And I hate to say it but I just caught a typo.

On the cast list Orson Bean is credited as Home Thrace instead of Homer

Home Thrace seems more right for a musical set in Athens than, say, Home Jeeves.

Another interesting side light of Illya Darling

One of the members of the ensemble went on to greater fame by appearing in a ground breaking play and its movie adaptation.

Robert La Tourneaux (Timid Sailor) who one year and three days later would appear in Mart Crowley's The Boys In the Band. He played the role of Cowboy (Harold's birthday present)

For La Tourneaux it would be more of a curse than a stepping. La Tourneaux was openly gay and that was very bold in the early 70's. He would appear in three other films in small roles and one more play on Broadway.

He would later go on to do a cabaret act at gay adult movie theater. in 1983 he was convicted of assault and went to Rikers.

He contacted HIV and the full blown AIDS during his stay.

He made headlines when he sued his landlord who wanted to evict him from his apartment because he had AIDS. He won his case and he died in1986.

I knew Robert La Tourneaux; I met him when he was acting in an Ayckbourn play and WHAT THE BUTLER SAW in Columbus, OH around 1977. He wasn't a very good actor but a friendly guy. During the 1980s before his death he was working as an escort. When I worked with the Gay Men's Chorus in the 1980s, I saw him at many celebrity parties with other famous escorts like Casey Donovan.

Illya Darling arrived and I am going to go listen to it right now.

The whore didn't come to my house today.

The post came while I was out on my walk and I totally forgot about it. I just opened the bundle of packages, and the whore did show up! Sorry, DR singdaw. I got my ILYA!

DR Jose, I got your card. Thanks! I had completely forgotten about it.

And Seesaw, like all the film releases, has less preorders than the shows, and yet is basically sold out. Go know.

Yes.

So...

I found myself wide awake around 4:30 this morning. I had toyed with the idea of just staying up - and maybe even heading into the office at that time to get some work done - but decided to head back to bed, to sleep. When the clock radio went off at 7:00, I heard the first minute of the NPR news, and then the EBS. At first I thought it was a test, but then the announcer came on: there was a tornado warning in effect for the next two hours. And it was pouring rain outside too. So, I stayed in bed until around 8:30, listening to the news and further storm and weather updates. Once the all-clear was announced, I got out of bed and started my day then.

Jose, a tornado warning means take shelter... A watch means watch the weather it could happen.
I'm glad one didn't hit, generally staying in bed isn't a safe place to be

Also, the documentary about the casting and creation of the recently closed [but touring] revival of A Chorus Line opens in theatres 17-April.

I am sure it will be a great improvement over the (cough) movie.

Bruce, ILLYA sounds pretty darn spry for being 42 years old.

I am very happy to know that ILLYA DARLING is selling so well; but in all honesty, I would rather chew on ground glass than listen to two minutes of Melina!

DR George, I'm very sorry you and company did not get to see Wicked yesterday. I'm sorry you didn't try calling the box office, since you at least knew the seat locations, to see if some arrangement could be made. I've read of people working with the house manager in some New York theatres under similar circumstances.

Quote from: Laura on April 06, 2009, 07:59:19 AM
I lost tickets one, too. It was at Phoenix Theater's production of "Joseph...Dreamcoat." I remembered exactly where the seats were and that one seat was a child's seat, which they were able to confirm on their seating chart. I had to bring my mastercard statement that proved I paid for tickets, then wait until the house was filled -- except for those seats. Then the usher seated us. DRs Sandra and Megan will remember this.

I made a "ticket box" after that, where ALL the tickets go as soon as they are purchased. Now I know where they are.

We (eventually) thought about that, but we didn't buy the tickets and how would the theater know that we're legitimate. AND my sister couldn't find the phone number of her co-worker who did buy the tickets.

Well, if she's her co-worker, can't someone at work give her a number? Won't she see her at work?

Too late. It all happened yesterday (Sunday) morning at 8:30 am. No one at my sister's work works on a Sunday...state workers, you know.

Watch it, George!

Please let me rephrase that...my sister's office is closed on Sunday, so no one was there.
