MDS: Is that an actual CD of a musical called "Poseidon An Upside Down Musical"? Do you have it? How is it?

I believe it is. But I do not have it. But it can be bought at the website of the company who did the show.

OK I did. May I ask what is the so special about the posting? Is it you who placed the item for auction?

It's just funny. At least I thought it was.

François, danngit, I read a clip in the Mtl Gazette today about the Francophone Chicago's opening at the Casino de Paris in February 2004 and I meant to link to it here for you.

You beat me to it

Unfortunatly the article isn't online (double dang) but I found one from canoë from August

I've been home all day and finally am posting.

That was a wonderful tribute to Dorothy Loudon, Bruce. I always feel sad that people can’t read things like that when they’re alive. Rarely have I read a tribute (other than the requisite obituary) that felt forced or insincere and yours, most certainly, is neither of those.

I have most of the Dorothy Loudon recordings that Michael Shayne posted pictures of. I don’t have Lolita, My Love (I would guess that not many people do) and I only have her solo album “Broadway Baby” (which I love). Her version of "Pack Up Your Sins and Go to the Devil in Hades" is my absolute favorite version of this song. Okay, I've only heard it done by a couple of other people, but still I love hers more.

DR Jennifer, this is one race I know I'll lose since I'll be away for 2 1/2 days. On Tuesday afternoon I go to Cleveland for business and I don't have a laptop and I won't be able to surf at our Cleveland office. I'll be making a presentation all day Wednesday (from 9:30 to 3) and in the morning on Thursday. I'll be back in NYC Thursday evening. The way people are posting, I'll probably fall off the Top Ten posters. I'll have to play catch-up when I get back.

DR Michael, the Poseidon An Upside Down Musical was done this year as part of the Fringe Festival in NYC. I didn't get to see it. It was a sellout and tickets were very hard to get. It got decent reviews. Seems like a late night, hole-in-the-wall theatre kind of thing. It didn't rise above the pack like Urinetown did so I don't think anything will happen with it for a while.

I'm about to listen to a 1989 English cast recording of Dames at Sea. Don't recognize any of the names. Brian Cant, Josephine Blank, Sandra Dickinson, Paul Grunert, Tina Doyle, Paul Robinson, Julie Faye, Paul Danbury. It's on TER and the show was done at Devonshire Park Theatre in Eastbourne

Nope, I guess not.

DR Emily,

Thinks for the lank, errr, I mean, thanks for the link!
As they say in that article, i do hope they can last two months here!
Something to look forward to! Right now we have Europop style of musicals -- Demoiselles de Rochefort, Gone With The Wind and the canadian Elvis Show-- and none are my "cup of tea"!

I was hankerin' for Dorothy Loudon's "Fifty Percent," so , I put the dvd in of THE LEADING LADIES. Since putting it in, I've watched Dottie numerous times, but, I just can't get enough of Debra Monk doing "Everybody's Girl." Or. . .Andrea McArdle's soft, yet effective pairing of "Look for the Silver Lining" and "Tomorrow."

I have a question about Dorothy's "Fifty Percent" performance in THE LEADING LADIES. At the end of the song, she makes a gesture with her arms that, at first glance, looks like an "I did a great job" gesture, but the more times I watched it seemed like an "I overcame great obstacles in my life to even be able to perform this song at all" gesture. First of all, does my long and unseemly sentence make sense and secondly, what do those of you who've seen it feel about that? Does anyone else feel that way? I had never known that she was battling cancer or had even been sick.

This cast is SO disappointing!!

Josephine Blake is in the OLC of SWEET CHARITY and has a terrific voice, but here sounds just plain bad as almost everybody else... Of course, it's quite many years after for Josephine... (simply called Jo! Oh a Silk Stockings ref')

I wish they would put the OLC on cd: Sheila White was great. She played the same part in the French adaptation in Paris some time after! She's Nancy's friend in the film version of OLIVER!

How about these theaters in NYC and LA that are showing the first two LOTR films and then premiering RETURN OF THE KING afterward? This is like 9 hours of filmwatching, I'm assuming with lunch/dinner break in between.

As grand as I think the films have been (and there is no need to think the final installment won't be equally wonderful), I don't think I could do this.

Only once have I seen three movies (in a movie theater) in one day and it was a butt (and bladder) buster...however, for the three "Lord of the Rings" movies, I would attempt to see them all in one day in a movie theater. I'd probably have to take a day of vacation from work and go on a weekday, but attempt it, I would.

François · « **Reply #232 on:** November 16, 2003, 05:49:57 PM »

DR George,
I believe it was you yesterday who mentioned UNCONDITIONAL LOVE...

Is it any good?

It only played for one week in the middle of August here, but I read a nice (French) review of it saying it was quite funny...

I know there's a cameo by Dame Julie which is supposed to be funny if not hilarious!

The film, btw, was done quite a few years back!

François · « **Reply #233 on:** November 16, 2003, 05:54:45 PM »

Oh my God!
I mean, oh my Ron dude!!

I've gotten a karma attack!
It's too much! it's an overdose!
I'm gonna get addicted to that!

Merci Karma fairies!
This is Karmavellous!

You're right François, The English Dames at Sea is disappointing. It's missing something besides the fact that it doesn't sound that good technically. I only know the OBC w/Bernadette and the rest so I picked this up cheap in a used CD store. Well, I'll just add it to the CDs that I bought, listened to once and then it sits on the shelf. Maybe I'll even sell it back to Academy (the place I bought it).

When I get back from Cleveland, I'm going to go to Footlight and see if they have Dorothy Loudon's Blue Angel album. I'll also look for Lolita, My Love
