Well, dear readers, I have a very early start today, so I’m afraid I must not dawdle. I must get to the point. I must not stray from the point – and the point would be that I must not dawdle. Of course, I have done nothing but dawdle, but I shan’t dawdle any longer. I shan’t dawdle because I do not like the look of the word “dawdle”.
I forgot to write about seeing Dave Frishberg on Thursday night. It was a duo act – Dave and a fellow named Bob Dorough. Bob was fine, but Dave was really excellent – funny, laid back and charming. I’d never seen him perform live before and I don’t really know his material all that well. I met him after the show but couldn’t get to dear reader Pam’s questions. However, I can tell you that Mr. Frishberg will be appearing in the New York version of the Tourette Syndrome benefit.
I had an exhausting day yesterday – just endless. I did meet some interesting folks, which was fun. And today shall be just as exhausting. I will need all of you dear readers to keep things going here as I won’t be able to return to haineshisway.com until the early evening hours. So, remember, don’t dawdle, whatever you do.
Well, shall we all click on the Unseemly Button below, lest we be accused of dawdling?
Today is, of course, our Unseemly Trivia Contest day, and I’ve come up with a quickie for your mental delectation:
A flop musical
The composer’s first Broadway musical
The authors’ first Broadway musical
The director’s first Broadway musical
The male lead’s first and last Broadway musical
The authors and director would go on to work with a musical theater legend multiple times. The composer would go on to have a major career in the musical theater.
Name the musical.
Name the composer.
Name the authors
Name the director
Name the male lead.
Remember, DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS TO THE SITE. You may e-mail them to me at bruce@haineshisway.com, or simply use the Ask BK button on our fancy-shmancy home page. And don’t forget, Donald will have a brand spanking new radio show up and running on Sunday.
Well, I must take the day, I must do the things I do and I must do the things I do for many many many (that is three manys) hours. Today’s topic of discussion (and please talk about whatever else you feel like): Your suggestions for casting Nudie Musical for the stage. I already have several fairly concrete ideas, but I really would like to hear your ideas. Post away, my pretties.
