Let the Games Begin!
It’s always an exciting time when we start work on a new show at Signature. Over the past month, the building has just been buzzing with enthusiasm for our new production of The FIX. Ever since Cameron Mackintosh introduced me to this exciting new musical, I’ve been on the countdown to begin work. And what a ride it’s been!
We’ve assembled the largest cast and crew ever to work on a Signature production. The cast comes from all across the east coast from Washington, New York and even Atlanta! It seems like everyone wanted to work on this new musical. Why, you might ask.
It’s an easy answer. I haven’t found a new American musical so fresh or exciting in the past five years. The FIX breaks boundaries, stretches muscles and dares to go where other musicals don’t. Original. Funny. Demanding. What more could you ask for? The feeling I came back after seeing the show in London last April has run rampant through the company. I hope you’ll have as good time as we have.
I want to give a special thanks to Cameron Mackintosh and his staff for their tremendous support of this production. We need more people like Cameron who believe in new talent like Jonh Dempsey and Dana Rowe and are willing to nurture that talent at a special place like Signature. We are thrilled with the opportunity to present the American premiere of The FIX.
Let the games begin!
