BK, interesting notes (as always).  I know it's not Wednesday yet, but here's a question...I wonder if you have many (any?) more "outtakes" from your Benjamin Kritzer books?  Could any of those be expanded/worked into short stories?  Random vignettes of Benjamin's life?  Just a thought. :)

I've thought about doing a Kritzer short story book - who knows?  The story Maddie, in How To Write A Dirty Book and Other Stories is essentially a Kritzer story.

I think the very first concept album I ever got without knowing it was a concept album was a musical version of Tom Jones. It was during the time I was collecting cast albums.

I know loner remember anything about it and it still might be packed away.

I'm hoping today will be a (relatively) normal day tax-wise, allowing me to check in both here and on All that Chat from time to time. 

We had a tax-office rush because of the many Passover-observant clients who very logically and understandably  needed to have their returns or extensions by today or at the very latest early tomorrow.  For the observant Jews, Wed. night into Friday night are observant days of Passover, then Shabbos until Saturday night, no one works on Sunday in the "real world," which would have left only Monday and Tuesday (which everyone agreed was cutting things too close for getting work to clients for the Wednesday April 15 deadline).  For anyone keeping track, Tuesday night the 14th to Thurs the 16th are again holy days for the Passover-observant.

My mom and I scratched our trip to Columbus, Indiana, because of the wintery weather.  We were supposed to drive over there this evening and spend a couple of days with my niece who's been there since Saturday with the Illinois State University women's golf team.  Laura (my niece) and I decided that it's going to be too cold tomorrow to have my mom out and about seeing unique architecture.

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
EVITA
PET SOUNDS (Beach Boys)
THE NAKED CARMEN
RED, HOT AND BLUE (the Cole Porter AIDS Benefit recording)
REI MOMO  (David Byrne)
AMERICAN IDIOT (Green Day)

The concept of a "Concept" recording sometimes confuses me.  I tend to define it as a recoding that's built right from the go-get around an solidifying/unifying idea.  But would that include the decision to make an album dedicated to a certain artist or musical style, like Bete Midler singing the hits of Peggy Lee or Willie Nelson singing standards?  Can you say that Paul Simon's GRACELAND is a concept album?  How about comedy albums like Lily Tomlin's MODERN SCREAM or jsut about anything done by The Firesign Theatre?

I'll be very interested in everyone's concepts of "Concept".

There was also that Disney recoding that came out in the 80's about the same time as RED, HOT AND BLUE, but the name escapes me at the mo'.  Tom Waits, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Buster Pointdexter and even Yma Sumac performed on it.  It was a wonderfully whacky recording.

I did not like the last Cabaret, Too Cutesy. Maureen Brennan(she co-conceived the show) has a "look at me,I'm performing" attitude. I would like to know your opinion.
Next Year looks very promising

Today I will be working on finshing up the Blu-ray of GIGI. I'm interested to watch the 1949 French version of the story (this predates Anita Loos' play based on Colette's story, I think). And the commentary should be interesting. It unfortunately does not include the gurgling Dr. Drew Casper, but he was featured in the documentary on the making of the movie.

I got the remainder of Criterion's Blu-ray and DVD releases for the month yesterday, a big box containing four more discs. None of them come out until April 21st and most come out on the 28th, so there will be time to get to them all. That sci-fi set of 23 short films is three discs of more than 3 hours per disc of material. That's going to take at least two days to get through.

little marie and the gun. I hope that part doesn't come true. Of all the scenes
i've watched on that show to me that was one of the most disturbing things they
have shown.  The rest of the show was great though. Even though occasionally
things become apparent, i find that this is one show that goes off in so many

In other news I went on a theatre ticket buying binge this morning.

Actually, one show I had earlier. A friend has made a practice of getting the $10 tickets for the first preview of shows at The Roundabout. She got 4 tickets  for The Philanthropist (starring Matthew Broderick). One of the four canceled and she offered me the ticket so this Friday I will see Matthew Broderick in the Christopher Hampton play, The Philanthropist (based on Moliere's The Misanthropist). When I was auditioning/acting I used a piece from the show for auditions. Now I shall see it acted (by MB) on the stage of the Selwyn (AKA the American Airlines) Theatre.

On Saturday I will see all three of the Norman Conquest plays at 11am, 3pm and 8pm

On Sunday at 2pm I will see Cynthia Nixon in Distracted (a play about a boy with ADD) and at 7pm I will see Accent on Youth, a revival of a 1934 play. This new production stars David Hyde Pierce

On Tuesday I will see the new translation of Schiller's play, Mary Stuart. It's an import from London.

So I am a busy boy. It takes my mind off the rat hole!

Good news about Vermont.   :D

We can't even get basic protections for housing and employment here in Delaware.   >:(

(To tell the truth, the bill keeps passing in the State Assembly, but when it goes to committee in the Senate, it goes to the Small Business Committee, and the chairman of said committee is staunchly against it, so he puts it aside and never even lets his own committee discuss the bill.  Happens every year.  The kicker is that the State Assembly is controlled by the Republicans, so it's passage there is due to the support of the Republicans.  And the guy in the Senate who keeps blocking it in committee?  Yep, typical topsy-turvey Delaware, he's a Democrat.)

(The good news is, same Senator put forward a bill in the Senate this year that would ban any form of gay marriage in Delaware.  The Senate overwhelmingly voted against his bill.  At least we're doing some things right.)

And our own esteemed BK is guilty of introducting me to Rupert Holmes' Widescreen, thanks to his reissuing it on CD.

BK is also the guilty party behind A Broadway Love Story.  I haven't decided if his sentences sould be consecutive or concurrent, but I'm leaning towards the concurrent thanks to the quodlibet "You're Just In Love" on BLS.

Unwanted Facial Hair Department:  I was watching either The Daily Show or Colbert last night when a commercial popped on about some new prescription cream to remove unwanted facial hair (for women).  The dermatologist recommending the cream is the same lady who a) had no clue what my skin issue is and, b) equally had no clue as to what this weird growth on Zach's foot is.  Caveat emptor.

I really am sorry to hear about his death. He was always friendly, and I hadn't run into him in several years. My last memory is seeing him on Seventh Avenue around 48th Street. When I worked with Margaret Whiting for the "Wall-to-Wall Loesser" in 1998, she seemed very dependent upon him.

I spent the remainder of the afternoon watching the rest of the bonus features on GIGI.

I began with Jeanie Basinger's audio commentary. Not all that well organized but it was scene specific and occasionally she was joined by Leslie Caron's previously recorded comments.
Title: Re: AFTER ALL THE LOVES OF MY LIFE
Post by: Matt H. on April 07, 2009, 01:17:17 PM
Next I watched the 1949 version of GIGI. How interesting to watch the same familiar scenes played by a completely different cast and without those marvelous songs. Of course, without those, it ran a brisk 82 minutes. Much more a drawing room comedy in this version with precious little spectacle (though they did visit the Ice Palace just as in the musical version.)
Title: Re: AFTER ALL THE LOVES OF MY LIFE
Post by: Matt H. on April 07, 2009, 01:20:04 PM
Then I watched the short THE MILKLION DOLLAR NICKEL, a 1952 short subject made in the midst of the Cold War admonishing Americans to use the five cent air mail stamp to send letters to Europe and Asia to combat the propoganda being spread there about how bad life was in America. Four foreign-born MGM stars asked in their own native tongues for people to write letters: Pier Angeli, Ricardo Montalban, Zaa Zaa Gabor, and Leslie Caron (which, I suppose, is why this short was included on the disc).

It was an album made before the show was finally mounted so there are major differences in some numbers between the recording and what ended up on stage. It iasn't technically a cast album but it does employ the workshop cast.

Good Afternoon!

Well... I decided to head out for a bit, mainly to get out of the office just to get some fresh air.  I figured I might as well drive across the Ravenel Bridge, and wander around a bit before heading back for tonight's rehearsal.  Well...

As I left the parking lot, I thought I heard a knocking sound coming from somewhere on the passenger side of the car.  It only got louder as I approached the bridge.  However, once I was on the bridge and driving at speed (55mph - which is strictly enforced here), the sound disappeared.  That was until I took the exit for Meeting Street.  As I slowed down the knocking "appeared" again, and got louder and to the point where I could feel it in the floorboards.  Most definitely not a good thing.  So, I turned around as soon as I was able to, and headed back to the theatre.  -And, yes ,the knocking continued.

Our Bialystock actually does work on cars, and I'll see if he can take the car for a drive around the parking lot before or after rehearsal, just to make sure it's "safe".  It could just be something off-balance, or maybe a piston, or... However, I sense it may have something to do with one of the tire's ball and/or CV joints, and, if so, I definitely don't and won't feel safe driving back to the apartment tonight - especially since I have to be on the highway for part of that drive.  Hmm...

And if you listen carefully - and look at the fine print in the booklet for the Original Broadway Cast Recording - you will notice that Audra McDonald's opening number, "Your Daddy's Son", as well as the duet, "Wheels Of A Dream", were ported over from the Toronto Cast/Studio recording.

DR ARNOLD BROCKMAN

How was the final cabaret show of the season?

And who do they have lined up for next year!

+


I did not like the last Cabaret, Too Cutesy. Maureen Brennan(she co-conceived the show) has a "look at me,I'm performing" attitude. I would like to know your opinion.
Next Year looks very promising

WILL & ANTHONY NUNZIATA(have you ever heard of them?)

TONY DANZA

CHRISTINE ANDREAS

ADAM PASCAL

and the special Show-  CHRISTINE EBERSOLE

I have not heard of WILL & ANTHONY NUNZIATA.  But...... http://www.willandanthony.com/ (http://www.willandanthony.com/)

I am not sure how well Adam Pascal will go over with the crowd at the Crest. Adam Who? He was in Aida? What was Aida?

I really don't want to see Christine Ebersole again. I liked her but not enough to see her again a year later. If I don't have to get tickets to her show I won't.

CHRISTINE ANDREAS is spectacular and I would see her again. I saw her at the Colony in West Palm a few tears ago.

Which leads us to Tony Danza....

Now it will behoove us to see who will be here next year as some people always drop out. Sammy Williams was supposed to be here this year and was so was Jerry Lanning doing the Harnick show,

Mark Keller who produces these shows also put together the Harnick Show.

Are they having problems getting the big name people?

Title: Re: AFTER ALL THE LOVES OF MY LIFE
Post by: bk on April 07, 2009, 05:51:21 PM
It was a difficult decision to leave Esther out of the book, but when I knew the story I had to tell was going to be that of the character Samantha Gilman there was no way to do it.  I'd had an inkling early on in Kritzer Time about the Samantha character, who is based on a real life person - the book is dedicated to her memory - and I really didn't know if I wanted me or the book to go there, but in the end I simply had to.  Those who've read the book know why that was such a difficult decision, but the book and the series would not be what it was without Samantha.

DR ARNOLD BROCKMAN

How was the final cabaret show of the season?

And who do they have lined up for next year!

+


I did not like the last Cabaret, Too Cutesy. Maureen Brennan(she co-conceived the show) has a "look at me,I'm performing" attitude. I would like to know your opinion.
Next Year looks very promising

WILL & ANTHONY NUNZIATA(have you ever heard of them?)

TONY DANZA

CHRISTINE ANDREAS

ADAM PASCAL

and the special Show-  CHRISTINE EBERSOLE

I have not heard of WILL & ANTHONY NUNZIATA.  But...... http://www.willandanthony.com/ (http://www.willandanthony.com/)

I am not sure how well Adam Pascal will go over with the crowd at the Crest. Adam Who? He was in Aida? What was Aida?

I really don't want to see Christine Ebersole again. I liked her but not enough to see her again a year later. If I don't have to get tickets to her show I won't.

CHRISTINE ANDREAS is spectacular and I would see her again. I saw her at the Colony in West Palm a few tears ago.

Which leads us to Tony Danza....

Now it will behoove us to see who will be here next year as some people always drop out. Sammy Williams was supposed to be here this year and was so was Jerry Lanning doing the Harnick show,

Mark Keller who produces these shows also put together the Harnick Show.

Are they having problems getting the big name people?

Adam Pascal's claim to fame was in the original production of RENT

And before I actually go home, some friends have gone on vacation and asked if I would feed their pets.  I said that I would and I did last night (after they called asking how their pets were...Ooops!)  Anyway, I didn't forget tonight and they're coming home tomorrow.

Well, the demand hasn't been there, really.  Once we determine the number of the limited edition, it really can't be changed.  I'm not going to sit and guess if an extra 500 people might want one of the titles - a) it costs more to do 1500 than 1000, significantly so, b) as soon as you say 1500, people get lazy and think they've got all the time in the world and you don't sell as many upfront and on these titles I've got to move them quickly to cover the costs.  The profit margin isn't very big but it helps fund other projects and keeps us going.

Had a fun evening of viewing. I began by watching THE PRINCE & THE PAUPER starring Mickey Mouse. Didn't I just watch this yesterday? Yep, but in the DVD I reviewed yesterday, Disney framed it at 1.33:1 and in the Disney tin of a few years ago, it was framed at 1.66:1 and anamorphically enhanced. Anyone who says this doesn't make a hell of a difference in one's perceptions about a movie need only compare these two encodes of the same movie to see what a difference it makes. As a widescreen feature, it seems like a REAL movie, not like an episode of a TV program. (It was made to be shown with THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER in theaters.)

I guess Disney framed it at 1.33:1 for the new release so it would pair nicely with the other four shorts on the disc which were all 1.33:1. For me, that's not a good reason.

Next, I watched GOODBYE, MY FANCY with Joan Crawford, Robert Young, and Frank Lovejoy. I've always had a soft spot for this movie, not just because of Joan Crawford but I also love Eve Arden in it (in Shirley Booth's Tony-winning role).

The Warner Archive encoding is just like the one for THIS WOMAN IS DANGEROUS. Sharp with a nice looking black and white picture, but there are plenty of age related specks and the reel change markers are there. There was also one moment when the disc faltered momentarily, a little skip. I didn't check the disc to see if there was something on the disc or if that was just an encoding error. Otherwise, it looked fine.

After that, I watched tonight's NCIS. A pretty good case through when Abby is the focal point of an episode, those usually don't prove to be favorites. It was a pretty good mystery with a surprise villain that I should have figured out but didn't.

Next, I watched AMERICAN IDOL. Well, I watched as much of IDOL as my DVR recorded which, sad to say, wasn't enough to see Adam Lambert's performance because the show ran way over. So I didn't see him at all.

Every year that they use the theme of singing a song from your birth year, it never turns out to be a good show. Tonight was no different. I thought they overpraised Danny (I heard several bum notes and honestly thought at one point that he must have been ill to be so off). Lil was the worst she's been; she's totally lost any momentum she had originally. My favorites were Allison and Matt of the singers I saw tonight. Maybe I will try to see if I can catch Adam's performance on-line.

I watched tonight's episode of "Fringe" (at 9:00 pm) and one of the guests was an actor named Erik Palladino.  I'd seen him in shows over the years, but I recall that I'd seen him on "Reaper" just last month.  And then I started watching tonight's episode of "Cupid" (that started at 10:00 pm) and he was on that, also!  He's the guest on two different shows on the same night.  I looked up his IMDb listing (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005292/) and he was also on "Private Practice" just a couple of months ago. 

Four guest spots in two months...he's getting around. ;)
