Title: UP-TO-THE-MINUTE
Post by: bk on July 21, 2004, 12:00:36 AM: Well, you've read the notes, you've seen the notes' minutiae, you're up-to-the-minute on the notes and now it is time to post until the up-to-the-minute cows come home.

Post by: Jrand74 on July 21, 2004, 12:41:37 AM: Yes the notes are au courant! Rehearsal update brings us right up to the minute.

Posts yesterday....DRROBIN (?) I also enjoy CARNIVAL STORY....Miss Anne Bancroft is blonde and looks nothing like a high diver....but I like to imagine that she is really Eve Harrington and this is the kind of movie she left Broadway to star in. A German version was shot at the same time with (I think) Curt Jergens and Hildegarde Knef - and they can be seen sitting at a table & dancing in the wedding scene. I love the "danger" music - and MB favorite Mr Steve Cochran is menacing in the extreme!

Post by: Tomovoz on July 21, 2004, 12:42:39 AM: Question for BK. Are you aware of the two compilation CDs available from Raven Rrcords in OZ - one of Jimmy Webb songs and the other of obscure songs and performances of Bacharach material. Do you have either or both - are they worth buying. Much cheaper for me to buy direct than through Amazon of course.
Title: Re:UP-TO-THE-MINUTE
Post by: bk on July 21, 2004, 12:49:45 AM: I'll have to check - definitely don't have the Webb, but have a ton of obscure Bacharach.

Streeting on September 7th is the classic Murder on the Orient Express, which has been newly remastered in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and Dolby Digital 5.1, and includes the new "Making Murder On The Orient Express" four-part documentary, the "Agatha Christie: A Portrait" featurette and the theatrical trailer.

Have either of you seen his film LITTLE SHEPHERD OF KINGDOM COME? I believe it is his only film role and he does a fantastic job in it! Two of my interviewees, Diana Darrin and Kenny Miller, are also in it and they had nothing but praise for Jimmie. I beliebe Kenny Miller is still in touch with him.

Wicked. Yes, I know Chenoweth has left the building, but a well-written show should survive a change in actors. And yes, I believe Wicked has a good score, not great but good, so part of the writing is there. Plus the only "spectacular" shows I've seen have been in London or on the road, not on Broadway. I'd like to see the Broadway people strut their stuff.

One of my absolute favorite Manhattan Transfer songs isn't really about food, but the word "food" is in the title: "Soul Food To Go (http://www.tmtfanclub.com/brasil.html)." It's funky, it's just a lot of fun! ;D The album Brasil (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002ILX/qid=1090420442/sr=1-10/ref=sr_1_10/103-4358801-4536629?v=glance&s=music) won a Grammy for Best Pop Peformance by a Duo or Group with Vocal!

"Hot Lunch Jam" from the movie FAME!

Post by: mrkdl73 on July 21, 2004, 07:40:26 AM: For my senior recital in college, I wanted to have a theme that was different than most others and I tried having food theme. When it came to finding songs, it wasn't that hard, but finding scenes from plays with good cuts and that didn't require a ton of props was difficult, so I abandoned it. But someday...

Another great Manhattan Transfer song that's almost about food but not quite is Java Jive. It's one of the first MT songs I heard and made me fall in love with their music and performances.

Post by: Emily on July 21, 2004, 08:01:12 AM: Good morning! Good yawning!

Yesterday I discovered Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream.

arghalaghraghalrgha

Today I plan on eating nothing but salad and other assorted "forget about the ice cream" foods.

My parents decided to go up to Quebec City for the day using their handy-dandy train passes and my grandmother just left for church and then lunch with her friends. My sister is working at her wading pool. So....

I AM ALONE AT HOME!!!! *DANCE DANCE DANCE*

Question for Ask BK Day: What is your favourite ice cream flavour?
Title: Re:UP-TO-THE-MINUTE
Post by: Stuart on July 21, 2004, 08:04:33 AM: Hmmmmm....food songs......

"Food Glorious Food," though not a favorite song, certainly fits the bill.
"A Little Priest," though not a food I would eat (no comments from the peanut gallery), also fits the bill.
"Ice Cream," though not about that treat directly, does impart the joy of the frozen confection.
And of course, my favorite from the land of chicken soup: "To Each His Consomme-ah"

But seriously folks.....

My question of the day, to BK and all other dear readers, is this:

I know that most of us feel that when one comes across a phrase or a word used in everyday conversation, it can trigger an association with a song, or even quotes from movies, etc. (Peter Filichia talks about this sort of stuff all the time.)

Recently, I was flipping through a font catalogue, looking for interesting typefaces for my season brochure. I came upon one that I have never liked (Brush Script), and I thought "No, that's the WHOREHOUSE logo font." I came to another (I think it is Murray Hill) and thought "Nope. A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC." So my question is this:

Am I the only one that has strong associations between typefaces and show logos?
Title: Re:UP-TO-THE-MINUTE
Post by: Dan-in-Toronto on July 21, 2004, 08:09:42 AM: Favorite food song:

"Ice Cream," from She Loves Me.

Title: Re:UP-TO-THE-MINUTE
Post by: MBarnum on July 21, 2004, 08:12:48 AM: Favorite ice cream flavor was always Chocolate Chip Mint.

Food songs? Hmmm...will really have to think about that one! I am sure there must be some.

Post by: elmore3003 on July 21, 2004, 08:31:18 AM: Well, right now I have no questions. Maybe later.

I just finished watching the last film version of NICHOLAS NICKLEBY, and in some shots Dame Edna looks like Marian Seldes! I enjoyed the movie a lot, which I thought was better than the same director's EMMA, which was too pretty and a little coy for Jane Austen. While I enjoyed it, I much prefer the A&E-BBC production with Kate Beckinsale.

Food songs:
Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy
Pie (Jerome Kern from "The Stepping Stones")
This Was a Real Nice Clambake
Ice Cream
A Little Priest
I Can Cook, Too
Chop Suey
Cause We Got Cake ("Too Many girls")
Remember that dreadful Gershwin song "Vodka" that Dorothy Loudon used to sing? Does that count?
Cherry Pies Ought to Be You
Worst Pies in London
If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd Have Baked a Cake
Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries

I don't have such a conscious association, but now that you mention it I know I strongly associate Tenderloin's typeface with that show. Mame's, also.

Typeface and overall design do make a lasting impression. I think the ugliest album covers - including typography - are for Henry, Sweet Henry; and Promises, Promises.

A Little Night Music's typeface captures the spirit of that show, but it isn't my favorite either.

Post by: William E. Lurie on July 21, 2004, 09:32:57 AM: The following was e-mailed today to members of the CASTRECL e-mail list (run by one time HHW interview subject Max Preeo):

Blakeslee and Minoff to Star in Kimmel-Directed Revue, What If?

By Andrew Gans

Bruce Kimmel, who produced dozens of theatre-related recordings for the Varese
Sarabande label, will direct a new musical revue next month in Hollywood.

Entitled What If?, the revue will begin performances Aug. 10 at the Hudson Main
Stage Theatre on Santa Monica Boulevard. Heading the cast are Forbidden
Broadway's Susanne Blakeslee and The Goodbye Girl's Tammy Minoff as well as Paul
Haber, Ryan Raftery and Alet Taylor.

The revue, according to production notes, is described as a "delicious romp of
musical parodies, plus songs written by cabaret and musical theatre songwriters
like Billy Barnes, Doug Bernstein and Denis Markell, Rupert Holmes, Tom Jones
and Harvey Schmidt, Leroy Anderson and Walter and Jean Kerr, Bruce Kimmel [and]
Mary Rodgers." The production answers such What Ifs as "What if Stephen Sondheim
wrote Bye, Bye Birdie and what if Rodgers and Hammerstein had written Assassins
and what if Frank Loesser had written The King & I?"

The creative team for What If? comprises Jose C. Simbulan (musical director),
Cheryl Baxter and Joseph R. McKee (choreographers), Eddie Adams (assistant
director), Melissa Ficociello (set designer), Amy Adams (costume designer),
Steven Pope (lighting designer) and Dale A. Cook (stage manager).

What If? will offer two preview performances Aug. 10 and 11 at 8 PM and will
then play Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM and Sundays at 3 PM through
Sept. 12. Hudson Main Stage Theatre is located at 6539 Santa Monica Boulevard in
Hollywood, CA. Tickets, priced $15-$20, are available by calling (323) 960 7784.

Post by: Matthew on July 21, 2004, 09:34:05 AM: BK - just how much were you involved with the production of Patti LuPone's "Matters of the Heart" CD? It lists you as excutive producer, what does that mean and how does that differ from what you had done in the past.
Title: Re:UP-TO-THE-MINUTE
Post by: Elan on July 21, 2004, 09:37:06 AM: Most recent favorite song about food: the MAC-nominated "Bumper Huntin'" by comedy trio Modern Man.

Other faves not already mentioned:
"M&Ms" from Violet (one of my favorite contemporary scores)
"Feed Me" from Little Shop
Guy Haines's Fish bonus song on one of the Lost in Boston or Unsung Musicals albums

I wasn't really involved at all. The project came to me and I shepherded it, and also gave my opinion of the master they sent me and asked them to redo it to smooth out the sound levels from track to track. It was Patti's deal all the way.
Title: Re:UP-TO-THE-MINUTE
Post by: William E. Lurie on July 21, 2004, 09:58:23 AM: As soon as the previous article was e-mailed to the list, the following reply was posted:

Doesn't this count vaguely familiar. Like maybe "The Musical Of Musicals"
recently at the York in New York?

Nothing like a fresh idea.

Brent

I countered with the following reply to the reply:

The two are totally different. MUSICAL OF MUSICALS told the same story in
the style of five different songwriters. The entire evening consists of
five mini musicals. Bruce Kimmell's "what if"s (which have been posted on
various websites over the years but never performed before), spoof one
specific show with new lyrics set to the tune of a song from a show by
another composer. Since each "what if" only lasts a few minutes, they are
more conducive to a revue format.

It seems that every time Bruce Kimmel's name is mentioned in an e-mail on
this list, someone has to make a derisive comment. At least see this show
before knocking it. Having read many of the "what ifs", I think you will be
pleasantly surprised.
I hope that's the only anti-BK reply I'll have to defend.

Post by: Matt H. on July 21, 2004, 10:04:28 AM: Typefaces from show albums can really become ingrained in your brain after awhile.

I'll never forget how wrecked I was with the typeface used for the movie of MY FAIR LADY. It just didn't seem to fit the classiness of the show. And then when the main titles come up on the screen, the title looked nothing like the typeface used on the soundtrack album.

Post by: bk on July 21, 2004, 10:07:30 AM: WEL: You might also inform them that my What Ifs have been around long before The Musical of Musicals was a gleam in the eye of its creators - and what's to say they didn't read them and what's to say they weren't inspired by them in the same way that South Park's creators have been "inspired" by my Nudie Musical, right down to ripping off its most famous line for their film Orgazmo.

Post by: JoseSPiano on July 21, 2004, 10:50:15 AM: Good Morning!

Well, what a way to start the day off... I got a phone call from the person who sent me the e-mail a couple of weeks ago informing me that I was no longer part of an upcoming project... -All that unseemly and unpleasant business... yadda-yadda... Well, this morning - well, he actually left a message saying he'd try me back in the morning on my cell phone last night, but it didn't come up until this morning - he calls me back to tell me officially, in person (well, at least in voice), that he will be using someone else. And, as I suspected, the whole decision was made a few months ago, but he just couldn't find the time to tell me until now. ?!?!?!?!?!! Of course, I had been trying to follow up with him on a regular basis since March... ?!?!?!?!?!?! In any case... *Did that make sense? Sorry for the run-on sentence fragments.

Not sure exactly how I feel about the whole thing... Well, I do... Just feeling lots of stuff... Pissed off... Frustrated... Kind of "oh, well..."... and still sad that I lost the gig... etc., etc., etc.... At least he knew I was in L.A., and he took into consideration the time difference when making his phone call so that he didn't end up waking me up at 6:00am.

And I also now know that it's just time to stop wanting to associate myself with that person/institution no matter how truly worthwhile my past dealings have been with them. It's just not worth it. So there!

Ah, well...

On the brighter side of things, I'm here in LA working with a bunch of wonderful people, on a wonderful new revue, and I'm having a great time all around. And I've even been running into friends I haven't seen in years in the barely two weeks that I've been out here.

And speaking of work...

Post by: JoseSPiano on July 21, 2004, 10:58:03 AM: Speaking of press releases... I was reading the one for R SHOMON which opens tonight up at Williamstown. It's the new Michael John LaChiusa piece. It's being directed by Ted Sperling who has been and still is quite a good musical director. However, none of the press releases I've seen list the Musical Director for this show.

So, to sort of rectify this situation, I'd just like to say that the Musical Director for R SHOMON is Brad Haak. He was the Conductor/Musical Director for the production of CHILDREN OF EDEN I just did at Ford's Theatre.

You would think that with a project as undoubtedly difficult and "tricky" as a LaChiusa musical, that the musical director would warrant some sort of mention. Heck, if I can get can mentioned in the "What If?" press release... ;)

Break a leg, Brad!

Since my boss also had to discipline one of my co-workers today, it was just as well that I took off early. Said boss appreciated all, and will be making up to me re the lost hours later on.

So I get to kick back and relax until dinnertime! Hoo and Rah!

Tomovoz do you still have the Jimmy Rogers 45? I’m sure I also had an album of his. I don’t know what happened to my records from when I was young. All I know is I wasn’t the one to dispose of them. >:(

Ann as far as I know it isn’t bad to eat after you work out. I believe it is good for your muscles to drink lots of water.

Bruce you get the feeling from the photos that everyone in the cast likes each other and they are all having a good time. It is nice to know it’s true. :)

DiT - my quote comes from that classic film ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN....it is somewhat truncated and I will correct it on my birthday when my name changes to Jrand54.....the actual deathless line uttered by Miss Allison Hayes to William Hudson (and written by Mark Hanna):

"I saw a satellite tonight."

I don't remember where ZIV was - we're on Santa Monica Blvd. between Highland and Vine, right at the corner of Hudson.

It's kind of a proscenium thrust. I like proscenium stages and always have.

Three months ago had I had that info I might have been able to do something about it and find others to do the switchover. But now, I'm too busy myself and we'll just continue to do our DVD thing right here. So, as of today, I've had them remove The DVD Place. I've asked that all the content be saved in case I want to do it at some point.

They do some of the great DVDs of really obscure things like Bonjour Tristesse and The Swimmer, and they do them right despite those titles having limited appeal. But Gidget they do Pan and Scan.

Yes, I thought it might be best to put a little distance between us. The co-worker can get highly in-your-face, and has been disciplined for that before this. I didn't see any sense in tempting the fates and provoking another incident. But the simple fact was, we had too many people at the store for the afternoon, and my leaving for the day helped us keep to our budget (and earned points with the boss).

Instead, I've brought home some study materials on cookware, so maybe I'll be better at answering questions on which pan is better than another. I really don't like bluffing on answers, making guesses and passing the guesses off as facts. I don't mind not being the best salesman on the team...but I'll be danged if I'm not going to make the others work to keep the current pecking order!

That unfortunatly is my least favorite, As a matter of fact I consider it one of the worse films I ever saw. I was five years old and it was one of the few films I was allowed to see in Montreal at time. At that age I thought it was dumb, stupid and boring. Not necesarily in that order.

Young children for the longest time were not allowed to see movies because of a terrible fire where many children died. It wasn't unti the mid to late 60's where the restriction was lifted.

It was all in fun and elmore would know I would laugh. I don't mind a good joke even if it's on me. If I did I would never have married Keith. :D Note all my :D and ;D in my last post.

Ask BK Day Question #1.

Are you aware of any forgein releases of cds that you have produced and do you have copies of them? Many years ago I saw forgein releases of some Michelle Nicastro's cd and Amazon sales a Japanese import of Superman.

Pictured below

I have most of the foreign releases, both from Japan and Hong Kong, but I'd never seen the Superman one, which is so obtuse that I like it.

Ask BK Question Day #2

Recently bought the Thunderbird Movie Set. How do they remaster the soundtracks from mono to DTS and/or Dolby 5.1? How can they keep the original director "vision" intact without changing it for modern audiences?

They have some way of taking the sound and faking it. Sometimes, though, they manage to find the stereo music tracks, so the music portion can be real stereo. They just spread it around as far as I can tell. As far as the original mix, be it mono or stereo, once they change it it is no longer the original film - the mix has been altered from what the director and his sound people had originally done. That's why the original mix should always be included.

ASK BK QUESTION DAY #3

So many DVD now have "Documentaries" as part of their special editions. Why do they break them up into separate documentaries or give you the oportunity to "PLAY ALL" If you chose the later you still have to watch multi opening and closing credits for each individual documentary.

Why not just make one long one with multi chapter stops so you can skip over the parts that do not interest you?

From what I understand, it's because SAG got involved and insisted that these documentaries not be feature length or something. So, they now break them up to avoid problems although I don't know that SAG prevailed in that particular bit of idiocy.

I remember buying some LPs in the early seventies which were re-mastered mono recordings, processed into this horrible fake stereophonic sound. It sounded muddy and distorted.

Luckily, there's been a lot of advances in remastering sound these days, but sometimes, these remastered movies sound terrible in their new versions. I'm thinking specifically of Jurassic Park, which sounds utterly spectacular on the laserdisc, but isn't very good on the deeveedee.

Post by: Sigerson Holmes on July 21, 2004, 05:38:55 PM: Blame it on my "one Trek mind," but BK's mention of Sol Kaplan's excellent score for "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" got me to whip out my "Doomsday Machine" soundtrack CD and look Mr. Kaplan up on imdb.

The CD's liner notes make mention of the lull in Kaplan's career during the '50s. He was blacklisted for refusing to name names for the HUAC. Still, imdb lists more than fifty projects he scored. It may only seem that he didn't do that many movie scores because his output was becoming less frequent during the time when soundtrack albums were becoming more popular. Is that possible?

Anyway, his two scores for "Star Trek," the first season's "The Enemy Within" and the second season's "The Doomsday Machine" contained some of the finest, most stylish and cerebral music written for the series. "Doomsday" in particular is memorable for its driving, throbbing theme for the menacing, funnel-shaped planet-eating device.

Der Brucer celebrates on the 8th of Aug, and I on the 17th. We traditionally call the period between "Birthday Week." This saves energy, because we don't have to shift out of celebrate mode during the week.

I'm sure that Jose will have A LOT of advice, parameters and guidlines to give in this area!

My number one rule for picking an audition song is:

"Sing something you know and that you love to sing."

Don't sing something you just learned. (Although some people have that knack...)
Don't sing something you think you should be singing.
Don't sing something just because it's worked for other people.
Don't sing something just because you heard someone else sing it.

There are songs you like.
There are songs you like to sing.
There are good songs.
There are good songs for you.
There are good songs for auditions.
There are good songs for auditions for you.

Know the difference. For yourself. Just because you like the song doesn't mean it will work for you. Just because you like the song doesn't mean you should use it for an audition (maybe for a callback instead).

-As they say in Avenue Q, "It's a fine, fine line..." Yes, it takes some trial and error to find the right material, but I've always thought that if there's any sort of negative stress and strain involved while finding and choosing and learning the material, then some of that "stuff" is bound to be projected in your audition.

I've seen many an audition where there is a sense of the singer singing "under duress". They're just not enjoying themselves. Yes, auditions are by their nature not a pleasant thing, but that doesn't mean they have to be dreaded.

And then there are the other considerations: style/period, appropriateness for the show you're auditioning for, finding the right 16 bars, acting, range, etc... But it all comes back to:

"Sing something you know and that you love to sing."

*And, actually - and sort of unfortunately - due to the run of What If? I will not be able to play the Fall SETC auditions in Charlotte, NC, this September. Anyone out there know anyone who would like to and can play for about 250 people in two days? ;)
