THE SPLIT LICKETY

Well, you've read the notes, the notes certainly had that lickety split feeling, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're looking for their lickety, which split.

I guess the word of the day is applied to previews of those revisal musicals.

My "ask bk" question from last week didn't get answered, so I'm re-posting:

We know that you often commission or create charts especially for your recordings.  But what happens if you want to do a CD of many different songs, from different musicals, with the original orchestrations.  Do you rent the full orchestral parts for each show?  And do you then get the entire set of parts for each show for each song represented on the recording?  THAT would be a mountain of material!  Or do you get sent just the songs you need from each show?  It seems like that would be very daunting.  :)

A couple of weeks ago, I had a (somewhat long and involved) question about the score to "The Creature Wasn't Nice," but I can't remember what it was all about...I hate it when that happens. :P

So, I'll try to remember what it was, but if I don't...oh, well. :-\

Interestingly, unless I've done a cast album, I have never used an original orchestration from a show - I always had/have new charts done, usually to a routine that I've done.  However, I think the only exception to that was when we recorded Waiting, cut from The King And I, and My Best Love cut from Flower Drum Song - for those we had the original Robert Russell Bennett orchestrations.

For Ask BK Day: Maybe I missed your answer when I've asked before, but is Guy Haines making an appearance at the November benefit?

The Party Animals look like a lot of fun, and the kids are having a blast in the video!

I didn't see the "other" video...

Well, I'm going back to bed but before I do I must commend DR Cillaliz for fighting for the building. You go, girl! You will soon be a fixture on the local news!

If you do want to send a copy of the weather video, I can put up a link that only HHWers would know about.

I'm all alone in the jernt, at least right now. I may have company by the time I finish.

I saw Xanadu last night. It brings up a whole host of questions, like Xana Why??? and other exclamation like Xana Don't!!!

Wow, what a misfire. There are one or two very funny lines but the movie was such an unrelenting dog (IMHO) that I just don't understand why they thought that gentle mocking or spoofing would work in turning this into a musical. It still needs HUGE, HUGE amounts of work and I don't think previews will fix the problems. I usually love Douglas Carter Beane's work but this book is awful, with the exception of a few funny lines (as I mentioned earlier). The show isn't even deliciously bad. That would be fun but it's just bad. Tony Roberts and Mary Testa (two old pros) work mightily coming off well with very weak material but the more I see Kerry Butler, the less I like her. She was good in Hairspray and Bat Boy when she was playing kind of smarmy characters but when I saw her in Little Shop and now this I just think she's missing something. There has to be a likeability about Clio/Kyra (and Audrey in Little Shop) but that was missing from Miss Butler's performance. There are also audio problems. Even with a mike I had trobule hearing/understanding her. James Carpinello who was in Saturday Night Fever, plays the Michael Beck role. He's a little better than Butler, but not by much. He's not sexy or hot and he's a decent singer but nothing special.

The audience last night LOVED the show but unless they tap into that cult group the show will not last long, IMHO. I don't think Brantley or Isherwood will like the show (the two main critics for the NY Times).

SPOILER









The funniest line in the show (I don't think I'm giving anything away) is

This is like Children's Theatre for 40 year old gay men.

It was downhill after that.

I love the Birthday CD.  Maybe Tomovoz should market a specialty CD for birthdays, featuring the songs that were popular every year (or every other year) on your birthday.  Hmm, maybe  that is a good idea for my sister's 60th this month.

The early morning denizens are dropping like flies. Perhaps they were in the audience of Xanadu last night and could not face getting out of bed this morning.

Oh, yes. If Xanadu is still running while you're here and you really want to see the show, you can get seats on stage! It seems to be the newest trend. Spring Awakening, Inherit the Wind and Xanadog (sorry Xanadu)
