Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a phase, and now it is time for you to post until the phased cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ANODYNE!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Chas - yes, it's the Westchester Broadway Theatre.
The tiers of tables there works rather dazzlingly for this production, as does the thrust stage - a matching of the production with the right venue and a pretty darn perfect cast.
(Chas - What was meant by the "avert your eyes" comment?)
-
Health vibes to DR Dan M!!!
-
More vibes to vixmom
-
(Chas - What was meant by the "avert your eyes" comment?)
Larrry is not a fan of Titanic the Musical.
-
Sending good vibes out there for a good week for all of us!!!
-
Good morning, all.
A pretty good sleep was had.
Peet's Coffee!
-
Good morning, all! I'd rather be back in bed, but I must get to physical therapy. The storms last week kept me away, and I need the exercise and the walking lesson. If things get terrible, I'll head home.
Yes, I admit it; I detest the musical TITANIC, which I thought was an enormous and ugly bore on Broadway. I saw it the day after it opened, and the only drama on that stage happened while the orchestra played Jnathan Tunick's orchestrations. There were some beautiful musical moments, but nothing seemed to be in sync with the oner elements.
-
good morning to all
-
DR singdaw cleared his throat and said:
Glad you are home safely, DR ChasSmith, and that you enjoyed the show. But your report did not mention Trumpet 4. :)
I only wish I had the golden ears with which to pick Trumpet 4 out of all that brass splendor! :) The trumpets have a few uniquely thrilling moments in this show, such as the "Boom Boom" rideout and the Act I finale. To my ears, everything was played to perfection.
Man, what a score. They sure don't write 'em like that any more. (Duh.) I was thinking "I've Got Your Number" has to be one of my favorite songs and arrangements ever, right now, and that includes its treatment in the overture -- which also must rank as one of the great ones, for my taste.
-
My favorite orchestration in the score is the reprise of "The Other Side of the Tracks."
And I just discovered another mouse in the traps. That's two in two days. I am not amused.
-
Monday morning greetings! Cold here in SW Ohio again today, but at least there's no snow predicted until the end of the week.
-

Yes! That was incredible.
And now I believe it's time for Mouse Be Gone vibes for DR Elmore.
-
Cold in Manhattan also (21 degrees) but the ice is more dangerous than the cold. Be careful out there Larry!
-
Monday morning greetings! Cold here in SW Ohio again today, but at least there's no snow predicted until the end of the week.
One forecast here calls for "some snow" on Thursday. Whatever that's supposed to mean. But they don't know any better than we do.
I realized yesterday that I had just reached the point (which probably happens at a different time every year, depending...) at which I am officially sick of winter.
-
That's because this one came early. We were freezing our royal arses off in early November, as I recall, and then the crappy storms started rolling in in early December. That's when you know you're in for an ugly long one.
Yes, watch those patches of ice! They were especially treacherous at the corners in midtown yesterday. I think that stuff gets packed tighter and harder than diamonds.
-
Yeah, DR ChasSmith, winter started here on December 6, which is way too early for southern Ohio. I was over it before Christmas.
-

Thank you! I really need Mice Be Gone Vibes!
-
Checking further, I find predictions for this next one starting Wednesday night, with snow changing to freezing rain and then rain (which never does us any good at all) on Thursday, accumulating several inches of pure unadulterated ugliness.
Yes, Virginia (not to be confused with our own DR Ginny!), there is pure unadulterated ugliness in the world.
-
I suspect they are happily ensconced inside the apartment walls, breeding and sneaking into any apartment they can access. It's amazing, too, how quickly they start smelling ncethey're dead. This rodent was dead for less than 10 hours.

No enormity in the production yesterday. And the look yesterday was gorgeous. Don Stephenson (who staged this) and Liza Gennaro (who choreographed) seem to have approached this with such long-time love, and the happiness that the look of the theater is so right for the show can't be an accident.
-
Morning, everybody!
Very interested to hear what the new release is going to be. Still hoping that the lunches with Terri White means that we'll be seeing something with her voice on it soon (I can't keep wearing out my "Finian's Rainbow" cast recording forever, y'know). If she's going to insist on continuing to abandon her East Coast fans, she should at least give us something new...
-
Further re TITANIC - Or at least I''d think such savvy people selected the venue (with its thrust stage and tiered look) carefully.
-
Hmm, did I mis-spell Genaro vs. Gennaro - i see two different spelling in the show materials.
-
DR TCB are you saying you have had to go down staircases! ???
-
Good morning, all.
Mice begone vibes for Elmore.
Water come back vibes for Ginny.
-
Saw Titanic about halfway through its run. I think they had worked on the show since it opened, much in the same way they worked on Nine. Love the scores to both.
-
I like a lot of the TITANIC score.....but I have only seen one really BAD production, so I can't say whether or not I like the show....
-
My viewing was also at a "dinner" type theatre, although it was a matinee....
-
I haven't had my best Valentine's Day yet.....
DR ELMORE....maybe you need to borry a KAT for a few weeks.
-
DR George I was exhausted reading your Star Wars saga. :D It might be interesting to watch them in chronological order.
-
Greetings from Amtrak Train 125. I was on Train 95, which was supposed to leave at 10:35 am. However, it's delayed till 1:10 pm. Luckily Amtrak is honoring tickets on this train.
-
Water vibes for DR Ginny!
-
I also loved Little Me. Some of the people on those message boards were critical of the leads but I thought Rachel York and Christian Bale were great! And Judy Kaye just makes me laugh whenever she opens her mouth.
Not to mention the fantastic orchestra!
-
I forgot to mention The Tribute Artist. I also enjoyed that very much. Charles Busch and Julie Halston were hilarious!
-
Mice-be-gone vibes for DR elmore!
-
And my last show of the weekend was a little know production called, Chicago, the Musical. Hey, I haven't seen it for over a year! I've probably seen it about 15 times over the years.
I'm not too sure about Bebe Neuwirth. I guess I've been used to sassy women like Carol Woods in the role of Mama Morton. Bebe's singing is not what it used to be. I'll leave it at that! I wasn't too impressed with Bianca Marroquin (sp?) in the role of Roxie Hart, but Amra-Faye Wright was very good as Velma. And Billy Flynn was great, not surprisingly!

Thanks for the water vibes - it may be back...
-
I'm up, I'm up, barely.
-
Most excellent vibes and xylophones for health, mice, and whatever else is needed.
-
Yay, water!
-
I saw the first two STAR WARS movies when they were released, and then I gave up.
-
Well my computer has been overheating and shutting down, so I bought a new one.....it should be here in a couple of days.... I bought an HP with a TouchScreen.....it has more processor speed and a 1 TB hard drive....
So I will have to reinstall all of my programs....and all that happy stuff....so it should be an interesting week.
I finally got my DWTS song edited correctly.....had to take about a minute out of the recording, and that's not always easy to do.....with my limited ability and tools.
-
I saw Titanic in the very last weeks of its Broadway run. The production was a mixed bag, but I do love that score.
-
I also loved Little Me. Some of the people on those message boards were critical of the leads but I thought Rachel York and Christian Bale were great! And Judy Kaye just makes me laugh whenever she opens her mouth.
Not to mention the fantastic orchestra!
Some of the foolish comments about Borle really pissed me off: he had a week - one week - of rehearsal, not 4-6 weeks to polish a performance. If he were that good after a week of rehearsal and tech, think how amazing he'd be in a full-scale revival. I thought he was really funny.
And I am home from physical therapy. On th bus home, I sat across from a Caribbean nanny who was feeding this little tiny boy a bagel. The kid was adorable and she was so wonderful with him. I wanted to run over and paste a gold star on her forehead.
-

The cast sounds wonderful.
-

I like moments of the score. Don Stephenson was in the original production, and he's directed the show for the St Louis Muny and possibly other places.
-
DR elmore3003 - are you sure you don't have a grudge against the original production just because Victoria Clark was in it? :)
-
Thank you, DR ChasSmith, for providing the photographic evidence of yesterday's mini-HHW reunion.

May be why he has such a good grasp on it for this dinner theater production.

I'll bet he was wonderful, and would be great in a production!
It's City Center and Encores that invites the critics to the first paid performance (Wednesday) after the dress rehearsal, rather than letting them come on Thursday or Friday, isn't it?
And it's City Center and Encores that chooses to allow Talkin Broadway to let its users post views of the dress rehearsal, which the TB administrators don't allow for any Broadway show.
I do wish for the sake of the performers, that when people post their unofficial "reviews" they would say how early they saw the Encores show, though.
-
We evaluate performances after a week of rehearsals at all of these one-week only events, and they are charging close to Broadway prices. Isn't it $105 all the way up to the mid-mezzanine?
-
Encores is sounding like it is to me what V. Clark is to Larry. OY!

If this is what "dinner theater" can be, pass the chicken marsala and pour me another Diet Coke.
:)
-
My chicken dish was one actually served on the Titanic, according to the menu.
The recipe, not the actual chicken.

Thank you for that clarification. :)
-
DR elmore3003 - are you sure you don't have a grudge against the original production just because Victoria Clark was in it? :)
No. I thought she wasn't good and too poorly directed, but the direction over all was really bad. I found the book emotionally cold, as was the direction, the scenery truly ugly, some of the other casting problematic and I'll mention no names. I also had friends in the cast who were good, and - in some cases - underused. I also think that some of the songs were placed poorly in the libretto, like the duet for the Strauses which didn't work for me. Musically, the show sounded great, and there were some wonderful musical moments, but I felt there wasn't much of a show there.
-
I think the show got an undeserved boost because it was onstage at the same time the blockbuster movie was in release and gaining lots of press......
-
I am stunned to be reminded that Christian Borle pulled this off in a week. Good lord.
-

Yep . The reviews were not good. I saw it the day the reviews came out, and I thought the cast was amazingly up and energetic.
-
Jrand - TITANIC also won five Tonys, including Best Musical. Supposedly, the Best Musical and best Play prizes are said to be the only Tonys which almost always have a great effect on box office. (In addition to Tony Danza, of course.)
-

Barrett Foa? Something like that.

I think appearing on Rosie's show helped a little because she loved the show and talked it up quite a bit. She also had "There She Is" as well as the Strauses song on her show.
Can't remember the other nominees for best musical, except that Aida was not one of them that year.

Titanic (which won for Best Musical but Richard Jones, the director, was not nominated for a Tony); Juan Darien (Julie Taymor director); Steel Pier (Scott Ellis director); The Life (Michael Blakemore director); Walter Bobbie won the Tony for directing the revival of Chicago, which is now starring Barret FoBrenta (or something like that) as Billy Flynn
-
It feels like the nominators and the voters must have been at odds for the Tony. The nominators were stingy to TITANIC, but the voters gave it every award it was nominated for.
-
So did Titanic the musical open before or after the movie?
Titanic the Musical opened in April of 1997 and Titanic the Movie was released on December 19, 1997.

Today is Jimmy Durante's birthday.
Question: Does anybody here recall a play about Durante that was done in a Los Angeles Equity Waiver theater back in the 1970s or 80s?
I recall seeing it in a theater, I believe, on Melrose, and (I think) Al Mancini played Durante.
Anybody remember anything else (e.g. cast, playwright, year, etc.) about the show?

Thanks for that answer, Ben and Larry.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS. CALABASH WHEREVER YOU ARE! I would be interested in learning more about this show as there has always been the family legend that my paternal grandfather (who resembled The Great Schnozzola) was related to Mr. Durante as they both came from the same area of Naples.

Yay, water!
Great news!

Good riddance to the mice vibes AND

MESSAGE TO BK:
In an anodyne moment, I found a typo on the Kritzerland website:
On the page for "Album Produced By" (http://www.kritzerland.com/albumProducedBy.htm), the line reads, "Book will ship around the thid week of April."
I mention this, anodynely of course, to keep DA (dear administrator) Bruce spruced up (on his website at least)!

Hmm, I was sitting here in my recliner in our sunny family room and fell fast asleep for an hour...

DR George I was exhausted reading your Star Wars saga. :D It might be interesting to watch them in chronological order.
Don't...too many spoilers...and not in a good way...unless you've already seen them all. However, if you've never seen any of them, I would recommend watching them at least in the order that they were filmed and released. But watching Episode VI (RotJ) last is a great ending to the whole series.
-
Well, this is pretty cool...if you like football: Michael Sam could become NFL's 1st openly gay player (http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/sports-general/20140210/Missouri-Gay.Player/)!

Count me as one who loathed Titanic - sorry. I saw it very early on in previews, when it was truly awful - if you don't like the finished product, you can only imagine how dreadful it was before they "fixed" it. At that point, several songs were not orchestrated, and I know they were changing certain songs daily, including whatever Vicky ended up singing. I HATED the duet at the end and that, of course, never changed. I also saw it early in the run and it wasn't that much better, frankly. I knew several in the cast, and discovered the wonderful Jennifer Piech, who I hired immediately to sing on one of our albums. But yes, there were some nice musical moments, as elmore says - I didn't like the opening that everyone seems to think is one of the greatest openings in history - it's loud, I'll give it that, but loud does not, for me, mean great. I do like No Moon, and I like the orchestral suite we did on my Titanic album.
-
Printed up four copies of the book, had a meatless Cobb salad and some tap tap tapioca pudding, brought one of the printed copies to Muse Margaret, picked up one little package, and now I'm home and prepping our release, which we'll announce tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow night is our first meeting/rehearsal for the Dancing With The (Putnam County) Stars.....where I will be assigned my partner.

I went to IMDB to see what each number represents. It just seems wrong that the original SW is now lV ;D Bryan was just a baby when it was released and we had to get a baby sitter so we could go see this movie everyone was talking about. It exceeded my expectations.

As I understand it, George Lucas had originally envisioned 3 trilogies. "Star Wars" was released without the Pt. IV in 1977, but that was added later. I think because it wound up taking so long to make the original trilogy, then the prequel trilogy, when Lucas sold the rights to Disney, it was with the idea that "others" would make the concluding trilogy, Parts 7-9.

If these were at the Minnesota State Fair they would be deep fried as well as being on a stick! And of course, they could be since the Pillsbury Doughboy is right there and Pillsbury is based in Minnesota! Both Pillsbury and General Mills have their HQs in MN. One of our neighbors worked for Pillsbury when we were growing up and he used to bring home new products and samples and pass them out to the neighborhood (especially the kids) to get reactions. I remember seeing Pillsbury Funny Face Drink Mix long before the general public and we also saw two that got changed after some negative comments. It went from Chinese Cherry to Choo Choo Cherry and from Injun Orange to Jolly Olly Orange!

I like the deep-fried idea! At the stock show and rodeo, which is going on right now, they're selling that bacon burger on a donut bun again. Sounds too ghastly sweet, but people are eating 'em up.

I know you meant "chronological as in the time frame of the story," but if one has NEVER seen any of the movies, I feel that they should not be watched in chronological order, in my humble opinion (IMHO, in Internet lingo). :)
However, if one has seen all the movies, watch them any way you want...backwards for all I care. ;)

Off the top of my head: "No Moon", "The Blame", and "The Proposal / The Night Was Alive" are my favorites. I do like a few sections of the opening, and some other moments, but I'd have to look it all over to come up with specifics.
EDIT: And pretty much the entire orchestration.

Page five? Really?

The potential Abner was excellent - we're going to ask him to do it, but he is going to have to make a solid commitment - he does occasional film and TV and I don't want that being hung over my head during this production. It's a really short commitment, though, just three-and-a-half weeks start to finish.

I like Billie Hayes's performance in the movie as Mammy Yokum. Can't forget Stubby Kaye!

TOD: I would say my most memorable Valentine's Day was the one where DR Sandra and I were in a bar in Palm Springs (after one of Jason Graae's shows) with DR Kerry, Jason, and his fella, and Sandra and I were were outed as lesbian lovers by a group of drunks.

TOD - our best Valentine's Day was 29 years ago when I had a prenatal ultrasound and we heard AND saw DS Rob's heartbeat.

The DH is practicing making Sidecars. Don't ask me why.

Oh, my! :o

And on that note (F#), I'm off to my sister's. She has some (one?) keychains for me! And I have the Star Wars trilogy for her.
Be back later!

Some good news today...
Have an interview at Valley City STate. Drawback is distance.. it is 55 miles from FArgo.
I am still applying for some other jobs and I have a few more apps out there.
Congrats and good luck on the interview! And Yikes...55 miles is a LONG way to commute.
Many vibes for a successful interview. I listened to a great many books when I had a commute slightly longer than that.

Vibes he can do it.

Came home today to discover that the mailman had brought a CD that I've wanted for some time: Percy Faith's recording of Subways Are for Sleeping and Do I Hear a Waltz? I delayed buying it from Amazon for so long that it went out of print. Then the first couple of used copies I tried buying online were never mailed out. Go figure.
Anyway, I had Waltz on vinyl when I was a teenager. Loved it. And now to hear it again after 30 plus years is just a reminder of why this really is my favorite Richard Rodgers score.
-
Found my invoices for a piece on Asian noodle bowls that I did for Texas Monthly. Now, if I knew how to submit them, I might have a little money coming back to me.
-
My favorite orchestration in the score is the reprise of "The Other Side of the Tracks."
And I just discovered another mouse in the traps. That's two in two days. I am not amused.
neither are the mice

...and our water's off again...
oh Ginny I am so sorry

Water stay on Vibes for Ginny

How's your dental situation, Vixmom?
-
I also loved Little Me. Some of the people on those message boards were critical of the leads but I thought Rachel York and Christian Bale were great! And Judy Kaye just makes me laugh whenever she opens her mouth.
Not to mention the fantastic orchestra!
Some of the foolish comments about Borle really pissed me off: he had a week - one week - of rehearsal, not 4-6 weeks to polish a performance. If he were that good after a week of rehearsal and tech, think how amazing he'd be in a full-scale revival. I thought he was really funny.
And I am home from physical therapy. On th bus home, I sat across from a Caribbean nanny who was feeding this little tiny boy a bagel. The kid was adorable and she was so wonderful with him. I wanted to run over and paste a gold star on her forehead.
This made me smile
-
Has there been a musical about the sport of curling? Or a movie?
There has been a movie "Men With Brooms" It is a Canadian movie and very funny

Thank you for asking John, I am actually doing quite well. I have not taken any pain pills, not even advil, in over 24 hours. I slept well and the swelling is almost gone
-
Tomorrow morning I meet with my oncologist - it's been 5 years since I finished my treatments - this is the 5 year goal post I was looking for... very excited to be going (except for the standing on the scale part)
-
Well I got to get up this morning and clean ice and snpw off the front deck and steps, three cars and a driveway...
I agree Cgas I an definitely ready to be done with winter
-
I stopped at the movie theatre on my way home and bought my ticket to see Romeo and Juliet on Thursday - I got a 30% discount for showing my "starpass" card at the National Amusements Theatre

All the best with that. I met with my kidney doctor today. It was two years ago this week, I had the operation. He's pleased. I see him once more this year and next, and then we'll go on an every-other-year schedule.

thanks for the good thoughts...
I am chuckling at a freind's kids. She grew suspicious when they became unusually quiet. Her suspicions were confirmed. Her three-year old was practicing artistic self-expression on his sister with permanent markers. She is well decorated in reds, greens, blues, purples, yellows and black on her legs and arms.

Yes! That was incredible.
And now I believe it's time for Mouse Be Gone vibes for DR Elmore.
Mouseless in Manhattan
-
I love TITANIC the Musical.
-
DR TCB are you saying you have had to go down staircases! ???
A few.
-
And my last show of the weekend was a little know production called, Chicago, the Musical. Hey, I haven't seen it for over a year! I've probably seen it about 15 times over the years.
I'm not too sure about Bebe Neuwirth. I guess I've been used to sassy women like Carol Woods in the role of Mama Morton. Bebe's singing is not what it used to be. I'll leave it at that! I wasn't too impressed with Bianca Marroquin (sp?) in the role of Roxie Hart, but Amra-Faye Wright was very good as Velma. And Billy Flynn was great, not surprisingly!
Did they have a newcomer playing Billy?
-
I love TITANIC the Musical.
You're a man of good taste.
-
Good night, all.
-
I saw the first two STAR WARS movies when they were released, and then I gave up.
I only made it thru the first STAR WARS.
-
Jrand - TITANIC also won five Tonys, including Best Musical. Supposedly, the Best Musical and best Play prizes are said to be the only Tonys which almost always have a great effect on box office. (In addition to Tony Danza, of course.)
Tony Danza?
-

Why thank you, John. The same to you.

I've seen "Frozen" now - everyone can rest easy

I've seen "Frozen" now - everyone can rest easy
And?
-
I haven't seen Frozen.
-
I haven't seen Frozen.
Yeah, but do you have 300+ students asking if the music teacher has seen it? :)
-
I guess there will be no FROZEN review.
G'night!
-
I have no students and not a one of them has mentioned Frozen.
-
Frozen was good. I'm not a fan of Idina Menzel, so it was hard to watch/listen to her character. The music is fine, the style of animation is not my favorite, everyone's eyes are HUGE. The snowman was cute. I fail to see the hype, as I do with anything that is hyped.
-
Now that you mention it Matthew, I agree with you about the eyes...what's that all about? Otherwise, I did enjoy "Frozen." I also enjoyed seeing it in 3D.
