Well, you've read the notes, you know how the show went, and now it is time for you to post until the Kritzerland Kows kome home.
-
And the word of the day is: CHAFFER!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I probably should go back to bed for another hour, but... We'll see.
-
But since I'm awake, out of bed, and on my computer, well...
-
bk - Congrats on yet another successful evening at The Gardenia.

And good morning, all.

TOD:
k.d. lang is still a favorite among pop singers. I look forward to hearing a new album of hers whenever it's available.
I can't think this morning.
-
Thursday morning greetings! Today I'm going to meet a friend at noon for a Vera Bradley tea party at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Cincinnati and then to Nordstrom's for some further mother-of-the-groom wardrobing. On the way, I'll visit with my mother.
-
Thank you to DRs Sam, Vixmom, and Jose for hand-vibes that I found this morning!
-
Good morning, all! The laundry is in the washers, I've had my first cup of coffee, and I am all caught up on emails, HHW, and Facebook. I want to finish the laundry by 9:30 am, so I can spend most of the day indoors proofing EILEEN Act Two Finale (Endless). If I finish it today, I can scan and send it tomorrow to London for corrections.
I'm hoping that most of next week will be taken up with profing the final edits before we being printing. I am still waiting for first edits on Overture, 2 Entr'Actes, Finale Ultimo, and the appendix version of the Act Two Opening.
When my laundry goes into the dryers, in about 10 minutes, I will tidy the apartment. I won't vacuum before 9 am, snce I don't want to disturb the neighbors, so I won't do that until the laundry is back in the apartment. After that, I will call my barber for an appointment tomorrow. And that's my day
DR vixmom, were you logged on to Facebook when you tried to watch the video?
DR Jose, I'm sorry to hear about the cast injury. I hope casting a replacement goes well. From the auditions, weren't there a few who sinmply missed the replacement jobs by a hair? Couldn't they be contacted about stepping in?
As for the TOD, I have a whole list of favorite Broadway and opera performers, many of whom are on the Victor Herbert songs. As to pop singers, my faves, if they're still working, are over the hill like me.
Or dead.
-
TOD:
Who are the Broadway and pop singers of today?
:-\
Truthfully, I prefer the Broadway and pop singers of yesterday.
::)
-
So, they did the medical procedure yesterday, but I won't know the result for a week.
I got home about 2:30, then slept until 6:30, got up for a light dinner, then was back in bed at 9. Slept until 7 this morning.
-
And the word of the day is: CHAFFER!
Natalie Schafer shouted to her chauffeur, "Who was that chaffer who shoved off with my chafing dish?"

I can't think this morning.
I adore k.d. lang's voice but I wish she had a better ear for selecting her material. I buy each and every recording of hers, but I give it a listen and onto the pile it goes, rarely to be heard from again. Her songs do nothing to me. I wish she would just do something like a Cole Porter songbook or a disc of standards.
-
Glad you survived, Druxy. Vibes for good news!
-
Congrats to MR BK and CO for their successful show last night!
-
DR DtM - I think DR JOSE is correct.....a cowboy drifted around from job to job...and cowman owned the herd and the land....
The Farmer tilled the ground.....the cowman just let his cattle eat what was there......he also wanted his cows to roam around....while the farmer had to fence in his property...
One man likes to rope a cow....the other likes to chase a plow....
-
TOD:
Josh Groban.....
And shall have to think of some others.
-
Vibes for a good report to DR Druxy!
-
TOD:
k.d. lang (yes, I'll still list her as one of my favorites.)
Harry Connick, Jr.
Suzanne Vega
Kelli O'Hara
Audra McDonald
Madeleine Peyroux (another one who needs better material)
Sade
Adele
-
Continued vibes for all for aches and pains and troubles.

One man likes to rope a cow....the other likes to chase a plow....
Yes, that's what I'm thinking, that cowman is short for cattle man. And since it's Andrew who starts the song, it would make sense that he would use that term. And further playing into that, later in the song Aunt Eller (a farmer) sings: I'd to say a word for the cowboy and The farmer should be sociable with the cowboy, perhaps in a pejorative use.
Of course, everyone sings Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters which is neither here nor there...
-
All good points DR DtM.....and things I have thought about when I have done OKLAHOMA! - three times.
-
I kind of like Katy Perry in the pantheon of the BIG SINGING STARS of today.
And I like John Stevens as well.
-
John Stevens cd RED is the only American Idol CD I bought....well I bought two...Elliot Yamen....but his sounded like it was done in the basement.

WELCOME TO PAGE TWO!!
-
I'm up - barely. I'm very tired but have to get awake quickly and be on my way to the lab.
-
Whew I am back into my size 38 pants.....now I am headed for 36.....
-
LAB vibes for MR BK.
-
I posted the Kickstarter link again on my Facebook this week.....
-
Okay, I am all set for 9:30 tomorrow morning for my barber. I have t put away the laundry and get to work.
-
I don't have to make an appt. with a barber.....I just have to really scrub when I shampoo....

DR ELMORE - the director asked for some "20's" music for her preshow and intermission......and even though the play takes place in 1924.....guess what I put on CD for her?

DR Jose, I'm sorry to hear about the cast injury. I hope casting a replacement goes well. From the auditions, weren't there a few who sinmply missed the replacement jobs by a hair? Couldn't they be contacted about stepping in?
DR elmore - We do have a few good possibilities/back-ups lined up already. The big wrinkle was that the person who left the show and the new swing were already replacements for ensemble members who did not return for this engagement. Thankfully, we do have an "emergency swing" on-call should the need arise over the next few weeks.
-
Well, back to decluttering.
-
And now...
I need to get ready to head back in to Arena. We have a few hours of fixes and tweaks to take care of this afternoon, and then we have our final (invited) dress rehearsal tonight at 8:00.
-On paper, the past two-and-a-half week rehearsal process really did seem "fast". And, well, yes, it was. The tech rehearsals over the past two days kind of caught me off guard with how smoothly things went. Since this is a remount and all the staff and crew are the same, I guess it was supposed to go smoothly. However, this "new kid on the farm" is still getting his footing. Anyhoo...
Laters...
-
The Arena........stay away from the vomitorium!
-
DR JOSE....did they set a new date for your conducting Day-Boo?
-
TOD:
Most of my favorite pop singers of today are from Pakistan or various Arabic countries.
I don't denounce any English language pop singers of today, there are likely some wonderful ones out there, it is just that I am not familiar with them.
As for Broadway....of course, Tom Wopat.
Opera I don't know from, except that some of the singers are quite nice to look at if I am to judge from the pictures that DR Elmore has been kind enough to post for me! ;D
-
For those willing to experience it, here is a music video of one of my fave Egyptian pop singers, Hisham Abbas. Fun song and fun video...also, I have heard from my Iraqi friend that this singer is a "friend of Dorothy's," if you get my drift 8)

Great news about the Gardenia
-
Of course I also like the vocal stylings of Mr Guy Haines.
-
oh, Guy Haines, how could I have forgotten! Him I know, and him is a favorite.
-
Which reminds me, even though I will miss the Gardenia show in October by a week, I do hope that there may be some rehearsals going on that I can attend.

My favorite used book seller, Abebooks, just sent me a promotional email titled "More bleak books." How depressing!

Sleep is good. Is this procedure also known for false positives? Something to think about if you don't know the answer.
GOOD NEWS VIBES!!!

Ah, der Brucer. Now there's a name I haven't heard in ...a long, long time.

You know what I cannot figure out? My my brother Randy, who I think is a reasonably intelligent man except for his political views, would support for the presidency Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin, so I asked him why he would want a president who's dumber than he is.
Then, seeing this, "Having the Senate declare that millionaires should share more of the pain involved in putting America's financial house in order is "rather pathetic," Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) declared Tuesday," I don't understand how a Republican with my brother's income would want to be in a party with this attitude! Do poor Republicans really think the wealthy need all these tax breaks? Isn't it kinda like a Jew voting for Hitler?
I wonder as I wander out under the sky, I guess!
End of rant.

DR JRand60, you can always tell us about CAMELOT or your favorite "Iowa Stubborn" couple. Your rumnations delight and amuse me. I can't vouch for any other DR.
BTW, did you know that this week the complete London cast album of MUSIC MAN is being released with a n appendix of cut numbers sung by Meredith Willson?
-
Oh is this the London Cast with Mr Red Socks Van Johnson?
I think I bought that one.....the one I have does have some samples by Mr Willson, but I got it earlier this summer.
-
Well.....first act stumble through tonight.....if enough cast members show up....I am sure I will have something to report afterwards.
Mr Farmer from Iowa Stubborn is playing the doctor in CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN.....but generally walks around our rehearsals annoying the young girls.....I also notice that he friends all of the young ladies that I have on my friend's list.
At first I thought he knew them, but I now find out that he searches them out and sends a friend request, and because he knows me, they allow the request.....I have put them on notice to defriend him if he keeps asking for hugs.
-
Miss Morgan Le Fay did try on her sexy dress last night.... and I got into the picture as well. ;D
-
As you can tell - if you remember - it's a much different style of dress (and actress) from our previous production.
Lancelot and Arthur are at the piano in the background.

That earlier release, which I also own, wasn't the full London recording, so I'm happy to get the complete one now.

Back from the lab and then a sandwich an no fries or onion rings. I cannot jog in this heat so will do the four-mile jog between five and six.

Any increase in the KickStarter funds this week?
-
And now I am off to rehearsal.....I hope to be home before midnight.

The sound layback went extremely well and easily. It didn't really need any EQ as that would have caused more problems than it would have solved. It sounds better than the DVD and as good as it's ever going to sound considering it's never sounded very good. We fixed the little rubbery synch in the intro to the first musical number, and we had to use the end credits song from the DVD, as for some reason there were a lot of little weird jumps in the transfer of my print. We also realized that the trailer on the DVD is different than the one I had the negative for, which had no sound. So, we'll use the original Paramount trailer from the DVD and probably upscale it for the Blu-Ray, and the other trailer we'll include without sound, just as an additional extra.

Additional extras are always appreciated.

I just sent the Kickstarter link to Scott the director of BRAINEX INDIANA.....maybe some more cast members will see it there and cut loose a few bucks.

I recommend not beheading the actors until after the show has closed.
-
Good Afternoon! Good Evening!
Well... After another couple of hours of rehearsals and another couple tweaks and fine-tunings, I'm currently sitting in the theatre - the very quiet theatre - just enjoying the calm and silence... Except for the sound of my fingers typing away at my MacBook's computer as I post here in HHW. ;)

Which one? We have four of them! Four! Count 'em, four voms!

DR JOSE....did they set a new date for your conducting Day-Boo?
DR JRand - I will be the one to set the date for my conducting Day-Boo. Today's detail work on some scenes really helped me out.
Our Curly and Laurey did not join us until the second week of rehearsal, and because of that, I'm a little "behind" on the opening scenes. As soon as they were thrown back into the mix, I was usually playing dance rehearsals in the other room. It wasn't until our first run-thru in the rehearsal hall that I had even played through the Opening and "Surrey".
I did watch the archive video a couple of times, but sure ain't the same thing as watchin' and list'nin' to it live.
*I also need to continue futzing with the keyboard book for my sub (who will play when I conduct). I'm still adjusting settings and voicings after - and sometimes during - each run with the full cast and orchestra.

DR MBarnum - I thought you were going to ask for a shirtless version of that pic. ::)

Otherwise...
I'm trying to decide if I want to make a quick trip back to NYC this coming Monday, or just enjoy the day off here in DC. I will be back up on the following Monday, so... We shall see.
-
I took a trip downtown to check on some legal papers that the bank seemed to have made a mistake on.
Ok. That sentence was a grammar nightmare. Too bad.
-
And now...
I think I'm going to venture out for a bit to stretch my legs and a get a bite to eat before tonight's Invited Dress Rehearsal. -Which, apparently, is "sold out". :)
Laters...
-
Break legs, Jose!
-
Whew! I am back from a fun day in Cincinnati. Met my friend Patty for a Vera Bradley tea party, then went to Kenwood Towne Center for a couple of little errands and a 2-hour session at Nordstrom's. I have now been professionally fitted for unmentionables and will look fabulous in my mother-of-the-groom outfit. All I need now is shoes - I'm thinkin' black patent sandals...

How long until the wedding, Ginny?

-
I vote for #3, but I like them all.
-
I am leaning towards number three, as well - it seems cleanest and most like a blu-ray cover that really pops the title, and it's the only one where I think the quotes really work, although I'll make "Newsday" and "Judith Crist" in slightly larger type. I've added number three (severely cropped to the dimensions Kickstarter demands) to the Kickstarter campaign.
-
I like number 1 -- the red curtain makes it look like a musical.
-
I like number 1 -- the red curtain makes it look like a musical.
I've gone back and forth about the first one - I now don't love all that stuff on the steps and the steps just seem to take up too much space and the art itself is minimized because of it. And since the word "musical" is in the title, I think that's pretty clear - interested in other comments - they're all very helpful.
-
I like number 1 also.

Nope. Our legal papers got sent to some random stranger.
-
Hey everyone. Nothing to report. Just working on 4 - count them - 4 shows at the moment. My gig bag is heavier and heavier as the day progresses. The Wiz opens and closes next week. I'll be glad when that show is done. It is really not my favorite show at all. I hate playing it, because... DUH, I'm WHITE and have NO groove or improv skills whatsoever. I'll get by, the kids are great, the band will be fine (keys, guitar, bass, drums, sax) -- and we'll have a good time. But never again!
And I do enjoy working on Curtains quite a lot. I find it witty, fun, and it's definitely a lost treasure. Of course, it's over-scored, and over written (vocally)

Versatile clothing is always best DR GINNY.
DR ELMORE that is Lancelot....aka Charlie from last year's NEVER TOO LATE.
Thanks to all for the nice comments on the photos.
-
I ended up liking the third choice best because even though I like the red curtains......it might be a bit misleading.....the NUDIE MUSICAL production in the movie is a movie and not a stage show, though someone new on the block might think it's about a NUDIE STAGE SHOW....not a NUDIE MOVIE MUSICAL.....if you get what I'm saying.

This is Eleanor on the left who is Lady Anne (Kayla as Lady Sybill on the right)....she also played Mrs Paroo in THE MUSIC MAN.
Last night when someone said something about ....bring on the stunt man......I started to say "Your stunt c##k is here"......until I remembered where I was.
Today Miss Eleanor says she remembers seeing TFNM at the theatre back in the day.....but she can only remember one line....and that is....Miss Diana Canova's line: "Eet's just so beeg!!" ;D

DR Jane, I "created" one from a cobalt blue chiffon skirt that I found at Nordstrom's and a 2-piece sparkly top from Draper & Damon's (online) that coordinates perfectly. I can also wear those pieces with black pants on our cruise.
A blue chiffon skirt over a black pair of pants? ;)
-
LOL DR CILLA LIZ.....cruise wear always was understated.
-
I like number 1 -- the red curtain makes it look like a musical.
I like number 1 best too.
-
And it is time for to go to bed....DR JOSE must still be in "notes."
-
I really should have finished the garage tonight, but just couldn't bring myself to do it....so the recliner won out.
-
It's supposed to rain a lot in the next week, so it looks like I'll finish the garage tomorrow night, if it isn't too hot, humid or raining....
-
I ended up liking the third choice best because even though I like the red curtains......it might be a bit misleading.....the NUDIE MUSICAL production in the movie is a movie and not a stage show, though someone new on the block might think it's about a NUDIE STAGE SHOW....not a NUDIE MOVIE MUSICAL.....if you get what I'm saying.
That was my thinking for preferring #3 - but I do like them all. A tough, excellent group of choices
-
just wanted to sign in
but I have been under the weather suffering from bronchitis and have been sleeping away the day and now I have to go to sleep hopefully to get eight hours.
I will catch up tomorrow hopefully
-
I hope you feel better in the morning, Michael S.

Ditto to that!

Good Evening!
It was nice to come home from rehearsal to find this as the lead story on Playbill.com right now:
Still Doin' Fine: Arena Stage Revives Its Hit 2010 Oklahoma!, Starting July 8 (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/152504-Still-Doin-Fine-Arena-Stage-Revives-Its-Hit-2010-Oklahoma-Starting-July-8)

*Alas, my name is spelled with an accent - José - which probably means that it's spelled that way in the program. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.
-
Nope. Our legal papers got sent to some random stranger.
:o ???
That's how I feel, Jane.
Alas (part 2), due to a clerical error in Arena's payroll office, the same thing happened to my paycheck today. :-\
-
Otherwise...
We had a very good final dress rehearsal earlier tonight, as well a great invited audience! -And we're sold out through Opening Night next Thursday! -And at about 80% for the two weeks right after we open. :)
-
Thanks for the update DR JOSE.
You're welcome DR JRand.
-
Today I shopped and now I'm ready to drop - 'night!
Shopping is always a good reason for dropping. ;)
-
And it is time for to go to bed....DR JOSE must still be in "notes."
DR Jrand - I was.
-
Hey everyone. Nothing to report. Just working on 4 - count them - 4 shows at the moment. My gig bag is heavier and heavier as the day progresses. The Wiz opens and closes next week. I'll be glad when that show is done. It is really not my favorite show at all. I hate playing it, because... DUH, I'm WHITE and have NO groove or improv skills whatsoever. I'll get by, the kids are great, the band will be fine (keys, guitar, bass, drums, sax) -- and we'll have a good time. But never again!
And I do enjoy working on Curtains quite a lot. I find it witty, fun, and it's definitely a lost treasure. Of course, it's over-scored, and over written (vocally)
DR Matthew - So... The Wiz, Curtains... And what are the other two shows you're working on right now?
-
Otherwise...
I'm trying to decide if I want to make a quick trip back to NYC this coming Monday, or just enjoy the day off here in DC. I will be back up on the following Monday, so... We shall see.
Give yourself a break & relax. :)
DR Jane - Well... Part of me would like to take that break and relax in NYC. ;)
-
I like #3 too.
-
And on that note - a high G#...
Goodnight.

My new favorite.
Mine, too. :)
-
I think we're pretty much a go on number three - I'm having him do one last alternate version of number three with her title costume in the same red as her lips - I didn't like it in gold, but red might be fun, although the black is elegant and does stand out just fine.

Honk! Jr. and You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. I like YAGMCB, and at the moment, I'm indifferent to the other. But it's a paycheck :)
