From the "I have a really crappy memory" department...last night, I wrote that I had only been involved in one show that had to cancel (after BK wrote about the cancelling of "Inside Out" due to the suicidal squirrel).  That's not true.  The most recent one was just last year when we only had two people in the audience of our added 10 pm show for "Chamber Music" and we asked them to come back to a later performance (they did).  But when Theater Artists Olympia did their first "Cannibal! The Musical" and a couple of years later when we did "Reefer Madness," each of those shows had cancelled performances.  "Cannibal!" was cancelled because of a power outage, and "Reefer Madness" had two, count 'em, TWO performances cancelled because of snow.  We didn't actually want to cancel "Reefer Madness" (all the actors got to the theater without any trouble), but we were performing on the campus of South Puget Sound Community College and they closed their campus and wouldn't allow us to perform. :P

Post updated:  I searched my posts from when it all happened to find out what I actually posted. :)

And good morning, all!

I did not watch the Oscars; I no longer get to films, and I've stopped caring.  I'm sure the party was fun, but I enjoyed watching 2/3 of THE GOOD COMPANIONS, which I hope to finish up tomorrow. I am very happy for J.K. Simmons, who's such a wonderful actor

Yoday, I have a long day with Joshie at City Center, and dinner with my Dubln leadig lady, Annalene, her husband, and Rob Berman.  I am looking forward to that.

I missed the OSCAR Party for the first time in many years......well I missed the Oscars.....I will go back and read the posts from last night to see how things went.  I have looked at the winners online.....I had a couple of favorites that didn't win.....but, that's okay.

I love critters: dogs, cats, goats, domestic rats, mice, hamsters.

I guess a should live on a farm or ranch or preserve where I could have dozens of them...including lions and tigers, elephants and bears.

Not a big fan of reptiles.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 23, 2015, 06:31:38 AM
It's about time to head to City Center.

DR JohnG, you asked about THE GOOD COMPANIONS.  I've got three hours to go, and I'm expecting some unhappy moments: there's been to much about one character's heart, the discreet coughing into a handkerchief by the costume designer, but since i do not know the novel, i have no idea what's going to happen.  At the end of the first DVD, there's a wonderful interview with J.B. Priestley abut the novel, accompanied by scenes from the two film versions.

I think the series is fascinating, and the cast is really wonderful.  Judy Cornwell, whom I only knew as Hyacinth Bucket’s sister Daisy, is about 60 pounds lighter and looks much like Prunella Scales as Miss Trant, Jan Francis is wonderful as Suzy Dean, and John Stratton as Oakroyd is really good.  There are several guest star appearances in small roles: Nigel Hawthorne as Miss Trant’s vicar, Denis Lawson as  Albert Oakroyd’s friend, etc. If Hollywood had cast this, everyone would have been much more photogenic and less eccentric, and the company of pierrots is made up of some really eccentric and often rather grotesque individuals. The first three hours of the piece concverns te history of Oakroyd, Miss Trant. Jolliphant, and how their lives merge.

There are a zillion musical numbers sung not only in the onstage pierrot show moments but in the characters' daily lives: “On The Road” seems to be the theme song of Miss Trant, Oakroyd, and Jolliphant, and it's sung many tmes with different lyrics onstage and off; there’s a huge song and dance on a pier led by Miss Trant, with some dancing sailors, and everyone in the cast, and a very strange one on the steps and platforms of a train station where the company has to change trains,

The only musical number that's bothered me so far occurred when Jolliphant tells Suzy he loves her and she goes into this Bollywood-like number, singing and dancing about two levels of a tram before she rejects him.  It may have been meant to show how lightly she takes serious emotion, but it took me completely out of the scene and that bothered me.

The look of 1930s industrial small-city England, and scenery and costumes  are really great.  This series should be available on a Region 1 DVD.

Of course I missed the entire evening.  I got home just as the show was ending.  And you know what?  Not that I can claim to tell anything from seeing one minute of something, but it really did look boring.  I was too pooped to do anything at all, including logging on, so I will enjoy ketchuping on those 21 pages today.

For the most part, my family and I have only had cats.  Before I was born, my parents got a poodle for my sister, and when I was in either middle or high school, they thought that a black lab would be a good present for me.  WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??  Anyway, they gave away both dogs to people that they knew and knew that they (the other people) could take care of them.  No more dogs for me!  I will get another cat, but (as I've said before), I need to clean my place before I get another one or two.

I grew up with dogs.  We had cats but my sister had toxoplasmosis and they blamed my cat, so we had to get rid of the cat.  I wanted to get rid of my sister instead, ;)    We had a cocker/pointer and a toy poodle.  I loved them very very much and I'd like a dog again, but I feel like I need to be home with a dog more than I can be.

Yes, I was planning on that.  I always wondered if Ebonie was lonely.  At one point I was thinking of getting another cat, but then I wondered if she was too old to all of a sudden have another cat in the house.  I know that I will get another cat, and I had decided a long time ago that when I do, I would get a pair at the same time.

My sister and her daughter have four cats...two were sisters that my sister got from a co-worker of hers, one was a rescue from a parking lot (he was almost feral), and the fourth is a rescue from a no-kill shelter.

I'm watching RAT RACE and happy that I have the soundtrack CD released by KRITZERLAND.

That Elmer Bernstein score is wonderful.....I had forgotten that RAT RACE was directed by Robert Mulligan......

I caught up on all the postings from yesterday.

Watch the first three hours of the oscars but speed through them as I already knew the outcome. I had my dvd extend the recording for an extra hour but it didn't record. It cut out just as Eddie Murphy began to speak.

I made a DVD for Vixmom.  Want a copy?

Thank you George!

And U am home.  My watch battery died, and i was really late to meet Rob, Annalene, and Simon for dinner.  We had a wonderful time, Rob left us around 9:00 and te three of us stayed in the coffee shop for tea.  I just got home. 

I had a good day at City center; and I think we are all set for Friday.  And I am ready for bed.

This evening I listened to the original cast recording of SHE LOVES ME for the first time in quite a while.  I'm not sure I'd even listened to the CD, ever.  I would have played the LP back in the day, and I believe I still have my excellent copy.  I'm taking it out for a listen tomorrow because I couldn't believe how poorly recorded -- or transferred -- the CD sounds.  Maybe the record was no better, but I'll find out tomorrow.

I also have the original London cast here to listen to tomorrow, before getting back to the Broadway revival to check on some things before the next rehearsal.

Good evening, all.

Back from celebrating my dance partner's birthday. A fascinating time of one beer and two cups of decaf coffee. I guess my weekend on the coast has exhausted me.

I've started to watch the extras on the Leroy Anderson DVD. Was surprised to learn that Russell Nype won a Tony for his role in "Cole Porter's 'Call Me Madam.'"

Guess Irving Berlin was busy that year writing "Can-Can."

Well, it's time for me to leave work and go to the first read-through for "Laughing Stock"! 

Until later!

The first read-through for "Laughing Stock" went quite well...it's still funny!  We all introduced ourselves and read through the script and then we left.  We don't need to be back until next Monday, so I will start to learn my lines.  Fortunately, we don't have to have everything memorized by next Monday, but with most theater memorizing, sooner is better than later.
