Der Brucer, before I met him (I believe when he was still a blond) played Mordred in a community production somewhere... Monterey?  As he explained it, it really is a song that needs to be performed, not sung.  And trust me, he's much better as a performer.

I don't know what DR Jose would make of his performance, however, as he says he lept from the stage onto the piano in the pit!  SCUFF MARKS!

Well, if I read ahead before posting I could have saved a lot of typing!

I had a bowl of Greek lemon chicken soup at our local diner. Perfect.

Hmm.... There's really nothing like a bowl of avgolemeno soup.  Soooo good.  *And I make a pretty good one too.  ;)

DR Jose, if you want to give Shuler Hensley a chuckle, mention The Big Chicken. It's the world famous landmark of Marietta, GA, his hometown:

Hmm.. I'll see if I can work that in during the meet and greet.

Yes, but I died it black for the part - and even let my fingernails grow: I had 3/4" talons by opening night! (The call buttons for the elevators in the University were electro-static - so I had to use a knuckle to page a ride.) I might also add that opening cigarette packs with long nails is a bitch!

Re Over and Over - when I was in NY rehearsing for The Last Starfighter, I went into the rehearsal room - it had just been used for casting sessions for Over and Over - and I got to have a nice chat with John K.  We will, of course, want full reports from Jose.

I shall report what I feel comfortable reporting, if you get my drift... And I think you do.

Again, it will be a little strange showing up for the first day of rehearsal, and then leaving for the rest of the week, so...  But I'm sure I'll have a report or two along the way.

Where's DR JRand and those dream analysis abilities when we need 'em?!  DR ELmo's gun dream, my MBarnum hotdog dream, and DR Sandra's blimp dream -- lots to look over and think about...

There is the obvious explanation - Bad Drugs all around!

Jose...if I may ask, as rehearsal accompanist, once the show is up and running, are you done with it or will you actually play in the band or have some other function in the production??

Well, I'm hoping to make it down to Chelsea in the morning to get my hair cut... And then I have to do this... and that... go here... And there... And then my day will wrap up with the 1,500th performance of Avenue Q.  -I haven't seen the show since the original cast left, so I'm looking forward to seeing the "replacements".

In any case... I need sleep.

Goodnight.

I'm strictly rehearsal pianist this time round - rehearsals and tech week.  Which I actually like.  I like the process, getting to see the show being put togther.  And then I actually get to SEE the show - which is something I've rarely ever had the opportunity to do.

I watched half of the movie, then took a nice, hot shower and then wrote another page-and-a-half - I somehow did five pages today.

Time for bed, what a weekend this has been! ( I have a math test tomarrow...I don't like test's on mondays, they set the wrong mood)

Wicked was good, I think that some of the cast members pushed the jokes a little too hard, and I dislike the sound system in the Pantages...Im sure on the orchestra level it is loud, but there was no sound coming into the balcony, so the show sounded dead even though it was quite good. My mother enjoyed it very much. which made it worth going to me.
I had been slightly spoiled by seeing the original cast in NY.

...but what about those rings?  Got a huge, gold crest ring to go along with those boxers?

Oh, I forgot about the rings...I don't wear any jewelry other then my Buddha chain, and that is around my neck. My fingers are ringless...unless someone proposes.

But we still don't know what that means, do we! I am intrigued still.

LETS GIVE BK SOMETHING TO FRET ABOUT:

Daylight Savings Time starts next weekend - three weeks earlier than before.

Computer Programs earlier than 2005 may not update their clock correctly.

Many digital devices like VCRs, TV's, etc. may not update correctly.

The world may end.
