    You rock, @finalsbound. I'm so glad you enjoyed it as much as you did. If you're coming back PM me to let me know when so I can do my best to come by and say hi at least, even if I can't stay for the performance.

    It's Jeff Balke, Batman. If you used a smart phone, it may have "corrected" your spelling. ;)
    Everything else is right on the money!

    that's helpful, and I'll look forward to it at UH Libraries when the time comes. It occurs to me that if I could talk my daughter into it and she could get the script and licensing rights, maybe she could get it performed here locally from among her theater contacts. hmmm . . . .

    Watched it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it! I actually sat right next to the 2 media reporters asking questions and they were great. The "Tiny People" song was laugh out loud funny, and my wife couldn't hold her laughter anytime Pippen made an appearance. Really good acting and singing performances by all.

    I've never watched a musical at MATCH before, so I was surprised how close everyone got to sit to the stage and the overall small size of the room. It was definitely an intimate experience.

    So glad you dug it! I don't know if opening night or tonight was scarier. Both scary, both wins. I'll take it.

    This is a huge story and one that should never be forgotten by true Rockets fans. Jeff Balke almost single-handedly saved our Rockets at a time when our future was very much up in the air. He has my eternal thanks as he should have every Houston Rockets' fans eternal thanks. Without Jeff's efforts there's no reason to believe we'd even have a home team to root for this year.
