DR SINGDAW - there is NO play or musical that cannot be ruined by a wrongheaded director and/or choreographer.  Usually said play or musical stars or features a relative or "friend" of said director or choreographer.

I have seen such productions of MY FAIR LADY, GREASE (granted not so hot to begin with), STEEL MAGNOLIAS, BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS, and so many others.

And I have been onstage in a few as well.

I am wearing a brown suede shirt that suddenly looks green here at work.

But that's okay because the brown pants I am wearing look green as well.

Ya know, I used to believe that GYPSY was the one show that was director proof.  But I guess I was wrong.  Dead wrong.

DR JRand56, I am sure you are right.

I do that all the time, too.  The perils of dressing in the dark.

Or perhaps you've acquired one of those fancy dancy color-shifting garments?

I think I would like to add my own "touch" to the YouTube "Rose's Turn"--a huge shadow of a woman projected on the upstage wall (a la Charlemagne in PIPPIN) to give Rose the impetus to start stuttering "Ma-ma-mama!  Ma-ma-ma-ma-mama!"

Either that, or a woman who flies across the stage like Fruma Sarah to achieve the same effect.

I have not yet developed a taste for Coffee, Tea or liquor, and I am not sure I would ever like too. Artificial uppers do not appeal to me,and I do not like the taste. I think people ( like my friends) who need to have their grande coffee with a double expresso shot or iced chocolate mocha on a beautiful sunny afternoon for 3.50 a drink need to seriously re-evaluate their lives. But thats just me...

3.50 a day for 5 years is $6,387.50....and that does not include all the other drinks consumed by the avarage college student.

I think this idea is STUNNING, and it tops the lightning effect that Miss Mazeppa had when she played her trumpet....although the lighted lariat for Miss Electra certainly comes close.

Just search the name of a musical and YOUTUBE and you can usually find several atrocities....or at least crimes worthy of punishment.

Good morning!

We're going to have a somewhat cooler day today than yesterday, and then the rain moves in tonight for a day or two. Oh, well, these spring temperatures are really nice. I'm sitting in my office right now with the window open right next to me, and the fresh air is wonderful.

Just read in USA TODAY that TCM will be showing three Betty Hutton films in honor of her this afternoon: THE STORK CLUB (which I've never seen), THE PERILS OF PAULINE (a public domain film now; I hope the TCM version looks decent so I can burn a DVD-R of it), and THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH (ugh!)

I'm not much of an alcohol drinker either, but if I have it as a social drink, I prefer something sweet: Tom Collins, margarita, hurricane, daiquari.

If I go to a dinner and wine is served, I can usually drink a glass of it, but that's it.

I much prefer diet sodas, preferably Pepsi One if it can be found. That's what I'm drinking right now.
