Nat King Cole: When I Fall in Love, Mona Lisa
And the word of the day is: MILQUETOAST!Milque can be found on aisle one; toast is in the bakery section. (Takes a grocery store man to know these things!)
While haunting a thrift shop in Berkeley, I found a cast LP from a Kander and Ebb show called "70 Girls 70". Anyone know anything about this?

See! Like minds! (Hi, DRElmore! :-*)
BK, watch your MANSION OF THE GHOST CAT movie and let JRand54 and I know what you thought of it!
DR Ginny, So what are your plans for NYC--how long are you going to be in town?
Whenever I think of Jack Jones, I think of the story that Faith Prince tells in her club act (and subsequent cd, "A Leap of Faith") of him going up on the lyric of "Come Back To Me."
MULE::ELUM
I especially love the verse -
Maybe I'm old-fashioned
Feeling like I do
Maybe I am living in the past
But when I meet the right one
I know that I'll be true
My first love will be my last
70 Girls 70 is one of my favorite K&E scores, too. Rodzinski, it's based on the old film "Make Mine Mink," though the musical has a "play within a play" format. And actually, the first pressing of the LP at least had a little insert that gave a precis and also had cast info. A CD was released years ago, you can probably find it on eBay or used record stores. Speaking of which, I found a used LP copy here in Portland that evidently belonged to none other than Dorothea Freitag (care to speculate on how that happened, Elmore?).

Once again RLP has returned - hopefully to tell us about his Cruise experience.
Michael Barnum is hunting Bears in WA
There was a revival of 70 Girls 70 in London (more PC and a couple of new songs) and the CD was recorded. TER 1971.
I suspect he's hunting bares.
I really find it hard to believe some producer(s) is/are going to risk millions on THE WOMAN IN WHITE on Broadway. Do they REALLY think that after a truly American iconic story turned musical like SUNSET BLVD. didn't make a dime that folks are going to be rushing to see this British gothic mystery musical (even if Lloyd Webber did write the music). Are they aware that the man has had a huge string of Broadway flops since PHANTOM? Haven't they looked at the grosses of the movie of PHANTOM? I think Lloyd Webber is basically over in this country as far as new material is concerned.
Lloyd Webber makes a zillion dollars a day; he produced the dreadful BOMBAY DREAMS, and he'll probably produce THE WOMAN IN WHITE to say it ran in Broadway. Then, some community theatres who don't think his work stinks will do it, just as they do all his other turkeys.
So, DR elmore, don't hold back; tell us what you really think of ALW!
I'm too reticent.
Yes, but they stupidly cut the elephant song! Where's Patsy? What did you have here? The Santini Brothers?Strange; I first heard the score when I was in college, with little if any understanding of New York City, and I always at least thought I understood the Santini line. Santini/sanitation. Made sense to me.
I never understood the Santini Brothers line until I moved to New York.
"Aspects of Love" IS a work of Art :PHorses and courses Matthew
I can't! I'm too reticent. Now I'm off to watch AMELIE.
Der Brucer is watching the epic film Troy on cable right now. The pervasive music is by James Horner. I don't mind when a composer sounds like himself, but there's too much of this score that sounds like his earlier Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn.

ALW's attempt to do his "A Little Night Music". A seedy tasteless book to begin with IMHO.
DR divarobbie - thanks for the heads-up on this CD. I just went upstairs to the AV department in my library, found it, and am now enjoying!
Yes, DRElmore, "Aspects" IS a mess, but I love it anyway. Don't we all have a show that's a mess that we love???
I'm gonna have a great time while I'm here. First of all, it was great seeing Brad Haak again. He was my conductor for Children of Eden last year - and he's the one who put the wheels in motion to get me up here. Just such a great guy all around. Very talented. Great biceps and pecs too!
;)
I was then introduced to the company. One of the guys in the cast remembered me from his SETC audition days. Oh, and Emily Skinner is in the cast too....
I LOVE EMILY SKINNER!! Jose, how long will you be with the show?
...Well... After walking around the Vassar campus for about an hour or so...There's something out of character about this statement...
Woody, the Santinis are a large moving company in NYC.The line still made sense to me. ;D
Try and locate the DVD of the film of "Whistle" with the delightful Hayley. My fondness for the innocence of the story and the characters has remained for 40 years. The book of the musical created havoc with the warmth of that film.
I have to look at the film and musical as two different animals indeed.
Then I was whisked off to the Deli where I picked up a Spicy Italian for my lunch. Then I joined the company after their lunch break...
:)
Hmmm, my dad saw War Of the Worlds and really did not like it. Apparently my brother-in-law's sister took her kids to see it and they didn't like it! (the little boy just turned 5 so i was kinda shocked they took him). I'm assuming this one is really not for kids, right? (he had to leave with grandma).The film is rated PG-13, 14A in Canada. Give them a rousing "Well, Duh!" next time you see them.
Mr Cruise's private life and "informed opinions" will not keep me away from the film. I quite liked "The Minority Report" but then it was not really an actor's film.Normally, I wouldn't judge a film by an actor's personal opinions, either. However, the timing of Mr. Cruise's statements about depression, combined with my personal experience with the disease, have turned me off at this time. I'll wait for the DVD to see the film.
Love Amanda McBroom. I just wasted over an hour playing that stupid game I haven't played in over a year - you know, that Bookworm game. I don't know why I started. Even though I was still going strong with over 500,000 points, I finally just closed it down.
