Minsky's:

Song list was the same as for your performance. I didn't notice any issues with the sound.

The scene with the Dr. Vinkles - Billy's Dr. Vinkle (also the Cop) reminded me so much of you when you're goofing off and hamming it up that I couldn't watch the scene without thinking of you. Or maybe it was the accent. "Couch!" ;) But then, Boris is a role I could totally see Patch playing with relish. "put it all together ( ... )

I rather liked the Dr.'s bit, and I am amused you thought of me. I didn't have a problem with Keep it clean as it was something they were rehearsing for a show -- and it is a nice comment on Sumner's desire for clean entertainment. I often object to opening an act with anything other than a strongly plot relevant number. I liked the costumes but from my nosebleed seats, it often took me a while to figure out who was whom.

It's odd that the Tap Happy grabbed you, becuase it completely failed to grab me -- but it is possible the number wasn't exactly the same -- that is the point of "out-of-town" tryouts.

Have you seen Pippin? I'd love your and Tass's thoughts on it.

Nope. Lately, if it's not included in my season Ahmanson seats, I'm not seeing it. :|
