Edi-BIG TIME VIBES FOR THE CLOSER! These vibes are for you as well as all of us fans you want the show to continue.

Jose-oops! I saw Annie in the spring of 1979.

DR Laura I have no idea why a kitchen item would have a little symbol of a wine glass and a fork on it.

Ben-I enjoyed your family photos. You obviously were a great big brother.

Wherever you are, I picture you wearing hot pink on your special day.

Good Morning! (Once again)

Well.. 18 dancers (men) later, and now I'm "on break" until 2:00. So...

At least I brought my laptop with me, and my ACL score to practice.

And my audition session tonight got cancelled. HOO and RAY!!!

DR Sandra will thank you for the answer to the tuna question, JRand. She is still bitter about being on the phone (which she avoids as much as possible) when that episode was on.

I am hungry. I think I will eat pancakes.

As for the Topic of the Day...

Ditto.

However, in particular...

"Buenos Aires" from Evita - A great "time passing" sequence".
"The Dance at the Gym" - West Side Story - What's sort of "sad" about this number, is that there is sooooo much going on, that it's inevitable that the audience can't see everything and everyone. Some of the hardest bits of choreography happen upstage at times.
The Whole Montage Sequence from A Chorus Line - However, I do have to give a major credit to Tharon Musser's lighting - all those isolated pools of light. -Oh, and the reveal of the ballet class in "At The Ballet".
"The Little House of Uncle Thomas" - The King & I - The magic of simplicity.

-Plus a few other ones I know I'm forgetting right now.

Danced first. Then kept five to sing.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #108 on:** June 18, 2007, 09:03:09 AM »

My favorite part of Annie is that the chorus never learns its words so we get:

Annie...Annie...
Annie....mumble mumble mumble...

Annie...Annie..
Annie....mumble mumble mumble

And the EPA for the upcoming Guys & Dolls revival is next door. Been a slow day over there too. One of the hazards of auditioning during the summer.

Tell me about it.

Oh... And one semi-random comment from last night's presentation of It's A Bird! It's A Plane! It's Superman!... Cheyenne Jackson is HOT!! -And, actually, he seems hotter now than when he did when he was in All Shook Up. I may have to see Xanadu again.

*Oh, and there was an addendum to his program bio:

"And as of 6/22/07, you can see him as Sonny in Xanadu. Please, don't tell him to "Break A Leg!"

BK, do you know if THE RATINGS GAME was always intended for Showtime? I wonder if it was ever thought of for theatrical release. It sure had a wonderful plot idea and a cast full of stars.

For those unfamiliar with the RATINGS GAME, Danny DeVito plays a rich, kind of stupid businessman, who dreams of being a TV star so he produces terrible pilots for himself, and they are so bad, but he finds a network like NBC is now, in such bad shape that they'll put anything on. Then he devises a kind of brilliant scheme to make the ratings appear to be really high for his shows and becomes a great success for awhile.

It was a Showtime project, and in those days, the beginnings of cable, really, there was no chance of a theatrical release.

I, too, am glad for the low box-office of Nancy Drew. I'm sure it will do okay on DVD, but I'm hoping this stops any further films.

I had way too much fun writing my new book, and the heroine is too smart and funny (think a today female Kritzer) and the book panders to no one or nothing - it just presents its mystery, the heroine (a journalism fanatic) has to become an amateur sleuth, and, you know, I think the mystery part of it, the sleuthing, is interesting and done in the way these things are supposed to be done (part of the fun of writing this book was that my previous mysteries were very non-traditional - this time I wanted to see if I could write a traditional series mystery - or what I hope will be a series). I don't have my fifteen-year-old protagonist jumping off trains or doing hair-raising impossible stunts. Just detection.
