Is anyone there?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #31 on:** June 05, 2007, 05:02:54 AM »

To answer my own question. Yes - but back in yesterday.

Goodnight from OZ.

DRs JoseSPiano and Ann - thanks for posting all the lovely photos.

DR Edisaurus - I love Bill Irwin! Have no idea where he lives, but wouldn't be surprised if it was up here in Westchester county.

WOD: DR JRand56 is the master of all things oneiric.

Roza was pretty bad; especially the big SEANCE/production number.

It's too bad about the first reading getting such a small audience. That had to have affected the energy. I hope they were able to pull away some chairs so that evryone didn't look around and wonder where all the people were who didn't come. (The theory I've heard is that when there are loads of empty seats, the people who do come imagine that there were people expected to come who just didn't, and this affects their enjoyment of the event.)

Good morning/evening, Tomovoz.

Do you know where your bowl is?

Yep--they're all up in the cupboard. The big yellow one is for making cake batter, the green one is for making Jell-O, the red one is for haircuts and the blue is for storing leftover green beans in the fridge.

THe TOD raises the question of the material you're performing. Does it make a difference to the performer if they are doing a reading of brand new material, never before presented to an audience, or if they are doing the tried-and-true [the zillionth performance of Fiddler, for example.

TOD:

DADDY GOODNESS, a show that tried out in Philly and never went any where after that, as far as I recall. Nothing worked in this show--no laughs and every song fell flat. The production numbers pushed too hard and went on too long. But you couldn't blame the cast. Ted Ross, Frieda Payne and Clifton Davis gave it their all and did their damnest to sell it to the crowd. They were terrific, but the material gave them no support.

I saw the show on its third performance, at a point when the cast was still hopeful and enthusiastic. I recall hearing that towards the end of the run, Payne was basically walking through the show except during her numbers.

FJL · « **Reply #40 on:** June 05, 2007, 06:21:58 AM »

The example of THE COLOR PURPLE comes to mind, because the chnage has been so dramatic. I never would have imagined when I saw it early in its run that it had the potential to be as powerful to me, but the cast changes and I'd imagine a tightening in the performance that has come with time have elevated the show, making the material seem much better than it did when the show first opened.

I was able to see the pictures from last night. I looked in Firefox instead of IE7.

Adorable, Jose. Oh, yeah, the kids are cute too

The wedding photos are quite loverly. You two make a beautiful couple. I bet TCB was poppin' his buttons with pride!

Nope, DR Singdaw, these are them:

DR Ann certainly made a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful bride!

Tuesday morning greetings! My workplace is ashambles today, because they're remodeling the check-out desk for the self-check apparatus. Fortunately, I get to be out of the building for a chunk of the middle of the day, lunching with area grantmakers.

I know where all our dishes are, because I emptied the dishwasher before leaving for work

Last night's family photos from DR Jose were very sweet, as were the wedding photos from DR Ann.

I'm a mite tee'd off with Amazon this morning. I read that DR Matt received his A LITTE NIGHT MUSIC DVD yesterday and yet my copy (which I order back in March) has yet to even ship! Likewise, in the same order, the Broadway's Lost Treasures: The Plays DVD, which was released eons ago, has yet to ship. I see that I can get a copy of this one second-hand on eBay for dollars less. I just might do that!

And did anyone else order Audra's 110 IN THE SHADE from Amazon? It was suppose to ship with CURTAINS, but now it looks like they shipped the latter by itself. Grrrrrrrrr...

singdaw · « **Reply #47 on:** June 05, 2007, 06:42:13 AM »

DR Dan (the Man) - I ordered 110 directly from ps classics, and it arrived about two days later.

singdaw · « **Reply #48 on:** June 05, 2007, 06:43:10 AM »

OK - for those without a CLEW - what is the connection between DR TCB and DRs Ann & Jed?

singdaw · « **Reply #49 on:** June 05, 2007, 06:48:16 AM »

DR George, I listened to A Doll's Life yesterday. I must have listened to the LP a lot more than I remember, as I was much more familiar with this score than I would have expected. If I didn't know better, I would never identify this as the work of the same composer who wrote Snoopy!. There are many lovely moments of lyricism in this score.

OMG! I have that EXACT set of bowls. I use the Red Bowl for Jello, the Yellow Bowl for big salads, the Green Bowl for smaller salads and the Blue Bowl for various and sundried things.

I don't know if Ann and Jed still live in the same apartment complex as TCB but they did while before and while they were planning the wedding. IIRC (please those of you with better memories, correct me if I'm wrong) TCB and Jed appeared in a production together playing father and son, hence the relative connection.

Good Morning!

Well... Almost time for me to head back to NYC. I've had a wonderful weekend down here with my family, and it really was just what I needed at this point and time. And as a bonus, the weather is absolutely gorgeous today! I'll probably end up in Central Park a few hours after I get off the train. We'll see.

Time for me to say Goodbye to my brother and his family.

And I shall think about the Topic of the Day while on the train.

Laters...
