Hello Susan,
I’m proud to say that yes, I am. I’ve been secretly reading books on Dailylit for quite a while and thought it would be a good place to let Dickens fans know about the rare opportunity to see this musical performed. I hope it was okay for me to post here.
It plays a lot with literary references, the writing process of Dickens and the things going on behind-the-curtain at a theatre. It’s a wonderful show for literary nerds, like myself.

You're right that I usually delete ads (or at the very least mentions of commercial projects), but in this case, I've made an exception. I hope it's a successful show.
