Vocal Workshop

July 18-23rd, 2011
Boston, MA

Between July 18-23rd, 2012 we completed our first workshop for "The Face" in Boston.. Despite a 2 day travel delay due to difficulties with Dan Norman's visa (our fabulous tenor from the UK who plays RAPHAEL) the cast did an incredible job of preparing a complete run through and workshop recording of "The Face". Our special thanks to Gil Rose (Guest Conductor) who helped prepare the cast and also Joel Gordon (Recording Engineer/Producer) who created a fabulous recording!
