Good question!
Love the original, and at this point I don't even remember what I liked or didn't like about the new version. But I can say that one of my nightmares was being asked by the director to "take down" (is that what you call it?) (transcribe?) some sequences in the new arrangements. Oh my god. I will have to have a few drinks sometime before taking out my notes to see just what the hell I came up with.

In the first revival, the threw out the original ending. Then in the revival BK recorded, they cast only one woman as Belle, which wasn't nearly as funny as having two while one man played seven or eight.

Why can't you get it from your computer? It would make sense that you could do it either on your nook or computer (the same way you can buy an e-book)
Last night was redemption, but this afternoon, I hit it out of the park!! The whole show was near perfection.
He could use it as a comparison in the book. "This place doesn't belong in Texas...it tasted like Washington BBQ"
And I am home from physical therapy. Today the 15 minutes on the bike nearly killed me. I have no idea why.
The other day, DR TCB or JRand63, possibly another, asked who was alive from the FOLLIES origin cast. On my bus ride home, I sat behind Mr John McMartin, s I can definitely report he is alive and listening to his iPod.
I've had a bit of lunch, and now I all wait for the plumber and the super.
And begin the Encores! work.
...
So, DR Ginny, it's the post-holiday slump affecting our therapy?

Sorry to hear about DH Richard, Ginny.

Thanks, DR John G. He's fine, just tired.
Listening to the OBC of 110 in the Shade - so nice to hear a score when you can finally put it into context.

From DR Jennifer:QuoteWhy can't you get it from your computer? It would make sense that you could do it either on your nook or computer (the same way you can buy an e-book)
My original Nook downloaded all the library books from my computer and this one only from my Nook. I was puzzled by that as well when I first got it. I prefer the way it is so I can get my books if I'm not home.
I just got the funniest and longest email from Anthony Morelli so I know all the real dish on the Midwest Trek that he and our DR Ben are on. Sounds like they are having one helluva good time.
I am looking forward to the Sondheim documentary since I have [free] HBO now.
I just watched the MAKING OF THE SOUND OF MUSIC....and I beginning to feel the way DR JANE wrote last week.....seeing the kids in their auditions and sort of watching the process is making me more excited about the show.
.....I just hope they are really doing the musical script and not making a lot of fake build ups to commercials......
If it makes you feel any better, DR Elmore, I found my 30-minute basement walk more taxing than usual today, too. Hadn't exercised myself in more than a week.
I wonder what John McMartin listens to on his iPod...
If it makes you feel any better, DR Elmore, I found my 30-minute basement walk more taxing than usual today, too. Hadn't exercised myself in more than a week.
If I went that long without walking or excising I would be extremely grumpy. Of course I didn't have to work over Thanksgiving either.

The article in TV Guide, or was it Entertainment Weekly; said they were not interested in remaking the movie, but wanted to present the original Broadway version on film.
The publisher has given us an extension on the deadling until Jan. 6. Guess that means no Christmas holiday for me. But it also means less stress. So I think your vibes worked.

I figured my 2 solid days of housecleaning counted as exercise, but they were followed by 4 days of mostly sitting around and eating a lot of the wrong things.

I gather they are performing the stage text with the substitution of "Something Good" for "An OrdinaryCouple."" My biggest fear is that it's directed by the vastly overrated Rob Ashford.
Well, I am saved from the feeding frenzy that is Zbiddy. I tried to register and it told me that I was already registered, so Isigned in and was told that they never heard of me. Fate has dealt me a good hand.
Happy Monday, all!
The Kritzerland show last night was such a wonderful evening for us all! Thanks to everyone who sent good wishes and good vibes.

For all the Sondheim fans out there, a lengthy piece from Frank Rich in anticipation of his documentary, Six by Sondheim:

Agh!!! Not Rob Ashford!!!! In "So Long, Farewell," the Von Trapp kids will be standing with their bodies facing right, while their heads face the audience and they'll slouch in faux Fosse poses and slink sideways. It's the only step he knows. He did it in "Promises," he did it in "How to Succeed." He must be stopped.

I wondered about that song substitution - thoughts?
When I heard Ashford was directing, I thought, this could either be good or as bad as watching a major train wreck, but either way, it's going to be fascinating and a must-see!

Some think it's better than the original song. I never liked the original much, but it's hard to write a romantic duet for a couple whose romance is so low-keyed and secondary. The Captain and Maria could never sing "Tonight" or "If I Loved You."

Except I'm going to a pig roast that night and will have to miss it.

I once heard a minister preach against the song "Something Good" because it excluded the notion of grace and favored good works instead. I don't think I went back to that church. May have been the Methodist church in Middletown when I lived there.
So it wasn't DR JANE....well...maybe I dreamed it.
I agree with DR GEORGE that the lifts and dancing at the party is certainly unnecessary....
I am hoping they go with commercials during the scene breaks...but we shall see. And the first couple of scenes with Maria and the nuns and the Mother Abbess go on FOREVER in the stage version....so I hope I can stick with it until she gets to the Von Trapp house.....and yes I know it's Audra MacWhatsherface....that is no inducement for me....more of a distraction. Non-traditional casting gets into my hair.....what's next? Unisex casting.....why can't a MAN play the Mother Abbess?
I don't really care that they are using Something Good instead of An Ordinary Couple....it's probably a better fit for the singers they have.... And I hope we get both of the Baroness and Max songs....they are both listed in the CD song list.....

MAJOR CRIMES is back! I. Love. It.
I went a little crazy on Cyber Monday. I started buying Bali insulated cellular shades for my house about 5 or 6 years ago. I have lots and lots of windows so over two years I covered maybe 1/2 of the windows. Well today they were on sale for 50% and I could get 6 months same as cash and free delivery, so I bought all the rest. It's a lot more than I wanted to spend, but they really do help keep the house warmer and I've been here for 7 years now. Time to finish the window covering. I can't wait until they get here

Came home to discover that UPS left my new 40-inch TV on the front door step. I guess I didn't have to sign for it. But they can't leave a box of alcohol without my signing for it. Go figure.
