Well - I am off now to watch the end of The Devil Wears Prada, which I started last night.

Then, I will head to Town Hall to help with getting things set up for the show toight - A Night at the Operetta, which will feature a performance by Milla and about a dozen other wonderful singers.

And then I will work on trying to resize a photo to use as my avatar - which I hope will amuse youse - especially DR elmore!

Later, all! Have a good one.

How long before :"The Devil Wears Prada" or "Ugly Betty" are musicalised?
(Same show to me, and 90 minutes was enough)

I think the LEGALLY BLONDE groupies should be called Elle's Angels. I tried to get this started on another board, and I'll try it here as well.

I'm with DR Ginny re applauding the Orchestra after the playout music.

Not to be a hick from Iowa or anything, but when you are visiting and not used to anything near the level of a Broadway show, a standing ovation seems warranted even if it may not seem so to someone who regularly goes to the theater.

I am not stingy with standing ovations and I don't apologize for that. It is rare that I go to a show I do not thoroughly enjoy and I want to show my appreciation. So, there you go. I have been known to be one of only a few standing and it hasn't bothered me a bit

Sherlock passed his test today & will be moving up a level, once the next level exists. So far, two qualified dogs are not enough for a class. The other dog is taking a break until the next class opens up. Sherlock & I will continue in the current class. Practice makes perfect, and while he passed, he is far from perfect.

DRJose, when puppies are born their eyes are a dark blue. When the one eye turned brown, the other eye was still a beautiful dark blue. Gradually with time, it has lightened considerably (we wish not as much as it has). The outer rim is a darker blue & the rest varies in shades of light blue to almost white, depending on the light.

Oh, but I would never give a standing ovation for a song in the middle of a show....at least I can't imagine doing that. And there are many touring shows I do not give standing ovations to because they aren't that good....some of them I left at intermission and wasn't even there for the ovation

Just a reminder about another new episode of THE CLOSER coming up tonight at 9 p.m. on TNT. As usual, I can't wait!

I would be very suspicious of the broadcast times. Last week they said it was a to be an extended episode and would last 1 hour and 10 minutes - in fact, it lasted over 60 seconds more! (A fact I noticed when I played my DVR of the following Heartland and saw the last 60 seconds of the Closer - and a key minute it was!)

Tonight they have programmed a re-run of last weeks episode and have only scheduled it for one hour! So, unless they are going to show it virtually commercial free, it will run over, the new Closer will start late, and it will run over and people who are not set to record Heartland could well miss 11 minutes of the new Closer!

Thanks for the heads up, Der B. I don't know how they intend to handle that, because the show will eventually go into syndication and will need to be shortened. We have no idea what they would cut out! I may watch it again just out of curiosity...

JOse, I just realized you said eyes, not eye. Once the brown eye turned brown, it has been the same shade of dark brown all along.

I know! Sometimes I wish I lived somewhere where you could see something like this on your morning walk. But, even though we will be living a few blocks from Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta, we have a surpsiring amount of wildlife---owls, coyotes, snakes and of course, lots of feral cats!

I'm currently multi-tasking... I'm reading and posting here on HHW, and I'm functioning as Emily's pillow as she "continues" to fall asleep.

I will never giving a standing ovation for a song during a show. That is ridiculous.

Generally, I agree...but...

The Long Beach Civic Light Opera presented a special one day only AIDS benefit memorial concert performance of COMPANY on January 23, 1993. The event was dedicated to the memory of Michael Bennett, Larry Kert, and Fritz Holt. The show was hosted by Angela Lansbury, narrated by George Hearn and starring most all the original cast.

Elaine Stritch did get a standing ovation at the conclusion of The Ladies who Lunch - naturally Sondheim, Furth and Prince got a rousing ovation at their surprise appearance at the end.

Yes, DR Elmore, and one of the suggestions I found there is to ask your friends in NYC to keep their eyes open for notices on the bulletin boards in their home and office buildings!

Just think, it could be an HHW slumber party!

And I hope the birds ignore the tomatoes and green peppers (struggling along in their pots)

Well, I may be getting a new client thanks to the number of posts I had to read to catch up. My 5:00 PM appointment didn't show up until 5:30. Normally I don't wait that long, but I was here reading posts, so I'm still here and we had the appointment....all 8 of us, lol. Don't know if I can do anything to help them, I may know after a couple calls tomorrow, but there is a possibility that I have another new client

Tomorrow I have an interview with a woman who is desperately looking for a job. She was an interpreter for the hospitals in Chicago, but her family moved to Sioux City and that job is contracted to one company here so she is iced out of it. I don't think she has any secretarial skills, so it may be a non-starter, but she is bi-lingual, so maybe I could keep her as a receptionist as the business expands :-)

Finally, a review of XANADU that pretty much mirrors my thoughts on the turkey in the latest NEW YORK magazine. I've been feeling very much in the minority on this show - still do - but it was nice to have a critic in my corner.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #294 on:** July 16, 2007, 04:57:08 PM »

Who'd have thought I would be smiling as I listened to track one from a CD by a singer I had never heard before - or more surpsingly, actually enjoying "A Cockeyed Optimist". (I didn't even like Mary Martin's version - but that's no surprise!).

Of course when someone starts their programme with a "Kismet" song - I'm more than likely going to be in a very receptive mood.

The ravishing has begun. It's wonderful to hear a smile in a singer's voice. Singing a funny song is one thing. Smiling a song is special.

DR FJL. Please pass on my congratulations to your friend Milla.

Thanks BK.

Back from rehearsal and greeted with a problematic and potentially catastrophic e-mail regarding the fundraiser. I'd met with the president of the college, he agreed to fund it, found a simple way of doing so (through some fund with a ton of money), and guaranteed it would happen quickly. I've been all over him to get this done and the money into my account - to that end, I actually had invoiced them this morning (the person who he put me in touch with) - but he hasn't answered an e-mail from me in days, and when I arrived home I had an e-mail from the head of the theater department, forwarding me this guy's resignation letter - he's out of there as of 6/30. I'm not sure if that's a mistake that should read 7/31 or what, but it's put everything I've done in jeopardy. If I have to go out and try to find this funding a different way I'm doubtful it can happen and therefore my first act as president of this organization will be a catastrophe. I'll speak to the woman to whom I sent the invoice first thing in the morning, but who knows what will be. I will also press the head of the Foundation to help me if we need help, because I don't want this to fall apart. The Foundation is already helping the Brain in a small way, but the event is not cheap in terms of its budget. I'm really petrified now, and so all excellent vibes and xylophones would be greatly appreciated.
