DR Elmore:  If you think Josh would be around this afternoon I'll keep an eye out for him. I would of course love to say hi to Rob as well, but certainly not to bother him. Not that I'd expect to see him lollying about on a matinee day.

It goes without saying (so I will say it) that I look forward to hearing this more than I can say (so I won't say it).

I've been watching a most curious DVD of Offenbach's La Vie Parisienne, which contains 2/3 of the traditional score as set after its 1873 revision and approximately a third of music that was cut before the original production opened. The editors of this version went back to the libretto and score submitted to the censor before rehearsals began to reconstruct the edition. Musically, it's very well done, and the unfamiliar numbers are a delight. The cast is good, but the direction, choreography and design are really pathetic, the nadir coming in a new Act Three quintet on the beauties of Parisian women where the male dancers in drag perform a fashion show of corsets and lingerie.

I just polished up my opera glasses for the first time in years. I might just take them, even though we'll already be in the sweet spot (grand tier center).

It sure is a different experience looking through and fine-tuning something like this, now that I have two eyes with equal vision. I mean, they actually work. Imagine!

In that vein of free spending for everything Sondheim,

Here's one in my Shameless Shilling for YouTube Views. :)

This was from Feb. 2020, with the perspective of sensing a "Premium Decade" coming for the 2020s:

"Another Hundred Millionaires Got Off of Their Phones"-
Parody of "Another Hundred People" from "Company"

I'm certainly not clairvoyant, so this trend must have been in the so-called geist even back in Feb. 2020 as a feeling for what was coming, and we see now was there even for Sondheim shows.

And it looks like the open wallets are there for the auction too.

Watching the rest of 2 Weeks in Another Town. Leslie Uggams singing Don’t Blame Me while Kirk Douglas has a nervous breakdown is probably the best scene in the movie. Cyd Charisse wears a negligee that matches her sheets. And there’s an Italian song about Dracula and the cha-cha.

Your film reports are very entertaining.
