The first show I thought of when BK mentioned Cindy Williams' name and all the songs was MAMMA MIA.

Ooo...that'd be good!

Now I forget who said it in those interviews.....but it makes perfect sense....and now I will never forget it:

GYPSY has the old show business snap and sparkle from Jule Styne and the darker future of show business from Stephen Sondheim.

Or something to that effect.

When I'm asked what Such Good Friends is like, and don't have time to go into detail, I tell people it's like Gypsy. This is not a boast about its quality; it's just the type of show it is. Lots of humor, very catchy songs, on-stage and not on-stage numbers, and a serious side. Of course I have no mother-daughter material, nor a strip tease. (If I could figure out how to work in a strip tease to a show about the early days of television, I would.

)

Yes, I did write up a new version of the ending this morning. And restructured the scene that involves a forget-your-cares seduction (along the lines of You'll Never Get Away From Me), so it's been a big day.

Question for FJL and BK: How many days of rehearsal are you planning for your NYMF shows?

Whenever I'm asked what my fabulous life is like, I say it's much like "Ben-Hur" with a dollop of "Follies"...no, there's no dilapidated theater about to come down, and there isn't a chariot race, but if could figure out a way to work them in, I'm certain I'd go that route.

And you just wouldn't believe HOW MANY people ask me about this.

I'm simply amazing.

Wow! What got your panties in a bunch over Mr Bean? Does this mean you never listen to ILYA DARLING?

Ahh, he's got bunched panties over several folks.

Never fails to surprise me when he turns vicious about someone I love.

We are under three weather alerts. I am hopeful for some rain. Lots of rain. Lots and lots of rain. So far this summer, we've only had wind, dust, and about 20 minutes of rain.

Ugh!

Another food recall. Time to check your canned beef products. $:-\$

Google Maps has a feature - I think it's called Street View - where you can look at panoramic pictures of any street in New York. Southeast corner of 54th and 9th is a construction site now. But I love 9th Avenue. Spend as much time on it as I can

Well, I too agree with him about Bernadette Peters! Perhaps if you had to sit through too many performances she's given while wondering when they're going to bring on the understudy since the star's voice sounds like shit, you'd agree with me.

Sometimes I think we should all just quit eating.

Or maybe just eat ice cream. Ice cream has never been recalled, has it?

George · « **Reply #250 on:** July 23, 2007, 04:04:12 PM »

Well, it' official...'Price Is Right' for Drew Carey. Discuss.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #251 on:** July 23, 2007, 04:04:27 PM »

Botulism this time.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #252 on:** July 23, 2007, 04:05:14 PM »

My opinion, for what it's worth (which is absolutely nothing): Price is Right should retire with Bob Barker.

Today I loathe and detest the US Post Office: whle packing up the office today, we came across 5 cartons of empty toner containers to be returned at the manufacturer's expense. The cartons are clumsy and oversize but light and I thought, well, the PO has a pickup service. I spent over 30 minutes on the US Postal site trying to decipher why the 9th floor info on our address would not go through. On my second frustrating call to a voice on the PO's 800 number, I got through to a postal clerk who helped me and told me that I had to enter a suite number and our building was registered as having Suites 900-903. How the hell was I to know that?

After all that madness, I tried to schedule a pickup only to be refused for not having any package going Overnight or 2-3 dad special delivery. Damn! What assholes.

...And the rain continues here in NYC. It wasn't too annoying while walking around downtown, however, with all the scaffolding up around every other building, there were lots of little waterfalls here and there. I'm just glad it's not windy and stormy, otherwise, we'd that pesky leak in our downstairs bathroom would probably return.

I WANT SOME RAIN!!!!!!!

You are THE BEST.

I saw A CHORUS LINE in May, 1985.....for the first time....

Can it really be 22 years ago?

I saw it in June 1977 in London the first time and then I saw it in New York in the Spring of 1978 I think

bk · « **Reply #257 on:** July 23, 2007, 04:25:30 PM »

When and if she gets the offer, I can say what show.

Noel: We're taking all four weeks of rehearsal, and usually six six-hour days.

It's a nice neighborhood. It's a bit "empty" right now due to a couple of empty store fronts on the south-east side of 9th Ave. However, El Centro is right on the corner there - great Mexican food. -I believe DR Cillaliz and I ate there. Plus, you're right down the street from DR Jason's former workplace - MTI. There are some other good, basic diners in the area too.

You'd be a few blocks from the 50th and 59th Street/Columbus Circle subway stops too. Plus, there's a mini-farmer's market that sets up shop up on the corner or 9th and 57th. And since you're not on 8th Ave., and a few blocks from Times Square, it's also quieter at night.

Yes, we did eat there. It was very ~~food.~~ I mean very good

Yeah, there was the salmanilla (or however you spell that) from Schwanns a few years back. But I think maybe it's worth the risk

Meet my new neighbor -- Jean-Pierre. Eight weeks old. He lives across the street.

His owner is the 16-year-old girl, who bought him with the money she made selling tans at a tanning salon. In Arizona.

The wind is picking up and it is dark and threatening. We are now under FIVE various weather alerts.

Of course I have not watched THE PRICE IS RIGHT since 1974.
