DR JoseSPiano - that's awful.  I know you were coughing a lot the other evening.  That's ALL you need, with tonight's performance approaching.

May Duane provide the antidote to all your symptoms!

Thanks.  I think I'm going to head out now.  And once I'm back, I'm hoping I can squeeze in a few hours of sleep.  I don't have to head to train station until 4:00 this afternoon, so there's plenty of time for naps, cat and otherwise.

By the way, DR JoseSPiano, when you were on the 7th floor of the theatre for Lestat, were you with any other musicians?  Or were you up there all by yourself?

I would think that would be very wierd, being so unconnected to the show.

I was up there with the associate conductor/keyboard II player, and the percussionist.  It was a bit weird being disconnected at times, but we didn't have to dress up, and we had our own bathroom.  But all of us would gather in the musician's locker/dressing room before the show and at intermission.

DR Ben - Thanks for your report on Coram Boy.  I know someone that auditioned for, but did not get, a part in the chorus.  How did the chorus sound?  Did they mostly use excerpts from Messiah, or did they canvass a broader range of Handel's oeuvre?

Wasn't DR Jose chained to a keyboard in a room by himself?

Thanks Jose for your answer last night night re: The Curtain

I did see the director etc answer and thought it a possibility, but no one concretely answered if it was a union/cost cutting reason which you did answer. Thank you.

Re: The Helen Hayes Awards

You would think with all the awards that they were divide the Outstanding Supporting Performer, Non-Resident Production into male and female instead of combining it as other categories divide them by the sexes.

Re: Helen Hayes Awards II

How many people remember that The Charles MacArthur Award for Outstanding New Play or Musical is named after Helen Hayes' husband?

Good morning, all!  I'm still writing my retort to the BIG FAT CONDUCTOR OF ENORMOUS EGO & LITTLE TALENT for his agitation a week ago.  

So, today's one more day in the hurly-burly: Toyland first, NYPL later, a trek to the post office.  To add to my woes, I have to write an editorial guidelines tome this week as well.

TOD:  I don't dance.  Don't ask me.

Re: Helen Hayes Awards III

Some people received muliutple nominations within the same category like Irina Tsikurishvili who received three separate nominations for choreography. She won one. I wonder if she thought what was wrong with the other two shows that the she was nominated for that she only won for one?

And why don't they just combine multiple nominations into one and award (or don't award) for the body of work that year?

I danced in the 70s. I do not indulge in that past time any longer. If it was the 1940s and there was real dancing I might change my opinion but jiggering around the dance floor to "house music" which sounds like the same 2 notes sampled and repeated endlessly is not my idea of dancing.

DR Singdaw, it was mostly excerpts from Messiah although Handel is a character in the second act and I think there was probably more of his music than I recognized. The end of the show features the Halleluia Chorus and it is a very nice moment.

TOD:

My primary dancing days were in the 80's and were mostly freeform.  But I have been known to, now and then, Hustle and Electric Slide.

What I had fun doing as a youngen was imitating my older sisters as they did 60's dancing in the living room.  The Mashed Potato, the Popeye, the Hitchhiker, the Monkey and the Jerk.  These steps are occasionally performed nowadays at weddings.
