Kurt Vonnegut
In the mid 90's I went to the Philadelphia premier performance of a musical based upon Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle. Mr. Vonnegut was in attendance, sitting about five or six rows behind me. He ducked out quickly after each act, apparently to satisfy his nicotine addiction.
He was sufficiently pleased with the show to give the producers permission to take the musical to New York. From my little sample of the audience, I gathered that those of us who had read the book enjoyed the show, while those who had not were completely befuddled. Never heard of the show again.
Thus ends my Kurt Vonnegut story.
