Greetings from the airport. We will be boarding very soon.
DR CILLA LIZ - whew! Shocking!! Thanks for the link to the story with the details!CillaLiz, that was a horrific story. I think I'd prefer to sleep through it.
DR JMK - stitch me one of them samplers, please.

We watched LOVE NEVER DIES last night, the sequel to PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.
We liked some of the songs, the performers were good and the staging spectacular.
What we didn't like was the fact that this was a sequel, because the book "betrayed" all of the characters that had been established in the first play. A sequel should be a continuation of the previous story, not a rethinking of it.
Has anybody else seen this?

I believe it's better called a continuation of the story. Character's/People can change 10 years on and take on different characterizations. I'm not trying to defend the material, just shedding a different light. The story is weak, but for what it is, I thought it the music was good and the staging was cool.
Heard not seen DR DRUXY...... I didn't think I would like it....I'm with you, though I did like a couple of the melodies on the cast recording. Will watch when the library gets it.

Sandra wasn't eating a crawdad, was she? Or is she a Pescetarian (they don't eat meat or poultry but do eat fish, eggs, veggie cheese & milk-based products).

I agree that people can change over ten years, but all of them so radically?
And the word of the day is: REDOUND!
For better or worse, I haven't had any interest in LOVE NEVER DIES.

Well, there's a whole cottage industry of sequels to "Pride and Prejudice" and every Austen novel out there. I, too, wish people would leave the continuations of stories to people's imaginations in most cases. That said, I love some sequels, especially in actions movies like "Road Warrior" and "Terminator."For better or worse, I haven't had any interest in LOVE NEVER DIES.
That's two of us. I've never understood making the monstrous horror of the murderous Phantom into a tragic hero, either. Sure wasn't Gaston Leroux's intention. And, just like sequels to GONE WITH THE WIND, A DOLL'S HOUSE, frankly, my dear, who gives a damn?
I was just being floopy. I, too, love those quotes.Safe travels, BK! Wave when you fly over Arizona! (A DR Ginny reference)

I asked this question because Laura's quote at the end of her postings had Sandra asking about crawdads while eating a tostada and I wondered if the tostada contained crawdads?
P.S. Laura, I love your ever changing quotes.

Anthony is playing designer today. An older gentleman who lives in our building has enlisted his help to purchase and install new window shades. They are doing it in the late morning. I shall come home for lunch to an empty apartment.
Later, friends.

Loved Mr H talking about the Tony Awards.
DR GINNY I loved the HARVEY clip! DR TCB - retarded or not - I also turned down the role of Elwood....I just don't get it....however, the clip of Jim Parsons playing him....as a much younger man than usual, was very enjoyable....and it IS a funny play with the right cast.

Well we had excitement in the Box Office and Lobby at PCPH last night.
Our local Senior organization RSVP provides two ushers for each performance....they get complimentary tickets to the evening's performance - they take the tickets, tear them in half, keep one half, return the other....and also hand out programs. Last night we had a NEW lady, Nellie. It was her first time ushering, so I took her through the process. HOWEVER, her friend, Dorothy, who is an experienced usher decided NOT to show up...so Nellie was on her own.
We had TWO busloads of out of towners. One bus from the Masonic Home in Franklin, Indiana, had about 30 - and some of the people had been here before. The other bus was from Peoria, Illinois, and had about 57 people on it - making their first visit.
WELL - the Peoria group had paid for but not picked up their tickets.....they started pouring into our small lobby....and creating quite a bottleneck. I left the box office and asked who was in charge of handing out the tickets.....and a couple of the ladies just said: "We don't have our tickets yet."
Well - I figured there might have been a method to the madness, so I went out to the bus. There were a couple of people helping people out of the bus, so I approached them and asked: "Who is in charge of handing out the tickets." And a lady replied again: "We don't have our tickets yet...." So I said...."No, that's not what I asked. Who would hand out the tickets." Another lady stepped up and said; "Me....I would." So I handed her the tickets, thinking if they had their tickets before any more of them got into the lobby, it would be helpful.
I started to walk away when a tall man stopped me. He had on a badge that said Convention...something...and the name Leroy. "What is your name?" he asked. "I said 'Jack'", and put out my hand which he took. "No....your whole name...." And then he grabbed my name tag to read it. "I don't like the tone you took with her.....you are very rude. I know people and I will make sure they KNOW ABOUT YOU." I took my hand back like I was snake bit and walked away. It's a good thing for Leroy that I had the restraining spirit on me.
ANYWAY....I went back to the lobby where the lady was having difficulty handing out tickets, so I asked her if she wanted me to help and she said YES..... So I took several of them and asked the Peoria group to raise their hands if they needed tickets, and got them ALL passed out - and the people into the theatre in about six minutes.... OF course new usher Nellie was beside herself trying to keep up.....but she was a trouper.
I never saw Leroy again......but I had gone to the Box Office and got the ticket for the WORST seat in the house for him....if he came in the get one.....
Found out from President Michael....that he was with the organization that had asked for COMP tickets.....and a few other things...
ANYWAY....it has been my experience that people who "know people" never say they "know people".....I "know people" but I never say it....
END OF STORY....so far. I can't wait to read the letter someone sends or forwards to us.
Oh except that the bus driver and the lady in charge both said to me: " We've been with these people all day....NEVER AGAIN...."

Actually the book was called Squad Helps Dog Bite Victim (http://www.amazon.com/Squad-Helps-Victim-Other-Nations/dp/0385158289/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339696929&sr=8-1). Highly recommended by the likes of me.

As I look at the shows that year, most of them did not have a "leading actress" although Mary Beth Piel was nominated as best featured actress in a revival of The King and I (why featured, perhaps she was the one eligible and since they cancelled it that year they must have moved her to featured). Most of the musicals were ensemble pieces or shows with featured roles (Quilters, Big River, Grind).
Here is a news story from the 1985 AP ArchivesI liked elements of "Grind" and "Big River" both. Leilani Jones was one of the things I liked and was glad she got a Tony for her efforts.
Tony Nominees 1985 (http://www.apnewsarchive.com/1985/List-of-Nominees-for-1985-Tony-Awards-With-AM-Tonys-Bjt/id-9907271706132d6b3f69843a229ab061)
It says in the story that there was only 1 eligible nominee for Best Actress in a Musical that year so they decided not to give the award and "The nominating committee Monday declined to give nominations in the leading actor in a musical and choreography categories because they did not consider any of the performances or choreography outstanding or excellent."
Great story, JRand.

THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6p6BtMY6AI&sns=fb) is worth the 13 minutes of your time it takes to watch. And watch the whole thing, you should.
Anyone know the reason behind no Tony nominations for Best Actor and Best Actress in a musical in 1985? Even now they scrape the bottom to fill the category!!!

I was just questioning the rote category logic of why Dan Jenkins (as Huck) got nominated as a Supporting Actor when Huck is a leading character, not supporting.

I don't remember about that specifically but the 1995 Tonys had Sunset Blvd up against just one one other nominee, Smokey Joe's Cafe and there were only two nominees for Best Actress in a Musical, Ms. Close and Ms. Luker in Hal Prince's production of Show Boat.
I thought the categories were also determined by a performer's billing - but that might have come later.....
I looked and every year there has been a Tony for Best Musical.
You might be thinking of the ruckus raised when Contact won for Best Musical at the 2000 Tonys. Many people did not consider that a "Broadway Musical" and were upset that it won. The other nominees that year were James Joyce's The Dead, Swing and Michael John LaChiusa's Wild Party.

Congrats, Druxy!
My late friend, Michael, was the first actor I did the show SLEUTH with, back in 1975. That year the Committee wanted to honor both of us, but didn't want get in the habit of having ties in the voting (the winners' statues were expensive back then). So they gave me the Best Actor Award and gave Michael Best Supporting Actor. Until the day he died, alll you had to do was mention that decision to him, and he would blow-up all over again.
Congrats DR DRUXY......hopefully it will be during good weather!!!
A question about Best Actor vs. Best Suporting Actor in a musical. I read somewhere (right or wrong) that in order to be considered for the Best Actor category, you had to have a song in both acts. Any truth to that?It's all about billing. Name above the title or below. As a matter of fact, you don't have to sing.

Pineapple sausage, I bought some pineapple sausage today
As I went about my shopping with my list down Costco way
Pineapple sausage, I love you, you’re the sweetest thing I’ve seen
I’ll eat you up for dinner and you’ll end up in my spleen.
I saw a girl down the Costco aisle
With a frying pan and a great big smile
I got in line just to see what’s up
She handed me a sample in a cup

I took a bite and then began to sup

DR JRand61, what a horror story! When DR Ginny was in LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL, we had a nursing home audience for the dress rehearsal. About 10:45, just before the Big Final Scene, they started dragging the old folks back to the bus. One old man fell, so during the Big Final Scene, we all had to listen to cries of "Help Me! Heeeeelp Meeee!" Makes you believe in euthanasia.

My doctor's new assisting doctor looks like a Bollywood film star, DR MBarnum, so you might want to schedule your exams in Manhattan.
Peggy Cass used to tell the story about how she won the Tony for Best Featured Actress in AUNTIE MAME.....they put her name up in lights on the marquee....
She told Jack Paar she ran down to the theatre to watch it light up - only to find that the "C" in her last name was burned out.
I read that THE BEST MAN has eight names above the title.

I'm driving in (or maybe taking the train) tomorrow, and driving in Sunday evening.
I was going to post more mean comments about DR MBarnum, but he's gone away.

Be careful or he'll make mean posts about you. Wait...
Never mind.

Probably to see "Magic Mike."
DR JRand and I will be in NYC next year, for sure. JRand is getting his social security and footing the bill, I believe he said...or I might be wrong.

Is there a big HHW shindig in New York next year?

I was surprised when you didn't hoodwink him into taking your exam FOR you.

The library detail went well on Tuesday. It was a quiet day and I ended up using Remote Desktop to do some of my regular work since there were not a lot of patrons needing assistance.

If it means you will come to New York, yes.
DR JOHN G - one of my favorite newspaper misprints is as follows:
Mr John Smith did eat his home Saturday afternoon.
How are you feeling, Mike?
DR CILLA LIZ - whew! Shocking!! Thanks for the link to the story with the details!CillaLiz, that was a horrific story. I think I'd prefer to sleep through it.
DR JMK - stitch me one of them samplers, please.

How are you feeling, Mike?
Been okay the last few days. Waiting for my test results.
Just thought HHW Dear Readers would enjoy a novella today.
until the last correction finally stated that the original article had been in error and Chief Joseph wasn't the actual body buried in the grave.
Forgive my ignorance, but what purpose is there for the i-pad? I mean, it isn't a phone and it isn't a laptop, is it?
DR JRand61, what a horror story! When DR Ginny was in LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL, we had a nursing home audience for the dress rehearsal. About 10:45, just before the Big Final Scene, they started dragging the old folks back to the bus. One old man fell, so during the Big Final Scene, we all had to listen to cries of "Help Me! Heeeeelp Meeee!" Makes you believe in euthanasia.

RE: LOVE NEVER DIES
Reading the storyline and what happens at the end sequal contradicts what happens at the begiinging of the original musical. I saw leave enough alone.
[Much as I suspect DR MBarnum is eager to have the doctor's assistant take his temperature, I know that never having a colonoscopy is what killed my dad and I won't let it kill me. I suspect DRMBarnum, or another of my critics, will murder me before any cancer takes a hold.

THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6p6BtMY6AI&sns=fb) is worth the 13 minutes of your time it takes to watch. And watch the whole thing, you should.
Jayne Houdyshell, who received a 2012 Tony nomination for her performance as Hattie in the recent Broadway revival of Follies, has recorded a solo version of her show-stopping "Broadway Baby."
According to a posting on the website of PS Classics, the label that released the cast recording of the award-winning revival, "The Metropolitan Museum of Art recently asked if they could include 'Broadway Baby' on a compilation CD they were doing, of songs from musicals set in New York City. We of course said yes, but we also felt the track might be more appropriate on a compilation disc as a Hattie solo, without Solange and the Whitmans mysteriously returning at the end. So the wonderful Jayne Houdyshell went back into the studio last month and recorded a new ending, and as a gift to our customers, we thought we'd make the solo track available here."

Not that I know of. I know Priscilla is coming to town at some point but unless you all want to come to New York in 2013 to celebrate my 60th birthday, there is nothing planned that I know of.
Tonight on the news there was a story about a bacon sundae at Burger King, so, of course I had to go get one. It was actually quite good. Vanilla ice cream, chocolate, caramel and bacon. LOVED IT
