The kids & I had the pleasure of attending a performance of this really fine new musical!
A friend of mine from highschool (Stef Tovar) is playing Knute...and graciously provided us with comp. tickets for today's matinee! We also got a behind the scenes tour - which was really cool & so nice of Stef to provide! H & H were quoting lines from the show, and attempting to re-create the dance scenes for the remainder of the evening...
If you're willing & able to drive to Munster IN, you won't regret it! It may go far & you can say "I saw it when..."

Incidentally, the show is pretty kid-friendly - a few cuss words here & there, and some rather sexy dancing in the speakeasy scenes (two of them) - but my 7 & 9 year olds, plus my theatre-savvy even younger niece, truly enjoyed the show!

"Aren't sports and musicals supposed to be oil and water? Not here. "Knute Rockne All-American" ... makes the two seem profitably symbiotic."

I didn't realize he was in it. Do you find it as hard as I do to call him Stef? ;-)
