A few years ago, The Nance (https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-production/the-nance-493671) by Douglas Carter Beane was on Broadway.  It was also filmed for broadcast on PBS.  As part of that broadcast, they had Douglas Carter Beane, Jack O'Brien the director, and Nathan Lane the star sitting together and talking for a few minutes about the show.  But on PBS's website, they had the full 48-minute interview.  I was able to download that and just watched it again.  It was quite informative and interesting.  I wonder why they didn't make that whole interview its own show on TV.  At least, they made it available. :)

Well, I'm off to bed now.  I don't have any real plans today.  Hoo and Ray!  I probably will do some laundry and ketchup on watching some TV shows recorded on my DVR.

Have a good day, all!

I never saw it either, so I would have guessed that WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR was just another of those “Question” or “Statement” thrillers of the 60s/70s.

Last night, we watched the 1939 film On Borrowed Time.  I liked everyone in the cast except for Lionel Barrymore.  I thought he was working far too hard as Gramps.  I kept thinking how wonderful my late friend Bernard Hughes would be in the role.

You beat me to it, DR Jrand68!   About an hour ago sister Catherine (aka Kate) excitedly  came out of her bedroom and changed the channel on the TV in the living room to see if I thought that was Bruce on the Partridge Family.  After I confirmed that it was indeed our own BK she exclaimed “what a cutie!”

My two standards are the buckwheat and the sourdough.

Everything there looks great (on other people’s plates) and I’d love to have eggs and other stuff now and then. But I’m only ever there twice a year or so, and I can never force myself to deviate from those favorites.

Staying with favorites is smart, most of the time.  Today I should have gone with something new.  I can't find it on the website so it was probably a special. 

The Original location in Portland is rather small and I was told their menu is a bit different.

Back from a wretched lunch at some barbecue jernt - Wood Ranch, a chain.  More about that later.  Then saw 42nd Street.  Not a very good production - lots of Gower choreography but not all and the stuff that wasn't his paled - how could it not? 

That's too bad...about both the lunch and the show. :-\

Doctor Who is on.
Title: Re: WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR?
Post by: George on October 21, 2018, 08:11:20 PM
It starts out in 1943, and a Rosa Parks-on-the-bus type situation, then it jumps to 1955.  I wonder what's going to happen.

Well, the character was Rosa Parks, and when they jump to 1955, it's the day before she doesn't move to the back of the bus.

Started reading Nate Expectations, the third and final volume of the Better Nate Than Never series from Tim Federle. At least in the first 75 pages, the series seems to have lost some of its charm. A lot of it is by rote, though the occasional bit can hit the target dead-on.

Tonight's Doctor Who was an interesting episode.

The Doctor and her companions had to make sure that history happened the way it was supposed to happen.

The reason for it all was kind of lame, though. :-\

Just my opinion, of course.

Is anyone watching THE WOMAN IN WHITE tonight?  My brother just wrote to tell me about it.  We watched an older mini-series not all that long ago so will pass.

Is that based on the Wilkie Collins novel?

Yes.

I found this review I found interesting
https://www.indiewire.com/2018/10/woman-in-white-review-pbs-mystery-wilkie-collins-masterpiece-1202013735/

Yesterday I bought a Masterpiece version of The Moonstone. Looking forward to watching that.

Enjoy.

Back from a nice visit with Kate’s son, his wife and their daughter, Evie.  I saw their new house, which is very nice. Evie is now walking and running all over the place.  Adorable!

Kevin, have they ever heard the Johnny Mathis record "Evie?"  It's a bit down, but it's really nice - and if you don't really hear the words, it's still called "Evie."

I didn't know that Sebastian Arcelus (https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/sebastian-arcelus-102251) was in this.

Listening to another marvelous Lyrita CD - this one of music by John Foulds - I'd only heard his Triptych for Piano and I didn't love that, but this CD is filled with stunning music - accessible, tonal, and also very unique.

I have been working on my lines tonight.
Title: Re: WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR?

Apparently, I am going to be on my own for this role.

For the second week in a row, I am not called for rehearsals.
Title: Re: WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR?
Post by: TCB on October 21, 2018, 11:55:38 PM
And according to our main rehearsal schedule, we have no rehearsals at all during Halloween week.
Title: Re: WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR?
Post by: TCB on October 21, 2018, 11:56:28 PM
So, it looks like me first rehearsal will be the week of November 4.

I understand the director’s thinking.

You have a number of children in this production.

Probably, two-thirds of my lines are narration speeches where I am alone on stage, or introducing the next scene.
Title: Re: WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR?
Post by: TCB on October 22, 2018, 12:00:23 AM
All of that I can do on my own without taking up rehearsal time.

As long as I am completely off book by then, I should be fine.
