Thanks, Natalie,

I personally saw the London production at the original house in 1976, and 
it "Transformed" my life. I still prefer the stage version.

Perhaps someone on campus has a hankering to play a Transexual 
Transylvanian Transvestite. Are there any budding Tim Currys out there?

Gee, this should much more interesting Raven fare than salaries, unions, 
Comcast, timeshares, used cars and the like. I should have thought of it 
last week.

Cheers.
Kim
