If you have yet to see it, you should wonder on over to the Chanhassen Dinner Theatres website and check out the “behind the scenes at CDT” video. Here, you can learn all sorts of wonderful secrets about “The Chan”, as 42nd Street director Michael Brindisi muses about the show.

I’m kidding, of course.

There are only two magical secrets revealed: Brindisi likes to make really loud slurpie sounds when drinking coffee, and Chan actors aren’t very good at acting interested.

The only thing you’ll learn from watching this pretentious piece of shit is exactly how long you can listen to Brindisi before you want to grind your nuts off with a belt sander. For me, it was 1:22. Enjoy.

Sandbox Theatre will be holding auditions on May 10th with callbacks on May 11th.
