DR FJL -

Loved the Syliva Miles story.  I don't care if it isn't true!

JRand, you and MBarnum should visit Atlanta over Labor Day. Then you could go to our "Drive-Invasion"!

Okay, let's have more bad directorial touches in musical plays.  Let us imagine a director/choreographer with a "vision" and let's imagine what they would do to some classic musicals and  musical numbers - sort of a what if.

A Little Night Music, re-imagined as a slapstick comedy.

The Liebeslieders all all equipped with whoopie cushions, and use them - at the most devastating of moments.

Each scene ends with Desiree getting a pie in the punim.

The duet for Anne and Charlotte becomes Every Day a Little Laugh.

The Miller's Son becomes The Farmer's Daughter.

And as for Send in the Clowns...well, let's just say this: it involves a teeny car and a lot of little red noses...

Good Afternoon!

Back from my meeting that took place in Cleveland.  Participating by phone is less-than-satisfactory, but there was NO WAY I'd commit to driving 4 hours each way for a 90-minute meeting with the threat of wintery weather still around.

A Miss Mazeppa who escaped from ROCKY HORROR--that's different.

Fortunately, I found this clip from Avenue Jew to cleanse my palate.  It's silly, but funny.

OMG, I just finished watching this. I had to stifle myself because I'm at work but if I was at home I would have been ROTFLMAO!!!

TOD-

Like some others here, I neither drink, nor drink coffee or tea.

That's me, too.  I practically live on diet Pepsi. :) I know the official drink of HHW is diet Coke (and I have no trouble ordering it at restaurants), but DP is my drink of choice.  I do not like regular colas at all. :P And you can't pay me enough to drink regular Coke.  Well...you can, but it would have to be a lot more than it's really worth. ::)

The Odd Couple directed by Arthur Laurents and treated as a treatise on being in the closet and the right for gays to marry.

I know, I know, you said musicals, but this works too (at least for me).

The first act of The Apple Tree produced by Focus on the Family and directed by James Dobson. All musical numbers must conform to the Book of Genesis or they are re-written or cut out of the show.

I was looking at the tours through Portland this summer and LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA will be here...I wonder if it would be entertaining to a 5 year old who loves dancing?


Also, CHICAGO is coming through once again. I saw it last year when it featured Tom Wopat...this year it seems to feature Tony Hadley who was the lead singer of my favorite 1980s pop group SPANDAU BALLET...if indeed he will be in it I may have to see it again.

From the sad but true department...

...Or a production of Godspell and/or Jesus Christ Superstar being done at Catholic high school... Consequently, the Resurrection is added as an Epilogue to both pieces.

Piazza has almost next to no dancing, so... And it's also pretty heady and adult subject matter too.  So, I'd suggest that you see it - and the touring cast is quite wonderful - but it's most definitely not appropriate for a five-year old, whether or not she loves dancing.

Thanks Jose, I wasn't quite sure.

And looking at Tony Hadley's website I see he is doing the England tour of CHICAGO...so the CHICAGO website seems to be a bit confusing on who is playing who and where.

There are some 5-year old boys that love dancing, too.   :)

For the Follies/In My Life fiasco:

And a catwalk above the proceedings where the ghosts of Florenz Ziegfeld, George White and Earl Carroll look down on the show and make suggestions for improvement.
