The new Kritzerland release will be available for ordering on the site at six in the morning. If you want it before then, you know the deal - 19.98 plus 3.75 shipping (23.73) paid via paypal to kritzerland at adelphia dot net.
Kritzerland is pleased to present a new world premier limited edition soundtrack CD:
LADY IN A CAGE
Music Composed and Conducted by Paul Glass
In 1962, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? burst forth on movie screens all over the world. It was a “shocker” and one of the biggest shocks in it was seeing two aging Golden Age screen icons, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, let their hair down and dive into a genre film. Of course, because it was an unexpected smash hit, the floodgates opened and we soon got all manner of imitations, some good, some bad, and some in-between. One of the weirdest and the best came in 1964 when Paramount released Lady in a Cage, starring Academy Award-winner Olivia de Havilland, who’d already done one shocker previously the year before, Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte. But Lady in a Cage was something wholly other – as nasty as Baby Jane and Charlotte could be, Lady in a Cage was in a whole other universe.
Whoever’s decision it was to hire composer Paul Glass, it was a completely original and inspired choice. Glass’s score for Lady in a Cage is dissonant, creepy, jagged, and perfectly suited to the film. There are no real themes here – just music of unsettling atonality that keeps one on the edge of one’s seat and completely off-balance, much like the film’s heroine. In 1964 it was the polar opposite of most film scores being written but it was absolutely perfect for Lady in a Cage and, for its time, a fairly unique score. Glass went on to write a classic score for Otto Preminger’s Bunny Lake is Missing and also wrote several terrific scores for the TV series Night Gallery.
Since its release, Lady in a Cage has become something of a cult film. Even now, coming up on almost fifty years, it still manages to be thoroughly creepy and weird, yet somehow completely entertaining and fun.
This CD is mastered from the superb-sounding original three-track scoring session masters housed in the vault at Paramount. We are extremely pleased to present the first Paul Glass film score available on CD.
Lady in a Cage is limited to 1000 copies only. The price is $19.98, plus shipping.
CD will ship the second week of June – however, never fear, 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.

Off to Dallas today for Texas Frightmare Weekend.

Good morning, all! I slept well, and I remember rather vivdly my last dream, which involved a summer theatre production, a costume shop, a film books section of a huge library, a radio show, and being lost in LA while trying to buy 28 lbs of chocolate.
I am back to my taping this morning. I have two rolls of 3/4" artist tape in my bag, and I'll see how far I progress today. I may begin printing the masters of the orchestra parts for Rodgers & Hammerstein while I am at it. Hopefully, while I am at Toyland, the electrician will coem and check out an electrical glitch; the super's been jerking me around for the past two weeks about scheduling this. Hopefully, when I get back here, my last invoice payment will be waiting for me, or I will be a very unhappy person.
More coffee.

TOD: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......I was in a play before I ever saw a play......but I guess the first one I officially saw was a production of Agatha Christie's THE MOUSETRAP at the Indiana University Summer Theatre in Bloomington........
I was going through my programs as well and found a couple from Avondale Playhouse (in the Meadows Shopping Center), a kind of tent affair. Frances Farmer did a few shows there.
This program is for THE BEST MAN by Gore Vidal and featured Lyle Talbot, Hugh Marlowe and his wife K.T. Stevens......to be followed by Jan Sterling in THE MIRACLE WORKER!!!

TOD:
I can't say with any certainliness what was my first theatre-going experience. The first that I can recall with any vividness is going to see PURLIE on B'way--it was the first show that I remember sitting up and appreciating the singing, dancing and comedy.

New title is announced everywhere and I guess I'll go back to bed.

TOD: Well i didn't see many plays when i was a kid. But if you include musicals then I remember a few very clearly. I think the first one was CATS with my sister, my mom and my grandmother. That was very memorable for me because my grandmother took us and we went on the stage with all of the cats.
I also remember my parents taking me to see both PHANTOM of THE OPERA and LES MIS on tour. But the musical that made me love musicals was when Chita Rivera toured here in KISS OF THE SPIDERMAN. I was so impressed and mesmerized by her. Loved it. ANd after that i was hooked.

Good morning, all.

Off to Dallas today for Texas Frightmare Weekend.
Have a frighteningly good trip.

TOD: The first I can remember was a production of "Frankenstein" at Actors Theater of Louisville with a curtain raiser of someone reading/reciting "The Tell-Tale Heart." I remember the pounding of the heart as he told the tale.
I had been a big "Dark Shadows" fan by then, so it was a wonderful evening.
-
Vibes for all.
-
The first show I clearly remember going to was a production of SOUTH PACIFIC with Macdonald Carey at the Valley Music Hall north of SLC. The Valley Music Hall was touted as the most luxurious and advanced performance venue in the west when it opened. It's now a Mormon church (no joke).

Good heavens, BK is up!

Greetings from Toyland!
-
BK, those were great reviews! I think I passed one of your colleagues at the Label That Must Not Be Named on the subway steps this morning. There was a large crowd leaving the station as I was trying to get down the steps and someone said hello to me. I think it was he. I said hello amd kept fighting the crowd!

Most excellent new reviews!!!

DR JOHNG this is for you and the other fans of the original Dark Shadows. The cast photo from ARSENIC AND OLD LACE from the Curran Theater in San Francisco when Jonathan Frid played Jonathan Brewster. There are some other familiar faces in the cast as well. ;D

I had no idea until today that there was a '50s TV series with Ronald Howard as Sherlock Holmes. I came across a DVD with 5 episodes of the series which was filmed in France. I've never seen any episodes before but, for the time when they were made they're pretty good. I see that the complete series is available on the Mill Creek label.
When I bought the DVD the assistant said she was sorry but they had run out of popcorn. "Excuse me" said I "I hadn't asked for popcorn". She pointed to a poster behind her offering customers free popcorn with every DVD. Good job I don't like popcorn or I might have complained!!

You're welcome DR KERRY - I wish I could have seen it!!!

Thursday morning greetings! After my whirlwind April, I'm beginning to settle back into my at-home routine and get back to some projects that I'd left dangling. First thing on today's agenda (after my cardio walk and a shower) is a much-needed haircut.

TOD - my first memory of a non-musical was a community theatre production of something called THE MAN IN THE DOG SUIT, in which some co-worker of my father's had a part.
My first musicals are far more memorable. In Detroit, when I was 9 or so, we went to the old Riviera Theatre to see the touring company of THE MUSIC MAN starring Forrest Tucker and Joan Weldon. My second musical, also at the Riviera, was THE SOUND OF MUSIC, with Florence Henderson. The Riviera was replaced in the early '60s by the Fisher Theatre, where my grandmother and I saw BK's friend Karen Morrow as THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN in August, 1962.
My first Broadway experience was in the summer of 1967, between my junior and senior years in high school, when Mom and I saw the original cast of CABARET and met 4 of the 5 principals at the stage door afterwards. I have my souvenir program book autographed by Joel Grey, Lotte Lenya, Bert Convy, and Jack Gilford.

TOD:
Shows I saw in my "formative" years were all produced at the Greenville (SC) Little Theater. Occasionally, professionals would be hired to portray leading characters, but I cannot recall names. I do know there was one gent with white hair who was in one of these plays and I later saw him on TV and in films. The only name that comes to mind is "Murray" something.
Shows I saw include: "The Odd Couple", "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off", "Brigadoon" and "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." I also saw a production in the 1980s done by a different theater group in Greenville. It was a superb, locally cast "That Championship Season."
The Greenville Little Theater was under the leadership (during those years, long, long ago) of Robert Hemphill McClain, who was known for his keen eye and insistence on the very best quality in staging, scene design and costume design. He cast seasoned players and I never saw a show that had a single weak performer/performance.
Since living in the Bay Area, I've seen professional shows (not a slew, mind you). I saw the pre-Broadway "Wicked" with Chenoweth/Mendel/Morse twice...once at the start of the run and one at the end. I saw the pre-Broadway "La Boheme" (Baz Luhrmann). I saw the pre-Broadway "A Chorus Line" revival with Charlotte d'Amboise. Also in San Francisco, I have seen the wonderful road company of "Annie," the seasonal (and last SF performance, thus far) of "White Christmas", and the glorious "South Pacific" revival (with a disappointing Emile deBecque).

I am now paying the equivalent of $138 a month for broadband, phone line and satellite TV subscription. No wonder I can't afford Blu-rays :o

Gary Sandy...now there's a name I haven't stumbled across in a long, long time. Not since "WKRP in Cincinnati", actually.
I think he was the first celebrity I ever interviewed. He was in Lexington, Ky., for something after "WKRP" left the air and I got to sit down with him for a half-hour in a new restaurant bar or so and later for drinks in the same bar. He was friends of the owner from way back, as I recall.
If you have BK's "Best Little Whorehouse" with Ann-Margaret, he's on that.
-
TOD: My first professional show to have seen was a tour of "A Chorus Line" (from the last row). Of course, being young and knowing nothing about show biz, I didn't get it. But I enjoyed it. The second professional show was a tour of "The Sound of Music," when I took both of my kids because DR Sandra's best friend from preschool was Gretl (They hired local children). The next one was "Phantom of the Opera," and I've told that story before. DR Sandra and I saw that in LA when she was 7. After that, I bought season tickets to the tours here and to some local theaters.

You're getting off cheap. If you add our Comcast and DirecTV bills, they're well over $200/month.

Richard and I just gave in and turned on the air conditioning for the first time this year. Not so much because of the temperature, but the humidity. When the chairs won't slide smoothly on the kitchen floor and the covers of our paperback books begin to curl we know it's time!
-
Ours is on, too, Ginny. Until the end of October.
-
Yes DR DOUG R - my television & interweb are about $180 a month....and we have a different phone carrier for about $60 or so per month.
-
We are about ready for the AC as well since we had some 80+ degree temps yesterday.
-
TOD:
That's difficult. I remember the first play I was in which was the farce "Dry Rot." Plays in London which I saw were "The Mousetrap", "No Man's Land" with John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson, "Harvey" with James Stewart. Also remember seeing Tommy Steele in "She Stoops to Conquer" in 1960 at the Old Vic!
-
I almost saw that production of ARSENIC AND OLD LACE. When I was in school, one of the theatre classes took a trip up to NYC to see it. There were extra tickets and the instructor offered me one, so I went along. However, a few of us decided it would be more fun to bop around Rockerfeller Center instead of going to the play.
I don't think Jonathan Frid did the show on B'way.

Speaking of Jonathan Frid, is anyone planning on forking over $400 for the Dark Shadows: The Complete Original Series (http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Shadows-Complete-Original-Edition/dp/B007PZ6SYK/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1336063934&sr=1-1) set?

I've been to the Dr this morning to get my thumb checked out. I have a case of "trigger finger" and have some exercises to do and some drugs to take to get this taken care of. At least there is no brace to deal with and my keyboard career is not affected. Today, my #2 schnauzer DD Manny, turns 3. He's the one with the chip on his shoulder and doesn't get along with DD Ben (new to the clan, as you might know, or not) But nevertheless, he's 3 and we love him, like all of our boys. Someday, they will all get along, I'm sure. Tonight, it's back to Annie
-
Thumbs up vibes for Matthew. (I couldn't resist that one.)

DR DtM - he was a replacement for Abe Vigoda in the Broadway revival when Marion Ross took over for Polly Holliday and Larry Storch also took over for William Hickey.

Also remember seeing Tommy Steele in "She Stoops to Conquer" in 1960 at the Old Vic!
One of my favorite theater stories is when Sir Ralph Richardson was appearing in a play that he didn't like very much. One night he stopped in mid performance and clutched his chest and asked: "Is there a doctor in the house?
A voice from the audience replied: "I'm a doctor."
Richardson then said: "Doctor, isn't this play awful?"

I love this quote from Roger Ebert's review of "The Avengers" movie:
"Comic-Con nerds will have multiple orgasms," predicts critic David Edelstein in New York magazine, confirming something I had vaguely suspected about them. If he is correct, it's time for desperately needed movies to re-educate nerds in the joys of sex.
-
I don't think I will go to the theatre to see that movie.
-
Nothing more annoying than a belated good morning, and that's exactly what this is.
"Lady in a Cage"?? Ordered! Will always remember first seeing it in Fort Lauderdale at the tender age of something or other. I'd been completely blown away by "Baby Jane" and those that followed. "Hush Hush", "Strait-Jacket", etc. Loved 'em all. Still do. Never saw "Cage" again till finding the DVD a few years ago, and seeing how good the film was after all those years was just another great thrill.
-
First play or musical: Yikes. I know my first two musicals on film were "South Pacific" (at a drive-in!) and "Porgy and Bess" -- not sure which was first. But that wasn't the question, now, was it? How ANNOYING of me.
Okay, first musical on stage was a summer stock or a touring company doing "Kismet" in Columbus, Ohio. I have the program...somewhere. Kenley Players, maybe? The answer is waiting in some drawer. If that wasn't the first, then it's a community production of "South Pacific in Fort Lauderdale in the cavernous War Memorial Auditorium. This will be late 1960 or early 1961.
For Broadway, it was Ginger Rogers in "Hello, Dolly", then I saw Channing do it on tour at the Dade County Auditorium in Miami.
First non-musical play, though?? -- Annoyingly, I HAVE NO IDEA! :-[ Have to think about this.

I am convinced that creativity is DEAD in the theatrical world. Or is just not supported. Do we really need ANOTHER remake of something?? (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/165593-Spider-Man-Book-Writer-Roberto-Aguirre-Sacasa-in-Talks-to-Pen-Little-Shop-of-Horrors-Remake)

What a wacky day so far. I went back to bed at six-thirty, fell asleep at around seven-fifteen, was awakened at nine-twenty by the telephone, then again at ten, then I fell asleep again and was finally awakened by the door bell at eleven-thirty. Since then I've been printing out orders, had a burger and no fries for lunch, picked up the errant and truant overseas package and am now trying to catch up before rehearsal begins at three-thirty.

Well, mine's an easy fix: "Fork over the quoted six grand, please."
House is 18 years old, the original central a/c unit has been on its last legs for at least the past three years, and I know it doesn't have another season left in it. I'm going to have to swallow it and pick up that phone within the next couple of weeks.

DR ChasSmith, we've been expecting something like that for a long time. Our house is 50+ years old and the furnace is original. I think the central AC was added later.

Topic of the Day:
I can't remember my first play-going experience. It was probably when we lived in Germany when my dad was in the army (we lived there when I was between the ages of 4 and 7) and he was involved with some local community theater. He did several plays that I think I went to see, but I have no memory of them.
We moved to Washington when I was 10 years old and the earliest professional show that I can specifically remember seeing was a national tour of The Pirates of Penzance, based on the Broadway production with Rex Smith at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle. Peter Noone (of Herman's Hermits fame) starred as Frederick and James Belushi was the Pirate King. At the time, he was still only known as John Belushi's younger brother. :)

Nice to see you here, TCB!

TOD:I also remember seeing Rumplestiltskin (sp?) when I was about 9 or 10.
-
I hate to do it (no, really I do! ;)), but I'm leaving work. I'm actually going to take tomorrow off from work, just to use up some time (I'm at the limit). I'll probably just watch some TV and that's probably about it. I don't know what might happen on Saturday (my actual birthday...probably go to a couple of Mexican restaurants), but the family and some friends are getting together at my sister's house on Sunday to celebrate my birthday.
Anyway, until later!
-
Enjoy your long birthday weekend.

Nice reviews, BK!

Wish I could be in NY for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes next week.
-
Sherlock doesn't like the vacuum cleaner so I swept all the floor & a couple of area rugs. It took a long time as we have lots of floors & the broom kept plugging up with his fur.
Because Sherlock had a little nose bleed last night I washed all of the bedding, 2 loads worth, & then figured I would do the rest of our laundry.
-
Two more posts to surpass this week's low.
-
Make that one more--this one!
-
In between doing laundry we took Sherlock for a nice walk on the ditch trail along a portion of the irrigation canal. On the way home Keith made a couple of quick stops while I waited in the car with Sherlock. When we got home he seemed hesitant to maneuver jumping out of the car. Later he seemed fine. It makes us glad we are sleeping on the floor with him. He seems to like not having to jump or take stairs to get into bed.
-
The cast of Nice Work If You Can Get It is on Letterman tonight. I'll be setting my DVR.
-
I should have mopped the floor but I didn't. I hope what I did was enough so my allergies are better tonight.

It was a cold damp 55 degrees this morning. We don't walk fast enough anymore for me to warm up so I really bundled up. Still, I was surprised I never took any of my layers off.

Hi DR Vin Tek. How are you?

I also saw a ton of stuff at Seattle Rep growing up. Richard Chamberlain in Richard III, a production of The Miser (or was it A Flea in Her Ear?), all great productions.

My friend Becky and I are going to a seminar tomorrow morning at the Dayton Art Institute and I have a doctor's appointment immediately afterwards. Don't know when I'll check in tomorrow, so I'll wish everyone a happy Friday.

my first Broadway musical was 1776 - 1969 --1970? I went with the local library - just a kid and a bunch of old ladies

Janes, your family is in my thoughtes and prayers as well

Hi DR Vin Tek. How are you?
Hallo, Jane. I am good. Thank you for asking. Went to lunch today with someone I had not seen in many years. Coincidentally, it's the same person BK had dinner with last night. Thanks to BK (via his book signing), she and I reconnected. It was good to see her. I am now bitter. I have aged 12 years since I last saw her and she is unchanged.

I believe my first bus and truck and/or National Touring Company was also 1776. I was enthralled. My father fell asleep.

I often get all those years mixed up, too. And at times I feel as old as if 1969 were 1776.

Me, too.

Bruce I received a message this morning on Facebook from someone I don't know. She had sad news to share about a mutual friend. She noticed you & I are friends & asked how I know you with. How do you know Jacqueline Derin Shea?
Doesn't sound familiar?

Waves of peace coming your way.

Night, all.

Wacky day, but an okay one. We had a nice rehearsal - I just really like Daisy Eagan - always have. She got here thirty minutes early and we had a wonderful chat. She's doing 44 Sunsets, which she did on B'way Bound and she sounds EXACTLY the same. So touching. The rest of the rehearsal was fun - still some big rough spots due to a couple of performers having not only very complex long material, but sooooo wordy.

Don't remember my first theater going experience. I was taken to see high school productions as a little kid all the time and to the Boji Bantam, Stephens college's kids theater with their summer stock theater at Okoboji. My family is very musical and into theater, so it was just always a part of my life.

Maybe if he has Audrey II meet/eat the Brady Bunch down on Skid Row. Otherwise, what's the point?
Maybe Audrey II eats Spiderman

My first Broadway was actually pre-Broadway. Annie in Washington DC. Roslyn Carter was there that night as first lady.
-
We're getting close to catching up. Finished a major project today, that really helped
-
At work that is.

I'm all alone.
-
Actually, I'm about to sign off.

S.T.A.G.E and Victor Herbert arrived today. Good music day!!
Annie was interesting at best. A metal bucket fell into the pit during "Hard Knock Life", and I was reminded again why doing shows with kids is always risky... not only do you have parents to deal with, but voice teachers/coaches also. Not sure how I felt about the conversation I had with Annie's voice TEACHERS (there are 2) - both seemed way to analytical to be teaching 12 year olds to sing. But they trust my work with their student... so they say.
