Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Wilde, and now it is time for you to post until the Wilde cows come home.

When I wrote the notes, we were at eighteen hundred posts and 6000 plus views. Now it's over 2000 posts and 7000 views. Amazing.

BK, I know it's not Wednesday (Ask BK Day), but I have a question. The David Shire "At the Movies" CD will be a limited edition. Will it be a numbered, limited edition?

Just curious.

TOTD: productions of Sweeney Todd, Chess and a supposed "reading" of "Pacific Overtures" were the best non-professional shows I have seen. The "Sweeney Todd" was the first production in this country and replicated the Broadway/London staging etc - though scaled down a little. DP and I had seen the London proudction the year before. "Chess" was way better than the professional production and actually made sense! (The best production as DR George will attest, is the Swedish one from a few years back).

Pacific Overtures was wonderful and very moving. It was not an Asian cast but nevertheless worked very well with minimal sets and certainly "off book" with the cast who had worked so hard.

A gay Motorcycle club from San Diego put on an all male production of Dames at Sea (real singing, not lip-sync) which was more enjoyable than a lot of stuff I saw at Long Beach Civic Light Opera.

I love this DVD...now, if they could just re-release it with English subtitles!

Tonight's viewing may be "An Inconvenient Truth" and "The Saviour" (which was nominated for an award in the Short film section).

"G:TOTYW" has Frankie Avalon singing "Beauty School Dropout" to all of the Sandy hopefuls. All of the girls' wigs are the same color as their outfits!

Good Morning!

As for the Topic of the Day... I used to go to a bunch of the community theatre productions in Arlington and Alexandria, Virginia, while I was in high school. Some of those groups did some truly amazing and wonderful work.

At TAP (The Arlington Players) - Sweeney Todd (I also subbed in the pit for this one too), Follies, and a truly exceptional production of Children of a Lesser God.

And then at LTA (Little Theatre of Alexandria) - Joseph... and Oklahoma.

No paisley, plaid, or batik?

Oh.. A couple of minutes ago, I went ahead and boiled four cups of water, then stirred in a cup of Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal. Then all I have to do in the morning - or whenever I get up - is heat and eat. -And I'll have enough oatmeal for four days. Very convenient.

George, the CD will be limited to 1200 copies only and will be so stated on the inlay card. It will not, however, be hand-numbered - those days are over.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2007, 01:11:58 AM »

that is good oatmeal. I do that also Jose.

It looks like you all had quite an exciting evening here after I left to trap feral cats that live in a shed next to the church property.

I had an adventure, too.

Ben · « **Reply #22 on:** February 26, 2007, 05:00:31 AM »

I started here since there are over 2000 posts. It will take quite a while to catch up. I shall begin now.

HMS Pinafore by one of three (I think at that time) Gilbert and Sullivan groups in Montreal. I had previously see the professional company Doyle Carte Opera from London do The Mikado. I thought that it was just as good. Sets, Costumes and voices were all up to par of The Mikado production.

Good morning, Michael and Ben. Is it morning? I have not been to sleep yet.

Ben · « **Reply #26 on:** February 26, 2007, 05:28:55 AM »

Good Morning to all.

I read up to Page 29. I will begin again on Page 30 when I take a break from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

That is all.

I didn't actually watch the show, just saw bits and pieces. How on earth did chad get into the bottom 4?

I get kathleen and i even get kate. ANd i totally get kevin. But how did derek stay safe while chad was in danger. I am really confused by that.

I'm actually really looking forward to seeing the acting segments. Kathleen must be one really good actress!

Jennifer · « **Reply #29 on:** February 26, 2007, 05:54:12 AM »
