I always hoped that Encores! would produce Too Many Girls, since I always wanted to hear the original orchestrations.  I suppose the closest we'll ever come to that is the movie version.  I saw an Equity Library Theatre production of the show with pianos and some over-wrought, out of period vocal arrangements in the 1980s, but I suspect a wonderful song like "Spic 'n' Spanish" is far too problematic for today's PC mindset.

Yesterday, the strangest thing I've ever encountered with the NYC Animal Care Centers occurred.  Adorable  Brooklyn, a volunteer favorite who's been passed by for adoptions three months now, was scheduled to be killed. Dogs on the kill list have around 40 hours to be adopted or fostered before the doors close and the decisions to terminate now or postpone for another 40 hours begins.  After noon yesterday, Brooklyn was still not adopted and the euthanasia command was issued around 4:00, at which time at least three potential adopters were banging on the ACC doors to take her/  Where the hell were they the past two days?

At any rate, the ACC stopped the euthanasia order, and Brooklyn was reprieved at the last minute!  She's now scheduled to die tomorrow after noon.  I hope one of those three people save her today.  She's cat-friendly, and I would love to adopt her, but she's too large for me and my space.

This is my friend Evelyn's video:

I think I stacked the cards myself.  I knew that the song was low in my voice, but probably should've picked my other song (Sondheim's "Love Is In the Air"), but the karaoke version that I found was too slow, so I thought that that might not be as good.  Oh, well.

I'd read (was told?) that just "liking" them doesn't do much.  You should also post a message, even if it's a smilie, to have it mean something to FB's algorithms.

Yeah, you're probably right about posting being of much better help.

Speaking of FB, they could just about drop the concept of each person having a "feed", and very little would be lost. Mine's been working poorly or not at all for the past few days again.

DR George, auditions for a musical with no accompanist?  That's ridiculous.

It's beyond belief. Never heard of such a thing. It's normally forbidden to sing a cappella or with anything OTHER than the pye-ano player.

It was advertised that they weren't going to provide an accompanist, just a piano, so it wasn't like it was a last minute thing. :P

Yes DR ELMORE I think he will work out....

Congrats to DR GEORGE on his callbacks.

However, I, too, have never heard of musical auditions without an accompanist.....and I do shows in a barn in the middle of a cornfield in Indiana.....

Thanks, Jrand!

DR CHAS SMITH - I had to grab the leads when I could get them....during a rehearsal....so Donkey was wearing his shirt from last season....and I needed the photo to make the deadline for a weekly paper who always needs the story/photo early and our costumes are not arriving until the end of the week..

So....there ya are!

Approved!  :)

I agree...but then, it's their theater company (they even have their own building!), so they can do what they want. ::)

Well, then, they will always be amateurs in my book.  Tell them to grow up.  Wasn't the MD for Mama Mia there?

No matter how many times I say "No" to Stella, in any language I can think of, she ignores me.  She's as bad as Annabelle.

And I'm sure that Annabelle is thinking, "I have taught her well." :))

For some reason, that reminds me of a time when New York City had a nudity ban so the female dancers had to wear something on top - so they changed the signs from TOPLESS DANCERS to STOPLESS DANCERS.

After a busy day of hairdresser and errands, I called my insurance company with what I thought would be a ten-minute question. Forty-five minutes!! This woman was sooo sllooooowww! Then she wanted to know if LA is on the ocean and do I live near the ocean. And what's the weather like today? I think they're told to be friendly and chatty, but I could do without it. The reps there are usually very good--but not this one! Ugh!

About Come From Away, I probably posted this before, but the original music director for the pre-Broadway Seattle production was a guy from Olympia named Ian.  I've known him since he was in elementary school and did children's theater with the late Kids At Play summer program!

I remember seeing You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown that he directed AND music directed AND played the piano for when he was in eighth grade!  He had talent galore even at that age!  After college (I don't know where), he eventually became the resident music director at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre!

Before Come From Away, he was the music director in Seattle and on Broadway for A Christmas Story.

Thanks for posting the photos, George.

My pleasure.  Concessions was kind of a madhouse, but it turns out (and I forgot) that there's no intermission for Menopause: The Musical, so after we cleaned up, we were done.

I'm now sitting in the lobby, listening to the show through the speakers, posting and waiting for the show to end.  I'm sticking around because I'm driving Margo home.  I'll usher for it tomorrow, so I'll see it then. :)

Thanks for posting the photos, George.

Yes, thank you.  In my mind they were black.

That explains the photos far earlier than I expected.

74%!  I might be persuaded to put up some videos from the Kritzerland show if we were to get to 75% - oh, yes, I just might be persuaded.

Does anyone have an opinion on which show I should see in London?
Mama Mia
The Book Of Mormon
Come From Away
Heartbeat Of Home-Riverdance
Only Fools And Horses The Musical
Tina - The Tina Turner Musical


My first choice would certainly be COME FROM AWAY, especially after reading Larry’s comment about the London company.

Hi, Tom.

However, you have a good point about not needing to hear the dialogue with HEARTBEAT OF HOME.  IT LOOKS FANTASTIC!
Title: Re: AN INCREDIBLE LAUNCH TO THE CREATURE INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN
Post by: TCB on August 07, 2019, 11:31:26 PM
Personally, I would probably skip HEARTBEAT OF HOME, because I can only take so much dancing before I tune out.

Thanks, Tom.  But I don't think I did better than I thought...I think I just got the sympathy callback. ;)

78% and we have videos.  Perhaps I'll put up more if we have the same kind of day tomorrow because if we do have the same kind of day we'd actually reach our goal - wouldn't that be amazing?
