I slept in. It got very chilly last night, and sometime around 5:00 my warm bed became very tempting to all the cats who crowded in to sleep off the chill. The alarm rang at 6:00, and I turned it off and wnet back to sleep for another hour.

Elmore, to answer your question yesterday, the two women in the Globe cast were unknown to me and were the best members of the cast.

DR JohnG, if this was the video you watched, the Countess was played by Janie Dee, who played Phyllis in the last National Theatre productiion of Follies. In 2021, when I thought we had the funding to record Jubilee, I asked her to play the Queen; Kim Criswell recommended her.

From DR John:

Quote
Sad story. Van Dyke was supposedly a Christian Scientist. He had both cancer and heart problems, but, rather than seek treatment, he committed suicide.

This is very sad.  My father felt terrible for a patient of his, a Christian Scientist who felt betrayed by her religion after getting cancer. He spent many extra hours helping her emotionally cope with this and felt very bad for her.

Funny, kind of, about the pet door.  Growing up we had a pet door.  I never needed a key as I could slide through it, until I was 18.  Having large dogs we never had one as I remembered how easy it was for me to slip through the smaller doors ;D

Looking at the list on the back wall, and cross-checking with the David Drew's list of scenes in the Kurt Weill Handbook, it looks like somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 of the show hasn't been recorded in excerpts elsewhere.

The only issue was a key light that was out - I told the PSM that he should always do a light check pre-show, just in case. So, we had a dark spot where, unfortunately, a good amount of stuff takes place - it wasn't horrible but...

I try to remember (a The Fantasticks reference ;) ) to run my cues before each show.

There have been a few (fortunately, only a few) times where something went wrong while testing and that gave me the time to fix it. :-\

Very good news, BK.
