The parking lot of the condos was somewhat passable, but the ramps I need to get off the sidewalk to the parking lot, and visa versa had not been touched.  I couldn’t even go and get yesterday’s mail.

Topic of the Day:  my favorite number was the duet where they sang their two parts at the same time.  I like that kind of stuff.  I think it was Larry who taught me the word "quodlibet." :)

I know what question I wanted to ask, but Eric wasn’t there so I kind of forgot about it.

When Eric is sitting on the couch, he has his hands clasped together a lot of the time.  Eventually his hands are clasped so that they form the heart-shape, which has become so “in” lately.  I just wondered if that was an intentional move on his part?

Yes, DR Ginny, I was a night owl, but now that I try to be a semi-responsible parent to my three little kittens the dictates of feeding them between 6:00 and 6:30AM have completely changed my schedule.

Actually, it began earlier than that.  When I was writing for the Men's Chorus and juggling other jobs with The Drama Book Shop, I found that working at home was best early in the morning before the phone started ringing, so I would get up at 5:30 write until 8:00 and get ready to go into the Book Shop.

Project One was really One-derful!

At one hearing, my two favorite numbers were the counterpoint duet and Hartley's ballad about waiting for love.

While I was watching, I kept thinking about how Hollywood would screw it up and cast glamorous people like George Clooney and Julia Roberts in the roles. What I liked about the piece was that Eric and Hartley were not "glamorous," and their physical changes of the past twenty years weren't an issue.

DR CHAS SMITH in my ZOOM set up.....down in the tray at the bottom of the screen there is a CAMERA icon....if you click on the little tab on it you get a selection of things.....

Change background etc.....and one of them is Video Filters.  If you check the Filters you get a selection of things including hats, glasses, rabbit ears, etc that you can add to your face.

I also always go to the top right and click to get GALLERY VIEW so that I can see everyone in the group.

TOD:

I loved the opening number which tells us exactly who they are and what we're going to get.....only we get a LOT more.

I also liked Hartley's love song - Eric's song about how could I do that when he found out what had happened......and the last duet.  Of course the script was so very funny.

Title: Re: TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT’S CLOSING NIGHT

The counterpoint duet -- one of the great musical comedy devices, expertly composed and put to great use. But this score overall is Grade A merchandise. Every song works perfectly, and there isn't too little or too much of anything.

I also like what DR Elmore said, which I will paraphrase as both Eric and Hartley looking their parts ... AND the fact of the characters' ages and obvious changes over the twenty years not being an issue in this meeting.

And having gotten somewhat more familiar with Hartley over the past year or so, I thought she showed incredible star qualities in this role. This thing is up close and personal due to its very nature, and I was blown away by what she brought to it.

Post by: ChasSmith on February 15, 2021, 07:38:19 AM
The show held up for me just fine through three viewings, and the Zoom sessions were much fun. We will indeed have to have one of our own sometime.

I was a little surprised that Annabelle didn't join, since...you never know...there could have been an agent in our midst.
Title: Re: TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT’S CLOSING NIGHT
Post by: ChasSmith on February 15, 2021, 07:49:23 AM
I'd like to join DR Jrand70 and whoever else has asked that a songbook be made available.

In the opening night Zoom session Richard Allen printed and held up one page of one song. Such a tease! I, for one, would always value having the music for this or any other show. The WELCOME TO MY WORLD book is excellent (right down to the spiral binding!), and I can only step up and say, "Please sir, I want some more."

I think Hartley’s When You’re Looking for Love got me most yesterday. She really does wonders with the song, at times wistful, at times sad, at times realistic, but ever hopeful.
Title: Re: TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT’S CLOSING NIGHT
Post by: John G. on February 15, 2021, 07:56:53 AM
I’ve been reading Dolly Parton’s massive Songteller book, which is a collection of more than 200 of her lyrics plus tons of photos and memorabilia. Think of it as a country version of Robert Kimball’s Cole.

She never had anybody correct her imperfect rhymes, so they probably only bother a purist like me. Her craft is certainly there, but at times she seems to be working from a first draft, as if she couldn’t be bothered to polish anything.

Bottom line: it makes me appreciate the hard work and care in Simply even more than I did last year when I read it several times.
Title: Re: TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT’S CLOSING NIGHT
Post by: singdaw on February 15, 2021, 08:22:07 AM
TOD: I loved all of it, but as has been mentioned, especially the two "interior" songs, one sung by each character apart from the other. Also love the opening number, the closing number, and the counterpoint number. But really, they're all great.
Title: Re: TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT’S CLOSING NIGHT
Post by: singdaw on February 15, 2021, 08:23:05 AM
And Hartley's character is a bit caustic at first, but you learn why, and the "kid" is the leavening agent.

I'll drink to that!  I don't think she's ever looked so pretty in her Kritzerland numbers.  She's really quite lovely.

That was my favorite number and I liked that the "real" He and She were silent.  I felt like there was some growth in their new relationship while we were hearing their inner voices.

That sequence reminded me of a one-act we did when I was in high school.  It was called "Overtones" and featured a couple of high-toned ladies having tea together.  While they were being very mannerly and cordial, their alter-egos were behind them engaging in a verbal cat fight.  I played one of the "ladies."

I was frankly surprised that neither she nor Thatch jumped onto the computer table for some affection.  She lay in my director's chair and Thatch kept walking past me and grabbing my knee (those claws!) for attention.

I am sorry and not really surprised.  Our sidewalks have not been shoveled, only enough room for the cars has been plowed.   There is only one cleared guest parking spot, and that is because a car was parked there during the snow storm.

Trash can has been retrieved.   Lots of snow blowing and very cold....and still falling snow.....

So it's headed your way DR GINNY!

We had pretty snow earlier, but it’s changed to sleet and freezing rain.  They’ve reduced our projected snow depth, but now we’re having an ice storm.  I’d prefer snow.

Cav/Pag on Wednesday, with Troyanos, Domingo, and Stratas.

Yes to Don Giovanni.

And a 1997 Carmen on Saturday that I may not have seen.

Thank you. A very good week.

I've always loved "When You're Waiting for Love."  Hartley sang it wonderfully. ;D

While I was watching, I kept thinking about how Hollywood would screw it up and cast glamorous people like George Clooney and Julia Roberts in the roles. What I liked about the piece was that Eric and Hartley were not "glamorous," and their physical changes of the past twenty years weren't an issue.

Exactly.  The characters are essentially real people with typical real people issues.  They're not glamorous people.  It would be like Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune.  Edie Falco and Stanley Tucci were in the original Broadway production, but when they made the movie, they cast Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino.

DR CHAS SMITH in my ZOOM set up.....down in the tray at the bottom of the screen there is a CAMERA icon....if you click on the little tab on it you get a selection of things.....

Change background etc.....and one of them is Video Filters.  If you check the Filters you get a selection of things including hats, glasses, rabbit ears, etc that you can add to your face.

I also always go to the top right and click to get GALLERY VIEW so that I can see everyone in the group.

I was on my tablet the last time, so I didn't have any of those options, not even gallery view.  I could only see whoever was speaking, or just making noise.

TOD:

I think Hartley’s When You’re Looking for Love got me most yesterday. She really does wonders with the song, at times wistful, at times sad, at times realistic, but ever hopeful.

Last year, my friend Mark started up a vocal workshop and I went to a couple of sessions.  He used to have these years ago, and I was involved for several years before he moved back to California.  We had only two, maybe three sessions this time, and then everything shut down. :P Hopefully, he'll be able to start it back up again.

I think I liked the four solos by Eric and Hartley, plus the last duet.

But I loved every song in the show.
