Page Thirteen Dance:

I learned the truth on page thirteen
That tunes were meant for theater queens
And orchestras with lots of strings
On page thirteen I learned the truth

I wonder if Grease producer David Ian is related to "At 17" songstress Janis Ian.

The wig is okay, but the earrings are too much!

LOL! My DH wears earrings like that!

I was thinking she's held up pretty well when I saw that photo.

And I love her in THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH.

The albums that we played and played
Instead of trying to get laid
Got scratches from repeated use
On page 13 I learned the truth

We played Company and Follies too
And if by chance you were a Jew
Played Fiddler at your Grandma's house
Pretending Perchik was your spouse
For theater queens like me
On page 13

And I also had a Mini MoonPie earlier (nuked for about 10 seconds). That was quite good too.

-They were giving them away at the conference in Atlanta as a promo item for next year's host city, Chattanooga. They boxes(!) of them. So I took about a dozen home for me and m roommates. -They also had Choo-Choo Train Piggy Banks, Choo-Choo Train key chains, and Chattanooga Cell-Phone Covers!

How did I miss all that swag? (You can keep the moonpies, though. Did any of them end up "in eclipse?)

Cillaliz-Glad the performance was fun.
When I saw Phantom the Christine was an understudy, and talented, but she must have been at least 40! Took some of the charm out of the role.

I'm kind of bummed, because I planned to work on The Brain.

I edited for 15 hours, which I shall now think of as doing a Jose, after witnessing his relentless piano work!

I think JRand's analysis of the above parody would suggest that "page 13" is really "age 13" and that a number of my friends had crushes on Bert Convy in those days.

Something that goes on with understudies in NYC is that an actor will have a 7-perf. week in his or her contract, and could choose which one he or she was going to miss almost at random. That way, the result is that audiences won't be avoiding a specific performance every week, and will be surprised when they get to the theater. And many people of course choose to stay rather than demand a refund since they're already there. (At least at some shows, like Jersey Boys, they've simply made it clear that John Lloyd Young doesn't do Wed and Sat matinees - which seems like a more fair approach to the audience.)

I guess what gets me is for a lot of shows, we only have one performance. So when time after time you get understudies, you really feel a bit ripped off and like they don't consider us a serious audience or something even though here in the boonies people will drive over 100 miles, take off work, get a hotel room etc just to see a touring show. When a show is here for a week like Mama Mia, Les Miserables etc That's different. You expect that there will be perforamances with understudies.

TOD: When i was a very mall girl My first musical was OKLAHOMA!, and it is still my favorite musical today. My grandma introduced me to it and we would sing the songs all day, and i would watch it repeatedly at her house. One day I was lookoing though cabinets (one of my favorite childhood pastimes) and found that she had the record version of it. (yes, records were in use!).

I STOLE it! My grandmother said I could have it when she ound out later that day.

My father got so annoyed with the record after the 100th time I played it he drove me back and made me give it back.

I cannot get used to the time change and I think that those who decreed it should happen in March should be strung up by their thumbs.

It was not decreed! We, the people, acting through our duly elected representatives in congress, enacted the implementing legislation. If you have a beef, talk to your Congressman!

Last Saturday, I happened to pick up four bound volumes of Films In Review, a magazine I used to have a complete collection of. I probably still have some in storage (I have no idea WHAT I have in storage anymore). The bound volumes were for years 1954 and 1955, 1963 and 1965. I've been going through them and it is fascinating to read contemporary reviews of films we now think of as classics and also to read some rave reviews from film that we generally think of as dogs. The film music columns are most interesting, and would infuriate people reading them today.

But, most interesting of all was one particular fellow who reviewed several films in the 1954 issues. I was actually shocked when I saw the byline. I will reveal who it is in the notes - I will only say that the person has gone on to incredible acclaim.

Quote from: Charles Pogue on March 12, 2007, 11:16:13 AM

Well, I guess we did okay.

The review in The Lexington Herald- Leader thought the "TARTUFFE performances stellar"...

About me specifically:

"And Charles Edward Pogue as the Tartuffe-enamored Orgon is nothing short of brilliant.

"Perhaps his intimate relationship with the text helps him on this front, for in addition to acting in the production,Pogue penned the adaptation of this Moliere classic.

"Pogue's language sparkles with color and is ripe with crisp cleverness, making versatile leaps from theological discourse to the basest of juicy double entendre. The ensemble cast proves more than up to the task of its delivery."

"...a fantastic cast and a first-rate adaptation..."

Congrats!!!!

You were not imagining it. Stinker was a substitute for bastard (bassa) the times being what they were.

Was the Hayes office still running things back then?

In 1951 (seven years before SP) the Hayes code was made even stricter, particulary in regards to language.! It was dropped in 1967.

We the voters have nothing to say about anything, frankly. They do what they want and people go along like shropshire sheep. Anyone who voted for this (and I doubt anyone KNEW they were voting for something this stupid) should be strung up by their thumbs.
