As a runner and theatre maker, I love the sounds of this musical! Congrats to you on what is a HUGE accomplishment. It's such an insane feeling to hear professionals say the words (or sing the tunes) that you put on paper. Fair play!

(Also, I currently live in Ireland so feel free to hmu if you need any recommendations.)

You're so right, it feels like such a treat for them to elevate the story in their own ways.

And I'll wave to you from the plane! We are visiting friends in Dublin and then walking parts of the Wild Atlantic Way on the west coast, near Connemara, ending in Galway!

Congratulations!!! You have inspired me to vet carefully my next collaborator after my trauma following my good reading on 4/15. We also had the gifted Tracey Sallows. I am now getting off my butt and onto MAESTRA for a new partner. Enjoy the green land of Murphy and Guinness pints (and charming music).
