With shows opening Sunday and Wednesday, I've been understandably e & t, and haven't been reading posts since that 300+ night. I feel very out of the loop. But I should be able to make it to that signing, and the Joe Allen's nightcap. I
have been reading the notes
Right now I'm listening to Donald Feltham's Broadway radio hour, which, given my old computer and slow internet connection, actually takes me more than six hours to listen to (it keeps stopping, buffering, and then goes on). In the CD player are:
Sweet Charity
Bus & Truck (demo)
Sally Mayes: Story Hour
vcr is half-way through this week's Law & Order
The view from behind the piano is murky. I've no idea if these Second City shows will be the funniest thing since sliced jello or uncomfortable embarrassments. You simply have to see for yourself.
I'm not sure how many numbers I have in
Generation F'd - could be two, could be three. The opening number is the catchiest number ever written. Eight bars of the thing and you'll be humming it forever. I say this not as a boast, but as a warning.
And Then He Wrote - Songs of Squeaky Klein may turn out to be as short as a half hour, as we've cut the barbershop quartet, and I'm being pressured to shorten the ballet as it's tiring the cast out. (I hasten to point out that we've only one particularly young and spry person in the cast; everybody else is around 50.) And Then He Wrote is free, no reservations needed, in a nice neighborhood (Elmore's) and over soon.
