I remember an episode of OUTER LIMITS (one of my favorite episodes) that used that premise

Perhaps that was it...the memory is very hazy!  And, as you and others have noted, it's not a particularly original premise...

After my little diatribe about Xanadu, I do want to say that Jose and I agree about 110 in the Shade. I lked the entire production and I thought Miss McDonald was glorious. It was a beautiful performance and if her name had been called as winner on Tony night I would not have been suprised. She and John McCullum as father and daughter were wonderful. She even won over one of our theatre mates who, as much as she enjoys McDonald, was resistant to the color-blind casting. She said after the show that it didn't matter. The color line disappeared and they were just "family".

By coincidence my mail today contained a CD of the Marketts "Out Of Limits". (well it's close and it's bedtime here)

a QUESTION FOR THE NYC CAST

The Lincoln Center production of South Pacific which opens in Jan 2008 is considered the first Broadway revival of the musical (Hard to believe) but why is the 1967 Lincoln Center Revival with Florence Henderson & Giorgi Tozzi NOT considered a Broadway Revival?

Well, this will be a brief missive, as I have to be at some business stuff pretty soon.

A glorious good morning and big hugs to our lovely east coast hainsies and kimlets...

.... and a good morning for later on to the dear, Esteemed, and many-armed BK, and the the west coast studlies and lovelies.

And now, I must find coffee for my gaping maw, and then skeedaddle!

Bk - Milla is performing in the Town hall concert on Monday night, but arranging to get the CD's on sale there on Monday wouldn't be realistic unless she has the CD's in hand when we discussed.  It's just not something she can deal with on the performance day.

Good morning, all! I have little to report this morning; I have more charts to work on, we're still waiting for a signed lease, we're still waiting to move, and my dance card is filling up with other matters.

A friend sent me an email this morning that tenor Jerry Hadley shot himself yesterday but I can find nothing in the news.  Anyone hear anything?

DR Michael S, when the Music Theatre of Lincoln Center did SOUTH PACIFIC in the 1960s, I would guess the production, as well as the other shows they did under Richard Rodger's title as producer, was considered similar to the limited City Center runs of musicals.  The productions were specifically summer runs in the New York State Theatre during breaks for the City Opera and City Ballet.

DT tomovoz, I too am a fan of DEADWOOD.

There is an early 1950s British film of ALICE by puppeteer Lou Bunin, with Carol Marsh as Alice. It was suppressed by Disney so it would not compete with their animated version.  I have it on VHS, and it's interesting.  My problem with the John Barry score for the 1970s British film is a lot  of Don Black's lyrics: when Alice sings in "I've Never Been This Far Before" the world is like a birthday cake/and I mean to take a piece before I wake, she doesn't know she's asleep!

Oy.  Dumbass lyricists.  He should work for Sir Andrew.

Yeah! What he said.

The Lincoln Center space was not considered a "Broadway" house back in 1967 and the show was not playing at the Beaumont (IIRC). Neither the New York State Theatre or the Met space are considered Broadway houses and SP played at NY State Theatre.

Actually Burton did play Alice.

Indeed, Burton did play Alice.  It was a nice performance in an otherwise drab production.

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers.  It is cloudy and cool here at  6:15 a.m. and only 90 degrees. I have had my coffee walk already.

That was one of the 8 shows that DH Richard and I saw in 7 days, between Christmas Day 1982 and New Year's Day 1983.  What a glorious week that was in NYC!

Are we talking about the Great Performances version? I thought he played the White Knight in that.
