Cincinnati’s own musical ace Richard Oberacker is back in Las Vegas conducting Cirque du Soleil’s “Ka” after a big Monday in New York, presenting “Ace” to potential Broadway angels.

 

“It’s been the most exhausting two weeks of my life,” says Oberacker, who provided the accompaniment for the industry staged reading.

 

Oberacker was thrilled with the audience’s reception, but it really is all about the day after. The show’s producer Tom Smedes “hasn’t called me. That means he’s busy.”

The clock is ticking down if “Ace” wants to fly into a Broadway theater in time for Tony consideration. We’ll know one way or the other a month from now. In the meantime – send “Ace” warmest Christmas wishes for a happy new year…
