Well, I need to go to bed now.  I need to go to work early because there's a problem with the report that I need to run when I pay the bills.  The problem is that for some reason, I can't access the report. :o The IT people know about it, but hopefully they'll have fixed it by the time I get to work...hopefully.

Have a good day, all!

Bruce and all the young people did a phenomenal job tonight and the material was so much more sophisticated than what you would ever expect in a young person's cabaret.   For us, the magical part of Kritzerland shows is discovering little known gems of songs!

Great pictures of the cast!
   Thank you George, it's fun capturing actors' and singers' expressiveness :)

Favorite performance?

THE MUSIC MAN   (What else?)

I also saw Preston on stage with Mary Marin in I DO!  I DO!

And, I also met him in person.  My late publicity client, Dan O'Herlihy, co-starred with Preston in THE LAST STARFIGHTER, and, one day, I accompanied Dan to the studio.

Preston was a nice, friendly man.  I surprised him when I mentioned, WE TAKE THE TOWN, a musical that closed before it came to New York.  He played Pancho Villa.

Robert Preston:

Harold Hill, first and foremost, always and forever. But so much else, too. For me, he's one of those who personifies the best in musical theater.

Never got to see him in person. First sight of him was in the film version of The Music Man. We were at the lovely Florida Theater in downtown Fort Lauderdale on its opening night there, and that's one of a handful of glorious early-1960s movies for which I will never forget the theater and the packed audience and the "occasion" of it all. Everything about the movie and the material blew me away, and I lived and breathed little else (until West Side Story just months later).

I love it all, but special recognition goes to I Do! I Do!. (Nice reminiscence there, DR Druxy.) And thanks to a certain Indiegogo, I now possess a treasured RP inscription on the souvenir program (along with that of a certain co-star, making it doubly wonderful).

Miss Annie Rooney was a pretty funny movie - though no great shakes. The 1942 lingo of the teens was frantic....the best part was Roland Dupree as Shirley Temple's boyfriend Joey.  He played the drums and danced a great jitterbug with Peggy Moran.

Dickie Moore - who played Shirley's NEW boyfriend - wrote in his autobiography that he couldn't dance, so for the scene at his birthday party where he was supposed to jitterbug with Shirley, they put a Dickie Moore mask on Dupree and did the scene in long shots.  It was almost scary watching Shirley dance with this apparition....

Dupree had some kind of lisp or maybe it was because he grew up speaking French and English was his second language - but it was funny to hear him talk.

The Blake Edwards films are incredible in and of themselves, but Preston is a real treasure in those.

I've wanted to see The Dark at the Top of the Stairs for years, and it's just never available. I believe it's never been released to home video. Certainly not in DVD or BD, never checked earlier formats.

And there is this:
You know the drill. The more crazy things get, the more flexible you have to become -- otherwise you'll snap. And no one wants that. Your seeming nonchalance pays off as soon as Tuesday. It's like you were born to juggle, you make it look so easy. Wednesday is a good time to start a new project and Thursday is right for making a big purchase with a partner. Friday, a bout of indecisiveness sets you back a bit, but over the weekend you'll take stock of your goals and by Sunday have a clearer plan.

I got to work at about 10:00 and the report still hasn't been fixed. :-\ I had to manually create the report, but I got it done.  Fortunately, it's the middle of the month where there aren't as many invoices to pay, so it didn't take that long.  I don't know when the IT people can fix it.  I'm done for now, but will need it again at the end of the month.

I would highly recommend THE DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS.  On my local Channel Six - they had two movies a day....Morning Theatre and Frances Farmer Presents.

The movies that were too long or too racy to show on those programs were shown on Saturday night at 11:30 on The Best of Hollywood (in color).....that's where I first saw DARK.....

Probably the first time I saw Robert Preston.....Dorothy McGuire, Angela Lansbury, Lee Kinsolving, Shirley Knight, and especially Eve Arden were very memorable.....

Thanks, TCB! I, too, would like to see the film. But, more importantly, I'm pleased to learn about the Vermont Movie Store--in Woodland Hills, no less. Long ago, when Netflix was still young, some people would complain that it didn't carry enough new releases. I didn't care about the new releases--I wanted the old films. They had lots of them then, but these days when I do a search they don't appear. I'll check out the Vermont Movie Store. I take it these are purchases, not rentals, so I'll look for another streaming site for older films.

What a funky day, but only because I can barely keep my eyes open.

I printed out 100 pages (more than last week), Xeroxed them, and delivered them to Muse Margaret, who will call at some point.  Then I came home, started writing liner notes, and got a call from Sami and her mom to come meet them for lunch, which I did.  That was fun, then I picked up one package that contained a potential new Kritzerland project that we'll probably do, then came home again.  I went back to the liner notes and I was literally almost dozing off as I was writing them.  But I got the bulk of it done, and will shortly go back to the book and I'll try to write at least five pages before relaxing.

Depressing lot of stories today. The novel i just finished and the movie both had suicides in them.

Maybe take a break and listen to Dear Evan Hansen?

Oh wait, did you say you'd prefer something without a suicide?  This is tough.

I hope we are suffering from allergies and will feel back to our normal crappy selves during this trip. Since yesterday I have coughed my throat raw, not stopped dripping and alternate between stuffed or blowing.  I am am concerned about flying with my already stuffed ears  ::)

Feel-better vibes to Jane!

Can you take cough drops on a plane these days? Maybe only once you're been through security.

Thanks Jeanne. We have Ricola and it isn’t a problem with security

I watched the first 90 minutes of Love in a Cold Climate, which had a few good laughs in them. It's an old Masterpiece Theater series with a fairly young Judi Dench in the lead, but she's not really the star. It's more about some girls coming of age during the flapper period.

Now I'm watching a fairly uplifting documentary about Itzhak Perlman. In addition to the brilliant music, there are some wonderful stories about him, about his music, his teachers, his struggle to succeed despite his polio when no one really wanted to hire a disabled violinist.

One rather harrowing story was of his going to a music store in Israel and he's shown a violin that had been owned by a Jew but a Nazi had scratched a swastika inside of it. The scene ends with the salesman and Perlman agreeing the instrument should not be strung for the next 1,000 years.

I've been fortunate enough to have seen Perlman live on several occasions. One performance in Atlanta featured him conducting favorite pieces. In Saratoga, i saw him perform with the Philadelphia Orchestra. In San Antonio, he performed solo. Each different, each wonderful.

The movie also raises that most existential of questions: How can a pickle not be kosher?

I haven't done enough pages today, but as I was writing away I literally could not keep my eyes open, so I went and sat on the couch for a minute, intending to just see what was on Netflix but before I could even turn on the TV I was out - for an hour.

The show is damn near perfect, but wow, Evan Hansen polo shirts

http://www.playbill.com/article/official-dear-evan-hansen-polo-shirt-now-available-at-the-playbill-store

made me sure I was seeing something in a very macabre version of the Onion. Dress for death?  Because everyone wants to BE Evan Hansen.  I wondered, and wonder still, whether the marketers even saw the show.

The Muse Margaret call came around five - she loved the 100 new pages - one typo note and that was it.  The stuff I was slightly worried about is the stuff she loved most.  So, I mushed on, but I was so tired.  But in the end I did nine pages, and that's with doing a set of liner notes, too - but I'll write the notes now and maybe do another page or two before bed.  I have a nine-thirty meeting that I wish I didn't have because I'll have to be up by eight-thirty and out the door before nine, as I don't know how long it will take to get there.
