We want to apologize for the extreme delay in an update.

When we are able to renew the old domain we will have both domains pointing to the same website to make it easier. So please update your bookmarks to our new domain!

Due to the delay in updates we have a lot of wonderful news to catch up on!

We're sorry for the much delayed update but in case you have not heard, Jim's most recent Broadway show The Story of My Life played its final performance on February 22nd 2009, after only five performances. For the very few who were fortunate enough to see it, we here at JSO hope that you enjoyed it because it truly was a charming and well-made musical and one that was very close to Jim's heart. It's a shame that in this economy, it couldn't find a longer life. According to the producers a cast recording will be released and though Jim will not be present on it we here at JSO implore you to pick it up and give it a listen. As always we will keep you updated on Jim's future projects when the news is made available.

We have a picture from the opening night after party of The Story of My Life that has been added! Go check it out now in our Gallery!
