Well, speaking of Rodgers & Hammerstein...Topic of the Day:  the brand new studio recording of State Fair and the 20th Century-Fox Songbook (https://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=2CDLX7408) (but nothing else by R&S).

I ordered it directly from Dutton's (https://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/) website.  It was a few dollars cheaper than both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk, so that made it worth it. :)

I agree with most of BK's comments about the glorious and splendiferous Flower Drum Song, a wonderful movie adaptation, but Carousel remains my favorite R&H score. After a complete dud, Me and Juliet, they provided a wonderful score and lousy book for Pipe Dream, and then bounced back to finish off their collaboration brilliantly with Cinderella, and their trips to Chinatown and Salzburg.

Last night, Spielberg's "1941". Just because I hadn't seen it since 1980 and I'd been curious about it lately.

Wow. Some interesting things, and very interesting seeing the extensive cast now, but what a misfire. We're going to watch the very long Making Of soon, just to satisfy our curiosity about some things, and then that will be that.

Well......my cousin Lita was walking down her ramp outside her front door, carrying a basket of laundry she had done for an older lady she takes care of.

She fell.  Her husband was backing his van out of the driveway and didn't see her and ran her over.....breaking both her legs.

Three bones in the right leg took surgery to fix.....one bone in the left leg was set normally.

She is out of surgery and doing okay.....

It had stuff in it. But it wasn’t overflowing. I just didn’t want half of what I brought back. My sisters foisted it off on me.

Well......my cousin Lita was walking down her ramp outside her front door, carrying a basket of laundry she had done for an older lady she takes care of.

She fell.  Her husband was backing his van out of the driveway and didn't see her and ran her over.....breaking both her legs.

Three bones in the right leg took surgery to fix.....one bone in the left leg was set normally.

She is out of surgery and doing okay.....

Oh, my goodness!! :o

I scheduled a Lyft ride to the ophthalmologist yesterday and was surprised when he showed up in a Tesla. I think it was my first time in a Tesla, which shocked the driver. “Don’t you use Lyft much?” As if all Lyft drivers drive Teslas.

The very first rhyme in the show is a false rhyme.

The big change for the movie was to make Evan middle-aged.

Ha! He got held back a decade or so.

Has this been discussed here?

The director of the gender-switched COMPANY is hoping to make a movie of that version of the show.

That might be cool...IF they cast people who can actually sing!


For a movie, is there any reason they can't dub some of the singing, like Hollywood used to?

That doesn't seem to happen anymore.  They make the weak voices seem stronger rather than hire stronger (or al least, better than average) singers.

After the (mispronounced) Kamala song (which otherwise was really good), the next YouTube suggestion was this:

BK, what can you tell me about Cerberus Records, the label that released “Together Again” and also a few albums by David Spear who did the music to The Creature Wasn’t Nice? Is it a coincidence that  Spear and you had projects on that label?
Title: Re: A HUNDRED MILLION MIRACLES

I don’t recall if the label was mentioned in Album Produced By…

That album was mentioned in the first memoir - There's Mel, There's Woody, and There's You. Hope Rodzinski is enjoying Directed by.

Cerberus was/is owned by Richard Jones, Muse Margaret's ever-lovin' hubby. I think Richard knew David already, but he really may have known him from The Creature, as Margaret was in it. He did quite a few albums back in the day - several Morricone scores, including La Cage Aux Folles, Zulu Dawn by Elmer Bernstein - some stuff from CBS - radio and TV stuff by Bernard Herrmann, etc.

Has anyone seen the movie version of Dear Evan Hansen?

I did, but I haven't seen the show yet.  It's supposed to come here to the Washington Center this upcoming season. :)

I heard they made some changes to the story line for the movie.

I'd heard that, too, but I don't know how it originally was written.
