Well, you've read the notes, the notes welcomed the opening night of Welcome to My World, and now it is time for you to post until the opening night cows come home - they just attended the opening night of Welcome to MOO World.

Cindy Williams is such a lovely person and such a class act.  We were backstage at DROWSY CHAPERONE to see some other actors, and saw her and she was so warm even before we mentioned BK's name, and very much even more so after we mentioned how we knew BK.  Such a delight as a performer, as well!

And then I can kill it again by packing up and lugging my keyboard and amp to today's first band reading and sitzprobe.

Sorry for my absence yesterday - but that makes the heart grow fonder, right?


I was just so frustrated over not being able to log into HHW on Friday night or Saturday morning that I just decided to give it a rest.

Good morning, all!  The frustrations have set in.

I've been waiting for the neuroses on this recording work and, after spending all day on orchestra parts, I may have to throw them all out and rethink the numbers following "discussions" this week. Silly me, for assuming that after someone has a score for two weeks and there's no words about it that all is well.

Last night was a big nightmare about LaGuardia and the flight to Ohio: I lost my cane, the nonstop flight was making a stop causing us to land later in Dayton, I didn't have a book to kill time, I lost my place in line for my ticket. There was a very friendly and helpful back gentleman helping me with everything and who found my cane, He kept trying to be helpful and i was my usual frustrated bitchy self.

elmore, that makes sense, that hearing nothing for two weeks would have logically led you to believe all was well with the work, especially with a time element involved.  How very odd that you suddenly hear otherwise.  Agreement on that assumption from this household!

Sami's opening night was terrific! The audience participation bit, again, was very funny. This time, Sami wanted the guy to way "bye" to the froggie and he kept putting his arm down and Sami kept picking it up and making him wave bye longer. It got big laughs.

If you climbed on your power scooter this minute, you might be in Ohio by Oct. 7th, and I know my crazy family would love to be your hosts. I admit, I am fretting a helluva lot about this speaking gig.  The additional angst over these two recording charts was just the unwanted topper for the weekend.

By the way, your 9/11 memory was beautifully told.  I want to read the book.

Well, thank you, dear friend. The book idea comes and goes.

If you climbed on your power scooter this minute, you might be in Ohio by Oct. 7th, and I know my crazy family would love to be your hosts. I admit, I am fretting a helluva lot about this speaking gig.  The additional angst over these two recording charts was just the unwanted topper for the weekend.


Would I have to stay with the Macbeths?

No. My brother Randy and his chef par excellence wife JoAnn.

My biggest fear is that I will end up having to see them before I can escape to Manhattan.

Lar, just calm down and relax.  Everything about your Ohio trip will work out perfectly.  I just wish I could be there to hear your speech.

Maybe you could wear garlic around your neck?  Oh, wait, that is something else.

Pleasant weather here and nothing to to do which is a magic combination.

I am transcribing an interview that I did with my friend Vickie for the theatre website.  I will put it up tomorrow.....and then wait for the internet eye rolls I will get for featuring myself in an article.

I still think if the director would just listen and put Vickie with me for the final bow in the show, there would be no way to stop the standing ovation.....no crowd is going to stand up for me bowing by myself....that's a guarantee.

Jeanne, yes, we extended one week to October 4.  There are matinees every Sunday.
Title: Re: WELCOME TO THE OPENING NIGHT OF WELCOME TO MY WORLD
Post by: bk on September 13, 2015, 06:22:05 PM
Back from our first matinee with a nice, pretty full house.  There was this meet and greet thing with Corey Fogelmanis before the show and that happened.  The majority of the audience were kids and I learned a very important lesson - I thought they'd be a great audience but they most assuredly were not.  The adults in attendance were laughing and having fun, and I'm sure some of the kids were, just as I'm equally sure that some of the kids may have felt that they were what we skewer in the show - kids who try to be hip and cool, kids who do things they shouldn't - I knew that could potentially happen because Molly is not about any of that.  So, I think we're really a show for adults - they "get" it, get what Molly is about, and they also know that she's really a role model and about the right things.  Lesson learned.  Sami was absolutely great in the first half, but she let all the fidgeting (there were some under tens there, something I'm not really comfortable with) and whispering get to her and for the first time she actually went up and had to get a line from Alby - it was fine, and I do think it won't happen again, but in addition to that she fumfered lines and inverted a few lyrics - I do understand it, but it's an actor's job to not let distractions distract.  It's also the last time that anyone tells me or even suggests who's going up for the audience participation.  They assured me that if we took Corey's dad up, he would be very uncomfortable - he was okay, but we don't ever want okay - we want someone who is REALLY not used to being on stage.  There was someone else I'd pegged and I know he would have been much more fun.

Time Warner, ladies and gentleman.  Spazzing out every five minutes so what I'm trying to watch on Netflix keeps stalling.  Of course when you call there's no problem.  Riiiiight.

Kids.  Many kids.  I would have had a hard time being in that audience. 

But if it was a good lesson in dealing with that kind of distraction, then it's good that it happened -- now and not later.

I am dutifully dressed in a black cowboy shirt and black jeans. No boots (I don't own any). No hat.

What sort of shoes are you wearing? (Don't mean to get too personal.) A shame you don't have cowboy boots. Enjoy the event.

I wore my dance shoes. And danced my feet off. It was a lot of fun.

The shindig was fun. A local favorite band, Almost Patsy Cline, played. Yes, they did a lot of Patsy's songs, but they also did some fun country-western pieces as well as 60s and 70s favorites like "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay." Great stuff to just float away on.

Just before dinner we were treated to a performance from a local service called Mission Road, which offers help to developmentally disabled people of all ages. They had a performance group of adults, who danced, sang and performed in sign language. It was a genuinely moving event. Lots of tears in the audience.

Watching Still Alice, which is not as depressing as I thought it would be. The performances are too good, and the people so real that it's more powerful than grim.

There is a wake this afternoon for one of the theater friends/legends who passed away last week.  It is being held at a local watering hole.  I decided that I did not want to spend an afternoon in a tavern on the day when I celebrate my being sober for 22 years.

Good for you, Tom!  And congrats on your anniversary!
