Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fair, and now it is time for you to post until the fair cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: KENSPECKLE!
-
I am now home.
-
Just had to share.
;)
-
After last night's performance of "The Credeaux Canvas," several of us went to a local sports bar to hang out and chat. We went to this place because it was felt that it wouldn't be too crowded (it wasn't) and there would be enough room for everyone (there was).
-
Today, the family is getting together at my parents' house for tacos and game playing. I'm sure some chocolate will also be consumed, but after the tacos, not with the chocolate.
-
And now, to bed.
Have a good day, all
-
I had no idea the first act of LADY was that long.
-
I have done the show, and usually I am painfully aware of the length of an act.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I'd been looking forward to reports on whatever this MY FAIR LADY was up to. And BK does not disappoint.
This is hopefully a bit of an exaggeration, but it seems like it's "business as usual" for an awful lot of theater groups around L.A. to use tracks. I know I'm not yer typical audience member -- I'm probably not yer typical musician, either -- but the artificiality of live production over tracks is something I can't adapt to.
If a group can't hire a band, I would honestly rather hear some schmoe keeping it simple -- and keeping it live -- by pounding it out (really well, of course) on a piano. And if a young kids' production can't hire even that much and must use tracks, I'd rather have that kept to scale and the tracks be of a small band than of a full professional orchestra. (There's a MUSIC MAN production on YouTube that's a bunch of tiny kids acting/singing over what could be the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics combined, which is jarring and, for my taste, wholly inappropriate.)
Let's just be grateful that people are indeed still sticking to book in a book musical like MY FAIR LADY. BK's post-apocalyptic vision will come true soon enough, and hopefully we'll all be gone when it does.
-
My goodness, that was a long post. And I'm still working on my first cup of coffee.
If I'd split it up properly, we'd be on page fifty-three now.
-
Today, for my own whoring contribution to the artificiality and downgrading of landmark musical scores, I'll be programming my "synth string" setups for GYPSY. In my defense, this is for a small community theater company who can hire a band, but not a full orchestra -- and their band size for this show will be twelve, as opposed to a more typical four to six, utilizing excellent reeds and brass players, so I am their only compromise. And it will all be live, baby. Live.
I shall also take a tiny step further into the 21st Century by learning the basics of annotation in ForScore on the iPad. The iPad is where this string reduction resides, and rather than take the easy route of printing it out, this shall be my debut playing off it, complete with pedal page-turning, etc. By God, if Boswell can do it for Kritzerland, then DR ChasSmith can take a stab at it for a li'l production in the park.
-
And with that, I think we've had about enough of me.
More coffee!
-
Good morning, all!

To those who celebrate, Happy Easter felicitations! This was always my least favorite holiday in the Christian calendar for so many reasons, but to spare the true believers, I'll only deal with family hypocrisy, which - after ignoring a year of Sunday services - compelled my mother's family, all brothers and sisters and their children, to dress up and attend a long service and then spend the day in a huge and long reunion. It was hell.
On a positive side, my mother's Easter ham with scalloped potatoes was always a winner.
-
So, today I must run to market, work on an orchestration gift for a friend, and not much else. I'm wondering if I can postpone laundry until tomorrow.
-
BK, I loved the notes.

That is not too dissimilar to my own experience.

So, I'm listening this morning to several of Bach's Easter cantatas, and that's my Easter Sunday service.

Good morning, DR ChasSmith! After 60 years, I'm finally making peace with much of my family's quirks. I don't know if it's the 10+ years of therapy or my encroaching senility.
-
More coffee.
-
DR Cillaliz, I didn't look at my original post to see if I didn't make sense. But my shoulder/neck problem was not caused by coloring. I just couldn't color because my neck/shoulder muscle was hurting. And it aggravated it when I colored. :)
-
Easter Sunday greetings! Fr. Richard is conducting Easter mass in Lima, Rob and Mary Linda just left for their church, and I'm home being Martha (biblical, not Stewart). Well, maybe a little Stewart. My reaction to the Mary/Martha bible story is: "Somebody has to be Martha!"
-
Why did Jesus first tell a woman that he had risen?
He wanted the news to spread quickly.
HA! I saw that on Facebook.....I didn't write it. There was a picture, but I can't find it to share.
-
DR CHAS SMITH we do not use tracks at our theatre. BUT in this neck of the woods, pianists are difficult to find. We now are at the point of auditions next Sunday, and no pianist for the first 11 rehearsals to follow. We have asked several people. It's the main reason I don't like to direct a musical here....you can't get a piano player.
You would think in a college town, ONE person would say yes.
Our pianist is doing a show at the local high school. Everyone we ask says no....eventually....usually after leaving us hanging for several days....so I can see why some groups just say.....to hell with it.....
-
Nice notes. I love MY FAIR LADY.....although it is also the show that I saw once that was the worst theatre experience of my viewing life.....
-
Good morning, all. Happy Easter!
-
Cillaliz, I'm with you. I do not know what a leftover deviled egg is.
-
Vixmom, thanks for Skip's recipe. It sounds wonderful. I'll make them next time. I think I have to go more traditional with this batch and this audience. Though I may add the bacon.
-
Two!
-
Hmmmm Of Kings & Prophets has been canceled......after two episodes. I guess we won't get to see David face Goliath or all the other things we were promised.....

Happy Easter!
-
I'm going to my friends' house for an early (2 pm) dinner.
-

I think bacon sounds delicious. But then a lot of people that don't eat meat or pork wouldn't be able to eat them.

Deviled eggs are often the only thing vegetarians can find to eat at gatherings ;)

I did not see this until after I posted. Truly, the eggs have been the only thing I could eat.

And Martha is not usually appreciated -- until she isn't there one day.
-
Good morning. The breakfast went off with only two hitches: the service was much shorter than they thought it would be (although everyone was patient and chatted while we finished getting everything ready) and someone had turned off the pilot light to one of the ovens -- we planned on baking the bacon and sausage in both ovens at the same time.
-
DR Laura have you ever purchased Redwood yogurt? I think it is better than the other yogurts you can purchase. I buy the plain and mix in my own fruit.

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate; and Happy Easter Bunny and chocolate to those who don't.
-
Happy Easter to those who celebrate; and Happy Easter Bunny and chocolate to those who don't.
We do both!
-
I didn't know that stores or Malls still had an Easter Bunny. Around here, I think that went the way of the dodo bird.
-
I'm driving my sister and brother-in-law to Easter dinner at my cousin's house.
-
She and her boy friend have a breath-taking view from their living room, so hopefully the sun will stay out all day.
-
The drive is about an hour to an hour and a half. Another reason I am hoping for nice weather.
-
I'm up, I'm up - other than being up for an hour at five-thirty, I think I got nine hours. Unfortunately at five-thirty I almost threw up (but didn't) and that really trashed my throat from coughing. Hopefully that will go away quickly but it feels trashed right now. The Excedrin PM worked really well and other than being groggy this is the first morning (or afternoon now) that I didn't wake up with a raging headache.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
BK, there's some bug going around that causes nausea and headaches. It hit me last week, I took Sambucol and thought I was almost rid of it, then it crept back. It sounds like what you have. The Sambucol DOES help, but this bug is tenacious.
Vibes you feel better soon.
-
I agree that the score to MY FAIR LADY is glorious. ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE is brilliant, IMHO. So many other good songs. A really outstanding musical.
-
After reading the Notes, I was wondering why theaters use tracks at all--other than cost. JRand's situation hadn't occurred to me; I hope that pianists aren't difficult to find elsewhere.
How much does does it cost to have a real pianist and a real piano?
-
Today, the family is getting together at my parents' house for tacos and game playing. I'm sure some chocolate will also be consumed, but after the tacos, not with the chocolate.
WHAT?! No chocolate tacos?? A good, ole American tradition.
-

I hope you have a nice drive and enjoy the day.

Maybe Singdaw can find a photo of a chocolate taco for us.
-
We are "all volunteer" DR JEANNE - so that is part of the problem.
-
Tom, how is Betzy working out? I was so glad to hear that you'd found someone to help with the cleaning. Are you happy with her? Is she a keeper?
-
We are "all volunteer" DR JEANNE - so that is part of the problem.
Yes. I suspect there are more people who will volunteer as actors than as musicians.
-
Have a nice Sunday, everyone, however you spend it.
-
FEEL BETTER VIBES FOR BRUCE!!!

True dat DR JEANNE......
-
I find "voting" in the primary elections very odd here in Washington.
-
Vibes for Bruce and Jeanne.
-
Had a lovely lunch with friends from church. Ham, plenty of veggies and Italian cream cake.
-
Pianists don't ever come cheap.
-
Now I'm home, watching the last two hours of The Happiest Millionaire.
-
Today we saw MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2 and enjoyed it. We liked it much more than the reviews would suggest. Yes, there is much that isn't new but that is ok. It has the same heart and likable characters as the original.
-
I couldn't do salad today - the red wine vinegar would have irritated my throat even more than it is. I had a breakfast burrito instead.
-
I just had a very satisfying read :)
-
I never really spent a lot of time in Hollywood except to go to the Chinese Theater and walk the area there. The only Mel's, that I can recall, I've eaten at was the one in San Francisco when we lived across the bridge in Tiburon.

Thank you. I want to see it for those two reasons. It doesn't have to be new. If it were too new then people wouldn't like because of too many changes.

It is interesting to fill in the gaps of my missed childhood while reading Adriana's adventures.

LOL, ok I misread it. Hope your shoulder is feeling better

Buona Pasqua, Amici!

My afternoon/early evening CD listen: "Gershwin Fantasy" - Joshua Bell with John Williams conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.
S'Wonderful! S'Marvelous! S'Gershwin!

Well, we were planning to do brunch at a restaurant at the lake. It's pricey but it's what Sam and her DH like so we had reservations for 10 of us. I drove the 100 plus miles to get there and got a text from S's DH saying they wouldn't be going to brunch/dinner because of a big family fight the night before. Argument, is really what I'm sure it was but it apparently started between S and her mom and then the DH had too much and he blew up. Not knowing if I was just going to turn around and drive home, I called my brother. Luckily my brother, his wife and mom and dad were on their way so we still had Brunch/dinner with the 5 of us Then we stopped to check on mom and dad's cottage and then I came home. 4 hours in the car and 1 1/2 hours with family, lol
I do not know what the disagreements were about, I do not wish to know. Mom and I sort of did a high five because for the first time we can remember no one was blaming either of us for anything. We had a pleasant enough brunch and I got home about 2 1/2 hours earlier than I expected. I assume they'll all work it out, they always do. But at least mom and I aren't to blame :)
-
We had a nice visit with Richard's brother and his wife and my dinner turned out just as I'd planned. Plenty of leftovers!
-
It was actually very nice to get home lots earlier than I expected
-
Congrats on not getting blamed ;)
Better they didn't go then fight at the restaurant. This way the rest of you had a good time.
-
It was cold last night and the cat was back in the window well this morning. I quick got dressed and took out some dry food, but it was gone before I could get the food out there. The food is still there. I'll be curious to see if it's there in the morning. If it's gone it could be another animal that gets it, I won't really know. The cat must be getting food somewhere because it never waits around for food or to try to get food
-
Congrats on not getting blamed ;)
Better they didn't go then fight at the restaurant. This way the rest of you had a good time.
I agree, but I doubt they would have fought at the restaurant. I do think it may have been tense
-
You gotta love families. They put the fun in dysfunctional.
-
The Happiest Millionaire is miles too long, clocking in at 2:55. The story just can't support it, and Tommy Steele is insufferable.
But those Sherman Brothers songs. They make it worthwhile.
-

Tense can ruin the evening, and you drive so far to get there.
-

I think fun should be in quotes here.
-
Let's move on.
-
Four!
-
I just had a very satisfying read :)
Let's hear about it! :) And Goodreads awaits :)
-
I use Goodreads as notes to myself, and then they are fairly simple. I really, really hate rating anything on it.
-

Exactamente!

True, but it was a lovely day for a drive. I didn't mind.

I think it's going to be a Benedryl night. The oak pollen is heavy and it was too beautiful a day not to be out in it.

Here's the Italian cream cake from earlier. I have leftovers. I am happy.

That's why I was glad to have a small gathering today. More people = more tension.

It is, indeed! My sister-in-law brought a bunny cake for our dessert - chocolate cake with coconut icing. We saved the face for me to take to Mom tomorrow.

A few wildflowers in my friends' front yard.

Watching Indiscreet with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. I haven't seen this in at least 20 years, but I remember having the same feeling then: It should be much better than it is, but it's; fun at least watching the two of them.

I read that as " I was indiscreet with Cary Grant"
-
It was a very nice Easter
-
Beautiful service with string choir, brass choir, bell choir and "choir" choir... Packed house with everyone dressed beautifully... I always love to see the little girls in their dresses and Easter hats and the boys with their little suits and ties... There was a plethora of fedoras on the little boys this year as well... And they are always so pleased when you compliment hem on their outfits

Came home and peeled and halved 8 lbs of white mushrooms while sautéing a couple of vidalvia onions in butter Then threw the mushrooms in in batches and then as each batch cooked transferred them to the slow cooker with some sherry and Beef stock... This send a couple of bottles of wine were my only required contributions to Easter dinner
-
It was a fine dinner... My sister in law made up a buffet and served broiled flounder stuffed with crabmeat ( which I did not try), ham, prime rib, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts with crushed pecans, green beans with bacon, my mushrooms, my moms cauliflower casserole, bread rolls, these little spinach pastry things she makes with phyllo and spinach filling.....
-
Then for dessert there was jello , cannoli, napoleons, chocolate chip cookies, vanilla cake with chocolate icing, apple pie ...
-
Wow Vixmom, that's a lot of food. How many were at the dinner?
-
And there were no arguments ... There was a loud discussion about Common core... ( my SIL is a teacher and get dad is a retired teacher) but despite the sized voices everyone wasbadica,lay agreeing with everyone else
-
Then there was another loud conversation about Politics but (surprisingly) everyone was on the same page there as well so again lots of agreements
-
Then we were all loaded up with leftovers and headed hime
-
We brought my mom to and from my brothers house and she had a grwAt time and was happy that she due she gave to cook for the next three days because she has do much leftovers
-
Then we came home and called all the Canadian relAtives and had some nice chats
-
Wow Vixmom, that's a lot of food. How many were at the dinner?
Hmm, brother and SIL her parents, her sister and her husband, her best friend, her daughter and fiancée, my mom, and the Vuxfamiky 3..,,,,13 of us

For "The HEAD! That Wouldn't DIE!!" last December, we had to use pre-recorded tracks...there wasn't enough room in the space for musicians. In Janary, we did use live musicians for the fund raiser.

How much does does it cost to have a real pianist and a real piano?
The problem with that is that most non-profit community theaters would want instrumentalists to volunteer their time like everyone else involved in non-profit community theater, but the instrumentalists won't. It's their job. :-\

No chocolate tacos. Sounds good, though! We did have chocolate creme pie. It was store-bought, but very good

This morning, I was channel surfing on TV and came across "The Full Monty" and just started watching it. I looked around the DVR program guide to see what was coming on later and I noticed a show on AXS TV (never noticed the channel before) that was on today that said it was a musical, so I recorded it. It's called Last Night a DJ Saved My Life (http://www.lastnightadj.com). It's a live production that stars and wa executive produced by David Hasselhoff and features songs from the 80s. Here's the description from the website:
The Hoff, plays Ross, a hilarious hedonist. He’s Ibiza’s top 80’s DJ who doesn’t realize a new decade has dawned, disco is out, a new club scene is in.
He tries to keep up with the times and with Mandy, his new younger girl-friend (Kim Tiddy, from ‘The BillHollyoaks’), but matters are complicated when his teenage daughter Penny (Stephanie Webber From TV’s ‘The Voice’) arrives to stay. Father and daughter haven’t seen each other for three years, since a messy divorce. No longer a demure school girl, but a wild child who quickly falls for Rik, the holiday rep (Shane Richie Junior).
It’s the story of two generations colliding, as a badly behaved parent, tries to control a wild child teenager! This hilarious hit fest is also a touching father and daughter drama, set against the holiday island background of Ibiza!
Firstly, it's not funny in the least. Secondly, no one (especially "The Hoff") can act, at all. The singers (except "The Hoff") have good voices but it's just a big giant mess. The songs make no sense and the "book" is a joke, and not in the good way. I wonder if they wanted to make something like "Mamma Mia" where the audience would like the music and forgive everything that's lacking.
Avoid this like the plague! :P
-
Good evening!
-
Home from an enjoyable Easter Sunday with, not one but two of my cousins.
-
Getting to my cousin's house required driving through an insane storm of rain, sleet, hail, and even some snow.
-
We had a lovely dinner of ham, potato casserole, asparagus, salad, and rolls; with lemon
meringue pie for dessert.
-
Wine was consumed by some, water was consumed by me.
-
And the trip home required us to travel thru another storm, almost as severe as the one on the way there.
-
George would understand when I say that the storms were both located where I-90 and Hwy 18 merge near Issaquah. Basically we were traveling several hundred feet below Snoqualmie Pass where they were experiencing an unexpected snowstorm that dumped 8 inches of snow and thus closing the pass.
-
Issaquah is where Fred and Skip came to workshop their musical, THE LAST STARFIGHTER.
-
Well, Fred and Skip didn't come to the town square to present their musical. I should have said The Village Theater in Issaquah is where Fred and Skip came to workshop their musical, THE LAST STARFIGHTER.
-
I am tired tonight. I don't usually drive that far in one day, especially going thru the two big storms. But I am also amped up tonight, so who knows if I will be able to sleep.
-
Well, Fred and Skip didn't come to the town square to present their musical. I should have said The Village Theater in Issaquah is where Fred and Skip came to workshop their musical, THE LAST STARFIGHTER.
