One hopes that the performance and talk back will not be as noisy as this little incident in Cambridge, MA

Could any description of Paris Hiltm be more offensive than the reality?

Dakota-I’m impressed your father is working. I’m sure that is good for him to feel productive.

DerBrucer, Craig’s wallet with his license was stolen in Romania, making it impossible for him to replace. Now too much time has passed.

Considering the blender pitcher's history, a Bloody Mary made with good Tequila would seem appropriate.

OPERA ALERT:

Many local PBS television stations will be broadcasting Eugene Onegin from the Met this coming Thursday night.

It looks like all those operas that the Met has been simalcasting to movie theatres are also being shown on PBS. I haven't been to any of the movie house showings, but I've been hearing nothing but raves about them.

I thought I was too good for exploitation films;

All those tapes in the VCR have "redeeming social value" I presume

BTW: How tight are the seats at Westport Playhouse?

Are you asking about the staff or the furniture?

Thanks for the info. Since I'm not nearly as in the know about the facts as you are, it may not bother me much, but it has made me curious to step up my knowledge of Henry VIII. And, I guess, that's one of the great things about a well produced TV biography. It makes one hunger for more information.

I didn't want to write anything more since I didn't want to spoil the episode for you! I wish Disney would release THE SWORD AND THE ROSE aka WHEN KNIGHTHOOD WAS IN FLOWER with Richard Todd as Charles Brandon and Glynis Johns as Mary Tudor on DVD.

I loved the episode last night. It was quite gripping and I'm happy the series has been renewed. A couple of years ago, while I was working on a musical about King John and the Magna Carta, I began Alison Weir's books on Elizabeth I, and I read her books on the children of Henry VIII, and the six wives while I was working on a concert, and scoring cut numbers from the show, of Richard Rodgers' REX. Last night's episode of THE TUDORS had the perfect cue for Henry to sing "Away from You."

I'm now reading her book on the Princes In The Tower and leafing through her book on Henry VIII and his court. The bio of Elizabeth was truly wonderful and quite moving at the end. I recommend all of them.

Back from my doctor's appointment, which was just to go over the numbers from my most recent blood work.

He told me I'm perfect.

Just had to share

Nice job. Now you can be "Super-size the Fries, Please" Ginny

The "Snap, George! It just went snap!" was the first acting scene I ever did anywhere. I was talked into it by this girl in a Junior year acting class in high school. I had no idea what I was doing and I was sort of blown away by the girl, who seemed to know exactly what she was doing. It wasn't until a year later that I discovered that our school had a copy of the cast recording in our library and that she had learned off of it, inflection for inflection. Grrrrrrrrr...

If it's any comfort, I believe the 12(?) year-old who won last year's AMERICA'S GOT TALENT sang everything inflection by inflection that she'd learned off the recordings.

I, too, wish Disney would issue this film on DVD. To my knowledge, it has never been available in any home video format. I remember seeing this DECADES AGO...and loving it. I cannot imagine what could be holding it up.

I had the same impression. BIG VOICE, though.

Sadly, IMO, she released a single of "You Light Up My Life"....which I hope NEVER TO HEAR AGAIN IN MY LIFETIME.
