TOD

I've only seen five of his films and the only one I have seen more than once an still enjoy is 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Dr. Strangelove has some great set pieces but find it difficult to watch the entire film. The Shining was a major disappointment because he veered so much from the original source novel.

Cheap, soulless, lazy pop that sounds rehashed from not very good to begin with. Other than that, it's okay.

Maybe it's a good thing I didn't listen to many of the songs before seeing the show, so I'll probably always associate the songs with the emotional impact of seeing the show.

Is it possible the "Dear Evan Hansen" bookwriter deserves even more credit for the show's complexity than he's getting?

LOL! Well, that's pretty much my opinion.  When the "big song" on national television sounds like a note in search of a mate, there's there's trouble with the score.

Whatever happened to the ability to write strong tunes?  Once pop music pretty much deteriorated to accommodate the limited vocal stylings of too many current pop singers, things went to hell.

Post by: ChasSmith on June 27, 2017, 05:33:02 AM
Speaking of I Do! I Do! (surely someone was, somewhere in the world), our director received the script that they send out right away, and it appears to be the original book insofar as it doesn't reflect the obvious changes made for the 1996 revival.  It has a few updated lyrics for "Flaming Agnes" and something else, but not the hospital waiting room ditty or the change in position of "My Cup Runneth Over".

I can't fathom why their policy wouldn't include sending a score along with that.  We're supposed to have a read-through and initial music rehearsals at least ten days before we're scheduled to receive all the materials, so we'll just have to have to use the published vocal score for jumping into it.

DR Ginny, $75 is all?  They should have given you a couple of free nights. The Palmer House should have standards to uphold.

Well, it started out as a credit to use in any of the hotel restaurants, which I think is kind of self-serving.  The deduction on our bill was offered when Richard said we were leaving this morning.

The Palmer House is overrated, in my opinion.  But we thought we should stay here once - and now we have.

I read the book just after it was published, thanks to our DR Ginny.  I was home after a tonsillectomy and she brought me several books, both good Ethan Mordden's (before his writing deteriorated to nonsense) Better Foot forward - still one of his best -  and The Shining.

Lyft got me to the airport in 20 minutes for $13. Nice experience.

Were you able to pre-book the pick up time?

No. It took six minutes for pickup.

Have made it to Chicago.

We just missed you, DR John G!  It took us 6 HOURS, but we're home.

I'm finally in Louisville. Not enough time in Chicago to see Hamilton.

DR Ginny, $75 is all?  They should have given you a couple of free nights. The Palmer House should have standards to uphold.



Well, it started out as a credit to use in any of the hotel restaurants, which I think is kind of self-serving.  The deduction on our bill was offered when Richard said we were leaving this morning.

The Palmer House is overrated, in my opinion.  But we thought we should stay here once - and now we have.


Was he wearing his collar?

I've returned from all errands.  I dropped off the last edits for Jason, then stopped next door at the jeweler's to buy a new watchband for Mickey, who's very happy with it.  Then to the market for my senior discount.  I spent ;pts and my freezer is happy. I will spend part of the afternoon making chili.


Very nice watchband, and you're right, Micky does look pleased

No, DR Vixmom, but he did introduce himself as DOCTOR Richard Palmer.  That usually gets their attention.

In my experience the collar is always good for a more respectful and conciliatory attitude , short of that I'd suggest he used "reverend" rather than doctor.  People assume doctors are rich, and ministers are not

So glad to read about what a good time George is having working on his show.  More fun details, please,  as it moves along, if you're not too tired!

Thanks, Fred!  I'll post updates as things happen. ;D

I am sure I missed this info....  Which theater are you doing this and what are the show dates?

The theater company is called Apple Tree Productions (https://appletreeprod.com).  The performances will be at the Capitol Theater in downtown Olympia, and the dates are July 13-16 (https://appletreeprod.com/2017/06/14/hairspray/).

When I got a new DVR last year, I forgot to re-set the series to record, so I completely missed last season.  Last week, I finally remembered that it was back on and set it up again.  Whew!

Back from a rough final dress rehearsal.  I came right home - didn't have enough voice to give notes - and as soon as I got home I sent all the notes via e-mail.  The technical stuff - I just give up.  I don't want to work with theaters that don't have their merde together.  Light cues still being written, parts of the set still unfinished, this is not how I work.  I'd been warned, oh, yes, I'd been warned but I thought we might escape.  So many technical things to address - sound and light late cues, all of it.  The show was well paced for the most part and we had about ten people there to see it, including several folks who drove down from San Diego because they're Kritzerland regulars.  The cast played with energy way too low, so that was my main note: ENERGY, top to bottom.  It's a deceptive space and very dead, so you simply have to project.

My voice is completely trashed - I'm praying mightily that I wake up having one.  The reason is the hacking cough that once begun I cannot control - it is so painful on my throat and if I could stop that part I wouldn't be quite this bad.    So, I'm doing my best not to cough, but it's hard.
