That's when he recorded his Nep-tunes.

I am speechless....

I have just written the word: CURTAIN.

Eighty-five very full pages (the nature of writing in Final Draft). I'm sure I'll be adding another page or two of additions, although who knows. I like the ending very much.

And some people on this here site will be very happy to know that there is an extended little tribute to Valley Of The Dolls and especially Miss Patty Duke, with one line in particular quoted several times - it is, in fact, the final line of the play (should I be happy with what I just wrote). That is because the leading male character's name is Peter Neely - but he hates his first name, and his close friends call him Neely. I'll let you all figure out the quoted line.

I come here because I like the people. And it's (usually) a clean site.

I agree with you Laura and they all have sparkling personalities....

Gadzooks! It took me awhile to catch up after last night's Hainanigans. That's right, a new word: Hainanigans! That's HHW shenanigans for those seeking clarity.

20 pages! Excellent!

Rodz, it all started when a giant mosquito came and buzzed in our ears... He was a mischievous sort.... His buzzword was Frenzy!!

Can we still post on this board while the chat is on?

FJL · « **Reply #156 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:20:50 PM »

That way I could get to 2000 DURING the party, whcih might be almost as good as before the party.

FJL · « **Reply #157 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:21:17 PM »

Terrible spelling, I of course meant "partay."

bk · « **Reply #158 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:21:57 PM »

The whole idea is to post while the chat is going on - we HATE when posts stop because we're doing a live chat. Forty-two minutes from now.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #159 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:22:30 PM »

I think he referred to posting and chatting.... I could be wrong..

Need to get a couple of things cleared off the desk before chat time..

I do have say that since I have joined I have rather enjoyed chatting with you all and learning more about theatre. It has been fun.

Frankie Howerd also had a very funny half-hour show called UP POMPEII which was a burlesque farce set in ancient Pompeii, very much echoing FORUM and its Roman comedy antecedents in style. He, of course, played the wily slave. I've got them in Video format...don't know if they ever came out on DVD.

I vaguely remember watching this when I was younger. I'm pretty sure I liked it.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #164 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:26:30 PM »

Oh I take my first choice back....

I think the quoted line would have to be....wait for it....wait for it...

Sparkle, Neely, sparkle!!!

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #165 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:26:35 PM »

and some appropriate confetti for the festivities!

FJL · « **Reply #166 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:26:48 PM »

There are isolated cries of racism over on another chat board because of the Drama desk nominators completely shutting out COLOR PURPLE. I don't want to get into the fray over there, lest I be decried as a suck-up to some of the nominators, but they also completely shut out [title of show] after all. I'm not sure I agree that disliking a show is a reason to shut out all of its elements, but racism is a tag that just doesn't seem to belong in this situation, in particular when you look at the history of these nominators as a group.

FJL · « **Reply #167 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:30:14 PM »

If you shut out all the elements because the overall piece isn't worthy of awards, would "Last dance" from THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY have its Oscar, after all?

FJL · « **Reply #168 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:31:11 PM »

I've decided. I'm replacing my verbal tic of "sort of" and "kind of" to "after all."

Glad you are liking the music from Mrs Henderson Jack.. Will Young is what entertainment is all about! A worthy winner of a format copied throughout the world with such commercial crass. He is a delight.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #170 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:31:57 PM »

Good grief - on May 16 coming out on DVD are (among other things)

I Love Lucy - the sixth (and final half hour) season
The Big Valley season one
Here Come the Brides season one
The Doris Day Show season three
Doris Day TV Special....

Dakota - I'm from Brooklyn - first ten years in Flatbush, then moved to Luna Park. Moved to Manhattan in 1986.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #172 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:32:56 PM »

I don't know (what show) you mean DR FJL...I am from Indiana, you know.

FJL · « **Reply #173 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:35:12 PM »

JRand - There's a show whihc is actually called "[title of show]" - it's about a team of writers' experiences creating a show especially to submit for a festival.

bk · « **Reply #174 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:36:13 PM »

Your second guess is, of course, correct, jrand. I can't tell you what a treat it was to quote that line - I think it's used three times and, as I said, at this point it's the play's final line.

Chat in thirty minutes. For those on AOL, it may work just fine, but if there are any probs, just use IE or Safari.

I have the big valley here - I may watch an episode later tonight.

FJL · « **Reply #176 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:37:21 PM »

Hmmm. I was on post #1985 just I was writing about moving to Manhattan in 1986.

I wonder if the "Shine Deena shine" line from DREAMGIRLS is a veiled reference to "Sparkle, Neely, sparkle."

FJL · « **Reply #178 on:** April 27, 2006, 03:41:51 PM »

Ah, Here Come the Brides! Now I'll have Bobby Sherman's "Julie, Julie Julie, Do You Love Me?" running through my head all through the chat.
