You have only seven more chances to see Honor, the new musical from Prospect Theater Company, where I’m playing percussion with the five piece orchestra directed by Dan Feyer.
The final show is on Sunday, May 18th at 3PM. You even have the chance to see it twice on Saturday at either 3PM or 8PM. You can buy tickets through Prospect’s website.

Through May 18, 2008 at the Hudson Guild Theatre, 441 West 26th Street. The theater might be hard to find for some. It’s closer to 10th Avenue and attached to the community center. Closest subway is the C or E to 23rd Street. Walk north on 8th Avenue to West 26th Street, then west to the theatre.
“Mills’ gift for infectious melodies and his singular brand of super-smart word play make him a realistic successor to the mantle of Stephen Sondheim.” — Theatermania
“All the performers are top-notch… If a crowd-pleaser like this can’t get a commercial transfer, it will be a real dishonor.” — Time Out New York
“Lovely, sumptuously realized… a very impressive and entertaining new musical… the large ensemble is exceptionally talented… you will emerge thoroughly enraptured with a new take on a classic tale.” — www.NYTheatre.com
“Peter Mills and Cara Reichel have managed to do the near impossible. They have taken Shakespeare’s comic masterpiece, kept its Elizabethan spirit, voice and wit, yet created a new, accessible work that brashly and, at times, poignantly speaks to contemporary musical theater.” —The New York Times, on ILLYRIA, adapted from TWELFTH NIGHT
