I have a souvenir book from 1776 that lists the same cast that DR ELMORE listed yesterday.
DR ELMORE I think my dislike with the show comes from my antipathy toward Mr Daniels - who is always so supercilious in interviews and in those television shows he appeared in .... which I read and saw many years before I saw the movie version of the musical.
Perhaps I just need to see a good production of it....or work on it.
I shall take your information under advisement DR ELMORE.
I shall take your information under advisement DR ELMORE.
When I was a grad student in 1970, Judy Collins performed at Miami University and I was so excited to see her because I loved her recordings. It was a very fraught performance: she seemed unhappy, not very communicative with the audience, and left the stage with no encores. For a long time I thought her the ridest performer I'd ever been unlucky to see. A friend of mine from school worked for her sometime between 1971 and 1976 and said she was a total bitch tp work for.
Sometime in the mid to late 1990s, Jonathan Tunick. who had scored several numbers for her, refudiated this. I had read about her son Clark's suicide and I started reading things she'd written. She wrote honestly about all of her marital problems, custody fights, and general misery in the late 1960s and 1970s: getting neurotic and paranoid, going through panic attacks and cancelling performances, and, when I finally met her around 2003, I found her a very kind lady, shy, gracious, and I forgave her for that concert. I'll never know what was going through her life in May 1970, so I guess I'm grateful for the time she gave that audience and I wish her well.

Hmmm... I wonder what kind of personal strife Vicki Clark has been going through then?

*That was for you DR JRand. ;)
OH, DR elmore! It appears you edited your response! And I missed your initial posting! ::)
*Does anyone know if they went ahead and cancelled - did not schedule - the performances of Silence: The Musical this past weekend since the WSMA was in London? Or did his understudy go on?

They aren't talking ;)
I'm up - at least I got a great eight hours - after Monday my plan is get nine hours a day to catch up.
Thank you one and all for the vibes and prayers for yesterday's test. Great strides have been made since the coffin like machine I was in ten years ago. This time I was like a hamurger patty and they slid me into this giant hamburger bun. It was pretty close quarters, but I could side out the sides of the bun and even look out a window. This pill I took did its duty, and I almost fell asleep during the test.
HHW Vibes are magical!
Glenn and I had dinner at a restaurant at Albert Dock. It took forever to be served and the food was just passable. Glenn ordered garlic bread. I don't particularly like garlic and at first turned down his offer to try some. He told me there was very little garlic, so I tried some-it was very good bread but hardly any garlic at all.
So then it was time for the concert at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. It was conducted byJohn Wilson, who's considered a young genius here (I think he's about 38 yrs old). Maybe some of the HHWs have head of him? He also conducts the "Proms" sometimes.
The show was a tribute to Lerner and Loewe and starred Anthony Andrews of Brideshead Revisited fame (and he played the prime minister in The King's Speech); Annalene Beechey, who starred in a touring production of My Fair Lady with Mr Andrews; Kim Criswell and our own Mr. Barrett.

Congrats, BK on being fully funded.
DS Rob arrived home about an hour ago with the great news that he's passed the practical phase of the national paramedic registry test. Now he just has to pass the written part and find a job!
I cannot reveal the things I know from Goodspeed, 1989. I'm keeping them for the memoirs.
And Miss Clark and Miss Collins are nowhere in the same class.
I knew I'd forgotten something! DR Cillaliz, kudos on a successful party! Will you make the society page?

Elmore, I know your feelings about Ms. Clark, and I am quite sure that they are valid. But not knowing a thing about the woman, I was truly moved by her performance in TITANIC (a show you also didn't like).
I just don't get it department: Herman Cain just stated on Fox News Sunday that communities should have the right to ban mosques, but that isn't discrimination based on religion.

No, lol, it won't be in the society page. I have a wonderful group of friends who I've known for the past 10 years. I've invited people to go out with me, but haven't had a party since I moved here. It was really past time to do it. Now that I've done it and it was so successful. I'll do it again, it will just be a smaller group next time so it isn't quite as much work

But seriously, so glad you had such a great time and that all went so well, Cilla!
Has anyone braved the crowds to go see HARRY POTTER yet?
TCB, I'm sure she understands. You're going through a very stressful time and she knows that. I hope you hear soon what the problem is and I hope the news is the best it could possibly be
Has anyone braved the crowds to go see HARRY POTTER yet?
I have never read a Harry Potter book. I have never seen a Harry Potter movie. I have nothing against Harry Potter, the genre just isn't my cup of tea
DS Craig is on his way home. I'm pleased he didn't have any of the bad weather we had. I don't know why I put on summer clothes this morning when it was only 63 degrees. I think/hoped it will be warmer when we take Sherlock for a walk.

When my friend, Stan, offered to lend me the first HARRY POTTER book, I thought he was crazy. But I took it home, and one day when I was out of books to read, I picked it up, and I instantly fell in love with the characters and the story.

Is Craig coming back early? Or have I lost track of time?
Good news from DR TCB!
So glad to hear that:
DR JOSE's shows are going well!
DR CILLA LIZ had a great party!
AND all about DR KEVIN's trip!

My dear friend who drove me to my appointment is one of the nicest people you could ever hope to know. If she has a flaw, it is that she tends to blurt out what she thinks, even when she should probably not say anything.
I have been living with this horrible fear of what might be wrong with me, but until I have told that the problem is not my back, I refuse to think about the other possibility. My friend had not seen me in the last four weeks, so she hadn't seen how badly my condition had become. With in the first three minutes of seeing me, she said, "Oh my God, it looks to me like you have ____. I ignored the first comment, but once we got into her car and were driving to the appointment, she said it twice more.
I overreacted. I told her quite loudly that the thought had crossed my mind, and others had mentioned it too; but until I heard differently from the doctor, I didn't want that word said outloud. I am very lucky that she didn't just dump me out into the street and leave me there. I have since apologized.

TCB, I find that people who care about you also have anxieties about your condition. Unfortunately, they often pass these onto the patient, which ISN'T helpful. I knew someone with cancer who would accept cards and emails, but avoided other contact, because she felt she needed to stay positive. I can truly understand this. Maybe it would help to think of a nice way to say how you feel about it and have that ready in case it happens again. And repeat it as many times as needed. Make it clear that further discussion is off-limits.
I just received a Facebook Post from my idiot cast member asking me if we will be following this week's schedule or LAST week's schedule?

I agree your friend understands and DITTO on the second part.
Good luck finding your previous MRI!!! How long ago was it?
I think the only movie I have ever walked out of was BROTHER SUN, SISTER MOON. There have been a lot of films that I should have walked out of, but that was the only one I can remember doing it.

Jane, Martin Clunes' character in DIRTY TRICKS isn't exactly a good guy. He's a rogue, although a rather charming one, IMO. The show also contains explicit sex, which some Amazon reviewers objected to.

Ten years ago.
DR Cillaliz - congratulations on the success of last night's party! I hope you're finding today very restful...

I loved a lot of "Titanic," especially the music but also scenes in the book. Saw it on the same Saturday as "Side Show," then in previews. Loved that one, too, despite its flaws.
I cannot reveal the things I know from Goodspeed, 1989. I'm keeping them for the memoirs.
And Miss Clark and Miss Collins are nowhere in the same class.
Elmore, I know your feelings about Ms. Clark, and I am quite sure that they are valid. But not knowing a thing about the woman, I was truly moved by her performance in TITANIC (a show you also didn't like).
You're right; I thought that the musical TITANIC was terrible: bad book, bad design, bad direction, and some beautiful musical numbers. As to the actress playing a role I assume was based on Molly Brown, I found her over the top and her character truly obnoxious. I'd have preferred less Hyacinth Bucket and more Meredith Willson. I kept hoping she'd drown by accident. I also dislike her continual reliance on the see-how-hard-I'm working school of acting. It was really over the top in the last CABARET revival.
A charming description. Just back from the movie. Satisfying conclusion to the series. Some genuine tear-inducing scenes. Wonderful seeing Maggie Smith back, even Emma Thompson, though they gave her nothing to do, Helena Bonham Carter, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, David Thewlis, Ciaran Hinds and the rest of those amazing actors. As good as the kids are, the movie belongs to Alan Rickman and Ralph Fiennes. Now, who's going to get them all back together in something else worthy of their talents?I have never read a Harry Potter book. I have never seen a Harry Potter movie. I have nothing against Harry Potter, the genre just isn't my cup of tea
When my friend, Stan, offered to lend me the first HARRY POTTER book, I thought he was crazy. But I took it home, and one day when I was out of books to read, I picked it up, and I instantly fell in love with the characters and the story.
I had the very same reaction; all the clerks at Barnes & Noble wondered why the first book was selling so well so we all determined to by a first edition, as well as all the subsequent ones so we could each sell a complete first edition set. A lot of those early books are probably beaten to hell by children now, and my complete set is very pristine. Once I bought it, I had to read it and soonevery clerk at B&N was addicted; it was like reading OLIVER TWIST rewritten by the author of THE WIZARD OF OZ
I think the only movie I have ever walked out of was BROTHER SUN, SISTER MOON. There have been a lot of films that I should have walked out of, but that was the only one I can remember doing it.I saw the first few minutes of that on video years ago and had a similar allergic reaction.
So, Cillaliz, ready for the next party?
DS Rob arrived home about an hour ago with the great news that he's passed the practical phase of the national paramedic registry test. Now he just has to pass the written part and find a job!Great news.
I've moved on to WIVES AND DAUGHTERS with the great Francesca Annis as the stepmother from hell. I didn't think I'd watched it, but as the first part unfolded, I realized I had at least seen a large chunk, if not all of it. I have no memory of the conclusion, so I'm going to keep watching. Excellent cast. I love Michael Gambon.He has a few choice scenes in the final "Potter".
Good news from DR GINNY about Rob!
In honor of National Ice Cream Day, we just had vanilla frozen yogurt topped with the bourbon-infused caramel sauce that I bought yesterday in Kentucky. Yum!

Where do you purchase your Magnums. I don't believe I have ever seen them.
Kickstarter/Amazon has charged my KICKSTARTER pledge....it is OFFICIAL.
They look good DR TCB. Do you prefer them to Haagen-Daz? I only eat the coffee bars with the crunch topping. I want to try a vanilla caramel cone along with a caramel Magnum.
Cilla what kind of cake?
'night
Well, the cancellation could very well have come from someone without a lot of money who was nonetheless trying to help out and once he/she saw the goal had been met, decided to keep their money.
