So... Would any DR like a "Sweeney Todd" movie poster?

If it's not too late, I'd love to have the ST poster!

BK, I'm curious as to the title of the Lobo/Buarque you have. Both Cambaio and Album de Teatro show either collaborative efforts, or solo, at least in terms of the writing. There's nothing with music by Edu and words by Chico. I'm wondering if there's something new out or I have something filed somewhere else that I'm not remembering.

As written in the notes, the CD is entitled O Grande Circo Mistico.

I've mentioned this before, but Chico is Brasilian musical royalty--he wrote the tune "A Banda," which Herb Alpert fans will remember fondly, he is the brother of Miucha and thus the the Uncle of Bebel Gilberto and brother-in-law of Joao.

Herb who?

If I can get it in the mail tomorrow morning with the other packages I'm sending out... Otherwise, I probably won't be able to send it to you until after the New Year. But consider it yours, DR George.

Sometimes, when we are in widescreen, it is kind of fun to read the post and see if you can figure out who posted it. Mr. Barnum never disappoints.

Just heard from our EQUITY guy and it's a no go to use EQUITY actors in The Brain at the Chance Theater. The reasons are beyond idiotic and I will be going into this in the notes but plenty. Basically, the Chance is fifteen miles over the LA County line, which is where Waiver theater stops. No matter that Waiver theater is in the Valley, Pasadena, and many other places. So, instead of working with the Chance on this one-off entry for the LA Festival of New Musicals, they preclude actors from working where they'd like to, on a show they'd like to work on, and getting paid $400 to do so (more than NYMF). Which leads me to the conclusion I'd reached long ago about EQUITY - they don't really care about their membership and they just take the hard line whenever they can. The best plan they could put the Chance on is $250 or thereabouts a week. This is a forty-nine seat theater, so one can easily see the folly of that plan.

One of the best things about birthdays here, are MBarnum's birthday cards. The Raggedy Ann & Andy one is adorable.

I never had one of the dolls. Who here did?

Did or does?

Good Afternoon!

Well, after having a slight panic/anxiety attack when it was announced that all downtown trains were running express, but seeing that an A express train was pulling into the station... Then sat there for a few minutes... Then when it got to the next station, it sat there for another couple of minutes... Thankfully, that was the last of the sitting. I made it down here with a couple minutes to spare. And, lo and behold, it looks like everyone read the part of the casting notice where it stated that "All roles are precast", so we had a relatively short morning - about 70 women, if that - and we were done by 11:30.

Lunch!

If all the roles were precast, what were the 70 women doing there?

Yes, I watched while they burned

I did not scream, but I was not a happy camper. Even as a little kid (I was probably 5 or 6 years old) it seemed to me to be rather unnecessary and mean. It wasn't like I even played with them anymore, but I did still enjoy having them.

After that I did keep my favorite toys hidden.

I bet you kept them hidden. You were so young, it is hard to imaging you were considered too old for dolls, maybe by a father but not a mother.

...And those dolls were made in India by former bodybuilders... As they burned, the spirits of those bodybuilders were carried into the air by the smoke. Unbeknownst to little Mikey Barnum, as he breathed in some of that smoke, it would plant a seed in him that would begin to germinate many, many years later...

MB, I think we had cloned mothers--my mother once took everything I had stashed under my bed for "safekeeping," hauled it across the street to an empty lot we owned, and set fire to it, ostensibly to teach me a lesson about being "neat." Instead it taught me a lesson about matricidal rage.

Oh my! My mother often raged, thankfully she never set fire to anything. She did chop off all my hair once during one of her rages. To this day I have issues getting my hair cut short.

And then there were the THREE days of REQUIRED Equity Principal Auditions last week.... You'll have to ask Equity. -And it was Equity who required that the "precast" notice be put in the audition listing.

*However, there were no swings last summer at City Center, and for the upcoming Broadway production, they will need to cast four swings (two men, two women), so there are some slots open. Just no "roles" open at this time.

I am listening to my Brian D'Arcy James Christmas CD and pondering whether to make reservations at The Sportsman's Lodge in Studio City

Unfortunately, neither place gets very good reviews.

If you stay at the Sportsman's Lodge see if you can get a room in the back, off of the garden. It is away from the pool & quieter, plus having a bit of grass and flowers is nice when surrounded by the city.

It has been 10 years since we stayed there so I have no idea what it is like these days.
