Where is he when he's supposed to be onstage??
I was doing I Remember Mama a few years back as Papa, and I had a scene that began with me clowning around with my youngest daughter with some sugar cubes. Curtain opens, lights up, me at kitchen table, NO DAUGHTER! I ad-libbed something lame like, "Such a morning!" It was a nightmare. Then as another actress shows up to cover, the daughter comes running on. She had been having fun with friends and forgot about her scene. Egads
Has anyone written the definitive plum song?
DR Rodzinski. Just checked my "The Cheater" CD - also has "Apple Peaches Pumpkin Pie". Coincidence time.
It's funny how our entertainment choices in so many media have decreased with time, when by all rights, they should have increased. I speak here of fewer movies in wide release, fewer record labels, fewer unique radio stations, fewer Broadway shows...
Dang it... I've got 7 of the 8 parts of the Unseemly Trivia, but the final part is giving me some trouble!
Have people noticed that Broadway Revival Cast Recordings are no longer billed as such? Is there stigma?It won't be long before they are called "soundtracks" I fear.
They are now The NEW Broadway Cast Recording.
I still believe I'm right about it's being LORELEI; also, DRMattH, what I said about the HELLO DOLLY! recording with Mary Martin was that it was ESSENTIALLY the national tour cast; the show began its tour in Cncinnati, headed west, went to Viet Nam and ended up in London. There were cast replacements but I believe all the leads on the recording were seen by me at the Shubert Theatre in Cincinnati.
I'd forgotten about the second BEYOND THE FRINGE recording; wasn't it called something like "Son of . . ."?
DRJed, we agree on the plum song.
Favorite fruit: Richard Simmons.
I think the key word is Broadway cast recording.
Just as Mary Martin was the London/tour recording it does not qualify.
Good Morning, Larry.
Well... I suspect there will be no need for a round of bitchslapping today!!!
-Unless, of course, you're in to that kind of thing.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
;)
Depends which end you're on.
Berries are my favourite fruits" Raspberries, Strawberries, Blackberries, Blueberries, Loganberries and Youngberries.

Must be the heat.
:P
And, now, Ladies and Gentlemen... Madames et Messieurs....

Ahhhhhhhhhh........ PAGE FOUR.

The first Lorelei recording was for the Tour. The second Lorelei recording was for the version that ending up on Broadway.
Just as Mary Martin was the London/tour recording it does not qualify.
The 2nd Fringe recording was
Beyond the Fringe '64
While browsing the Sprint PCS site, I decided to check out the Ring Tones section. Who knew?!?!? I could have songs from Avenue Q, Wicked, Fiddler on the Roof, or even Hair and Hairspray as my ring tones. Pop, Hip-Hop, Country, Jazz, Gospel, etc. There's even College Fight Songs.But not the theme from Good Eats?
My "favorite" section was there ones with the Spanish woman's (voice) reading sexy greetings.."Hey, Papi.." Unfortunately, there was no sexy man's voice... But I'm sure there's a website for those too somewhere. And that search shall have to wait for another day. Or not.

Wild kiwifruit are serious environmental weeds. Vines pose a danger to native bush and exotic forest, as they are very long-lived and grow prolifically, strangling and even breaking trees. A single 30-year-old wild vine can smother 1000 square metres of scrub and young bush.
You beat me to the punch, DR Michael Shayne. Mary Martin NEVER played Broadway with HELLO, DOLLY, and the entire discussion was (supposed to be) about Broadway cast replacements re-recording the Broadway score on a new album.
Well, I was actually speculating on possibilities, but it certainly got a lot of panties into bunches! I forgot one of the most famous examples: COMPANY, which replaced Dean Jones' vocals with Larry Kert's, for the "London cast recording" but kept everything else from the Broadway cast recording.
Did anyone mention this recording and I missed it? I hate being dragged over the coals!
Correct. This is how I understood the conversation.I don't know the show, but was the Beyond the Fringe '64 the same show just with different people or was it like Forbidden Broadway, where there was a new edition?
DR Michael Shayne, I'm not sure I understood your question, but the Elizabeth Allen of DO I HEAR A WALTZ did play Paul Lynde's wife on his first TV series.
I'm back from a somewhat distressing casting session. I must say, I am sometimes appalled by how not so good many actors are. This character is so on the page that all you have to do is read the dialogue and you'll pretty much at least have the basics of it. But, we had some actors who put so much "acting" on top of it, and acting that was not suited to the character, that we all just sat there with our mouths open. I didn't see anyone who I would even call back. So, we may have to have another session.
Has Ann caught up yet?
Here is my post to avoid any and all unseemly slappage. I am wearing my really cool new Cherry Coke T-shirt. I can't believe I didn't already have one of these.
Some of us live in land without Cherry Coke.
It was 2 for 1 maragritas so I'm floating around the apartment

Yes, but you're close to Toyland.
And isn't Margeurite in Germany known as Faust elsewhere?
;)
Jimmy Buffet country calling.
Has DRAnn ever told us what her new job is? Did I miss it? DRJed, when is your interview?
My least favorite fruits are FIGS... <SNIP>
Maragritas?????
Too many of those Mexican "daisies" I guess, DR Larry! LOL!
Marguerites in French!
And one for Mahler! :D

... where they only drink Shirley Temples!
td's favourite drink has to be... Shirley Bassey! :o
No one did as far as I remember. But isn't that what they did with the Grease and Wonderful Town for Brook Shields?
Yup. They just recorded her vocal tracks and the rest of the CD was from the original release/cast. Kiss of the Spider Woman and the Pearl Bailey Hello, Dolly! were entirely new recordings.With the Pearl Bailey HELLO DOLLY!, the entire cast was replaced by an all-black cast; it wasn't a case of bringing in a new star. When I saw Ginger Rogers do HELLO DOLLY!, some original cast members like Sondra Lee were still in it. I have no idea why BMG did a whole new cast with Vanessa Williams; perhaps it was contractual?
Touche, DRFrancois!
DR Sandra loves that expression!
Here is more about Ann's place of employment courtesy of the Web site.

It used to be called Auburn Christian Action Program (ACAP) Daycare Association but the name was changed to ACAP Child and Family Services.

Actually BMG did not record VW's Kiss. Her own record label did and they also recorded her St, Lousis Woman that was part of a Encore's season. (Usually DRG records them)
I'm back from work, but my feet are so tired I can't type.
