since there’s still coffee in my cup

But is it a cardboard cup?

Enquiring minds want to know.

The Tony noms are coming in

I hope no one is egregiously overlooked.

I am looking at the list of nominations for Best Musical and I feel.. Nothing.

They were funny!

Egregiously? No. But no love for The Wiz. Little love for Gatsby or Back to the Future.

At least everyone in Merrily who I was pulling for got nominated. I haven't seen any of the other eligible shows.

I'm up, I'm up - five hours of sleep, maybe a bit more - but good sleep, at least.

bk · « **Reply #43 on:** April 30, 2024, 07:11:42 AM »

I am shocked, shocked do you hear me, that so many here have never had the roadshow experience - everyone must be VERY young.

bk · « **Reply #44 on:** April 30, 2024, 07:11:52 AM »

Unlike me.

TOD: I had to look up what a roadshow movie was, but I'm pretty sure my parents took me to see Grand Prix and 2001 in that format. Definitely Grand Prix, which was in Cinerama. That was first but 2001 would be my favorite.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #46 on:** April 30, 2024, 07:58:20 AM »

TOD:

The Sound of Music at the Circle Theatre in Indy.

Gone With The Wind (1968 re-release) at probably the Loew's in Indy.

And like DR MICHAELG - 2001: A Space Odyssey & Ice Station Zebra at the Cinerama theatre.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #47 on:** April 30, 2024, 07:58:47 AM »

I didn't see Grand Prix until it came to the drive in.

I also saw Fiddler on the Roof at the Circle......

Did anyone else mispronounce Grand Prix when they were very young? (Asking for a friend)

It seemed surprising that the Spamalot revival got only one nomination. It closed already, but it seemed to be a well-received revival with the critics.

No DR FREDDIE - but I once wrote a very funny skit on that subject.....if you get my innuendo.

Hoping maybe there's a pdf of a script? Or some archival footage?

I mean, if they want it pronounced Gran Pree, then spell it Gran Pree.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #53 on:** April 30, 2024, 09:14:26 AM »

Good afternoon, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #54 on:** April 30, 2024, 09:15:07 AM »

I am back from our one morning show this year.

(Sometimes there are two days with a morning show, and I'm very glad there aren't this year.)

Now I must do what one must do every three months: make a very ugly quarterly property tax payment.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #56 on:** April 30, 2024, 09:16:36 AM »

DR Elmore, that is awful about the shoddy plumbing work y'all are getting now.

Freddie · « **Reply #57 on:** April 30, 2024, 09:17:37 AM »

According to an online posting by journalist Wayman Wong about the Tony nominations,

Besides ''Harmony,'' the other shows that were completely shut out were: ''The Cottage,'' ''The Heart of Rock and Roll,'' ''How to Dance in Ohio,'' ''I Need That,'' ''Once Upon a One More Time,'' ''The Shark Is Broken'' and ''The Wiz.''

That does sound unpleasant!

I don't pretend this is a complete list of them, but I had wonderful experiences seeing a fair number of movies in roadshow engagements, if not nearly the wealth of them that BK and others did. A question mark means I'm not positive whether my viewing was fully roadshow, or whether an intermission was still included at that time.
