I wonder if someone who REALLY couldn't sing could do the show SOUVENIR.

Why am I thinking the movie "MAME"?

DR JHVW and I are off to breakfast.  The roads north of here are snowy and he isn't used to driving in snow so he's going to wait a few hours to let them get cleaned off and I'm going to take most of the morning off. Gotta run,

Does any DR have any impression of this DVD of Camelot:


Is this the version where he gets strung up by the nipples while singing "What Do the Simple Folk Do"?

In the production that bk directed, he gets strung up by his thumbs.

Good morning, all!  It's quite gray out.  Have the rains come?

I had a lot of mail and packages to sort through yesterday, including two shipments of garage sale CDs, a duplicate (!) shipment from Amazon, two eBay wins postmarked Feb 22 and Feb 15 that suddenly showed up; my post office is pathetic.  I also took care of my taxes and got all my payments into the post.

This morning, I've a jaunt to Toyland - my first in several days - and then off to the NYPL to work on the Toyland notes again before the scrapbooks crumble forever.

Yes, DR JoseS, you were out of bed before me.  I'm assuming you have to head home now before you go to rehearsal.

DRsingdaw, I saw that CAMELOT production when it first opened at Lincoln Center with a very tired and half-paralyzed Richard Burton and Christine Ebersole, neither of whom were very good.  Burton looked like Richard III doing a musical. Harris replaced Burton during the tour and the wonderful Meg Bussert replaced Ebersole.  She can only be an improvement.

A bientot!

And in the Royale version, Daniel Craig gets strung up by his you-knows.

Good Morning!

I am quite enjoying Das Barbecü, which I picked up from bk's garage sale on the recommendation of DerBrucer. That JK Simmons has quite a voice!

ARRESTS UP IN ATLANTA AIRPORT RESTROOMS

ATLANTA —  At the world's busiest airport, plainclothes officers patrolling public restrooms in search of luggage thieves have instead uncovered a rash of other, more sordid crimes.

The new restroom dragnet has led to the arrests of more than 30 people in three months for indecent exposure and public sex acts at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
…
Among those arrested is Ed Wall, the board chairman of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority. An officer said he saw Wall having oral sex with another man. Wall, who has temporarily stepped down from his post, has maintained his innocence. A court date has not been set.
...

When asked about the incident, Mr. Wall replied:

"I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."

American Airlines seeks more female fliers
CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) -- American Airlines, the world's largest airline, says it can boost revenue by $94 million a year by tailoring some of its services to the growing number of women travelers.
The airline, a unit of AMR Corp., this week unveiled a version of its Web site for women (http://www.aa.com/women ). The site aims to increase the number of women booking flights on American by 2 percent or more, said an AMR executive on Tuesday.

The site, as well as changes to American's planes and travel clubs, is the latest effort by a U.S. airline to distinguish itself in a competitive industry that has spent the last five years slashing costs and tweaking services.

"We obviously have a vast interest in women," said Peggy Sterling, AMR vice president of safety, security and environmental. "There is an untapped resource."

I'm sure the ladies will enjoy getting tapped!

And, yes, they do have other "special interest" sites,

Good morning!

It's beautiful here this morning, but it SHOULD be after the hurricane we had here last night. Rained as hard as I've heard it in many years. But today, everything seems clean and sparkling. It's going to be in the 70s later, too, so that should be nice as well.

I really loved Richard Harris in the movie version of CAMELOT, but he's ham through and through in this stage version (I have it on videotape). And he's got so much eye make-up on that it will make you laugh. None of the other actors impressed me very much, but at least they can sing. Isn't it Richard Muenz as Lancelot in this? I haven't watched it in so long that I've forgotten.

A uqestion to the very knowledgeable stage fanatics at HHW:

Why didn't they make a cast recording of the musical version of GONE WITH THE WIND during its one year London run? With June Ritchie and Harve Presnell in the leads, it would have been glorious to listen to.

And I wonder why some producer doesn't do a studio recording of this Harold Rome score. Most reference books say the score is very good. I've never listened to the original Japanese cast recording (SCARLETT), but an English language recording would surely spark some interest among theater buffs.

The CBS and NBC slates tonight at ALL NEW!

UGLY BETTY and GREY'S ANATOMY are clip shows, and I haven't made up my mind about watching them since I've seen every episode (and in the case of GREY'S, multiple times).

Sorry, DR Ron Pulliam, SMALLVILLE is a repeat, and SUPERNATURAL isn't even on.

I can't stop laughing over the alternate track of I Want to Eat Your Face.  I mean, it's a funny song anyway, and I can't wait to see it in the context of the film.

But bk's vocal for the alternate take is so funny!     :D
