This is not so much a question as it is a statement about the Annoyance since the Soloways left. With the exception of a FEW actors, the Soloways took all of Mick’s top performers. This is evident with the constant resurgence of shows like Tippi Portrait of a Virgin and Manson the Musical. Two shows directed by two of the people that Napier was so embarrassed to see on TV waiting for laughs. It’s also odd how Napier wasn’t saying “God please don’t mention the Annoyance Theatre” when Rolling Stone, Newsweek, People, and the rest came courting the little shop on Broadway. And Mick wasn’t too bored or resistant when it came time to take Tuesday night’s house to the bank. Stupid as it was, that show made a shit load of money for the Annoyance. It also launched a few television careers in the process, with the exception of Mick’s, that is.
Faith Soloway is a great composer. Her music can still be heard every weekend at the Annoyance.
