I think DR JANE was once in the audience of the SHINDIG show.....I think....I may not be remembering that correctly.

That was DR Cilla.

Maybe she was a Shindig dancer, DR JRand. As cute as she was (and still is), she should have been!

You are so sweet

Well this sounds pretty cool...Kim Criswell Will Be Ethel Merman in Readings of Merman's Apprentice!

Quote

"Picture it: 1970," press notes state. "The Golden Age of Musical Theatre is drawing to an end. But twelve-year-old Muriel Plakenstein doesn't know that. So she runs away from home to become a Broadway star, and meets the Queen of Broadway Ethel Merman, who takes her to a Hello, Dolly! rehearsal where they sing together. When legendary producer David Merrick hears the kid, he decides to star Muriel in the first all-child cast of Dolly! Naturally, Merman takes her under wing to teach her the ropes of being a star...making little Muriel Plakenstein Merman's Apprentice."

I love Kim Criswell!

Did a LOT of futzing and finessing the previous day's writing, then wrote a paragraph or two of new stuff. Then I went and had a patty melt and a small thing of onion rings, then picked up no packages. Then I came home and wrote a little over five pages - it took me a while to figure out exactly what sequence I should do, but I got it and it did what I needed it to do - I'm about to finish a chapter, and I'll definitely do another three or four pages.

Matthew - That sounds wonderful, and I love that show.

Music-directing and directing at the same time could be interesting. (Is it more usual than I'd thought for people to do both?)

The effects of little to no sleep last night are now creeping up on me. I'll be in bed very soon, and I will hopefully sleep very well.

I did that for Sunset Blvd out of necessity and I wouldn't recommend it for that big of a show. However, for this show, I think it will work. I have a vision of how the show should look and sound, it should be great. I'll have an assistant with me, also. I love this show and sometimes that's all it takes to make it great. The other possibility was I was going to be in it (as the Villain - who most of the time played the piano), and be the MD, but I remember that all of the actors played the piano at one time, and that would be really hard to cast it that way.

Good luck. I took a 15 minute nap so I could get up to make dinner.

You know, as many times as I go to LA, it is a wonder that I have not gotten around to being in the live audience of some TV show or other. I should rectify that sometime.

I wish that I could go on a bike ride.

Shockingly last week I saw at least 4 bikes parked at the train station. Not sure exactly how these people are biking home. Considering the roads are slippery and the sidewalks are not even clear. Are they driving down the middle of the road? Add that the temps are frigid and it makes no sense to me (except that they obviously don't want to have to walk home in the cold).

Did they have snow tires on their bikes? Do you spell tire or tyre?

Tire.

I don't think that there is such a thing as snow tires here for books. I am pretty sure they were just riding their regular bikes. Crazy!
