, it does seem a shame only to do six performances, but that's all GSM ever does.

I hope to see you at the show.

Damn Yankees opens in a week

Garland Summer Musicals production of Damn Yankees opens Friday June 20th. I play the Catcher for the Washington Senators baseball team, Smokey. I am featured in two songs, "Heart" and "The Game," and I also dance in "Shoeless Joe" and "Two Lost Souls." Our wonderful cast includes Joshua Doss as Joe Hardy, Morgana Shaw as Lola, and John Garcia as Applegate. The rest of the cast is tremendous, too.

The show should be a blast, so please come check it out.

You can order tickets by calling the Box Office at 972-205-2790. If you use my name (Marty Scott) when ordering, you will receive a $6.00 savings off the regular price of $25.00, so you will pay the cast price of $19.00 plus a $1.00 service charge per ticket.

Performances are June 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, & 29. Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm.
