Yes DR TCB tonight is my opening night - and I thought the nonsense and antics would stop BUT our director has given us a 6 p.m. call for an 8 p.m. curtain........
Thanks to MR BK for answering the question yesterday....interesting....a Bruce Kimmel type....
Well, it’s back to The (Horrible) Wizard of Oz for me this evening, and for the weekend.
I went through the score last night, following along while listening to the music and effects track of the movie. It’s nice how faithfully they preserved much of the film’s incidental music, some of which is quite complex and challenging, and it’s equally amazing how they departed so radically from the relatively easy stuff like the scoring of a song like “Over the Rainbow”. One wonders what the decision making process was when this was getting adapted for the stage.

Is this the version with Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice additions?
Well, I just posted something about an animal rescue group that's started a fight.
I thought he said it was the Royal Shakespeare Company version, which is from around 1995, I think. Tams=Witmark handles it. Larry Wilcox was the orchestrator.

Do you happen to know who penned the manuscript PC score?
It's exceedingly complex, and it's incredible to think that human hands could have accomplished such a thing of beauty at that level of detail.
Right, DR Elmore, it's the RSC:
THE WIZARD OF OZ
By L. Frank Baum
With Music and Lyrics
by Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg
Dance and Vocal Arrangements by Peter Howard
Orchestration by Larry Wilcox

I've never seen the PC score, but I'd guess it's Dale Kugel's hand. I have the full score in Finale, so I guess I assumed the PC was also in Finale.
The two people I'm mentioned with are the stage manager's brother who is working on the stage crew and the DePauw intern who is running the light board.....
I remembered why I didn't go on the Bruce Kimmel type commercial - it wasn't a hiatus - I'd done a commercial for a competing product and so they couldn't use me.
I have made the sign for the Special Thanks that the director forgot to put in the program so I can put it in the lobby.....and I have a nice bouquet of flowers to set on top of the case that has our Doris Day display.....
So soon I shall be on my way.....well in a couple of hours.

Why would someone be so specific for several people he just met, and then lump others together like he just needed to make sure that their names were mentioned. :P
Here are quick down-and-dirty grabs of three pages.
Sorry about the gray-ish background, my scanner is doing that.
Click to enlarge a bit.
Here are the Director's Notes from someone I have known for 30 years and cast in many roles and did some of his work on this production including set dressing and background, preshow, stage music, etc.....anyway.....I am taking last names off because it doesn't need to be searchable....
All these people, plus Jack Randall Earles, Chris ****, and Grant **** make up the team of people whom I’ve called my actors for the past 2 1/2 months and I’m even more proud to call them all my friends.

Cameron ***** is one of my good friends and I have had nothing but great thing to say about him. His heart is as big as he is, and he works super hard on anything he sets out to do.
Dimitri ****, being a new member of the playhouse, has been a pleasure to work with as well. It has been an honor working with someone of the transgender community so brave and honest about themselves, and you can tell how hard they work by the characters that they bring to the stage.
Eleanor ***** has been my friend for several years and has a wisdom about her that I have frequently relied on. I can’t wait to see her take on more roles at the playhouse.
Darvell **** is a reminder to me. He reminds me, from time to time, that life isn’t always so serious. That I need to step back and just chill. Thanks, Darv!
Sam ***** also a new member, is going to go places. He has several degrees and a doctorate, and he is a loving family man. He brings a lightness to this show, to remind me what I was like when I first started out at the playhouse.
Bryan ***** and Ashlee ****, two people who have been my good friends for a long time, along with Sarah ******, we have been through thick and thin together. Thanks, guys!
Scott ***** is my hero. He has never been in a bad role in his life, because he takes even the smallest roles and turns them into giants.
Samantha ****** is my savior. She came in the audition process about half-way through and had her lines memorized, almost on day one. Her dedication to her craft and her art speaks volumes and I can’t wait to see her in the future.
Noah **** what can I say! He’s young, an upstart, and inexperienced, but he’s learned so much over the past decade and he’s going to make a great director one day.
All these people, plus Jack Randall Earles, Chris ****, and Grant **** make up the team of people whom I’ve called my actors for the past 2 1/2 months and I’m even more proud to call them all my friends.

Good afternoon.
TOD: I do not get in fights on Facebook. I do not get in fights at all. Well, except for that one time a few months ago.

I got an extra freelance article to write today. I have to name my top 10 Asian restaurants in San Antonio. It's not easy. I have a couple of favorites, but I'll have to visit a couple more.

Odd question: if you did your top 4 or 5 first, but then used the old "here are 15 all co-existing on the second rung, and I can't choose just 5 or 6) - might that make it easier somehow and give you responsibility only for the top rung?

Anyway, the fusion has apparently worn out.

Oh, no! What does this mean for you? :-\

Well, I will do everything possible to avoid having another surgery.
hi, my brothers. just woke from an unintended nap. Tom, I'm sorry you're having neck problems. Did something trigger it or did it come on gradually?

It started happening a couple of months ago, but it is getting worse all the time.
Good grief! Tonight Jimmy Kimmel had the director of THE LION KING as his guest. Talk about overkill. Next week he is having one of the ushers as his guest.
What! No timon and pumbaa
I fly into Vegas and my friends will pick me up there. That way friend John and I can get a little gambling in before heading to Utah.
