Here are some really positive comments from the Staged Reading.
I just wanted to reiterate how much I enjoyed E=MC². It is quite an accomplishment – a feather in your cap. The book is excellent, as well as the music. Well done!
I loved the comedy, which was totally appropriate and fitting for the characters. I loved Quantum Leap – cute as hell. Your perseverance and love for the project was on full display. The music moved the piece forward perfectly. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon of theater. It is easy to envision a fully professional company performing the piece on a large stage complete with orchestra, sets, and choreography.
I don’t know what your plans are for the show moving forward. Showbiz is as fickle as ever, but no matter what the future may bring you should be proud that you (and Janet) wrote… created a Broadway musical.I tip my hat to you both.
Really – I am speechless over your accomplishment. Music, lyrics, staging, choreography, the script, the research, the re-writes, the energy, time and effort you put into this! There are people who in their lives have an idea, are motivated, but just don’t have what it takes to push through and persevere. Whatever the outcome of E=MC² – you should feel the satisfaction that you gave this your all, and whether you get a Tony or not will not change that reality (although it might be nice
).
For starters, I want to thank you again for thinking of us and kindly inviting us to your musical. Of course we wouldn’t have missed it for the world, and we were so glad we came. I have to tell you, Karen, this work is utterly brilliant. We enjoyed it immensely from beginning to end, and were hanging on every word. You really nailed this. Superb in every way. All of the actors were wonderful, too.
