Chapter 24: The Party
Nobody in the ballroom said anything for several moments.
Two hundred people read with their thumbs.
Then the girl from Baltimore screamed.
She was standing by the shrimp table in a borrowed green dress, and she screamed so loud the bartender dropped a lime.
Joanie climbed onto a chair. Of course she did.
"Shut up, shut up, everybody shut up," she shouted. "I'm reading it out loud. I have the best voice in the room that isn't hers."
The room laughed and went quiet.
Joanie held her phone at arm's length.
"'The Last Ferry is the best new musical of the season,'" she read. "'And it is carried by a young woman who was standing in the back row of the ensemble a month ago.'"
The whole room turned to the shrimp table.
The girl from Baltimore had both hands over her face.
Joanie read the line about her voice.
Then she read the line about the storm: "the most thrilling six minutes on Broadway."
"There's more," Joanie said. "Listen. 'A production run with frightening precision.'"
