Well, Cannibal! The Musical! is over and done with.  We had a great audience for our last show yesterday (several of my co-workers were there but they didn't stick around afterward) and overall, it was a great run.

We spent about a half hour after the show taking pictures.  However, after the pictures, we were all supposed to help with strike, but a lot of people left before it was all done, and only a few (about eight) stayed the whole time.  We put what was left into storage and were done by about 9:30 pm (the show ended at about 5:00).  A few of us who were left, went to our director's house for pizza...very good pizza. :)

BK -  There are probably two or three people to record on May 11.  If you wanted to see a show that afternoon, Skip can schedule the recording around your schedule, since the recording studio is only three to ten blocks from almost all Broadway theaters.

Got nice reaction to the parody song about the Royal Kiss, but several folks said it needed to have a "girl  group" sing it, so we didd it up with the royal treatment  :)

Good morning, all! More weird dreams, none of which I can remember beyond a house with haunted rooms and the use of a threaded needle. Otherwise, I slept well.

This morning, I have a trip to Staples to photocopy a couple of Christmas spmgs from the Appalachians. "I Wish I Was Single Again" is not a Christmas song, but not every song in this piece we're working on is a number pertaining to Christmas or New Year's. I'm still looking for a moving song about death in the coal mines and a few comic ones about moonshine.

Here's the women's version, and there's also a men's version collected by Alan Lomax that will hopefully go in counterpoint to this:
When I was single, went dressed so fine
Now I am married, go ragged all the time
  I wish I was a single girl again, O Lord
  Don't I wish I was a single girl again!

When I was single, my shoes did squeak
Now I am married, my shoes they do leak
  I wish . . .

When I was single, ate biscuit and pie
Now I am married it's cornbread or die
  I wish . . .

Cows needin' milkin' and supper to get
Them blame little children is all cryin' yet
  I wish . . .

Three little babies crying for bread
With none to give them, I'd rather be dead
  I wish . . .

Osama is dead! I'd only be happier if the same news arrived about Lady Macbeth.

This is a long day: I need to stop by Toyland and check out the office before I head to the NYU Dental Clinic at 2pm. God knows how long I'll be there.

DR Jose, yes, in 1998 I was the subject of an article in OPERA NEWS about the restoration of the 1938 BOYS FROM SYRACUSE. There were complications on the project: one of the music staff at R&H, who never backed up his computer, lost the entire vocal score he had created under my direction, so Rodgers & Hammerstein cannot make the show available except on special occasions. The band parts are the originals, cleaned up and in some cases recopied by me, but there is no vocal score.

TOD:

A few years ago there was a little film called AWAY WE GO directed by Sam Mendes that I thought was absolutely wonderful in every way, but was pretty much dismissed by the critics and ignored by audiences.  Maya Rudolph, who I think was one of the best SNL cast members ever, gave what I think was the best female performance of that year.  And yet, she was not nominated for any major award.

Post by: Dan (the Man) on May 02, 2011, 06:24:56 AM
I was expecting a night of bad dreams when I went to sleep last night, but instead I had an oddly pleasant one.  It was more of a memory dream--something I actually remember happening:  it was back in the 70's and my sister and I were watching an ABC Movie of the Week about a beauty pageant.  One of the contestants in the movie had a hidden agenda--she was a "woman's libber" who planned on disrupting the nationally televised pageant with a speech that condemned the sexism of the ceremony.  Well, of course, she wound up being crowned the winner and instead of delivering her speech found herself being swept up in the moment and wholeheartedly accepted her new role.  My sister was furious at this and went into her own diatribe about how implausible it all was.  And in my dream, just as I did back then, I sat back smiled and took a certain delight in how a simple TV movie could have such an effect on a person.  Not a very dramatic dream but a very satisfying one.

I also watched the episode of his game show Take a Good Look which is included in the new Kovacs boxed set, and I must say, I did NOT understand the putative "clues" (which are acted out in skits) to the first guest's "secret identity."  The second guest's "clues" were explained, but not the first guest's.  If you get the set, watch how the first guest, a high school teacher, reads the cue card about his accomplishment along with Kovacs, it's hilarious.

Most anything by Robert Altman, especially "The Gingerbread Man" and "Cookie's Fortune."

I'll second ArnoldMBrockman's "The Stunt Man" (for a movie nominated for best picture, it still feels unjustly neglected)

DR FJL, we need a Downtown Downton Abbey parody.

Was that a reference to the UPTURN GIRL parody about Christie Brinkley that I put in the "New York Times comment box" when she filled the box office coffers at CHICAGO?  (If I've posted this here already, let me know and I'll edit this out.)



Over $900,000 for Christie Brinkley in CHICAGO!!!  In the show’s 15th year!

UPTURN GIRL
Tune of UPTOWN GIRL

Upturn Girl
Christie’s rocking our investors’ world
We’d had a lot of times our weekly nut
May have suggested it was time to shut
It scared us but -

Now our Upturn Girl
Gets the audience from ‘round the world
As long as Christie’s here to sell a seat
No way we’re going downward in defeat
That's what we’ll tweet

And soon she’ll know what
The press will opi-i-ine
And soon she’ll hear
If they cheer or they whi-i-ine
She'll know if after all
She should stay
On through fall

She’s our Upturn Girl
You know that Barry likes to be a churl
But Barry’s smiling in our fifteenth year
And praying Christie still wants to appear
When summer’s here
 
Dough-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (2x)

Upturn Girl
There’s our Upturn Girl
Our grosses mean love
For our Upturn Girl
Our Upturn Girl
You know they’re in love
With our Upturn Girl

Speaking of DR TCB--my method of cleaning shower tile grout is to make a paste out of Comet cleanser and vinegar (I used to use RealLemon juice, but it's not as acidic as it used to be.)  I use a fingernail cleaning brush to work it into the grout, but it doesn't take much elbow grease to get it to work.  Great for the tile, too.

Next week is the TWO HOUR finale.....for some reason CBS is burning it off in one night.....of course, last night.....with the cowboys gone.....I was a bit uninterested myself.

I am hoping the new first place team self destructs as they deserve to lose big time for the help they scored last week.

DR JMK - my least favorite team is now in first place and the eliminated team has been arguing for a few weeks now.

Next week is the TWO HOUR finale.....for some reason CBS is burning it off in one night.....of course, last night.....with the cowboys gone.....I was a bit uninterested myself.

I am hoping the new first place team self destructs as they deserve to lose big time for the help they scored last week.

And if that's a spoiler, get over it DR's - it's a TV show

With Marge and Luke and the Cowboys gone, my interest in the rest of the season is also null.

No one else stands out for me.....although the sisters and Gary and Mallory would be nice winners.

Monday morning greetings, and thank you, HHW, for being my "breaking news" source with the news about the death of ObL.  I went to bed very early last night and, for some reason looked at last night's posts as soon as I got up about 8 this morning.  Wonderful news, indeed.

I was helping with strike at the theater last night, when Pug, our director, got a text message from a friend of hers.  She just announced out loud, "They got bin Laden!"  People started asking her questions about what happened and she could only say that the President announced that they got bin Laden...her friend didn't text any more information than that.

I was expecting a night of bad dreams when I went to sleep last night, but instead I had an oddly pleasant one.  It was more of a memory dream--something I actually remember happening:  it was back in the 70's and my sister and I were watching an ABC Movie of the Week about a beauty pageant.  One of the contestants in the movie had a hidden agenda--she was a "woman's libber" who planned on disrupting the nationally televised pageant with a speech that condemned the sexism of the ceremony.  Well, of course, she wound up being crowned the winner and instead of delivering her speech found herself being swept up in the moment and wholeheartedly accepted her new role.  My sister was furious at this and went into her own diatribe about how implausible it all was.  And in my dream, just as I did back then, I sat back smiled and took a certain delight in how a simple TV movie could have such an effect on a person.  Not a very dramatic dream but a very satisfying one.

;D

My eldest sister believes she has "travel karma," by which she means every time she leaves to go somewhere, something "big" happens in the news.  Her trips out here from the east coast have included 9/11 and two major earthquakes/tsunamis.  Guess who left for China last night?  :)

Interesting.

Of course, I have a Janie Sell parody and a Pam Myers parody - doesn't everyone?


OVER HER (based on OVER HERE),


Now we’re here singing and we’re dancing to that Sherman score
Huffin’ and a-wheezin’  til we can’t take no more
But all our hard work has gotten shot right to hell
‘Cause of that young siren known as Janie Sell

We give our all
And what a switch
Critics all went flacky-wacky over that b*tch

We're over her, oo-oobli-poo
We hate her guts ‘cause she's stealing our show
We're over her, oo-oobli-poo
She makes us nuts and we wish she would blow

While Miss Sell steals scenes so sweetly
We sisters are completely
Over her
Oo-oo-oobli-poo

We hate her
Can’t tell you how much we hate her
All the critics want to date her
We’re getting’ bored
Watch her win our Tony award

We’re over her, oo-oobli-poo
We thought this show’s a big comeback for us
We’re over her, oo-oobli-poo
The hatred grows as they’re makin’ a fuss

Though we’ll do our bis-tu-shein-ing
You’ll hear us both complaining
We’re over her
Oo-oo-oobli-poo!

And not a Pam Myers spoof per se, but one of her great roles, reacting to the recent COMPANY concert ticket situation

alternate lyric, tune of "Another Hundred People"

Another hundred donors just got off of the phone
And paid plenty of dough
While another hundred donors just got off of their butts
And their seats are so-so
As another hundred donors who love Patti LuPone
Now are starting to futz
With their cute little phone
‘Cause Colbert got their butts
Into gear today

It’s a city of patrons
Some love LuPone / and the play
A city of patrons
Some love Colbert / so they pay
And so today
We call and say:

Please find me tickets in the crowded loge or the upper tier,
If it’s Avery Fisher, no I do not mind a side aisle in the rear
It’s Colbert and Patti, we just want to be there, we don’t have to hear

We don’t need the party, ‘cause it’s too expensive so I’m saying no
Oh, I lost my job, but though it's tough all over we just have to go
Yes I know it's sounding like I like to moan
Would you take a check, my Visa’s maxed out to the bone
And I know last year I spent more and I do not like your tone

And another hundred donors just got off of the phone (5x)

We get a few, Vixmom. Mostly a little higher elevation and where it's a little greener. This was taken at the arboretum, which is greener and higher.

GUESS WHO'S BACK.

BACK AGAIN.

VIXTER'S BACK.

POST A FRIEND.

-"Lovingly" ripped off from Eminem.


...- Scratch that, not a great artist.

You listen to Eminem?
No, it was my "walk-in" for the second season of KoD though, remember? "The Boss"?

You think I[/b] would have recognized that "music"?

TOD: The Fisher King. Finally got around to watching the DVD I bought a few months back. I had forgotten some scenes, such as the waltz in Grand Central. Truly beautiful.

Well...

I think the news cycle over the past 24 hours has left me a little unsettled and scattered. -Which is neither a good thing nor a bad thing. It's just a thang. And I think IT is definitely in the air here in NYC, so...

Time for me to unplug for a bit.

Goodnight.

I hadn't logged onto HHW for a few days,  and I think that I may have missed Vixmom's birthday (at least I know I wished her a happy birthday on Facebook...presumably it really was her birthday)...


so....an official HHW birthday wish from me to Vixmom.

Thank you Mike, Barbara and Frank however my birthday is not until August - The Vixter however became a registered voter on Friday 



Why were we wishing you a happy birthday on Facebook? Or was that somebody else?

Oh, now I see...DR Jane had wished the Vixter a happy birthday, on Vicky Mom's Facebook page. Then former DR Tomofoz wished Vicky Mom a happy birthday, evidently misreading DR Jane's post...and I followed Tom's lead.

Back from a fun dinner, a fun work session, and a fun visit to Farmer's Market for a soft vanilla cone.  We finished all the arrangements save for a White Christmas medley, which we'll do soon.  I have such shorthand with Boswell that it just goes very quickly and we have some wonderful stuff now and everything has proper beginnings and ends and routines.  He'll also create some sheet music for my song.

Cilla -

Apparently I fell sleep last night awaiting the presidents speech and then woke up after ir was over but unaware I had been sleeping  and missed it already

does that make sense?

Yes, it was a very short speech, I can believe that you slept through it

I had a Vixmom kind of day....I was at the office until 8:45 pm....over 12 hours.   Actually, I thought my brief was due today. It wasn't until I was looking at how I'm supposed to deal with exhibits when filing electronically that I realized that it's not due until next monday.  It's a good thing.  Now it's done and I have tomorrow to review it for "tired mistakes".

Oh, no...Attack of the 50 Foot Woman Star Yvette Vickers Found Mummified in Home (http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/entertainment-eonline/20110503/b239774/)! :(

Quote
Former Playboy pinup and B-movie actress Yvette Vickers died at the age of 82. But it wasn't until a year later—last Wednesday—that her mummified body was found in her Beverly Hills home.

Neighbor Susan Savage found the Attack of the 50 Foot Woman star lying on the floor of an upstairs room, after pushing open a barricaded front gate, "scaling a hillside", climbing through a broken window and pushing through stacks of "clothes, junk mail and letters" to reach her, according to the Los Angeles Times....
