Post by: singdaw on June 13, 2014, 03:34:09 AM: Over the winter here there has been a series of car wheel thefts - the kind where you come out in the morning to find your car up on blocks, with all the wheels missing.
The local police are recommending installing locking lug nuts. Apparently it inspires said thieves to move along to someone else's vehicle.

Beyond that, I have very few plans. I expect at some point to hear from the Library of Congress about the McGlinnventory sitting at Toyland and when they would like to accomplish the move. I've got to spend some time ver the weekend finishing up the JUBILEE score so I can consider that completed before I pack up and move out.

DR Jeanne has a new car! Fantastic.

Last night there were complaints that what was left wasn't what they wanted. I told them there was still plenty at the store and $17 was my candy budget for the show.....although I did go and spend another $4 today so they can have something different.

Of course, a thank you would have been nice.....but I ain't gonna wait around for that.

Fiddler on the Roof fans, here's a great read about folks who've been in the show over the years, including Liz ("Ragtime Romeo") Larsen:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/theater_dance/50th-anniversary-of-fiddler-on-the-roof-reunites-tevyes-many-daughters/2014/06/12/cd909860-f122-11e3-bf76-447a5df6411f_story.html

Thanks for posting this! I was on that tour with Liz Larsen and Fyvush Finkel and the girls mentioned in this quote:

"Several groups of women who’d played sisters had plans to catch up over dinner the next night, and Lori Ada Jaroslow and Donalyn Petrucci Shreve hoped to see Liz Larsen, their sib from the 1981 revival, in her current role in “Beautiful.”"

That's pretty cool, Ryacko! And a nice article, John. Thanks for posting.

So, DR Ryacko, what stories about the tour do you have to share? About three years later was when I discovered Liz, who did a few shows at the Cohoes Music Hall. Great performer.

Post by: ChasSmith on June 13, 2014, 03:17:28 PM: DR Elmore, that really sucks. I'd also imagine it's difficult, with the new super being the son (if I'm remembering correctly?) of the couple you loved so much and had a great rapport with. But he really needs to shape up. Or somebody does, at the management company. Vibes for a really fast resolution. Late, but fast.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/theater_dance/50th-anniversary-of-fiddler-on-the-roof-reunites-tevyes-many-daughters/2014/06/12/cd909860-f122-11e3-bf76-447a5df6411f_story.html

Thanks for posting this! I was on that tour with Liz Larsen and Fyvush Finkel and the girls mentioned in this quote:

"Several groups of women who’d played sisters had plans to catch up over dinner the next night, and Lori Ada Jaroslow and Donalyn Petrucci Shreve hoped to see Liz Larsen, their sib from the 1981 revival, in her current role in “Beautiful.”"

That's pretty cool, Ryacko! And a nice article, John. Thanks for posting.

So, DR Ryacko, what stories about the tour do you have to share? About three years later was when I discovered Liz, who did a few shows at the Cohoes Music Hall. Great performer.

Oh, dear. The stories are endless. We rehearsed the first two weeks with Ruth Mitchell staging and Tommy Abbot setting Mr. Robbins' choreography. Then Jerome joined us and stayed through our opening in Baltimore, which kept us all on our toes. We let loose after that. :D

We ended up touring for about 7 months when the producers (one of whom was Mitch Leigh, of all people) had a fight and closed the tour. But we re-opened months later and played the NY State Theater for our B'way run, which Maria Karnilova returned to do. Then it was another year on the road. I was a double understudy for Perchik and Fyedka, later taking over both roles in different productions. Lizzie, of course, played Chava throughout, and beautifully so.

I did a third tour without Liz, but with many of our former cast mates. I ended up playing Perchik again and again over a span of 14 years, because the Tevye's just got older, so the kids had to be as well, so as not to look like grandkids. My last Fiddler was with Theo Bikel (at age 72) and Lainie Kazan.

Anyway, that's just background on the tours we did together. I'm sure I'll think of some crazy road stories to share.

Here are a couple of pics:

Me, getting to shake Jimmy Carter's hand backstage at the Warner Theater in DC, with Herschel and a couple of cast mates looking on.

It is what it is DR SINGDAW.

Although I must say that adding ONE convenience to the ladies' room so that we have a total of three instead of two has had a remarkable effect on the intermission time. We used to have to wait....but the audience has been seated and ready to go in 13 or 14 minutes instead of the usual 20.....

Did that just require punching a third hole in the floor?

TOD:

Yes, I could sure use me some TOD. Let's see...

Blu-ray:
ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS (I'll at least start watching it tonight)
RED RIVER (same)
THE MECHANIC (I think I'm most interested in seeing this one straight through tonight)

What else? Got so much music (CDs and LPs) to ketchup on, I can't even begin to name them.

Audiobook and DVD:
HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY -- I love this and revisit it every few years. Listened to the book on my last car trip, and am halfway through the BBC production.

If you are watching the BBC DVD of HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE, I believe you are seeing my friend Simon Jones.

Yes, the BBC DVD, and he's Arthur Dent! Excellent!

I have the BBC radio broadcasts on CD...all five stories. Love them! ;D
