Topic of the Day:  I certainly was a fan of Dame Edna's!  I got to see her live and in person in Seattle, back in the mid-to-late 90s, or the early 2000s (I don't remember exactly when).  I LOVED her version of "Losing My Mind."  I remember when I first heard it, I laughed my ass off! :D

The only negative, however, is that after Barry died, it came out (no pun intended) that he was quite homophobic and transphobic. :-\

So, my smartwatch that I'd had since I got my first smartphone in 2016 died a slow death over the last few months (that original smartphone died a couple of years ago).  The watch still worked and paired easily with the replacement smartphone, but the battery just couldn't keep a charge longer than five hours or so anymore.  So, I bought a new Android smartwatch on Amazon and it arrived yesterday!

This new watch is able to to count steps, read your blood oxygen level, read your blood pressure (although reviews question the accuracy), remind you to drink water and get up after no activity, but the features that work are the option to place and answer calls, and change the watch face.

This morning, thanks to assistant conductor Jae Hwan, there was a link to mp3s of yesterday's rehearsal. It sounds like music, not the garbled noise on Zoom, so I am quite relieved. I also got a Zoom invitation from Sarah Wroth, the ballet director, to attend a rehearsal on Thursday and be introduced to the dancers.

Interesting question of what it means to be retired when you still go on performing.

Michael G - Does that mean that for yourself, even if there are reviews and newspaper coverage, one might not  think of performing in a show like "Corpus Evita" to be work as far as some of the performers  are concerned?

It looked like for the writer and creatives and producers, they thought of it as a business venture, though.

Michael G, last night you mentioned "I retired last year, so no more work travel for me."

Interesting question of what it means to be retired when you still go on performing.

I'm an amateur singer. While the leads and creative team at West Bay are all professionals, the chorus is volunteer. The same is true for many symphony choruses. Boston's is all volunteer. San Francisco has a core of AGMA singers and the rest are volunteers.

So retirement means more time for performing. My professional work is software engineering.

Except the city is replacing the seats in our theater and doing some other upgrades, so no May opera this year like we usually have.

Here's another shameless parody self-promo (to help nudge the YouTube views a bit, if possible - LOL)

THE MILLER'S SONG (LOSING MY SIGN)-HENRY MILLER'S GHOST gripes, but OKs renaming his theater for Mr. Sondheim as the new Stephen Sondheim Theater
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phlrsBx23O0

From 1:46 to 2:35 of that "Losing My Mind" parody, I had quite a bit of content about Dame Edna in the lyrics, with no subtlety about it.   Dame Edna's "All About Me" was the last show at the old Henry Miller Theater before it became the Sondheim.

That "Rainbow High" parody OF "Forbidden Broadway" from the other day had nudges in the YouTube view count, from the few places I posted it, like here on HHW and on castrecl and the Times comments allowed me to put the link there, too.  (And Facebook too, of course).

I also saw DAME EDNA on tour.....and everyone was laughing so hard including me.

About ten minutes after the show started, some late comers wandered in and were trying to get to their seats.

Dame Edna stopped the show and asked them where they were from....they said Carmel.....just north of Indy.  She looked them up and down and said:  "I came all the way from Australia and I got here on time."

I'm sure it was a line she used at each show.....but it was very funny...

 TOD:

My initial exposure to Dame Edna was on television, but I had occasion to see her live twice when I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area"

In 2004, I saw her "Back With A Vengeance" show at the Curran Theater.  The audience howled most of the performance, and I was howling along with it.

In 2008, her "Live and Intimate in Her First Last Tour" played at the Post Theater.  The Assistant Director of the GSA I worked for treated me to the show as a reward for the house-sitting I had done for her over the past year.  We both laughed and cried and it was a great show.

In the show I saw in 2004, she commented on the manner of casual dress she could see on patrons from the stage.  She had a few exchanges with some of the audience, and then held her hand over her eyes and looked up toward the balcony.  "If this is how you dress in the prime seats, what must they be wearing up in the balcony?  Trash bags?"

Well, I listened to yesterday's orchestra rehearsal, and I think most of it will sound wonderful. The closing Charleston needs some help; there's too much booming percussion, and there are no saxes so it will need to be tweaked in two weeks.

BK, might you be interested in releasing a commercial recording?

Just got back.....I guess the Martians were trying their earth invasion again.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, who knows nothing and speaks highly of it, would blame those Jewish space lasers.


Jewish space lasers?  Would that be like the butcher Laser Wolf?   :)

Cheetos: plain or crunchy?

This morning, thanks to assistant conductor Jae Hwan, there was a link to mp3s of yesterday's rehearsal. It sounds like music, not the garbled noise on Zoom, so I am quite relieved. I also got a Zoom invitation from Sarah Roth, the ballet director, to attend a rehearsal on Thursday and be introduced to the dancers.

That's great, Larry!

No, you have company! I never saw or heard her until listening to Losing My Mind a few weeks ago. Since I don't know her work, that track felt like glimpsing a party you weren't invited to. No problem, that's why there's a skip button.

Jodie Comer won the Tony and a slew of other awards for Prima Facie, which Susie Miller based on her novel. It’s about a barrister who is raped. Comer reads the original novel on audio. It’s a powerful performance that really gets into the fears and follies of this woman who never imagined herself in this position. It’s hard to listen to at times, but Comer keeps you moving forward.

I could only take Dame Edna in small doses. Losing My Mind being one of them, possums. I found that inspired.


Here's another shameless parody self-promo (to help nudge the YouTube views a bit, if possible - LOL)

THE MILLER'S SONG (LOSING MY SIGN)-HENRY MILLER'S GHOST gripes, but OKs renaming his theater for Mr. Sondheim as the new Stephen Sondheim Theater
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phlrsBx23O0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phlrsBx23O0)

From 1:46 to 2:35 of that "Losing My Mind" parody, I had quite a bit of content about Dame Edna in the lyrics, with no subtlety about it.   Dame Edna's "All About Me" was the last show at the old Henry Miller Theater before it became the Sondheim.

Well docs called and told us they got further culture results and the antibiotic we were given was useless, so we got a new prescription and then no Walgreens or CVS had the stuff but we found a small pharmacy that did, so I drove an hour to Bellingham and then our insurance wouldn’t pay because it was out of network, so the pharmacist was nice enough to reduce the price from $1200 to $800, so there you have life in these modern times.

The only difference this time was the audience treated Revelations like America’s Got Talent. They whooped and hollered and cheered every solo. They knew the movements, every famous turn. And the dancers loved it. They responded.

I guess that's a good thing.

Days of Wine and Roses is closing earlier than expected. Not really a surprise.

Darn.

How is the little mini Rodzgirl today?

Well docs called and told us they got further culture results and the antibiotic we were given was useless, so we got a new prescription and then no Walgreens or CVS had the stuff but we found a small pharmacy that did, so I drove an hour to Bellingham and then our insurance wouldn’t pay because it was out of network, so the pharmacist was nice enough to reduce the price from $1200 to $800, so there you have life in these modern times.

Rodzinski, have you heard of the GoodRX (https://www.goodrx.com/) app (it's also a website)?  A friend uses that and actually saves a lot of money.
