I am currently watching a rather dull Disney movie called FOLLOW THE BOYS (1966). It is all I can do to stay awake.

I have made the cornbread for the dressing, the cranberry sauce, and a pumpkin pie. I wanted to get a head start for tomorrow.

I've had the week off, so I've been sleeping as much as possible.
And my aunt has been in town the past couple days, so when I wasn't  sleeping I was either visiting with her or helping my mother get ready for Thanksgiving.

BTW... I'm thankful I found this merry madhouse.

I just wanted to let you all know that this dump is closed on Thanksgiving, but you can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant. (Excepting Alice.)

Though I think I'd prefer some sort of cranberry wine or liqueur.

No. If I did, DR Sandra wouldn't eat it. And she's the one who likes cranberry sauce.

Another ask BK:

I have a paypal account, but I am having trouble linking up from your site to paypal. Also can I order multiple copies and get reduced postage rate?

Or

Can I pick them up when I am in LA to see the show?

There should be no problem with paypal, at least on our end.  I believe there's one shipping rate that covers up to five CDs - maybe six bucks or something.  You can pick them up whilst in LA if that's easier.

I have another ask BK question.

I was listening to your King and I recording tonight and was wondering  why you elected not to record The Small House of Uncle Thomas. (I think you explained it once, but I forgot.)

Also were the other numbers like: The Royal Bangkok Academy, Priest Chant/Children Sing, A Puzzlement (Reprise with Louis & Chulalonglork) and Western People Funny omitted from the recording because they were dropped from this production?

Thanks

Adding Small House would have taken us over the time limit where pressing plants guarantee pressings, which was common back then - today we'd probably chance it, but it also had to do with trying to get the entire album done in one day.  And we were recording a particular production, so yes, that's why those numbers weren't included.

One more:

Is contracted to have the cast and production credits on the back cover instead of the song listings?

We've done it both ways - has nothing to do with contracts - it's just what we did for that cast album.

Back from a two run-through day and dinner, and must now relax for five minutes and then write the notes.

Tonight's rehearsal of Cannibal:  The Musical went quite well. :) We were told that a reviewer from a local paper was going to be there to watch, but it turns out that she got very, very sick and couldn't be there!  Yea!  We were told that she got permission from her boss to see our show on our final (and open) dress rehearsal on October November 30th and that she could turn in the review first thing in the morning of December 1st.  Whew.

Anyway, we wore as many costume pieces as we could...my Indian costume still needs tweaking, but it'll be fabulous! ;) And my quick change might not be as quick as I thought it was going to be, but then we weren't doing any makeup. ::) That'll make it more difficult, but we'll see.  Otherwise, we got through it and I remembered all of my lines! ;D

MEDIUM had a fabulous episode tonight, as Allison (like Taye Diggs in his show) relived the same day with different (often horrifying) changes from day to day.

But I love how it all fell together. A great payoff for the viewer at the end.

BTW, I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't Patricia Arquette's Emmy submission episode, especially that jaw dropping monologue she delivers to Ariel about changing her attitude. What an eye-opener!

AARRGGHH!!  I forgot to record this. >:( FORTUNATELY, my niece tapes this so I can watch her tape...but I couldn't watch it when I got home from rehearsal, when I really wanted to.  ::)

Yes, I understand completely, but with a little tweak - and I'm talking changing a couple lines,  the story would have held up and that's what bugs me.  

You should write the show and tell them to hire you as their legal advisor!  You could make big bucks...probably. ::)

;D

I mean, theoretically, someone could do a musical with the overall premise of GROUNDHOG DAY without getting the rights to GROUNDHOG DAY, as long as they invented their own procession of events, if these shows can do it on TV - or am i missing something?

Maybe the idea of one day (or time period) repeating over and over is too general a concept to have to attribute it to "Groundhog Day."  And I'm pretty sure that "Groundhog Day" was either a book, novella or a short story first, so who knows how far back the idea really goes. :-\

I also remember reading several years ago that Stephen Sondheim bought the stage musical rights to the property.  I wonder if he'll ever get to it??  I'd love to see/hear what he'd do.
