THE PRODUCERS deserved every Tony it won! I haven't had so much fun at a show in years. It's a musical COMEDY for cripe's sake, and I felt it delivered in every department.

Wonder if Mr. Florence realizes that his comments provoked some lively discussion here at HHW! I thought he copped out by not specifying which Tony's he thought it deserved and which ones not. The whole review seemed a little smug to me. We're planning to have a delightful time Sunday.

In honor of page 5, one of my favorite lines from The Producers:

"Now Ula dance!"

Actually, my FAVORITE line is "Now Ula belt," which she does...

Just heard from Mr. Geissman - he and Vinnie completed their work earlier, and the horns are indeed set to record tomorrow morning at ten - I shall be attending, unless the room is too cold, in which case I shall leave the premises, as I must protect the voice box. But, as long as those vibes and xylophones keep a'coming this entire weekend and Monday and Tuesday, then all should be well. I have been very quiet today, only taking one necessary phone call, and singing one of Mr. Haines' songs in a low key - it seemed to be okay.

CD update: I am listening again in the car to the BBC production of JUBILEE that elmore sent me and was himself a crucial part of the creative team. DEE-LIGHTFUL!!!

I'm almost done with this paper. Yay!

And then I have to write my Rhetoric paper over the weekend.

And then my IAAAAWWOTD paper.

A twelve page paper in nine days, five of which are during final exams. Am I the only one who thinks that isn't fair?

Anyway, leg-fracturing vibes for the Vixter. Happy Birthday! *Throwing confetti* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More leg-fracturing vibes for Anthony. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Voice vibes for BK. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HAPPY BIRTH OPENINGS!

TO ONE AND ALL

(I guess there are some greetings that you can't condense)

Jrand, you played Mr. Darling, but not Captain Hook?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #128 on:** April 29, 2005, 05:41:28 PM »

Perhaps Mrs Darling played Captain Hook in that production.
Mr Darling may have been out tinkling bells.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #129 on:** April 29, 2005, 06:29:57 PM »

Well in this particular production....Mr and Mrs Darling were played by ADULTS and all other parts were played by children.

So am I, and last week's parallel world scenario (I guess that's what is going on) was sensational; can't wait to see the conclusion tonight.

At least you and George could watch the series. It was very annoying we didn't even get the station. We would have enjoyed the last fcouple of shows at least.

Jane · « **Reply #131 on:** April 29, 2005, 06:40:08 PM »

Ben, good show vibes to Anthony!!

Vixmom-hope the Vixter had a happy birthday and a great show!

Matt H we watched EYES last night-yep, it was a good episode. Tim Daley’s deliveries make me laugh. He has some great one liners and expressions to go with them.

SWW I think you will be finding uncooked rice for a long time.

Jane · « **Reply #132 on:** April 29, 2005, 06:49:45 PM »

Matthew welcome back. I enjoyed reading your journal.

WFO, it made me happy to read about Joe’s special day and of the Good Witch of the North.

Bruce GOOD RECORDING VIBES!

Jane · « **Reply #133 on:** April 29, 2005, 07:23:32 PM »

CD: WICKED
TIVO: THE LITTLE GIANT
DVD: JEEVES AND WOOSTER, season 1, disc 1.

Off to watch Jeeves.

And now - Dino at the piano.

We started out so well today, and now it's crawled to a complete standstill in the last couple of hours. Most unseemly.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #135 on:** April 29, 2005, 08:19:26 PM »

Where is everybody?

Oh that was a Twilight Zone episode with MR BK's neighbor, Earl Holliman.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #136 on:** April 29, 2005, 08:22:28 PM »

DR ELMORE - i enjoyed REEFER MADNESS - obviously done by people who originated the material onstge and knew what they wanted. Everyone was on the same page and doing the same movie. It was a lot of fun. I couldn't understand ALL the lyrics, but I think if I watch it a couple of more times, I will catch most of them.

ONLY ONE THING BOTHERED ME: a big-band sound and referenced dance routine at the Five And Dime taking place in 1936! Most of the choreography was a few years out of place.

Neve Campbell - good dancer, not even challenged by the steps, I like her a lot.....ever since I saw THE COMPANY.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #137 on:** April 29, 2005, 08:23:20 PM »

Oh the camera work was that frenetic CHICAGO-MTV style, but it was clever and fit the material.

Matt H. · « **Reply #138 on:** April 29, 2005, 08:42:00 PM »

Calamity Jane's DEADWOOD word: "co**su**er."

I must hastily add that she is not the only character on the show who utters that particular epithet, but her delivery of it is particularly inimitable.

Matt H. · « **Reply #139 on:** April 29, 2005, 08:45:56 PM »

Really enjoyed LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME today. No, it's not super sharp, but I didn't notice any print damage, and the EastmanColor looks about as good as it's possible to look. Sound was rechanneled as Dolby Digital 5.1, and it's just fine.

I really like Doris' look in this movie. Her hair is short in the back but puffy on top, very becoming on her. She's not wearing ten pounds of pancake makeup to hide her freckles as she does in her Warners films, so her look is more natural, too, and the clothes fit her beautifully in this. Helen Rose doesn't get much press, but she designed wonderful clothes for MGM stars for quite a few years.

And Cagney is never anything less than galvanizing. Talk about a one-of-a-kind actor.

It had a great surprise ending tonight, too. Sorry you missed it. There are three original episodes left.

Watching The Americanization of Emily.

He has a suavity that is very appealing. I can't believe this wonderful show is dying on the vine.

I loved that his best friend made a date with the FBI agent. I also liked that Harlan now knows who the mole in the office is.

I have BILLY ROSE'S JUMBO to look forward to tomorrow. I read a review elsewhere that said the DVD looked stunning. Looking forward to seeing that.

bk · « **Reply #144 on:** April 29, 2005, 09:08:26 PM »

It is stunning, as I said it was weeks ago. Really fun movie until the last fifteen minutes.

9:10 on a Friday night and nobody here but us chickens.

Matt H. · « **Reply #145 on:** April 29, 2005, 09:16:16 PM »

I popped back in to get the most recent messages, but it is now my time for bed on the East Coast.

Maybe Jose will drop by later, and I'm sure the West Coast has a couple of hours to post some interesting stuff.

Good night!

TOTD. I am now listening to the London cast recording of "Crazy For You".. wonderful sound.
Ealier I was listening to Chubby Checker and Freddy Cannon.

DVD: Tonight might be "What's Up Doc?

bk · « **Reply #147 on:** April 29, 2005, 10:40:25 PM »

This is just a wee bit shocking, this lack of traffic, don't you think?

What's more shocking is that after having gone to the doctor on Monday and Thursday, after having taken it easy vocally all week, especially the last two days, is that Ye Olde Voice Box is still bugging me and perfectly up to snuff. I don't get it, really, other than to say that I am creating the problem and the drama and I think that sucks potatoes, frankly. I'm trying to get this junk out of my head - I cannot possibly have any problems with the voice box by now. The doctor said I'd be fine, I've had two shots to insure I'd be fine, I've had a lot of EmergenC, I've been quiet, and I'm sick of the whole thing. Enough is enough, as my sisters Barbra S. and Donna M. said.

Good Evening!

WHEW! I've been a-boxing things up and a-packing things up for the past couple of hours. I ended up getting a little late start since I ended up meeting Steve for lunch - BBQ - and then a trips to Target and Lowe's for some supplies. But once I made it back here...

Whew!!!!

I just have to box the "junk". I almost finished it tonight, but my mind started to malfunction. "Oh, OK, so I'll just make separate boxes for the rest of the stuff I have left... And then I'll categorize it... But then maybe I should put all of the things I know I'm going to throw out in one box, and then the stuff I know I won't need to look at for the next couple of years in another box, and then the green things in here, the blue in there, and...@%$#^@%$#@^%" It was basically a meltdown. But I did muster enough strength up to straighten up the mess I had made in the living room and kitchen. All better now.

I am still going to take tomorrow off - at least the morning and afternoon. And then tomorrow night, Steve and I may be heading to a local production of SEUSSICAL. Or not. We shall see.

Well, let me go back at read the rest of today's posts... I just wanted to post while I was still cognizant. More or less...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #149 on:** April 29, 2005, 10:54:52 PM »

I'm back...

I guess it was/is a slow news day here at HHW...

But now...
