Click for 30-minute audio program on workshopping of I've Never Been So Happy, from John Aielli's KUT program "Aielli Unleashed," posted on June 10.
John Aielli's comment: The very big cast, well, a good number of them, came in and did a feature with musical/dramatic excerpts from the show. it’s still being worked on. The music is by the wonderfully talented Peter Stopschinsky of brown whornet fame. The selections you’ll hear show the variety of styles represented. Don’t try to pigeonhole this one. the show is being presented ON THE STAGE (as in the audience will be on the stage too) of the B. Iden Payne theatre this Saturday, July 13. The show is to be presented again this fall at the off center.
