Yesterday, I went to work for a few hours and then went to the 50th birthday party for my friend Pug.  Pug (her original and still legal name is Charlene) directed the first several shows that I did with TAO.  It was a surprise party and a grand time was had by all.

In a couple of hours, Steve and I will be heading over to the new Richmond Center Stage (http://www.richmondcenterstage.com/) for a concert by The Richmond Symphony (http://www.richmondsymphony.com/).

I'm looking forward to seeing what they have done to the Carpenter Center - now Carpenter Theatre (http://www.richmondcenterstage.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10&Itemid=82) - as well as the concert itself - which happens to feature one of my favorite piano concertos, Prokofiev's 3rd, played by one of my favorite pianists, Jeremy Denk.

*When I was in school, the music students frequently were offered free tickets to various concerts and presentations at The Carpenter Center.  It was the first "star ceiling" I remember seeing, and, apparently, the upgraded fiber-optic one is quite stunning. :)

On the topic of GUYS AND DOLLS's score:

I agree. It's one of the very greatest scores ever written for Broadway. And can you believe it didn't win the Tony for Best Score!

Irving Berlin won for CALL ME MADAM which is a good score but can't hold a candle to GUYS AND DOLLS!

Good morning, all! I got in very late (for me), so I slept in this morning. I have several phone calls to return from yesterday and at 2 pm or so I will meet Bruce Pomahac for a concert of Kalman's operetta SARI at Merkin Hall, performed by the folk from Philadelphia whose concert we attended several weekends ago. I'm very happy I cleaned the apartment yesterday because I am completely wiped out this morning and hung over.

I agree that GUYS & DOLLS is a great score!  Love the songs - but if the show isn't cast correctly, it can be a chore to sit through, at least for me.  I have seen some sad Adelaides and some pretty terrible Nathans and Sky(s). Some of them all in the same production.

My work project A for today is the 1994 version of MIRACLE ON 34th STREET. I can't say I'm thrilled to be watching this again, but maybe the Blu-ray will look glorious.

Of course, BONES episodes will continue to be viewed.

To the best of my research, Frank Loesser never won a TOny. His scores for HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS nor MOST HAPPY FELLA lost to other scores (OLIVER! and MY FAIR LADY).

Did he get one for being one of the producers of THE MUSIC MAN?
Title: Re: AWAY WE GO
Post by: Jrand74 on October 18, 2009, 07:46:51 AM
I have forgotten to post how much I am enjoying the CRY FOR US ALL cd!  I had read about the show in a couple of books, but I didn't know any of the music.

It is most entertaining.  I like the score - the lyrics, are a bit "jingle-y" but have some charm.  The music is very nice.  I like Mr Weede's songs, of course particularly "The Mayor's Chair".  Steve Arlen I had never heard of - but his solos are glorious.

I think Joan Diener is also grand.  But she just sings TOO MUCH.  I guess maybe she was a great Aldonza because she sang only a few songs.....and NOT all night.  It gets to be TOO MUCH for me.  And I guess she was tired of just wearing one ugly outfit in a show and decided she had to have a LOT of clothes for CRY FOR US ALL.  One critic referred to her range of expressions as "pancake makeup."  BUT her songs "How Are You, Since?" and "The Verandah Waltz" (purloined in tryouts from Halen Gallagher), are so lovely, you can almost forgive her other songs later in the show.

Don't like the street rats - kids who sing plot points.  The most joy is from Miss Helen Gallagher who sings a short ditty called  "Swing Your Bag" that makes me laugh and want to choreograph the whole show!  The title song is also quite interesting.

So - I guess what I'm saying is - if it's still available and you're on the fence - buy it.

As we may have discussed, the very same still-active Albert Marre of CRY FOR US ALL and (of course) MAN OF LA MANCHA fame was the director of the readings of the GLASS MENAGERIE musical adaptation BLUE ROSES, which DR Julie and I had the joy of seeing at the York Theatre on Thursday night.

I still have quite a bit of TV on the DVR. I guess I'll try to get through UGLY BETTY today while I cook and eat lunch. Still have MONK and PSYCH and LAW & ORDER  to watch. I also recorded SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE from last night's HBO-HD. I never have seen the movie, so once I can find the time, I'll get to see what all the shouting was about from last season's Oscar race.

Well, I think I'm going to take a walk along the river while Steve gets some practicing done.  The Richmond Men's Chorus and the newly formed Richmond Women's Chorus have their first concert of the season coming up this Saturday, so he's learning and playing double the amount of music he normally learns and plays.  Or something like that.

Jrand - The keepers of the Tennessee Williams estate appear to be involved at just about every step; they were there at the afternoon performance on Thursday, and I gather that perf had gone well as well. 

The writers (whom i know from when we were all students at the BMI Workshop) must be thrilled with how it all went.  The composer, by the way, is the great Nancy Ford (of Ford and Cryer fame, or is it Cryer and Ford).

Catching up on cleaning etc around the house today.  Doing laundry right now.  I really need to clean out the garage today (one side is where I park the other storage) so I can get all my outside stuff I put in for the winter put away.  We're going to have another rainy week ahead and more cold weather. Raking can wait for now, but doesn't look like we're going to have fall here, so I may as well get ready for winter.

Glad to hear The Glass Menagerie was good.  Funnily, back in 1969 in the Lehman Engel Workshop Menagerie was one of two shows he thought impossible to musicalize - and therefore those two shows were always given as assignments to see what the writers could come up with.  I wonder if Miss Cryer and Miss Ford, who were around back then, just really liked their song enough to resurrect it all these years later :)  The other show was Streetcar.

As I cooked and ate lunch, I watched UGLY BETTY's two hour season premiere. WHile it was great to have the show back, I tired over the two hours of all the impossible expectations placed on Betty effecting no-win situations for her. The show has ALWAYS done this, but it really got to me in this show. Plus the overall mean spiritedness in the episode really hit me hard, too. Yes, the resolution was satisfying enough, but the audience was put through an undue amount of torment to get there, at least I felt it was poured on a little thickly.

I look forward to less frenzied and frazled episodes in the weeks ahead.

I settled in for today's work project: MIRACLE ON 34th STREET (1994). Perfectly adequate remake but no more than that and lacks the magic and whimsy of the original. The changes made to modernize it robbed it of charm, and the actors were capable but, again, lacking magic and effervescence.

I have also seen a badly-cast production of Guys and Dolls. I wanted to stop everyone on the way out and tell them that it really is a great show.

One of the best productions of Guys and Dolls I saw was a high school production several years ago. We are quite pleased to see one of the young actors has gone professional and we see him once in a while at Phoenix Theater.

Seems bk's latest book is making the rounds.  At last week's event, I took 3 copies to give to Mark, Mary, and George.   Joanna was there with her copy (of course Miles was there).  Sue's husband read it and has to go to Musso and Frank (guess they saw the book at Tony's house).  In a nutshell.

I just finished posting on one of those cruise message boards.  Most of the people from my cruise seem to have been posting since January or February.  It was interesting reading, but I don't see myself becoming fast friends with any of these people.  All of them appear to be couples, mostly all retired, and most of them seem to cruise two or three times a year.

I think the main reason for posting is to cut the costs of the shore excursions, but I am not really sure that I would enjoy any of their side trips.

We shall see.

On the topic of GUYS AND DOLLS's score:

I agree. It's one of the very greatest scores ever written for Broadway. And can you believe it didn't win the Tony for Best Score!

Irving Berlin won for CALL ME MADAM which is a good score but can't hold a candle to GUYS AND DOLLS!

I agree wholeheartedly! CALL ME MADAM has 4 or 5 great Berlin songs but I'm not crazy about the rest of it.

To the best of my research, Frank Loesser never won a TOny. His scores for HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS nor MOST HAPPY FELLA lost to other scores (OLIVER! and MY FAIR LADY).

Did he get one for being one of the producers of THE MUSIC MAN?

Of course, Frank Loesser and Abe Burrows won the 1962 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.

I saw many movies at the old Strand Theatre, including BEN-HUR, and when it was renovated as The Studio, I was there fro the first showing of WHAT A WAY TO GO which starred Shirley MacLaine. I guess it will be one more hole in the huge cavity that was once downtown Middletown. sad.

Kalman's operetta SARI is a terrible piece but it had a very good cast and a wonderful handsome leading man who was 20 years too young for the role of an aging egocentric violinist. He should be playing romantic baritone leads not unpleasant old farts.

Good Evening!

Besides the woman in front of me who proceeded to send text messages on her phone throughout almost all of the first half, it was a most enjoyable concert.  And the reason it was "almost" was because I finally put my hand gently on her shoulder during the second movement of the concerto.  As it was, it appeared to me that neither her nor her school-aged daughter wanted to be there... And they did not come back after the intermission.

*And the woman sitting next to me thanked me for giving the "signal" to the other woman. -Of course, the woman next to me would occasionally turn to her companion to share some observations.  Ah, well...

In any case...

The new Richmond Center Stage complex is a pretty nice complex.  We got there a bit early to walk around and check the place out.  The exterior of the complex is where most of the changes took place - at least the big ones.  Not only have the old Thalhimer's and Miller & Rhoad's store basically been gutted and "re-structured', but they also tore down "Sixth Street Marketplace" which was built on top of Sixth Street.  So, Sixth Street is back to being an actual street again which makes the full exterior of the Carpenter Theatre visible (from the street).

Inside, the Carpenter Theatre has been fully refurbished to it's former glory - along with new seats (very roomy and comfortable), and a re-built balcony and loge section.  But it basically looks, looked like I remember it looking - which is a good thing.  It's a very old-fashioned interior - sort of faux-Spanish, faux-Arabian(?) decor - lots of stucco walls, and almost-Crayola-like color palate.

Acoustically speaking, I think there's still some work to be done.  We had decent seats for today's concert, and while there was a nice bit of clarity to everything, nothing really seemed to "soar".  Not exactly a flat sound, but it could and should be more vibrant.  The piano actually got lost in the mix quite a few times during the concerto, but I think that could easily be fixed for the next pianist by simply placing the piano a little further upstage.  -They installed a "cloud ceiling" - which looks like clouds (semi-Ugh!) - and I think that might have prevented the sound of the piano from projecting over the orchestra.  And during the Berlioz "Symphonie Fantastique", I could tell that the sections of the orchestra that were sitting further upstage seemed to be heard more in the house.  -At least to my ears.  But, again, all in all, it was a good concert.

I ordered Volume One Gordon Scott - 2 Tarzan movies

Volume One - Three Lex Barker Tarzan movies
Volume Two - Two additional Lex Barker movies. [these are homegrown DVD's]

Volume One - Three Lex Barker Movies arrived and would not play.  The seller told me to send Volume One of the Lex Barker movies back and he would replace it.  I received the replacement yesterday - but it only had two movies on it....Tarzan's Peril with Lex Barker, the one I really wanted of all the Lex movies was not there.

I emailed the seller this morning.  And he just answered me.  I wonder what his response will be....

Well what do you know?

Jack, Thank you for your email. Your question has been given a lot of time and effort from our company. The 1st question we had was, "when I ordered Volume One it was advertised to contain 3 movies".
we checked the listing, here is the page you placed your order:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400069645809&ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT

It is clear you are a man of honesty and integrity, we looked at your feedback on eBay. Thank you for being a great eBay member.

What we believe happen, your 1st DVD case did say "Tarzan's Peril" was on the Vol 1. It was not advertised and was a mistake on you DVD case. We checked with production and confirmed this did happen on a few orders, as well with yours. we are sorry for this.

We try to do business with honest people and separate ourselves from dishonest people. This is the challenge of all eBay sellers. Jack you are one of the honest people. We would like to offer you "Tarzan's Peril" Free to thank you for being a great eBay member. We will ship ASAP.

If you have any questions please let us know.

During the intermission of today's concert, I tried to get backstage to see the pianist/soloist.  Well... I had spoken to one of the symphony's administrators before the concert - they were all in attendance today greeting everyone as they entered the hall - and she told me to "go through those doors and head straight back" to get to the Artist's Dressing Room.  So, I went through the "those doors", down a hallway, but then there were no other doors.  Well, there were doors that led right to the stage, but I most certainly did not want to make a surprise appearance. So, I headed back out to the upper lobby.  Did you make it backstage?  No, I didn't, but that's OK. I'll catch up with him once we're both back in NYC.

Then I got a text... "Are you coming backstage?"  So... I made one more attempt to find the Artist's Dressing room.  I went down another hallway this time and saw the signs to the dressing rooms.  That's when the guard stopped me.  Excuse me, do you have a backstage pass of credentials?"  Um, no, but I was sent back here by so-and-so with the symphony. Well, I can't let you backstage without the proper clearance.  You can go back to the lobby through these doors.

-Did you find your friend this time? No, but that's OK.

Then I got another text:  "Where are you?"...

Then came the phone call: "Stay right where you are. I'll come out to the lobby."

-By that time, intermission was about to end, and I did not want to be late for the second half of the concert, so... But Jeremy appeared a few seconds later, we said Hi, shook hands, hugged, I thanked him again for arranging the tickets, and I ran back upstairs to the theatre, and he headed to the airport for his flight back to NYC...

Of course, it had turned out that Jeremy and I had been playing a game of cat and mouse throughout the 15-minute intermission. He even went into the theater to find me where I was sitting - but I was already backstage for the second time by then.

*I guess I should mention that he even played an encore after his concerto performance, some Bach, from the fourth keyboard Partita.

In other matters, Richard and I have added a couple of destinations to our NYC agenda:  The Morgan Library and the Strand Bookstore.  We've been to the Morgan before, but it was at the end of a long conference day for me - we'd like to be able to explore more thoroughly.  And, we've NEVER been to the Strand.  Should we try to do both in the same day?  Would any NYC DRs like to go with us?

Both are doable in the same day.  Just wear comfortable shoes.  Also, while the Morgan Library is roomy, airy and spacious, the Strand is most decidedly not. *Frankly, unless you're really looking to buy some used books, I'd suggest hitting some of the other smaller used bookstores if you want to spend some quality browsing time.  However, the Strand is right off of Union Square, and if you visit on a Greenmarket Day (Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday).... -And it would be a nice tie-in with Ragtime too.

Wow, DR JoseSPiano - that was some meal!  Very interesting.

It really was.  As was mentioned in the post, the first time we went there, we were the only table that did not have the "sea worms", so... Luckily, our waitress - who happened to be the wife of the owner/cook - let us order a half-portion of the "sea worms" just in case we didn't like them.  Well, we did like them, but we were glad we only ordered a half portion since the rest of our meal came in such generous portions.

Well what do you know?

Jack, Thank you for your email. Your question has been given a lot of time and effort from our company. The 1st question we had was, "when I ordered Volume One it was advertised to contain 3 movies".
we checked the listing, here is the page you placed your order:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400069645809&ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT

It is clear you are a man of honesty and integrity, we looked at your feedback on eBay. Thank you for being a great eBay member.

What we believe happen, your 1st DVD case did say "Tarzan's Peril" was on the Vol 1. It was not advertised and was a mistake on you DVD case. We checked with production and confirmed this did happen on a few orders, as well with yours. we are sorry for this.

We try to do business with honest people and separate ourselves from dishonest people. This is the challenge of all eBay sellers. Jack you are one of the honest people. We would like to offer you "Tarzan's Peril" Free to thank you for being a great eBay member. We will ship ASAP.

If you have any questions please let us know.

I watched two Bollywood movies tonight, both horror films from the 1990s, and both remakes of American horror films.

JUNOON (1992) starring Rahul Roy as a man who kills a tiger on a full moon night in a rural area full of superstitious villagers. The tiger kills the man's friend and then puts a curse on the guy who will now turn into a tiger himself, during each full moon.

Remake of AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON.

PAPI GUDIA (1996) starring Avinash Wadhavan, Karisma Kapoor, and Master Amar. A doll from the 99 cent store is possesed by a child killer.

Remake of CHILD'S PLAY.

There are a few in the West Village - some just a few blocks away from Magnolia Bakery. ;)  There is also one on 18th Street just across the street from Academy Records - just in case you want to browse some used LPs, CDs and DVDs too.

Thank you, Cilla, you just reminded me that I have a pint of B & J's Karamel Surta calling my name.

I might as well have ice cream for dessert, since I had KFC for dinner.



Can we spell B-L-I-M-P?

During the period I was having my terrible physical problems, I first completely lost my appetite, but it eventually came back with a vengeance. DUring the time I was in such pain, the ONLY comfort I had was in food, and I decided I didn't care how much I gained as long as something was bringing me a little joy.

I know I gained about 15 pounds during the time I was trying to get over my malady because I couldn't really exercise for fear of making the problems I was having worse.

Now, I am able to do a moderate amount of exercise in addition to the walking six days a week, and the weight is SLOWLY coming off. But I made NO apologies for trying to find anything that could give me some comfort and pleasure.

But even then....it should end with the correct letter so it's a typo of an intentional misspelling...lol sorry Vixmom, but that made me chuckle

Well, they are stretching the plot point to the extreme, which is VERY annoying - one is waiting for a scene which will probably not happen tonight.  Stupid.

Yes, DR MATTH - price was a top consideration in my Tarzan purchases.  And yes all of the Lex Barker TARZANS are available from WB Archives.  I got all 7 movies for the price of one.

Finished with my viewing and have begun the long journey of the Beatles Box listening.  I'm currently on their first album, which sounds pretty amazing.

You know how you can look at something over a long period of time but when something's different, you don't know what's different?  Well, that's what happened to me.  I had boxes in my garage and at some point (as long as maybe a couple of months ago), I thought things seemed different, but I didn't know how, so I didn't really think about it.  My bad.  Well, I went to look for a specific musical cast recording in one of the boxes in my garage...most my musicals are in alphabetical order in eight specifically marked boxes (I do have newer theater recordings in my house and at work).  I was looking for Groucho: A Life In Song, because Frank Ferrante is coming to the Washington Center for the Performing Arts next Saturday (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/season/season_detail.asp?event_id=1095).  I'm ushering and I thought that I might be able to send the CD backstage to get his autograph.  So, I looked in box #5 (the first one that I saw) but that started in the Ls, so I looked for box #4.  I went around my pile of boxes and eventually found box #s 1, 7 and 8, but I couldn't find box #4...then I realized that I didn't see box #s 2 and 3, either!  And then I realized that a couple of boxes with DVDs are missing!  I looked all through my house and they're not there.  I know that I didn't take them out of my garage or give them to anyone.  I'VE BEEN ROBBED!  But I don't know when it happened. :-[

So...I need advice.  What should I do now?  Should I go to the police or call my insurance company first?  I know that there's no way that I can get anything back.  It really has been at least a couple of months.  I do have personal property loss on my homeowner's insurance, but will I have figure out everything that's missing?  WHY DIDN'T I REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED SOONER??

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!  :'(

I guess I'll do the jog in about thirty minutes and then call Grant to see if we're getting together because, after all, it's get together weather.

It's mighty fine weather, I hope that it stays!

Listening to the Beatles second album and finished re-reading my play, which I must say has some really funny dialogue and some touching stuff.  I can see why it would make some people uncomfortable (my friend Penny Peyser didn't like it because it made her uncomfortable, whereas my muse Margaret loved it, as did the folks who took part in the two private readings we did).  I'm thinking about doing another private reading but not with me reading the lead - I think I'd like to hear someone else read it.

In CLOSER news, I'm working on the launch of the episodes which will air in December. The first episode will see a new addition to the Brenda and Fritz household. A very small and furry addition. :-) I heartily approve.

Post by: Edisaurus on October 18, 2009, 10:38:46 PM
The first episode is pretty dark and intense, but the second one lightens up when Provenza is reunited with one of his former work partners to solve a case. In the interim, his partner had a sex change. May I say that Beau Bridges looks quite cute in a dress!

TCM in HD? Just in time for the crapfest I just finished. Of course, we made an HD version for home video, but I don't think TCM asked for one, so it will be interesting to see if it airs in HD.
