We actually had fifteen Deceit orders yesterday - now, if we can have that same number today that would be great.

BK (if you don't mind my asking), is there a break-even point, or how many do you have to sell to start making a profit?

Hiya -

It's cloudy again today. Sheesh. Two beautiful days of blue skies and sun, and then at least 2 and probably more days of drizzle and overcast and (oh, Penny, bitch and moan!) and grey. (Let's whine a little, why don't we?)

Anyhow - the job I sent in my (gi-normous) application for back at the beginning of April... I got a call that my interview is June 27. And I have an even-more gi-normous presentation to make, in ten minutes of the hour-long meeting. Said presentation is: you have a 5-show season, and $200K to do it with. Pick 5 Broadway--style musicals, relevant to the area demographic. Explain: Which shows and why; and how do you budget the money?

I have tentatively begun to work out a season... but I am woefully unaware of smaller shows... as in, without large singer/dancer choruses. Recent seasons included small shows like Forever Plaid. Company. Got some ideas??? Please help me with this research!!!

Penny, here are three that I've seen that aren't on Vixmom's list:

Das Barbecü!! BK recorded the show and I saw a production in Seattle that was directed and choreographed by the original choreographer.

Angry Housewives!! I've seen two different productions and both were just fabulous! This has characters and situations that a LOT of women can identify with.

Urinetown...if a musical about peeing doesn't bother anyone. I just saw it last week and thought it was wonderful.

Oh my - I second ANGRY HOUSEWIVES for DRPENNYO's consideration. Except that the music books we got were a MESS and there weren't vocal books for the cast....maybe Samuel French has fixed that by now.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #125 on:** June 08, 2006, 12:09:52 PM »

I am still considering it, DRMBARNUM.....it LOOKS nice. But Tony Bennett isn't my favorite singer.

DRJOSE - did your ancestors come from the Flappapines?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #126 on:** June 08, 2006, 12:15:04 PM »

THE GEISHA BOY, yeah that was on TV a lot in Chicagoland. "Mr. Willy, Mr. Willy!"

Also THE FAMILY JEWELS. Jerry plays like 7 guys in that one, only a couple of which are funny.

THE NUTTY PROFESSOR though, that's the high-water mark. Budddy Love kills me. When he gets the school president up on the table reciting Shakespeare in his underwear, that's good stuff.

A hundred million miracles! FLOWER DRUM SONG on DVD.

My favorite is in one of the East Side Kids movies. Muggs says, "It's an optical delusion!"

The Promenade Theatre an Off-Broadway house in New York City (it's on the Upper West Side at 76th Street) is closing down for good.

Here is a second article about the space.

Too bad!

Oh I don't thnk we needed the vocal books out here. The original production ran for about fifty years here in Seattle, so we all knew the words........... So, Eat your F##kin Corn Flakes.

We have to seel 500 DVDs to break even - I need to figure out how to get them in specialty shops like Amoeba - Footlight will carry it, I think. And Matt will sell them at fan events, too, and I suspect a lot will go at those venues.

Very sad reading about the closing of The Promenade Theatre. Even sadder to see that TRYST, which featured an almost naked Maxwell Caulfield will be closing on the 11th.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #138 on:** June 08, 2006, 12:55:26 PM »

Yeah, that is sad about the Promenade. Another sign of the times, I guess. My sis, when she lived in NYC, lived right by it, so I remember seeing the place on my first ever visit to New York. The only show I ever saw there was MR. GOLDWYN starring Alan King.

Ghostlight Records released "The Drowsy Chaperone" early in time for the Tony's so people can hear the score before the Tony's. It obviously hasn't hit the west coast yet. You'd think if they want to get the score out there, they would put it on iTunes!!!

MBarnum · « **Reply #141 on:** June 08, 2006, 01:04:11 PM »

And wowee...the same day that the Gods give us BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS on dvd, we will also get the my favorite Saturday morning tv series LANCELOT LINK: SECRET CHIMP!

This may very well spell the end of civiliztion to some...but it is a dream come true for me! LOL!

The vocal books are non-existant - along with "Leader of the Pack", "Blood Brothers" and "Zombie Prom" and probably others. I once asked Sam French how one was suppose to teach vocals without vocal books, and their answer was "Gather around the piano" My pal Mark joke about that all the time now.

I was shocked--it arrived on my desk this morning from Amazon.

I saw an entirely naked Maxwell Caulfield many moons ago in a play with Jessica Tandy and Elizabeth Wilson (neither of ~~which~~ whom got naked themselves.)

Yes thank you, I read them this morning from last night's posts. I wrote them down and I will try to locate them.. It also made me realize the Vixter has never seen the original ET!!

Isn't there some online soap opera store? I believe Ron Raines sells his CDs through it.
