It will be interesting to see who wins that Tony. Last year's "buzz" was all about Donna Murphy and Tonya Pinkins, with Kristen Chenoweth considered a strong third contender.

TOTD. The books by Tom Sharpe are very funnny. "Wilt" and "Blot On The Landscape" have been filmed.

So sad....to be all alone in this world.....

Arms and the Man is one of my favorite Shaw plays!

Back from Grant's, who was very pleased with the mixes thus far.

If buzz means anything here in NY, Victoria Clark will win for Light in the Piazza, no doubt in my mind. Miss Rene Scott is hilarious and wonderful and Dilly does a dilly of a job. Sutton Foster is her usual excellent self and I talked about Applegate a few weeks ago, but when you put them up against Clark, I think she will win. It's a great performance. I'm not crazy about the show. The book is the main problem for me, but there are scenes and music that I find glorious. The overture is beautiful and Clark's solo moments are magnificent.

Thanks for the input, Ben. I agree that the book has some issues (two years ago, anyway), but I'm generally a fan of Guettel's music. Kelli O'Hara is playing the daughter now, correct? (She was the Italian sister-in-law in the Seattle production) I wonder if her delivery of "Clara's Tirade" is as powerful as Celia Keenan-Bolger's was.

JRand54, Trust me, if you've seen some of the form I've seen, you don't want to go near the content. And usually someone who has sloppy form also has sloppy content.

I don't believe in being anal about form; but it has to fall somewhere within in the respectible limits of legibility and readability. And neatness counts.

Hi all,
I've been home with a nasty cold the last day and a half, feeling better now, just in time for the final TAR!!! I'm cheering for anyone but Romber.

bk · « **Reply #129 on:** May 10, 2005, 06:00:03 PM »

I have beautiful form. I get whistled at quite often, especially in my new duds. Wait'll you get a load of my Armani tuxedo, baby. I also got one more pair of pants and one more summery shirt.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #130 on:** May 10, 2005, 06:02:34 PM »

DAMN! We're in a tornado watch....I'll be really mad if they keep interrupting TAR for a stupid storm!

Which reminds me, last Friday night, my brother was nearly struck by lightning. It hit near his car, blinding him for a short time and knocking the wind out if him. He was in the middle of nowhere (well, ok, most of Iowa is in the middle of nowhere) so there were no other cars around and he was able to stop and recover without incident. Pretty scary

Comp and Finesse....isn't that a law firm....with Dewey Cheatem & Howe?

Ah yes, DR CP, I do agree that there must be form. I read submitted scripts each year for an Indiana playwright's festival - and yes, some people are unaware that neatness does count. And so do spelling and punctuation and grammar.

Be careful MR BK you are going to end up on the Armani Wells Preferred Customer list!

Have you sung "All I Need Is the Girl" yet?

DR Jane, commented a few days ago how she was not impressed any more with NUMB3RS. I have still been watching, but the fact that their guilty people are becoming too predictable is a real turn off.

Last week’s episode. I really liked the week before. I’m still looking forward to the next episode. The script was weak and one of the main characters I happen to like was missing. It also centered too much, without much of a plot, on the younger brother. It was as if he was given lines that should have gone to Rob Morrow whom I prefer.

Sorry, that was more than you probably wanted to know.

I have gotten hooked on the lead in show....I really like NCIS....the cast is a lot of fun, the stories are okay. Any show with David McCallum is okay in my book.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #139 on:** May 10, 2005, 06:21:39 PM »

I have troucle with all the crime shows. They take themselves so seriously. It's really pretty far from reality, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but dealing with it all day, it's not really my cup of tea at night.

Although I must say they are leading to more not guilty verdicts. People expect that the police can really solve all crimes through the crime scene investigators, so when there isn't any DNA, or other forensic evidence, (As in the majority of the cases that go to trial) the jury is more likely to think the cops didn't do their work and it goes to our benefit. Pretty fascinating actually.

I forgot about the Peter Gether's books! I was certainly laughing out loud to those first two!!! The third book, of course, was not funny....but very quiet and sad.

I would agree if I could find the third book to read. I should have ordered it and now I'm not sure I can read it, or maybe I should.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #141 on:** May 10, 2005, 06:26:38 PM »

LOL...DR CillaLiz....NCIS could make NO claim to any reality. But I would rather watch it than American Yodel.

I agree completely, but you'd be amazed what people believe!!!

Jennifer thank you for the spoiler alert on MEDIUM, and Matt H for the warning regarding the ending. Ron I didn’t read your response. This show is on too late for us so we wait until the following night to watch. I wish I could join in on the discussion-wait, I can. I agree with you Ron regarding the bedroom scenes and I think Jake Weber does a wonderful job of playing her husband. It is nice he has a central role in the show and isn’t kept on a back burner.

Jane · « **Reply #144 on:** May 10, 2005, 06:36:24 PM »

Jed continued good job vibes!!

Cillaliz feel better soon and boy that is scary. I’m glad your brother is okay.

Sandra · « **Reply #145 on:** May 10, 2005, 06:40:42 PM »

Six pages down. That means I'm halfway through. Argh!! If this paper wasn't so boring I might be able to stay awake while writing it. I hope my teacher suffers reading it as much as I am suffering writing it. I'm not bitter. Really.

Jane · « **Reply #146 on:** May 10, 2005, 06:51:27 PM »

I remember books that were funny, a number having been named today, yet there is only one book I remember as delightfully funny throughout. When I think of INSIDE, OUTSIDE by Herman Wouk I recall laughing very loudly. Since I carried the rather large book everywhere with me and read while the boys were taking swimming, or whatever after school classes, I also remember my laughter attracting a good amount of attention.

Jane · « **Reply #147 on:** May 10, 2005, 06:53:10 PM »

Sandra I hope you have more interesting classes next term. If you do will you still keep us as entertained with your struggles?

Arms and the Man
Not bad. The play itself is brilliant, and not much was done to screw it up. Some actors were better than others. Now we did have a female as the Swiss mercenary, so that was a little odd, but she was quite good when not flubbing a line here or there. There was one guy really hamming it up who was a bit o'er the top at times, but he brought life to the proceedings.
