We watched Up last night and really enjoyed it. The whole opening sequence was lovely although there were two "kicks in the gut"I enjoyed that one quite a lot. Some great laughs in it. And not as maudlin as I would have thought.

For those who may have been errant and truant yesterday (and you know who you are), here is the new Kritzerland release. If you want to pre-order today, it's 19.98 plus 3.75 shipping paid via paypal to kritzerland at adelphia dot net.
KRITZERLAND IS PROUD TO PRESENT A VERY SPECIAL 2 CD RELEASE:
PROMISES, PROMISES
Original Cast Album
Music by Burt Bacharach Lyrics by Hal David
On December 1, 1968, Promises, Promises, the musical version of Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond’s The Apartment, opened at the Shubert and took Broadway by storm. The show was such a breath of fresh air, with its hilarious book by Neil Simon, and pop-sounding and brilliant score by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. When that overture began, you knew the sound of Broadway had just changed forever – it was electric in the best way. The show garnered rave reviews and ran 1,281 performances. The show was nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and took home the prize for Jerry Orbach (Best Actor) and Marian Mercer (Best Supporting Actress).
One of the reasons the sound of the show seemed so innovative was that Bacharach brought in Broadway’s first recording-type mixing board. Also his use of four pit singers doing back-up vocals was unique. The show’s orchestrations were by the young up-and-coming Jonathan Tunick, who honored the Bacharach sound while adding a few wonderful touches of his own. The cast recording won a Grammy, and the show produced several hit songs, including two for Dionne Warwick – “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again,” and “Promises, Promises” (she also recorded “Knowing When To Leave,” “Wanting Things” and “Whoever You Are”). Bacharach himself covered five of the songs on his A&M album Make It Easy On Yourself.
This is the third CD release for the original cast recording of Promises, Promises. The first was issued on Ryko, and then that release was reissued by Varese Sarabande. Why a third release? Simple: neither of those releases were the actual cast album as released on LP – the original mix. Ryko remixed the album from the original eight-track edited session masters and that newly mixed album was also used for the Varese release. So, this is actually the first appearance of the Grammy award-winning original album mix – newly remastered, of course. The two-track album masters were in excellent shape.
But the raison d’etre of this release was to present a second CD with a newly mixed version (from those original and great-sounding eight-track edited session masters) that, with today’s technology, could finally fix most of the issues that plagued the original cast album. As most know, cast albums were always recorded in one day (it’s still the same today, but there are a few shows that go to two and even three days), and the pressure was always on to get everything finished without going into overtime, and then to mix it quickly (frequently in a day or two) and have it in stores instantly. Compromises sometimes had to be made. And so, there have always been pitch issues with some of the vocals – they simply got it as good as they could get it and out it came. We went in, and, without compromising anything but the actual pitchiness, corrected the faulty pitches throughout. We were also able to take our time with the mix and you’ll hear things in the orchestration you’ve never heard, and even an occasional little vocal thing that was left off the original album (listen to “You’ll Think of Someone”). So, it’s a whole new listening experience, and one we’re especially happy to have been able to do. We’ve also put the tracks in their correct show order for the first time.
It is the greatest of pleasures to be able to present this special edition two CD set of Promises, Promises – the original Grammy award-winning album, and our fresh and newly remixed version in show order, with the vocals sounding like they never have before. With the brand new revival of the show on Broadway, you won’t want to miss this limited edition set of the original cast recording sounding like it never has before, and featuring the great performances of Jerry Orbach, Jill O’Hara, Marian Mercer, and the rest of the wonderful cast.
This release is limited to 1000 copies only. For this special 2 CD set we’ve kept the price at our usual single disc cost of $19.98 plus shipping.
CD will ship by the first week of August – however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early). To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

I think Sweeney Todd will win for Best MusicalI'm betting on "Kiss Me, Kate"
A friend of mine (female) just sent me this, "A Woman's Poem."LOLHe didn't like the casserole,
And he didn't like my cake,
He said my biscuits were too hard
Not like his mother used to make.
I didn't perk the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Then I turned and
smacked the shit out of him...
Like his mother used to do.

BK, I found your Broadwayworld.com comments about blogs and reviewers quite interesting. we have on the Rccording List a "reviewer" who knows nothing about anything and seems to write his reviews on what he learns from asking questions to posters on the List. Oy!
I took my cans back to the redemption center this morning. I had so many the refund covered the cost of my breakfast.
I'm going to go deliver a big box o' CDs to the local dealer, after which, I shall return.
I must say, the between the cast recording list (I let them announce Promises early, as I've done for other show releases) and here, I've had more pre-pre orders than for any other title. I only hope it continues that trend when the official announcement goes out.

I am a total incompetent. I have no mechanical skills whatsoever. I was so tired of Nicky and I sufferring through the heat during the summer months. So, this year I broke down and bought one of these portable(?) air contioners that you didn't have to install in your window. Since I have sliders, and since I rent; I didn't want to hassle with installing a regular air conditioner in the bedroom and then having to block out the light when I was sleeping. Also, my bedroom window is about twelve feet off the ground; and you don't want to see me build something on a ladder.
So today I take this thirty-five pound (portable) air conditioner and then sit here for an hour trying to figure out how to install this Window Panel Adapter. And within the first half hour I have already lost the packet of four screws needed for installation. And to make it worse, my neighbors in the townhouse to the north are lounging in their backyard and staring at the stooge show I am performing. Grrrrrrrrr!

I thought that they kiss was cute and funny...I certainly didn't get the impression that it was supposed to be believable.
Promises, Promises is a 1968 musical in which Hayes plays a low-level corporate nebbish who lets his on-the-make bosses use his apartment for trysts with the gals in the secretarial pool. He has three assignments in the show: He has to be funny and nervous; he has to manifest a crush on his costar Kristin Chenoweth; and when he’s excited, he has to burst into song. And you’re telling me that being gay is an impediment for this particular role? It’s practically a prerequisite! Besides which, I have to ask: Mr. Setoodeh, are you new here? This is Broadway musical theater. If you have a serious problem with gay actors playing straight roles, you’re going to have a lot of free evenings on your hands.
