TOD:


At a dress rehearsal (not an actual performance, thank goodness) of Man of LaMancha, I was supposed to look across the stage and see my Aldonza for the first time - only she wasn't there. She had gone out to get a drink of water at the water fountain in the hall, and the stage door had locked behind her - she couldn't get back in! I had to improvise for at least 2 minutes while this was being sorted out. Felt like the longest 2 minutes of my life. But I stayed in character!     :)

I liked DR SINGDAW's story......

TOD:  Many funny things.....but....

During the finale of 42nd STREET one evening at Putnam County Playhouse, my cousin Brad who was playing Billy was getting ready to go on, and he said "Oh, my pants button came off...."   I tried to hold him from going onstage until I got a safety pin, but he said: "I have to go, I have a lift coming up...."  So off he went.....  Less than 30 seconds later the audience started laughing, and I knew what was happening....  Yes, it was the tap dance with no pants on.....

I had the first line after the number which was one of the biggest laughs I have ever gotten.  I came out and declared:  "What an opening!"

We all survived.

This happened to me.
Many moons ago I was playing L.A. in "Gypsy". We have a quick change when the young chorus boys morph into the older ones and the Eggroll Mr. Goldstone scene. On the first matinee performance one of the techs moved my costume and my prop. Well I found the costume but not the prop. I missed my entrance. Luckily my friend was playing Rose and she told me to come in with her. Well we entered through the bathroom together and there was laughter.

When it came to the missing prop I was supposed to give Louise a stuffed cat (which she later sings about in "Little Lamb". I improvised by saying I had a stuffed cat to give to her but I lost it.

On Broadway,

The musical On the 20th Century. Imogene Coca was in one of the state room and she was supposed to leave and the door handle came off in her hand. She tried to get out as the action progressed in the next state room. She then stepped off the set and snuck around it. The audience laughed and applauded much to the wonderment of the other actors.

I hate the "fake" stuff. I remember in Will Rogers Follies. Mrs. Rogers was downstage right doing something. (No longer what it was) and in the middle the dogs (from the dog act) run across the stage and the actress playing the part breaks character and laughs. Of course this is done at every performance.

TOD:


A friend of mine had a gig playing one of the two organ consoles on either side of the stage for the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular. Most people don't know it, but only one of the two consoles can actually control the pipes at any one time. So when you see two people playing, one of them is faking it. My friend and the other organist used to take turns doing the "real" playing, throwing it back and forth.


In any case, it is a factory - many, many shows each day. One performance they were playing the "pre" music, when just as they were to conclude and the show was about to start, everyone heard a tremendous C-R-A-S-H from behind the show curtain. Immediately, the stage manager's voice came through over his earphone...   "KEEP PLAYING!"        ;D

I can't think of anything too exceptional that I've witnessed myself.  But I have always been extremely fond of PETER PAN disaster stories -- some of which I suspect are apocryphal, but which are hilarious ideas nonetheless.

I don't know if I will see you today before you go, so here are the vibes in case I don't!
Title: Re: THROWING CAUTION TO THE WIND
Post by: Druxy on November 16, 2013, 07:43:31 AM
TOD:

Here's a short section from my new book, LIFE. LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD: More of My Wacky Adventures in Tinseltown, which certainly addresses BK's "Topic of the Day":

Undoubtedly, the most outrageous stage flub I ever witnessed was
in a performance of The Desperate Hours, presented at an Equity Waiver
theater in West Hollywood. This was a play with which I was familiar. Not
only had I seen the national company perform it when I was a kid in Seattle,
but I am a fan of the 1955 movie that had starred Humphrey Bogart,
Fredric March and Arthur Kennedy.

I was at this new production because one of my publicity clients,
Larry Pennell, was playing the Arthur Kennedy role.

Based on a true story, The Desperate Hours by Joseph Hayes is about
a trio of escaped convicts, led by Bogart in the movie, who take over a
suburban household and hold the family hostage, as they plan their final
getaway. In the William Wyler-directed film, March played the father and
Kennedy was the chief cop trying to catch the criminals.

In the play’s climactic moments, one of the convicts has been killed,
the police have surrounded the family’s home, the wife and grown daughter
have been brought to safety, and the father (March) has just forced one
of the remaining convicts, played in the movie by Robert Middleton, out
of the house into a hail of police bullets.

As the Middleton character is ejected from the house, he drops his
gun inside. The father retrieves the weapon, and then goes upstairs to
confront the Bogart character, who is still holding March’s young son with
a gun that he doesn’t know is not loaded.

I don’t recall the names of the actors who played the convicts in the
Equity Waiver production I saw, but the father was Don Dubbins, a skilled
performer and a familiar face on episodic television, but perhaps best remembered
for a couple of films he made back in the 1950s, Tribute to a
Bad Man
starring Jimmy Cagney and The D.I. with Jack Webb.

Now, picture this:

In the performance of the play that I attended, Dubbins forces the
convict (the Middleton character) out of the house, but the actor playing
that role neglected to drop his gun. Dubbins, after desperately looking
about the stage for the absent prop, now must mount the stairs and confront
the Bogart character without a weapon.

Knowing the play as well as I did and realizing what had happened,
I cannot express how badly I felt for Dubbins at that moment. In what
should have been the play’s most intense scene, he was now forced to
ask the Bogart character “nicely” to release his son and get out of his
house.

I encountered Dubbins at a party a year or two later, and reminded
him of that incident, which he said was the “most painful” moment he’d
ever spent on stage.

I need to rise up off of my arse and get some things done around here today, especially with such beautiful weather.  For instance, getting further along in reorganizing the garage and basement.  They've been neglected, and gotten further messed up, with all the activity surrounding the installation of the generator.  Should get out and blow some leaves, too.  (Sorry, those who hate the sound of leaf blowers.  There ain't no other way to keep up with them in these parts.)

Good morning, all!

TOD:  Oh, lord, where do I begin with these stories?

One of my favorites came from being on tour with FIDDLER ON THE ROOF with Herschel Bernardi as Tevye. I was just out of school and was cast as a double understudy for Perchik and Fyedka, as well as being in the ensemble. They decided to break up the Fyedka understudy (the regular Fyedka did both the scenes and the Russian solo in "To Life") and give the Russian solo to another young strapping actor with a great voice.

Well said young actor was party boy and the first time I went on for Fyedka, he was, of course, to do his first solo. He stood up on the table in the appropriate moment, sang out the long high G that begins the solo, held it nice and long, then proceeded to pass out and slide down the solid "Inn" wall behind him. Two of us grabbed him by the shirt to keep him from falling completely, and I jumped in to sing the rest of the solo.

By the time the solo was done, the passed out actor had awakened with a startled look on his face, jumped off the table, and finished the dance with Tevye. Then, he ran off stage horrified.

The best part was seeing Herschel's jaw on the floor as all of this unfolded.

T.O.D.


When I was doing When I was playing THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, we were using one of those old wicker wheelchairs, and it gave us countless problems.  Near the end of the run, during the scene with the actress, she crossed stage left and I was supposed to follow her.  I had just started rolling, when there was a big clunk, and one of the big wheels fell off the chair.  That was bad enough but the wheel kept rollng along, and eventually ran right into the actress' rear end.  There was nothing we could do, the audience was hysterical, the actress was hysterical, and I just sat there.

We took the bus - $8 apiece each way with the senior discount - a great deal!  We didn't sign up for anything special, but both ways our boarding passes were marked for easy-check.  You don't have to remove your shoes or inner jackets and electronic devices can stay in your bags.  They did swab my hands, I suspect because I'd replaced the plug-in air freshener when we left the apartment.  Must have mimicked GSR!

I can't think of anything too exceptional that I've witnessed myself.  But I have always been extremely fond of PETER PAN disaster stories -- some of which I suspect are apocryphal, but which are hilarious ideas nonetheless.

Nothing like video evidence, though:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_kx3byv8ow

Ah, that never fails to amuse.

What is the deal with the Classic Christmas Albums this season?  Barbra has The Classic Christmas Album; Neil Diamond has The Classic Christmas Album; Johny Cash has The Classic Christmas Album; and Martina McBride has The Classic Christmas Album.  And there are others.

THey're combinations of songs from previous albums, maybe with one new track. Sort of like Barbra's greatest Christmas hits ...

Congrats on the TSA Pre-Check, DR Ginny!  I hope I'll have it again next time I fly.  I looked at the website and saw that not all airlines are participating, though, Southwest being one.

And not all airports either.  Our little one doesn't participate.


That's because of all those Communist actors going in and out of Ashland.

I am half way through a 500+ page book. And I don't want to stop reading it. The book came out less than a month ago. But it's a very popular series. And I've tried very hard to avoid any spoilers (apparently there are a lot around).


The book is Allegiant (the 3rd book in the Divergent series).

I hope DR CILLA LIZ posts her commercials on the inner web for us to see.

I will as soon as they are done.   Yesterday they emailed the web ads and the JFK vignettes for me to proof.  They had two major mistakes and I pointed that out.  The response was that I'd get a revised version but I haven't seen it yet.  So, I don't know what is going on with that.   The 30 second commercial I'm supposed to see by tomorrow or Monday.  I really don't know right now, but I haven't mailed a check to anyone so it is what it is

Had a very busy day.  I ended up buying a painting, I wasn't planning on it. But I went to a show of local artists and the wife of an artist who passed away was showing some of his work.  He was very well known here in town.  Anyway, I've done a number of speaking engagements for a group the wife belongs to, so she said if I picked out a painting she'd give me a good deal.  I already have one of his paintings, so I picked out one that is very dramatic and totally unlike the peaceful mood I'm usually drawn to.   I like it but still have to get used to it.  I think it will end up at the office, but right now I have it at home

I also put up the plastic over a door and a window in my laundry room.  They get the coldest in the winter and the plastic makes a huge difference.  I also cleaned up some leaves from the street by my house.  It's supposed to get windy tomorrow and they would have been all over my yard if I hadn't taken care of them.

I practiced my flutes for a couple hours.  I've got two flute choir performances and two concerts with the concert band between December 8th and the 15th with different music for all of them.  I'm glad my shoulder is holding out so I can play.  I love playing the Christmas songs.   One of the flute choir performances is at a pioneer village. Last year it was really cold, so I just went home after we performed. I'm hoping the weather will be better this year so I can wander around and see the village

Had a very good working rehearsal.  Started at the top of the show after a brief chat with the cast and for the next four hours I stopped and started, worked quite a bit on phrasing and intentions, smoothed out some stuff, and we put back two of the cut numbers - one of them is now close to working very cutely and one needs attention but if we nail it it will be very fun indeed.  I gave it a whole new set up, new entrance music that helps define what it is we're doing with the number, and now it's up to one of the actors in it to get with the style of it.
