The Tens was a component of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lafestival.org/&quot;&gt;Los Angeles Festival of New American Musicals&lt;/a&gt;, which included dozens of high-profile productions over a span of several weeks.  Blenderman ran for a sumptuous twelve (count ‘em) performances, its longest run to date.</description>

Following a two-week run, our favorite defender of gastronomic healthfulness jetted back to the Northern Hemisphere with the Best Production and Audience Choice awards, while Blenderman’s alter-ego &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jamesmmillar.com/&quot;&gt;James M. Millar&lt;/a&gt; now has the Best Actor trophy to put on his super-mantle.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Kudos go to director Jane Miskovic for a reportedly choreography-rich and (did we mention?) award-winning interpretation of the Blenderman canon!  Look for a videorecording of the final night’s performance on this website in the not-too-far future!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;(*) Not the worst simile we’ve ever made, but close.</description>

Veteran stage director/choreographer Jane Miskovic’s production received &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aussietheatre.com/revshortsong08.htm&quot;&gt;high compliments&lt;/a&gt; from AussieTheater.com, which called Blenderman the “musical of the evening!”  (We didn’t even add that exclamation point!)</description>
