Pictures from the Los Angeles set…

February 27th, 2008

Alex and I are having a blast– the Sunday, March 2nd show is sold out, but do try to come down and get in on the waiting list! 

 And we still have seats available for March 6th.

 Here I am on my corner of the set, reading my “Dear Helen” journal:

And here’s Alex, lounging in his “bedroom”:

 The genius who helped us get Reddy for the new space, director Joseph P. McDonnell:

The walls on the set for “The Erikson Report” are covered with paintings, and since we have a limited amount of time to change the set over, we decided to put Helen into the mix– here she is turning up in the most unexpected places:

And my favorite “Helen lounging on beach”:

 Finally, here’s the verdict from LA Weekly:

 ”Do we really need a tribute to the songs of Helen Reddy?  You bet your “Delta Dawn” we do!”

We couldn’t agree more.  See you at the show.

Everyone who’s anyone…

is coming to see opening night.  We’re working hard for the next two days, and Thursday night we get to share the Helen.  Do come and enjoy! 

And have you checked the unofficial Helen page?  www.http://helenreddy.virtualave.net/Home.html.  There’s quite a debate going on on the message board about whether or not we make fun of Helen.  Of course we don’t.  We just make fun.  Xo Joanna

Three weeks ’til opening!

January 21st, 2008

Hi, folks. Thanks for coming to the blog. It’s three weeks until we open in Los Angeles, and I’m a-tizzy with a-happenings. I am completely in mania with all that is Helen Reddy. Did you know that if you go to her official site, www.helenreddy.com, you can listen to the actual demo tape for “I Am Woman”? It’s very funky, it sounds like reggae, with guitar chords on the offbeat. Or like something that that horrible beatboxing guy might do on American Idol. Such sacrilege. There is but one idol. And she is Helen.

Alex and I have been rehearsing like mad.

See you in Los Angeles on February 7th!
