WOW! 11:30AM EST and I'm still the only one here... Just how early did BK post today?

Posted by Jose C. Simbulan @ 07/02/2003 08:30 AM PST

Dear BK: You've watched plenty of plays transferred to video. Have you ever wanted to direct a videotaping of a play? And if so, what titles would you want to tackle?

Posted by S. Woody White @ 07/02/2003 08:32 AM PST

For Ask BK Day---
In this day and age, a person can work for years on Broadway, win a Tony and still not be known to the general public unless they have done film or television. Bebe Neuwirth did several shows, but nobody knew who she was until "Cheers". Likewise Jane Krakowski was in several shows but it was "Ally McBeal" that made her a name.
Do you feel that people like (to give four examples) Michelle Pawk, Brent Barrett, Debbie Gravite or Karen Ziemba need to take time off from their stage careers and work in the kind of crap that passes as sitcoms today in order to return to Broadway where they belong as easier-to-sell names?

Posted by William E. Lurie @ 07/02/2003 08:46 AM PST

Someone yesterday raised an interesting topic for discussion:

Have you ever heard a song from a show, that was so good it prompted you to rush out and buy the CD? If so, were you pleased or disappointed with your purchase?

Some examples of mine would be:

NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY: I had heard "So Far, So Good" on the Broadway Bound CD, and went out and picked up the cast recording. This is a very fun recording, and I enjoy quite a bit on it, but nothing quite lives up to that one song.

THE GAY LIFE: Heard Nancy LaMott's recording of "Something You Never Had Before" and wanted to hear the rest of the score. Well, I heard it. Once. Not a bad score, but I haven't listened to it since.

DRAT, THE CAT!: After hearing "She's Roses" (and armed with the knowledge that "She Touched Me" was also from this show) I ordered this one, and found it utterly charming. I've always thought it might be fun to direct this show one day.

ONCE ON THIS ISLAND: Unlike WEL, I already had the cast recording of this show by the time I heard "Come Down From That Tree". I think the song is as good as anything that remains in the score, but not better.

BROWNSTONE: Having heard "Since You Stayed Here" and "He Didn't Leave it Here" for so long, I'm eager to finally get the chance to hear the rest of the score. I'll be placing my order very soon.

Posted by Dave @ 07/02/2003 09:25 AM PST

Or, another possible (somewhat related) topic:

Have you ever bought a cast recording completely on spec, without any knowledge of the music, the cast, or creative team, and been pleasantly surprised at your discovery?

Posted by Dave @ 07/02/2003 09:27 AM PST

I bought "The Rink" solely because of "Colored Lights" and was certainly not disappointed.
And I got "They're Playing Our Song" after hearing someone sing "Just For Tonight," which is still one of my favorite songs from that score, although I found the whole thing enjoyable. It was nice to discover that "Falling" was also from the show -- I hadn't realized that. "Carousels" pushed me to buy "Jacque Brel is Alive...", and I got "Starting Here, Starting Now" after hearing "I Don't Remember Christmas", both of which were extremely wise purchases.

I purchased "Songs For a New World" almost solely on a whim (it was on sale and had a nice cover) and was so terribly pleased with myself afterward. But I think usually something or other draws me to a cd, even if I haven't planned to buy it -- a singer I'm familiar with, a writer, a producer, something. I'm really too poor to gamble with eighteen dollars.

Posted by Anna @ 07/02/2003 09:45 AM PST

This is a question I have been meaning to ask on "Ask BK Day" for a long time: You arrive at the theater for a performance. Your seat is in the center of the orchestra, and many fellow playgoers are already seated in your row. The legroom situation is a bit tight (this is an old theater) and you need to make your way past these fellow playgoers to get to your seat. As you do so, do you face your fellow playgoers (so they have a close-up view of your crotch) or do you face away from them (so they have close-up view of your tuchus)?

Posted by Jay @ 07/02/2003 09:56 AM PST

Question for BK: As a producer, how do you come up with the title of a CD when it's not obvious (the cast recording for Merrily We Roll Along, etc.)? For example, I mentioned yesterday that I just picked up a copy of Sally Mayes Our Private World. That is just one of the songs on this wonderful CD. Did you discuss it w/Ms Mayes? Did you know that you wanted that song to also be the title? Does that song sum up your feelings about the music on the CD?

Posted by Ben @ 07/02/2003 10:04 AM PST

I have a second question!

Lately, over at Sondheim.com, the question has come up again about what shows by Mr. Sondheim work best when introducing a newbie to his ouvre.

Which shows would you suggest as good Sondheim-introducers? And which shows would you avoid? And do you like the word "ouvre"?

(Hmmm, that's second, third, and fourth questions. Or, more factually, third/fourth/fifth, as I asked two questions the first time.)

Posted by S. Woody White @ 07/02/2003 10:05 AM PST

For Ask BK Day --

As an audience member, what would you say was the most memorable night you have ever had in live theater?*

* This is not the same as "what is your favorite musical?" or "who gave the best performance you have ever seen on stage?". It does not even have to mean that you had to like what you saw. In fact, your most memorable night might have been a total flop. I am interested in what night stands out in your mind, more than any other, when you think of Broadway and of live theater.

As an example: To me, the most memorable night was the opening night of "42nd Street" back in '80, when David Merrick walked on stage during the curtain call and announced that Gower Champion had died that day. I have never seen so much excitement and joy turn to such horror and sadness in one blink of an eye.

Posted by TCB @ 07/02/2003 10:07 AM PST

It's Today! A Jerry Herman reference.

Well...hmmmmm....I can hardly wait for answers to these questions.

Okay - my question for Mr BK today is:

In a stock or touring company of a musical, if a "star" is involved - do you think it is allright to change the material to suit the said "star" since a lot of people will be coming to the show to see said "star" or should the show be kept as written to please those others in the audience who might be coming to see "the show"?

Jose is on the roof and we can't get him down.

What an unusual arrangment for the pit - unique and euphonious.

Posted by Jrand52 @ 07/02/2003 10:17 AM PST

Aha, ask BK day, how wonderful.

How do you solve a problem like Maria?

Posted by Sarah @ 07/02/2003 10:18 AM PST

For Ask BK day: Was there any film or television role that you auditioned for and really, really wanted, but did not get? And, was there any role that you got but, for whatever reson, wished afterwards that you hadn't done.

Posted by MBarnum @ 07/02/2003 10:18 AM PST

Hi BK--awoke this fair morning to find that my copy of Kritzerland had been delivered to my doorstep. Can't wait to dive in and discover Benjamin's latest shenanigans--haha, what a great word. Snaginanehs spelled backwards.

My question is what book, movie or play would you like to see musicalized most? For me, it would be The Women...I think that would be an awesome musical.

Posted by Maya @ 07/02/2003 10:31 AM PST

For Ask BK Day (and to cheat by twisting Maya’s question):

What popular book, movie or play would you least likely to have musicalized?

I think “Proof - the Musical” would take my pick in the play category at least.

Posted by Emily @ 07/02/2003 10:42 AM PST

whoops...

that should read “like” and not “likely”

:)

Posted by Emily @ 07/02/2003 10:43 AM PST

But “Crucible - the Musical” definitely comes in second ;)

Posted by Emily @ 07/02/2003 10:44 AM PST

Haha, Emily! Imagine if they tried to title it like the Seussical...the Crusical!

Posted by Maya @ 07/02/2003 10:47 AM PST

How about GONE WITH THE WIND as an Italian opera? The title would be SPENTO COL VENTO.

OOOPS that should be

http://www.haineshisway.com/juliana

See what a rush I am in!? lol

Posted by Craig @ 07/02/2003 11:03 AM PST

Love the new journal entry. Juliana's realization at just how "big" a job she has reminds me of the time when I realized just how important the piano part was for Into The Woods - especially those very exposed - solo - triplet figures in the opening sequence. And thinking back every now and then, and patting myself on the back for never really messing those runs up once we started performances. -The first orchestra rehearsal was a different story... yikes!

And in the bigger picture, Juliana's thoughts sum up just how much work performers - actors, singers, dancers, musicians - really do when they perform - when they work. All the hours of rehearsal, all the studying of moves, all the running of lines, all the drilling of certain passages, etc. And it's so nice when the "work" also becomes "art". -Almost a Sondheim reference there.

Hmm.. that was a little bit of a ramble... ah, well... At least I got my run in before the rain started up again.

See you tonight after second tech!

Posted by Jose C. Simbulan @ 07/02/2003 11:22 AM PST

"Have you ever bought a cast recording completely on spec, without any knowledge of the music, the cast, or creative team, and been pleasantly surprised at your discovery?"

I loved "Lizzie Borden". Thought it was great.

And I'm pretty sure that "Passion" was taped in an empty theatre. That way, they didn't have to worry about all those annoying people laughing at all the wrong moments, which is a serious problem with this show. They set out to make a show with no relief for the audience, then were surprised when the audience found its own relief.

Posted by Christopher @ 07/02/2003 11:28 AM PST

I'm wondering if the dates are off on the Julianna Diary? The entry added today (July 2) is dated June 24. The previous entires were dated June 22 and June 23 although they were not posted on consecutive days. Is she writing daily but they are only getting posted every three days (which will bring a bigger gap as there are more entries) or are the dates wrong or what? The entries are excellent but the dates don't seem to be in sync.

Posted by William E. Lurie @ 07/02/2003 11:31 AM PST

Dear BK --
Are you sure this isn't Monday? I am definitely having a Monday.

Thanks to Juliana, BK, and Craig! It's almost like being there!

Juliana, you go, girl!

Posted by Jrand52 @ 07/02/2003 11:50 AM PST

William-

Juliana has been writing whenever she can get a chance. Not everyday. The journal dates are correct as when they were written to maintain the integrity of the journal. As of right now, I have 5 journal entries from her and we have been posting every few days because she is about to go on the road and might take some extra time to get situated and we wanted entries to keep flowing...

So to answer your question.. do not adjust that TV Dial :)

Posted by TCB @ 07/02/2003 12:16 PM PST

Dear esteemed, suave, international, autographical, and dashing BK,

This question is pallid in comparison to all the previous intelligent and probing posts. But, I was just wondering if you would mind letting me know the real first names of the equivalent "Ernie & Minnie?"

I have to be E&T starting tomorrow through saturday night...I have to drag my tuchus to Oakland to perform at a convention. Please issue my appropriate hall pass, fearless leader.

Posted by MusicGuy @ 07/02/2003 12:24 PM PST

How does one advertise a performing tuchus?

And what kind of convention would schedule that as entertainment?

Posted by Curious @ 07/02/2003 12:30 PM PST

Jrand52 glad you enjoyed the brownies. Mine are still in the oven. Craig, thanks for the link to Juliana. Her enthusiasm is so delightful.

Posted by Jane @ 07/02/2003 12:35 PM PST

BK - Is there a way to know if there is more than one national touring company of TMM, and if so, which one is going where. The show is scheduled to be in Seattle next March at the 5th Aveune, and I am wondering if that is Juliana's company? I would love to see the show anyway, but it would make it so much more fun to see her in the show.

Posted by TCB @ 07/02/2003 12:55 PM PST

Chapter 3 of Juliana's Diary is just as wonderful as the first two entries. Juliana seems like such a delight. I am keeping great thoughts for her..... as well as for poor Jason, who when last seen was slogging around in scarlet pimpernels up to his ankles.

I was just thinking last night how blessed I feel to be part of the Haines / Kimlet family, albeit on the fringe. Not only do I get to read and enjoy the musings of BK and all of the dear readers, but I also can follow the budding careers of Juliana and Jason and so many others. Since DOLLY closed on Sunday, I have had the words of Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” swirling through my head. I am not sure I would describe my mood as melancholy, but certainly reflective would be in the ballpark. How wonderful it must feel to be preparing for a national tour of TMM, not only as a member of the company, but as the understudy to Millie. And even for Jason, amid the highs and lows of rehearsal, to be spending the summer doing what he loves, and getting paid to do it. Currently, I have no acting jobs on the horizon until November, and then I follow that up with a directing job in December / January. Until then, things are looking kind of bleak. Nothing to do but go to my job each morning, and then come home each night. Oh, I know the phone calls will start coming in again around the end of July, and then I will be complaining about too many conflicts, but for now – Nothing!

God! Was that the most self-pitying post you have ever read?

Posted by TCB @ 07/02/2003 01:08 PM PST

No, TCB, that was not the most self-pitying post. There are man in the archives.

Posted by William E. Lurie @ 07/02/2003 01:22 PM PST

A history teacher I had in high school once told me that he had been to see something called "Holocaust -- the musical!" He claimed it had been complete with exclamation mark. Has anyone else ever heard of this one? I think that's rather hard to top.

For BK: While we're ruminating on this wednesday/tuesday business, have you a favorite day of the week?

Posted by Anna @ 07/02/2003 01:26 PM PST

Anna - The closest I've heard of to a HOLOCOUST musical was a musical version of THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK.

And for the person who mentioned a musical GONE WITH THE WIND, there have been two so far. The first (in the 1970s) had a score by Harold Rome and played London, Japan and a couple of cities on the West Coast but never came to Broadway. The second is currently (or was recently) playing in France. I have heard the score and it is all techno-rock. When the best song in a version of GTTW goes to Belle Watling, you know you are in trouble.

Posted by William E. Lurie @ 07/02/2003 01:54 PM PST

WEL: I looked and there are no men in the archives. Am enjoying these posts. By the way (BTW, in Internet lingo) I was just told that someone who is a fan of Juliana's Journal just posted about the current entry on All That Chat, and the post was removed instantly. I do believe that this is war. Anyone have the e-mail address for Mr. Michael Reidel?

Posted by bk @ 07/02/2003 01:54 PM PST

I have to agree with bk on this one. No one worships Mr. Sondheim any more than I do, but PASSION just doesn't do it for me. I taped it off PBS when it aired (the show closed in NYC before I got to see it), and have watched it probably 10 times. I can appreciate some of the music, but much of it just doesn't move or inspire me as I would have hoped. That's OK. He's got his full quota of masterpieces under his belt, and obviously lots of people adore PASSION, so I don't mind being left on the other side of the door with this one.

For Ask BK Day: The Chaplin Collection you're looking for contains THE GOLD RUSH, MODERN TIMES, THE GREAT DICTATOR, and LIMELIGHT. Which of these four is your favorite? Which OTHER Chaplin movie would you have rather seen in the first collection? (I love Chaplin and am curious as to your favorites, etc.)

Posted by Matt H. @ 07/02/2003 01:59 PM PST

BK - the newspaper he writes for should have an official site with a list of the staff including contact emails.

Posted by Jrand52 @ 07/02/2003 02:14 PM PST

Passion is a Sondheim work that I respect more than I adore. I too saw it on PBS, and I don't know...the cast was incredible, especially the divoon Marin Mazzie and Donna Murphy, and the score is solidly-crafted but I feel as if the passion of the title, portrayed so blazingly between the love triangle, isn't really in the show. Of course Sondheim's work has always been criticized as lacking passion, and I really don't agree with that...for Passion I do. It just seems kind of cold and...detached. Does that make any sense?

TCB...everyone goes through periods of self-pity..it's one of those things that keep you human. Don't feel bad about sharing your emotions here...I think everyone can relate.

BK--have read about 50 pages of Kritzerland...every bit as good as the first book...I've laughed out loud quite a bit so far. And Juliana's journal still rocks...I too feel like I'm there inside the rehearsal process.

Nice to live vicariously every now and then.

Posted by Maya @ 07/02/2003 02:17 PM PST

TCB - rehearsal-performance withdrawal is common...
Consider this catch up time for music-cd-DVD's and the time will fly. Also a great time to SEE all the plays and musicals in the area that you haven't been able to see - along with TV and movies!

It's like a vacation!

Posted by Jrand52 @ 07/02/2003 02:29 PM PST

TCB, it sounds like you are suffering from a bout of PCS - Post Closing Syndrome. It's that inevitable let-down that follows the high of live performance. I imagine we all go through it. I've often wondered who suffers worse from this phenomenon - the professionals, who now have to worry about their next job, or the amateurs, who have to return to theirs.

Keep your chin up. Drop that long face. Stiff upper lip. Put on a happy face!

Hmmm, Dave, would that be a Strouse, Adams, Stewart reference???

Thank you all, for your words of encouragement. Your right, I will be feeling better in a few days. Normally it wouldn't be so bad, but my Dolly flew off to the Poconos for vacation the day after we closed, so I don't even have anyone to call and commiserate with this week.

I eventually caught up with the dVd of "Kiss Me Kate" this week. Mr Barrett is indeed wonderful.
I wonder why no applause at the end of "It's Too Darn Hot". I guess it must have been too difficult to film in front of an audience but it is odd as the other "back stage" songs have audience applause.
Any thoughts on the matter?
I thought BB's take on "Where Is The Life.." was the best I have heard.

TCB, I know from the Post Partum Syndrome. It also comes with returning home from a good vacation. No cure for it that I know of, except maybe going on another vacation (or doing another show).

The truth of the matter is, the best elixir for all that ails you is a positive attitude, gratitude, and a daily dose of laughter.

Keep smiling!

Posted by Susan @ 07/02/2003 03:23 PM PST

Ask BK question:

I'm an "All That Chat" newbie and wonder at which version you, BK, and the others, are experiencing the ignominy of having your totally on-topic posts removed?

Is it ATC Classic or ATC West Coast?

If it's a specific one, do you think the problem would recur at the other?

Posted by Ron Pulliam @ 07/02/2003 04:39 PM PST

It's classic, Ron. The regular board (classic) has nothing to do with the West Coast board so no, nothing recurs.

Have you seen Thoroughly Modern Millie on Broadway, and what did you think?
Are you a fan of the Star Trek series? If not, do you find them horrific?
Have you ever heard of Bumpass, Virginia? Never go there.
When you write, do you actually write, or type? If on paper, do you use lined, or computer, or legal pads?
Do you think the youth of today is boring, lazy, active, informed, stupid, annoying, fun, full of potential, or other?
And last but not least: Do you believe that what goes up must come down? (physical and metaphysical things)

Taha, that took away...2 minutes of absolute boredom. Off to ponder other nonsense.

Posted by Dave @ 07/02/2003 06:09 PM PST

Just got back from seeing Legally Blonde 2--not going to win any Oscars but a very pleasant and funny way to pass an hour and a half. If I'm not mistaken, Hairspray's own Jackie Hoffman had a cameo in it.

Sarah--It's nice to see a fellow Virginian onboard! Where exactly is Bumpass located? I'm guessing it's not up here in Northern Virginia where I live--a city called Woodbridge which is about 45 minutes south of DC and home of the famed (and cheap) Potomac Mills Shopping Mall! Which reminds me...I really need to do some shopping... :)

Posted by Maya @ 07/02/2003 08:20 PM PST

I saw the KISS ME KATE revival in NYC, and I have to say I think our Broadway singers and dancers outsang and outdanced their British counterparts in "Too Darn Hot." My biggest objection on the televised version, however, was the very poor direction/filming of Michael Berresse's incredible "Bianca" which drew gasps and continuous applause throughout on Broadway. On the televised version, Michael Blakemore was cutting away to get the actress playing Lois' reactions to Bill instead of showing us the incredible dancing and gymnastics. It criminally lessened the impact of this amazing number.

Posted by Matt H. @ 07/02/2003 09:15 PM PST

Dear BK:
I notice on Michael Shayne's groovy site about you on the recording diary page, Guy Haines is at the microphone singing his song from the pages of something marked "Scarlet" instead of from the music marked "Look for a Star." Can you explain this?

Posted by Laura @ 07/02/2003 11:59 PM PST

I'm in Ashburn, in Loudoun Count, which isn't too far from you! and from where I am right now, Bumpass is 2 hours south, near Lake Anna, I think. I'm actually leaving to go there right now, for a 4th party with some friends, so I won't be checking in until Sunday. Have a lovely time this weekend, Happy 4th!

Posted by Sarah @ 07/03/2003 05:57 AM PST

Laura - Guy is reading Scarlet Street, the magazine sponsoring the CD! The CD will be available on its site first.

DR TD is a regular contributor to SS! Fun genre publication - look for it at your local bookstore or news stand.

Posted by Jrand52 @ 07/03/2003 06:33 AM PST

DR Sarah -

I had the privelege of taking the photo of Guy during the NY sessions. He had just finished recording "Look For a Star" and was reading one of his favorite magazines - Scarlet Street - when I took the shot. As I shot these sessions with a Nikon D100 - a high end digital SLR (talk about instant gratifiation!) - Guy was able to view it immediately and gave it a thumbs up.

As soon as Craig & Mark get the rest of the photos up (Michael Shayne has several good ones also), I believe you're all in for a treat!
