Most of our audience members so far have had white hair and they have been great! I wanted to draw out the younger crowd because they are really missing out.  So younger crowd… what get’s you excited?

Interracial relationships, polygamy, saloon women, alcohol, a hanging, swearing, theft, racism, Mormons, Mexicans, minors, or gold, all await you in this wild-west musical that takes place in California during the Gold Rush. We have a fantastic cast, a wonderful set, and some great voices, including myself and my wife in lead roles.

I, Jason the super white-boy, am playing Julio the Mexican, you can read about how silly that is, here.  My wife, Ashley, plays my lover Jennifer.  This comment was posted on Facebook (click here to go to my Facebook page):

“You guys both did FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!! You guys rock!! I am totally going to have to come see the show again! =)”

Now you are convinced for sure!  Back to the show… There is a lot of humor… I guarantee you will laugh and musicals are way better as a date idea than a movie.  Musicals have magic!

Now if you have seen the movie Paint Your Wagon with Clint Eastwood, it is quite different in plot.  If you haven’t, rent it!  They are really two completely different shows and I really like both of them.  The musical version lacks a couple songs in the movie, but has most of the popular songs and some good ones that the movie left out.  Those of you that haven’t seen this show simply because it is older or because it is not Andrew Lloyd Webber’s are really missing out, it has some fantastic songs.

So, if you are local, are you amazingly excited and convinced to come see the show?  If so call 208-677-ARTS to get tickets because the shows are selling out.

I am great! Okay, I admit, it may or may not be true… and I agree that I may not be at the caliber of Gandhi, Jesus, Buddha, etc.  Sure they were obviously great.  I also know you will use your power of judgment to decide, regardless of what I suggest, and that you likely assume most people are not great and doubt that this blog is great, but let me present an extremely persuasive argument.

So what could I write to convince you that 1) I am an amazing person, that 2) you really want to be friends with me, and that 3) you want to read every blog entry I write, subscribe to my blog, and invite me to do cool stuff with you?  Here goes… (more…)
