![]() ![]() The first time I saw it in a workshop at the Public Theater-or a reading-I’m such a theatrical idiot, I can’t keep these straight-the first time with actors reading and singing was really good. What Lisa and Jeanine did was they took my book all apart, found the things that made it work and put it all back together somehow.ĭid you worry in moments it wasn’t clicking that you’d made a mistake? Even objectively, it’s an amazing adaptation. On the whole, I feel like it’s incredibly faithful to my story. I’ve watched it evolve over the years and there have been moments when I felt it wasn’t clicking and many when it was. My first exposure was listening to the score on a CD. I expected to feel a remove, and I expected to feel a remove from the story. If it was film, I might have have been more territorial.ĭo you feel as though you’re watching your own life experience onstage, or experiencing it at a sort of aesthetic remove? It was clear this was a completely different medium. I didn’t really know what I was getting into. ![]() That was part of why I signed on for this. I came from a theatrical family, but I never took a passionate interest in it. ![]()
