Boo-yah!

Page Seven "Begin the Beguine" Dance. Since that's what Glenn Miller is playing.

Okay, since this is a slow-news day, I will post another photo from the friend who admitted to sending me the baseball photo (He also has no idea who the playeres are).

Before anyone becomes upset, this is a optically retouched photo - No children were injured in the taking of this photo!

I didn't mind Cliff's songs being cut in the Sam Mendes/Rob Marshall revisal.  I think it helped to set apart Cliff as more of an observer - which is what I think Mssrs. Mendes and Marshall had in mind.

Well, yes, he is an observer and a narrator, but he interacts with all of them too, and "Why Should I wake Up" is too beautiful a song to lose.

Speaking of THE FULL MONTY, and I was; our small-town newspaper posted their review of the local production of the show with a very unexpected photo (at least, for them).


I am no prude, and I loved the picture, but I certainly could see this kind of picture causing hundreds of complaints if it were published in a paper around here.

I spent this afternoon (in between phone calls and other household chores) watching the new Ultimate Edition of LIVE AND LET DIE.

Of the Roger Moore Bonds, it's one of the better ones, and now it looks and sounds great. The picture, as with all of the new editions, has been scrubbed of all dirt, hair, and damage. The DTS sound is not omni-present in the surrounds, but when it kicks in, it has real power and makes the film seem almost new. Glad to have this in the new version.

TOnight I'll watch SUPERNATURAL and then maybe another Bond - GOLDENEYE. It has gotten quite a bit of criticism because of bad framing, so I'm anxious to see what they've done to it. I think the old edition looks and sounds smashing, so this one is going to be interesting to compare to the original issue.

I am heading downstairs now to take care of the sheets and towels in the dryer, and then will be going back to TV for the evening.

I wish LOVEMUSIK had tried out somewhere before going right to Broadway.  Ultimately it is closer in technique to BOY FROM OZ than JERSEY BOYS in its telling of its story and shoehorning of songs into the life story, but shoehorn them in it sure does, at times to jarring effect.  But if it is factual, what an education LOVEMUSIK is into important lives in the musical theater, and a relatively painless- mostly fast-moving - education at that.  And Michael Cerveris and Donna Murphy give performances that totally make you forget the actors and purely become their respective visions of the characters.

I have finished proofing (boy, in the last few pages did I find some corkers - obvious missing apostrophes, letters missing from words -  how those got by me the first time through I have no idea).

The good news is, I'm very happy with this book

Miss Karen, when does Cason open in CABARET?  Can we expect another HHW gathering for opening night?

Well, I'll field this question, if you don't mind Mammy!

The show will run for three weekends - it'll show on Friday and Saturday nights (and if we can fill the houses, we'll do Sunday matinees) for the last weekend in June and the first two weeks in July.

June 29
June 30
(July 1?)

July 6
July 7
(July 8?)

July 13
July 14
(July 15?)

We had our first read-through last night and promptly started blocking "Willkommen" and I have to say, I've never been more excited to do a show after just the first rehearsal.  The cast is going to be really good and strong and the dancing is a blast already.  

The show itself is going to take some moments from both the original and the revival.  They are still organizing ideas and deciding which songs will be included and which will be cut.  It'll be a work in progress here for a little while, but we'll have our first go next week -- they want us to perform the opening number for a fundraiser the theater is holding on Friday.  So, we'll have a pick-up on Tuesday, finish blocking, and then we'll give it what we've got for our first "audience."  

I'll of course keep you all posted - with, yes, lots of pictures - and hopefully another HHW gathering could be organized!  :D

Speaking of Mr. Kander, listening to some of the songs from Cabaret last night, I was once again just amazed at how brilliant the show really is.  Chill after chill just sitting there listening, much less when I actually get to be up on stage performing them...  :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Well, it's a beautiful day - so I'm going to go out for a run.  Thank you all for the congratulations on the part!

DR Danise -- my heart goes out to you and your family from here on out in what you are all going through.  Much love and support.

More vibes for DR Danise and her mother. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was very upset after reading about this today.  DR Danise i hope that you let your co-worker go with you.  I must have missed the details about Pittsburgh, but i get the gist of it.

DR Danise we are all here for you.  And i'm sure if many of us lived closer that you would have many offers to accompany you (i know i would surely go).

Please take care. And post here when you can.

For those in the New York area, it looks like PBS will be running Peter Eotvos's operatic adaptation of Angels in America on Sunday night at 10:00 PM.

Not in Western Washington. :-\

I'd like to see this.  I'll have to keep looking in the listings.

Bloog and I are back from the grocery store. I have successfully replenished my supply of pudding and am now eating cereal right out of the box, the way the good Lord intended it. I also purchased some fake vomit, but don't anybody tell my mom. I want to see what kind of mischief the Bloog and I can come up with.

As for the Topic of the Day, I don't give two and a half figs for Sonic, but I LOVE the commercials with those two guys in the car.

And one time, my cousin and I were watching TV somewhere in Kansas, and both our jaws dropped when we saw a commercial advertising that McDonald's was selling Fruit-Rollups. We're both vegetarian, so we weren't about to go to McDonald's, but we were speechless, which is saying a lot if you know me and my cousin.
