DR Cillaliz - Will you just be flying in Thursday morning and taking the last flight back that night for the Opening Night of Curtains?

"American Idol" SORTA SPOILER #11







Last performer of the evening: Female.  Good song choice, but sort of "questionable" for me - I was afraid the judges were going to brand her with the dreaded "Broadway" or "Cabaret" label.  However, she took what could have been a potentially boring song choice and made it work for her.  Although, frankly, I would have liked a bit more fireworks.

Cason!  Are you feeling better?  I had  heard you were confined to bed for the weekend?

 ::)

LOL -- You so funny.  Yes, yes, feeling as fit as a fiddle.  

Just gearing up for the big "Full Monty" callback tomorrow...

"big"?  I guess you are working on your "hee-hah".  Although, I suspect you're just one of those naturally talented people.

I have to say, Boo-Key, that I was trying to do some rudimentary color correcting on some of the Brain shots, which involved clicking on each clip.

In every shot you're in, no matter where I would park, your face always had the most hilarious and in-character expressions---Greg and I were both laughing our heads off.

He thinks you are going to be a huge star, too!

Awww, thank you.  :)  Robert, our "photographer" and husband to ensemble member Ksenia was saying something very similar after he came to shoot the show.  But I really do appreciate it - you and Greg know how to compliment a guy!

"American Idol" wrap-up - from me, at least.





The producers provided the contestants with a great list of song choices this week, and the mix of tunes tonight made for an enjoyable show.

Tomorrow will be a hectic day….packing, organizing, cleaning the house for the house sitter, etc.  I doubt I will have a chance to post.

Thank you for all the good vibes and thoughts for our sweet Sherlock.  Since I won’t have access to a computer this weekend I will call Penny Friday afternoon and she will let you know what happened.

My NY lodging dilemma is solved, and we will be staying at Peter's. His family seemed genuinely disappointed that we were planning to get a hotel room (we're sort of extended family by now) so we'll be on West End Ave. @99th.

Duh, I knew that.  No, I won't be flying in.  It would have been fun, I've never been to an opening night.

Good Morning, once again!

From the "Only in New York" file...

So, here today at Chelsea Studios, former "Grease:YTOTIW" contestant, Nick, is working at the desk.  And just down the hall, the required six-month replacement call for the the upcoming production of Grease is being held down the hall.  -And to make it even "weirder", the six-month call is being held even before the show has started rehearsals!

;)


Jose,

Could you explain that to those of still mired in community theater?

Oohh.. Just a few blocks from Riverside Park and the Silver Moon Bakery!

Well, despite the promise of someone at the local DHL "staying in touch" with me, it didn't happen.  Despite the promise that the package would be delivered to my house, it didn't happen.  I finally called amazon, who couldn't have been nicer or more understanding.  They've filed a complaint against DHL and the way this was handled, refunded me the entire purchase, and are sending me another DVD overnight, NOT via DHL.  

My guess is that the stupid idiots at DHL will deliver tomorrow, but to my home, when I'm not here.  They'll leave a slip, and then another day will go by.  Or, maybe Mr. Mongoloid Delivery Person will sheepishly deliver it to the mail place.  I will be contacting the DHL corporate office to lodge my formal complaint about the local branch and the driver.

Jose,

Could you explain that to those of still mired in community theater?

Here's a short and, hopefully, understandable answer:

Basically, Actor's Equity requires that the producer's of Broadway shows and touring productions have a set of auditions every six months, a "required six-month open call".  These are held regardless or not there are any openings in the cast.  They insure that the producers see more than just the people they "want to see" at "invited calls".

Since the upcoming revival of Grease started casting back in September, they were required to have a six-month call now.

Conversely, even when a show has announced a closing date, they are still required to have a "six-month call" - even if the show is closing two weeks later.  -Although, sometimes, those can be waived.

And sometimes a show will announce a closing date just days after a required call.

This is the greatest site in the world every day, but especially on one's birthday!!

Thanks for the wonderful birthday wishes everyone. And that's okay, Ron. To my family, I am Tommy.

Sorry I haven't been around since I got back. I have checked in a couple times but not caught up enough to post.

I guess I should go sit on my couch like so much fish and watch a movie.  I really wanted to watch the movie that was supposed to arrive today, but, oh, well.
