Kill the Director

Last week, Marilyn the Musical had its workshop! And it had its ups and downs. Bernadette Peters played Ivy’s hard-to-please mother. Backers showed up and it was sweltering! In the end, the critics weren’t too kind to Marilyn. The creatives decide to sack Michael and look to the future.


This week, radio silence. Julia and Tom haven’t heard anything from Eileen. Julia is really worried so Frank sings to her. It’s not Brian d’Arcy James’ best performance but there is a promise of a proper performance from him later in the season to look forward to. In his bedroom, Leo can hear the song and smiles, thinking all is well.
