Tomorrow is opening night for the New Handover(your money) Theatre For the Performing Arts. I couldn't be more excited, Just look at the line up for the big night. Bernadette Peters, is she Bob's sister? How mediocre can you get? At least when the Centrum opened they got an A list performer. They got the building for a song from Redstone, got all kinds of tax breaks, donations and grants and they want people to "volunteer" to work there? You know there is probably someone at the top who's going to clean up. And as always, they say this will be the salvation of downtown Worcester. Just like the Mall was, the Centrum was, etc etc. We'll just have to wait and see.

LOL I'm not sure how big a deal the Hanover is, but Bernadette Peters is a class act, and especially for theatres that do musicals, who better than one of Broadway's legends to open it? Go see the show, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
I'm one of those crazy "volunteers" you speak of.
Couldn't be happier about the way I just went and volunteered my time on a Friday nite.
The opening night seemed to go off without any major hiccups that I was aware of. The place was 97% sold out and everyone seemed to enjoy the show.
I never thought that Peters was the best choice for the opener but I was able to catch 4 songs and will freely admit that for a 60 year old chanteuse, she has it going on!
And you may call it the "Handover" you money theatre, but try to go see David Copperfield in Boston at the Opera House or at The Hanover.... Ticket prices are almost the same. I live a 2 minute drive from The Hanover, would either park for free or $20.00 cheaper than in Boston and if I wanted to have a quality meal beforehand I could do that in town here cheaper than Boston. And I don't have to drive 100 miles round trip or pay tolls.
What is so bad about that??
