Well, 15 - Only two were asked to come back to dance and sing for the director.


Were they auditioning for Tulsa (the character, not the city)?

There are more photos over at BroadwayWorld. com.  -Which happen to include recent pics of Christopher Sieber... I had heard he had put on some weight over in London while doing Spamalot, but... Then I ran into him on the street a couple weeks ago...  :-\ However, it does look like he's lost some weight.  -I guess he couldn't used his NYSC membership in London.


*I'm not trying to sound catty - even thought I know I am.  I've just known Chris and his partner, Kevin, for a couple of years, and it was just a surprise to see Chris out of shape as it were.  They were always amazingly picky whenever we would head out for dinner.

Maybe he's "nesting." ::)

And I think his last name is "Winger" instead of Wanger.

So, I finally announce the book and no one has boo to say?  Boo.




What is there to say???  We haven't had a chance to read it, we have to wait months and months to get our grubby hands on it, I have already wet myself three times, what is there to really say?

I remember FRESNO.  It wasn't very funny.  GRAND was a much better take on the DALLAS/DYNASTY genre.

Thank you very much.  GRAND starring Lakewood Playhouse's very own Pamela Reed.

Good Afternoon!


She also showed me a great stretch for my lower back too.


Oh, I am sure you are already good at those stretches.

Somehow, I'm thinking there's very little resistance being offered up.

Resistance is futile.  And it just runs out the clock, and runs up the bill.

Jane, if you saw ANNIE in the Spring of 1979, chances are that you saw Sarah Jessica Parker in the role.


Thanks.  That would not have been my guess.  l had saved something from the show at the time which was lost, or tossed, during one of our multiple moves.

Thanks for the heads up about the photos, Jose.  Any time I can see Major Dodge is a good day for me.

I'm on "hold" while Michael tracks the clothing mail-order that I sent back 3 weeks ago tomorrow.  He said the company had received word that the items were on their way back to them.  Wonder where they are?

For the past month or so, I have been receiving copies of the magazines OUT, THE ADVOCATE, and INSTINCT.  However, I don't remember ever ordering any of them.  I know I would never intentionally order THE ADVOCATE.  I don't care for the magazine.

Back from a very long rehearsal with our pianist.  I had to get everything perfect today so we could come out with a piano track CD to rehearse with.  The big job was rewriting about sixty percent of the parody lyric my friend Kirby wrote - it was too unwieldy, and in rehearsing it, it was just too unfocused, so I made one big cut (it's to the tune of Putting It Together, but he'd used the Streisand version as his model, and it has that awful slow part in the middle - that's what I cut today).  Joan didn't like a few of the lyrics, so those were the first I fixed, then I made things very specific, which required redoing whole sections (the parody lyric has to do with Joan's film and TV looping career - "Putting In The Voices") - now it really works like gangbusters and should be very funny.

I was going to post the cover of the book, but I have an "early" version and we changed the placement of one line of type - I'll ask Grant to send me the latest version.

What's the deal with libraries and young person books?  Can you have curse words?  As most of you know, the Kritzer books have none, but it was impossible to write a book centering on high school kids without using any curse words.  But, there aren't many - just about four sprinkled throughout.
