DVD TESTIMONIALS:

Mr. Neal,
I got the DVD yesterday & just got finished watching it. The play & your performance are great additions to the legacy that Monk started. I've been hooked on Monk's music for greater than 25 years now. I think his music is the best representation of his personality but this work of art brought to life by you has left me feeling that I know him, whichÊincreases my appreciation of that music. Thank you for that! Thank you also for the bonus DVD with reactions to the play. My brother lives in NYC & I hope that next time I visit I'll be able to catch Monk The Play live. Take care.
Chris Klockau, Kansas City

I also have the DVD... It's a show very much worth producing. The story about this artist is both gripping and compelling. I was moved.
William Parker, Sacramento, California
