When our &#8216;pep rally&#8217; date was first announced (we prefer to call it a pep rally&#8230;closing night sounds too final), we were super sad for like 48 hours. We cried, got angry, sad (sangry)&#8230;all of it. However, pretty quickly on came this wave of creative energy and excitement about all the possibilities for the future of [tos]. Truth is, Jeff and I succeeded the day we wrote down the first words of this show. Anytime anyone breaks through and starts to create something they love, they have succeeded. [title of show] is about not being afraid to dream out loud. Our dream was to tell this story on a Broadway stage, and with courageous producers and investors and blood sweat and tears from all the folks in our [tos] family, that dream is happening. While this [tos] chapter at the Lyceum is done on the 12th, I know that this journey is far from over. One of our awesome [tos]ser fans sent us this Louis L&#8217;Amour quote that says: &#8216;There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.&#8217; I love that. So we&#8217;re hitting pause this Sunday and then next up&#8230;maybe [tos] in some other cities and then back to New York (we want to have to get tuxes and dresses for the Broadway prom&#8230;also known as the Tony Awards!), plus a [tos] TV show, and we&#8217;re still keen on a [tos] blimp and theme park, too!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.playbill.com\/news\/article\/122230.html\">Hunter Bell to Playbill.com &#8211; 10\/10\/08<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Lots of folks have asked &#8216;How you guys doing?&#8217; or &#8216;How do you feel?&#8217; and the answer is, a lot of different emotions.
