Title: Re: STALE BREAD

Here's the blurb for the new release - it's really great.

Kritzerland is proud to present the latest release in the Ben Bagley series:

BALLET ON BROADWAY … AND MORE

Music by Jule Styne, Harold Arlen, Harry Warren, Cole Porter, Sigmund Romberg, Gene de Paul, Hoagy Carmichael, Vernon Duke
 
Lyrics by Ted Fetter, Lawrence and Lee, Harold Rome

Ballet Arrangements by Genevieve Pitot, Peter Matz, Trude Rittman
Ballet on Broadway conducted by Lehman Engel

Ballet on Broadway was rescued from oblivion by Ben Bagley.  It was a pet project of the great Lehman Engel.  Only a handful of copies got pressed, it was not released, and no one ever knew of its existence, other than Engel and the lucky few who managed to have a copy.  Bagley contacted Engel, who was thrilled it could finally see the light of the day, and finally musical theatre lovers got to hear it. 

Creating dance and ballet musical arrangements in musicals was and is a true art and this CD is the living proof.  Great dance and ballet music from High Button Shoes, Jamaica, Look Ma, I’m Dancin’, Shangri-La, Can-Can, The Girl in Pink Tights, and the amazing “Sadie Hawkins Day Ballet” from Li’l Abner.  These kinds of things never made the cast albums of the shows, so it’s simply wonderful to have them available and brilliantly conducted by Engel.

Ballet on Broadway was originally released by Bagley on LP.  He later released it on CD but it’s been out of print for decades.  As he was wont to do, Bagley filled out the running time of the CD was some wonderful and obscure material, mostly by the great Vernon Duke.  The Show is On was a 1937 musical revue with music mostly by Duke and lyrics by Ted Fetter.  Dilly was adapted by playwrights Jerome Lawrence and Robert Lee from the novel, Miss Dilly Says No.  They worked on it in the early 1950s but the musical never happened.  The songs, however, are delightful.  In 1943, Duke, with Harold Rome as his lyricist, wrote a musical called Nantucket, set in the 19th century.  They wrote nine songs for it, but it, like Dilly, never got off the ground.  One can never have enough Vernon Duke and these selections are all very interesting and filled with Duke’s wonderful melodies.

As with our other releases in our ongoing reissues of the Ben Bagley albums, we have spruced up the sound considerably and we, of course, feature the wonderful art of Harvey Schmidt. 

BALLET ON BROADWAY … AND MORE is limited to 500 copies only and priced at $19.98, plus shipping.   This is a PRE-ORDER – CDs will ship by the last week of May, but never fear, we’ve actually been averaging three to five weeks early in terms of shipping ahead of the official ship date.  To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.  Also note that your PayPal receipt is the only receipt you get – we don’t send out confirmations beyond that.

TOD: I think the late Peter Howard was the last of the great Broadway dance arrangers, so nearl;y any show with his work is tops in my book, especially Hello Dolly!'s "Dancing" and "Waiter's Galop." These days the dance arrangers seem to write for the most part rinky-dink mickey-mouse crap.

Trude Rittman, beautiful lady and the greatest of the greats:
CAROUSEL: Louise Ballet and the Hornpipe for "Blow High, Blow Low," in which she makes music from fragments of that song and "You're A Queer One, Julie Jordan"
THE KING AND I: The Small House of Uncle Thomas, which is maybe 10% Rodgers and 90% Rittman
FINIAN'S RAINBOW: the polonaise beginning "When the Idle Poor Become the Idle Rich"
PAINT YOUR WAGON: "Lonely Men" and "Another Autumn"
CAMELOT: "The Lusty Month of May" and Morgan le Fay's Court
Trude was responsible for giving Frederick Loewe and Kurt Weill the layouts for BRIGADOON and ONE TOUCH OF VENUS and they both have great dance music
MY FAIR LADY: Trude's big number was the Act One "Decorating Eliza" ballet cut after the New Haven opening; I'd love to hear it

GENEVIEVE PITOT
LI'L ABNER: Sadie Hawkins Ballet
CAN-CAN: Quadrille, surprisingly, her big Garden of Eden ballet isn't very good
KISS ME, KATE: all of it, so good, especially the Tarantella and Pavane
I just heard her work on HIGH BUTTON SHOES and iot's great fun but the rumor isd the big Mack Sennett ballet is by Styne himself

JOHN MORRIS
WILDCAT, the excerpts on the cast recording are fantastic
BYE BYE BIRDIE, I am disappointed in the Big Shriners' Ballet and has anyone heard "100 Ways To Kill A Man"?
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: the dances are the best part of a mediocre score missing all of Jane Austen's wit

LEONARD BERNSTEIN: ON THE TOWN
Title: Re: STALE BREAD
Post by: ChasSmith on April 15, 2019, 06:38:50 AM
Continuing with the TOD, I would like to "Like" the above post. :) DR Elmore has beat me to it in his usual grand style. I envy your knowledge, sir. But here's a short list:

LI'L ABNER:  Sadie Hawkins
THE MUSIC MAN:  Marian the Librarian
A CHORUS LINE:  Music and the Mirror
HELLO, DOLLY!:  Waiter's Galop (original, but the new version has also grown on me a bit)
WEST SIDE STORY:  All of it, impossible to choose.
ON THE TOWN:  Um, same.
THE KING AND I:  Small House of Uncle Thomas

The Shriners Ballet grew on me over a two-week run some years back, but I should probably revisit it.

Monday to Wednesday is ideal for having fun but perhaps not so good for working hard. You should be feeling happy, optimistic, generous and very sociable. Problems could arise if you need to attend to more serious matters in which a responsible or conservative attitude is needed. Avoid a tendency to overspend on luxury items, fashion, cosmetic, holidays and entertainment, anything that you can actually do without if money is tight.

Thursday to Sunday increased intuition and flashes of insight lead to self-discovery and revelations. You can be comfortable expressing the more unique or quirky side of your personality. You will feel like trying sometime new, outside of your normal routine. This could range from new adventures to new inventions. An excellent time to leave your comfort zone and widen your social circle with some extra ordinary people.

The reaction to the fire on Facebook is, for the most part, over-the-top and ridiculous - with several idiots blaming Islamic terrorists without a shred of proof - in fact, everything up to this point points to it having begun due to the construction that's being done and if you look at where the fire began you will see that is exactly the area.  They've apparently saved the artwork and artifacts and as of twelve minutes ago the Guardian reported (whether it's accurate I know not): Notre-Dame’s main structure has been “saved and preserved”, a Paris fire official has announced.

“We can consider that the two towers of the north belfry Notre-Dame have been saved,” he tells BFMTV. “The structure of Our Lady is saved as a whole.”

It began last night, and I have seen none of it.  I probably sound racist here - and I do not mean to = but I have a problem with non-traditional casting in historic works.  I'm pretty certain that in 1830 France Inspector Javert was not a black policeman.  This historic anomaly doesn't seem to bother the BBC, who cast a black actress as Nancy in their last version of Oliver Twist.  To me it's as wrong as casting a white or Asian  cast for Porgy and Bess or Audra McDonald to play Mary Todd Lincoln.

I don't think it is racist and I get it.  They did this in Ashland at the Shakespeare Festival.  It drove Keith crazy more than it bothered me.  Our problem wasn't so much the historical inaccuracy, but when families were impossibly mixed.  Plus it was difficult figuring out who was related to whom.  I still recall watching "The Three Sisters" and each sister was a different race, and I forget what the brother was.  ;D

Non-traditional casting doesn't bother me.  I figure if the story itself doesn't specifically address a character's ethnicity (like Show Boat, Miss Saigon, or Ragtime), it's not important to me what the ethnicity of the actor is, as long as they're a good actor.  I've seen a lot of shows with racially diverse casts and I guess I've just gotten used to it. 

Just my 2¢. :)

I've always stayed away from Schoenberg because, you know, everyone says it's noisy serialism.  I don't know at what point THAT kicked in, but I am listening to Verklarte Nacht, which is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life, but it's the later piece that it's coupled with that's really blowing me away - Pelleas and Melisande - it's stunning.  So what pieces was I being warned about because it sure ain't these.

I am not thrilled with the color scheme of the new Mary Poppins or with all of the CGI effects. Part of the charm of the original was how cheesy the non-animated effects were. And the character development is nowhere near as good. It's 45 minutes into the movie and the three kids are not well delineated.

But there are moments. (Not the score.)

There are two more really adorable reviews for the book - one from Peyton Kirkner, who's read all of the Adriana books and loved this one most of all, and her eleven-year-old brother.   So sweet.  I love how Peyton repeatedly calls me "Kimmel" throughout.  Here they are:

5.0 out of 5 starsA Great Book for All Ages.... and Magic Lovers!
April 13, 2019
Format: Hardcover
Both my kids read and loved this book. Now they can’t wait to go to the Magic Castle one day!

*P. Kirkner - 14 yrs old
I have three words to describe Kimmel’s “Murder at the Magic Castle” book. Captivating, Mysterious, and Incredible! Throughout the book I found myself marveling at Kimmel’s impeccable comedic lines, and his classic mysterious phrases that really give his books a unique sparkle. I have read every Adriana Hofstetter book that Kimmel has released, and I must say, this one has become my new favorite. You will find yourself laughing, gasping, and leaping out of your chair to solve a mystery after you read this book. I highly recommend “Murder at the Magic Castle” for readers of all ages!

*J. Kirkner - 11 yrs old
This book was absolutely captivating! This is the first Adriana Hofsetter book that I have read. My sister has read every Adriana Hofsetter book and got me into this one. I was excited to read this book because I am really into magic. After I read it, it was one of the most fascinating books I have ever read. It was really modern day with technology unlike most mystery books. It did not disappoint!

When do you close and what inspections need doing first?


I have no idea when we close, but the condo is being inspected at noon on Wednesday.

I only found out that I got the condo at 5:30 this evening, so I am still a little out of it.

Usually the buyer puts a closing date in with the offer.  You might have it on your copy.

I had pretty much decided that it wasn’t going to happen, and I was okay with that.

Inspections offer an opportunity to back out ;)

I don’t expect we will find very much wrong with this place, but maybe.
