Thank you all so much for you good wishes. I have 30 people coming today for brunch before we go to the matinee. I've arranged for a few little ones to come back stage and meet the principals - Dorothy, lion, scarecrow, tinman, Glinda and The Wicked Witch and of course the Munchkins.

I went out on the patio last night - there is a portico there where I thought we'd just see what was up - during intermission where the audience can go. A few people spotted me holding Daisy. I let all the kids pet her - she loves it - and most of the people are amazed at how well she does and they have told me they think she is the star. Me too. When she goes on for her final bow in Dorothy's Arms the applause is huge and the ovation standing. Only 6 more performances
