TOD - Regarding one-man shows where I could be objective because family and friends were not involved: 

Patrick Stewart's Christmas Carol, Madwoman of Central Park West, Shirley Valentine and I Am My own Wife.

I'm not sure if another favorite play, Souvenir, counts as a one-person show, although it's usually sold as one person playing Florence Foster Jenkins, and her pianist.  But the pianist is really quite a role.

Good morning, all!

Yesterday, at the orchestra rehearsal, I heard from a very good friend some very distressing news, and i was wide awake around 5:00 this morning pondering the news and its consequences. It's very distressing and what I would call the End of An Era. It may not be bad but I'm unhappy about the news.

So, I was out of bed by 6:45; I've got to finish my taxes and find some employment.  Or win the Lottery.

Or sell three acres of Ohio property.

It's very distressing and what I would call the End of An Era. I fear it will result in my friend moving out of the City, but it also means that a place I was quite fond of is no more.

Is this closing something that's public info, or were you asked to keep it a secret?

TOD:

I have not seen many one-person shows.

MASTER CLASS has several people in it, but it was mostly the Faye Dunaway Show when we saw it.  She was excellent - once the curtain finally went up.....45 minutes late.

I directed a one-woman show called "Loving Lucy."  The upshot of the show was that people who love Lucy wouldn't necessarily love Lucille Ball....and that was about the size of it.....but my leading actress was lovely and we had a lot of fun - the author was forbidden by the I Love Lucy writers to recreate any of that show's famous set pieces....so it was indeed about Lucille Ball - which disappointed a lot of people.

This photo was taken at our first rehearsal and the wig and makeup weren't right.  Megan dyed her hair and it was much more realistic......

I'm told we'll be starting tax work circa 11:30, so I should get ready and then hie myself to the office.

This is my first Saturday in the new office (we moved just before Christmas).  it'll be interesting to see what Saturday security at the building is like.   (At the old building, Saturday security was more diligent than weekday, it seemed.)

Post by: ChasSmith on February 28, 2015, 07:28:43 AM
The opening night went pretty well, and as far as I am able to tell, the audience was pretty generous in voicing its approval.  It wasn't a full house, though.  Maybe three quarters?

As I was telling DR Elmore yesterday, this is kind of a weird little gig, in that I feel more like I'm just showing up to do a job than I normally do.  I'm new to this particular theater, I can't see and hear very much of what's happening on stage, and the meager little six of us in the pit are just doing our best to hold the score together.  I got fine comments from people I don't know, so I can only hope it's sounding as decent as they say.

All of that having been said, I think we're on the verge of getting to the point where we're comfortable with it and it will be a little more fun.  But one shouldn't have to be saying that at this point.  Sufficient rehearsal time would make all the difference.
Title: Re: THE MARCH FROM FEBRUARY
Post by: ChasSmith on February 28, 2015, 07:43:48 AM
But let's move on to something important, like the PAINT YOUR WAGON reading.  DR Elmore "thinks" the score is going to sound good?  Oh my god...   :)

The sound of those musicians playing a score to a higher level of perfection than has probably ever been heard, in those close, tight acoustics, is bliss.  I can't thank DR Elmore enough for the opportunity.  I'm just sorry I had to duck out early, when I would have sucked up every last note.

Speaking of my son Joshie, he just stopped by with an emergency job for me: proofreading new transposed orchestra parts  for "I Can Cook Too," to be played on Tuesday night and sung by the Hildy understudy with no orchestra rehearsal. Those notes have to be right!  So, I will do that now before I go back to my taxes.

Trude was one beautiful lady.  I met her about two years before she died, and her memory was slipping. She was kind, charming, very sweet lady, a very elegant and sophisticated European musical scholar.  She probably knew counterpoint and composition better than any musical arranger working now.  I was quite fond of her.  We were talking about the ladies who worked behind the scenes, like her and Genevieve Pitot.

I am very glad you have Joshie in your life.

Me, too!

Tonight, I watched for the first time The Slipper and the Rose.  I think it's too long, but it's very charming and there are nice touches of whimsy.  I really liked Annette Crosbie as the Godmother.  She's quite delightdul.

It is Cox, my cable company, the way I connect to the internet. None of the computers at home can connect, but I can connect from other places.

BK has figured out what you guys need to tell Cox.  it doesn't sound like it should be that hard for them. Have you contacted them?

I've been gone all day!  I went to work to make up some time and while there, I got a text from Vanessa, who is the Manager of The Midnight Sun, the theater space that Theater Artists Olympia rents.  She wanted to know if I could open up The Sun for a renter (it was for a young child's birthday party).  She couldn't be there right at the time that the people were going to arrive.  I took my lunch time and was able to get there to open the space without any trouble.

After work, my parents took me to dinner.  My sister, niece and I helped our parents take some yard waste to the composting section of the local dump a few weeks ago, and the dinner was their thank you.  My sister, niece and my sister's boyfriend went over last night while I was at "Angels In America."  We went to Mayan (a Mexican chain) and it was all pretty good.  After dinner, we went back to my parents' house and played a couple of games of Phase 10.  I won the second game!  I am now home and ketchuping on all the posts. :)

Topic of the Day:  I don't remember the actual titles of their shows, but I've seen Hal Holbrook perform Mark Twain (I just realized that BK mentioned the actual title in his notes, "Mark Twain Tonight"), Frank Ferrante perform as Groucho Marx and Frank Gorshin perform as George Burns on tour at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.  I even got to meet Frank Ferrante and get his autograph on my DVD of his show!  All three actors and the shows were fantastic!

The one time I went to New York, I got to see Avery Brooks in Paul Robeson (http://www.ibdb.com/production.php?id=4319).  I just happened to walk by the theater and a woman was selling a ticket for $40.  I bought it without realizing where the seat was...it was just about 4th row center on the orchestra level!  It was one of the absolute best theatrical experiences of my life!

TOD - Regarding one-man shows where I could be objective because family and friends were not involved: 

Patrick Stewart's Christmas Carol, Madwoman of Central Park West, Shirley Valentine and I Am My own Wife.

I'm not sure if another favorite play, Souvenir, counts as a one-person show, although it's usually sold as one person playing Florence Foster Jenkins, and her pianist.  But the pianist is really quite a role.

"Paul Robeson" also had an accompanist, but I counted it.  A theater in Tacoma presented, "Glorious!" another Florence Foster Jenkins one-woman show.  My friend Josh Anderson (director/music director of TAO's "Brain From Planet X") played the pianist.
