Shayne, I answered the first time you asked - yes, Jackie Cain does the vocal on the album. Did you get the e-mail I sent you?

Thanks re: Jackie Caine. I must have missed your first answer,. Much apprecitated.

The first time you asked that question, Michael, I thought you asked if Jackie Chan sang the theme song.

It is VERY windy here. Again.

Here, too. It was so windy on I-71 that I got off and took the back roads at the end of my drive from Columbus.

Buy.com just sent me a coupon to use on their site to thank me for being a good customer. The coupon was for 5% off.

Do you think that they don't want me back?

I have a 30% off coupon for Borders. Jealous?

So, I'm now off to Borders!

I wonder if they'll have anything that I even want...that's always the problem when the coupon is for in-stock items only. $:-\$

TOD:

In the cheapies DVD bin at work, I spotted Bye Bye Birdie for just $9.99. It has now replaced the laserdisk.

The film has not held up well.

But it would be worth another visit for Terrible Casting, if just for the bit parts.

(I nominate Angela Lansbury for the Mayor's Wife... she could milk those legs like crazy!)

I just watched this movie a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was delightful.

Part of my problem with the original film of BBB comes from how much the script deviated from the stage version. Speeding turtles? Not that the original story was all that great, but castrating the score the way it did (which I didn't discover until the Tommy Tune stage tour)...

The television film remake kept to the original story (for the most part), but the casting was horrendous.

I've heard that there are plans for a film remake, due in 2011. I shudder to think what will happen.

I reminded my boss that the Joan Rivers comedy show here in Rehoboth is tomorrow night.

Big oops. He'd forgotten, and already scheduled himself to be working tomorrow night.

Right now, it looks like his second-in-command will be going... assuming Bob's wife agrees to go.

(No, der B isn't feeling too well right now, or we'd have figured out some way of getting our suits wearable.)

I love how this has all turned out to be so last minute.

Well, considering that they just announced a Broadway revival the other day with John Stamos as Albert.................

S. Woody White · « **Reply #254 on:** April 03, 2009, 08:04:35 PM »

STAMOS as Albert?

I don't think so. Albert is an essentially weak man who learns how to grow a spine. That means the audience has to buy him as spineless through most of the show, but he still has to be charming. Dick Van Dyke was that kind of actor. Stamos as spineless? Nuh-uh, not working for me.

I'm back from seeing Benjamin Britten's version of THE BEGGAR'S OPERA at Manhattan School of Music. It was a good student production, but I do think I directed it better in 1979. The role I had to play in 1979, when the actor I cast dropped out, was sung much better by the senior Jesse Cromer tonight. The orchestra was wonderful and most of the cast was very good. The scene between Macheath and the whores at the tavern, I swear, is foolproof: just let them talk and the laughs happen.

DOLLY TRULL: Pray, Madam, were you ever in keeping?

SUKY TAWDRY: I hope, Madam, I han't been so long upon the Town, but I have met with some good-fortune as well as my Neighbors.

DOLLY TRULL: Pardon me, Madam, I meant no harm by the Question; 'Twas only in the way of Conversation.

SUKY TAWDRY: Indeed, Madam, if I had not been a Fool, I might have liv'd very handsomely with my last Friend. But upon his missing five Guineas, he turn'd me off. Now I never suspected he had counted them.

MRS SLAMMEKIN: Who do you look upon, Madam, as your best sort of Keepers?

DOLLY TRULL: That, Madam, is thereafter as they be.

MRS SLAMMEKIN: I, Madam, was once kept by a Jew; and bating their Religion, to Women they are a good sort of People.

SUKY TAWDRY: Now for my Part, I own I like an old Fellow: For we always make them pay for what they can't do.

It's Friday night. happy happy joy joy

I'm glad I'm old enough to stay home on Friday night and not worry about it.

Always feeling like I had to be out on Friday and Saturday night in my 20's and 30's, derailed what I should have been doing. Like homework and a career.

Now 4 years from retirement, I'm happy to be home and safe.

What an afternoon - something like six hundred CDs went out of here, maybe more and we got them ALL shipped including all the dealers.

Good cast party after rehearsal. Ate way too much junk food, but had a great time hanging out with everyone.

Even though we don't have rehearsal tomorrow, I will still be working. The Theatre Charleston will be holding their Unified Auditions, and since they knew I would be in town, they asked me if would like to play for the auditions. I said, "Yes." -The director from Charleston Stage also has to attend, so that's part of the rehearsal is not being held tomorrow - in addition to the Cooper River Bridge Run messing up the traffic. In any case... I will be playing tomorrow afternoon. I think there are only 75 people signed up, so it should be a short session. And then I believe I will be using a part of my fee to pay for a nice dinner downtown.
