Yes we need that compilation, DR JOSE.
Thanks, DR Jose, for the Tony nominee listings.
In all fairness, I should also say that the Claritin-D is helping immensely!
DR elmore - The Théâtre du Châtelet production of Sweeney Todd got reviewed in The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/04/arts/04iht-loomis04.html).
I am confused (nothing new). On Sunday night, several news organizations said bin Laden had been killed LAST week and it was just now being reported. They spoke about Obama's "poker face" through all his public events. Now the news is saying bin Laden was killed Sunday night our time. What gives?

I am so happy that my friends Larry Blank and Larry Hochman have been nominated for Tony Awards for best orchestrations. I hope one of them gets the award. They've both deserved it for some time.

Evidently being named Larry determines your career path. :)
DR Jose, your post about the events of the day, which I would guess pertain to the City's reaction to binLaden's death, sounds portentous. I was surprised to find the news channel I watch had at both 6 and 11 pm "special editions" which I found rather ridiculous. OK. He's dead. I'm happy to hear it. There will be repercussion of some sort. It could be ugly. Is this unexpected news?
And there's the missing Robin Williams, too.
What, no nomination for Boyd Gaines?
What, no nomination for Boyd Gaines?
Don't they both have it written in their contracts that they will automatically get nominated?What, no nomination for Boyd Gaines?
Or was I supposed to respond this way, DR JohnG?
"Nor Audra McDonald."
;D
Frankly, I was surprised "Catch Me ..." got a nod for best musical. The Tony nominators usually pick something bizarre, like "Women on the Verge ..." or "Bloody, Bloody ..." that has already closed to send a message to the underachiever. "Catch Me ..." not getting nominated for book or score is another way of doing that, I guess.
I'm also wondering if some of the Bloody, Bloody snubs - including Benjamin Walker (and his jeans) - were a result of some of the awards and honors it received during it's original off-Broadway run at The Public during the previous season.Judging solely from the cast recording, it wasn't a very good show. And all the insight the critics found? Well, it comes off as being rather superficial and cliched.
All I know is that there better be some fun shows in NY when I am there in April.
OK...
I need to get ready to head out. The Big Gay Ice Cream hits the streets again today, and there's a social media panel being led by Gail Simmons at the James Beard Pop-Up in Chelsea Market. In other words... Free Food! ;)

I will admit the two times I've seen Gaines ("She Loves Me" and "Gypsy") that he was excellent in both.
DR elmore - Did you see that Bard SummerScape is doing Noël Coward's Bitter Sweet this summer?

I'm sure it's an order in Victoria Clark's contracts!
I think Boyd Gaines is a wonderful actor but a total jerk personally. I've only met him once but Lady Macbeth has more charm.
And the word of the day is: CALQUE!
I'm up. I was hoping to sleep until ten, but the phone rang at eight-thirty, awakening me from one of the weirdest dreams ever. I was directing some Irving Berlin revue or evening, and Mr. Berlin was making an appearance - in the dream, his brain and face had been grafted onto another person who now made appearances, although he seemed as old as Mr. Berlin would be know, had to have oxygen, and could only tell one story at a time then need an hour break. At one point Hugh Hefner came in the room and said hi to me. Go know.
TOD: I have several of Mamet's plays in print, but haven't gotten around to reading them.
But I love many of his movies:
Things Change
Homicide
Spanish Prisoner
Winslow Boy
House of Cards
But I am not a fan of Mrs. Mamet II, Rebecca Pigeon. She always seems to me to be an enormous black hole, sucking life out of anything she's in, including "RED." I once saw an album of hers and should have bought it (it was only $1). Anybody heard it?
I am SOOO excited to see Elton John tonight. I remember first hearing his music wafting from my brother's room...he was a fanatic when he was in high school. I remember pizza at Jake's when I was in jr. high with his music blaring on the juke box...and his songs have been around ever since. For me, he's one of the artists in the soundtrack of my life. His concert is a greatest hits concert. No opening act, 3 hours, no intermission....should be fun!
DR JMK - Here's a basic TIMELINE (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/05/02/world/asia/abbottabad-map-of-where-osama-bin-laden-was-killed.html) of the events from the New York Times (scroll down).

I came home to find a paypal "dispute" - one of our lovely customers said he always receives our CDs three days after he orders them. Now, that is, of course, not possible, since he always preorders when I do the castrecl pre-announcement. But he opens this dispute and says he hasn't received his item, which is - wait for it - CAMELOT, which, clearly stated on the Kritzerland site and in our announcements, doesn't ship officially until the second week of June. We'll probably have them by the end of next week, a month early. He also sent me an e-mail, so I responded in both places saying it was most unseemly to open a dispute when a) there has never been a problem before, b) before I even have a chance to respond to his e-mail, and c) when the item isn't supposed to ship for over a month. I told him that if he didn't remove the dispute immediately, I would cancel his order and he could purchase it and any other CDs that he might want in the future elsewhere.

Have a great time, Cilla!!
Borowitz made me laugh, DR Elmore.
Could it be false? Have I jumped the gun?
I'll remove my post, DR George, if you will remove yours. I can find no verification of this rumor I'm spreading. I still think she's gay.
Concert vibes for DR CILLA LIZ.....I have only seen Sir Elton once......when he a Billy Joel were doing a tour together.....it was quite the show!I saw that same tour. It was great. Hope you enjoy it, Cillaliz.
MR BK - the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates that you plan on following your career path until you shuffle off this mortal coil, and that helping others reach career goals, particularly in music, is high on your list of priorities.I'm sorry I forgot the name. But I'm glad the Dream-O-Matic came through with a most sage reading.

My dentist just called. I told her yesterday that I thought I had a cavity, and she confirmed it. I have to go in tomorrow morning at 8:30 and have a very old filling redone.

Did you click through the slide-show? There a are a couple from the front.
As to the Tony noms, the other shut out would have been Baby, It's You if this season had any other musical with a decent starring role in a musical (other than the three who were nominated) - Beth, who is wonderful, was assured that nomination no matter what.

Chef Michael Lomonaco was on "The View" yesterday, and hearing his story of that day again... He had stopped into the optometrist on the concourse level of the World Trade Center that morning to get his reading glasses adjusted when the first plane went into the tower... Meanwhile, his restaurant, Windows On the World, was filled with diners enjoying their breakfast and 79 staff members...
Windows on the World was one of my favorite spots in NYC.
