I have embarrassed a great many of my friends by refusing to stand with the masses at the end of a production.  That is especially true of the touring companies that come to the Paramount and the 5th Avenue Theatres in Seattle.  I'm sorry, but just because a show is touring the country doesn't mean that it is good.  Just as I learned whn I lived on the East Coast that not every show that plays New York is a winner.

Still I would much rather see people giving a show a standing ovation than watch the crowd use a curtain call as a way to get a head start to the parking garage.

I don't stand for every show although as David mentioned, sometimes I stand just because I want to see the curtain call (it's hell being 5'3"). Automatic standing ovations are on the same level as entrance applause in my book.

Perhaps you have pet names, in keeping with today's WOD!

I was surprised at Brantley's review of Gypsy. Since Isherwood was there as well (I think Fred said that last week) perhaps they will run his review also.

Fred, I meant to ask yesterday but didn't get around to it. You don't have relatives from long ago in the music business, do you? Anthony is reading a biography of Victor Herbert (generously given to him by the lovely Larry Moore). In the beginning acknowledgements the author (in 1952 I believe) thanks a Fred Landau who was one of Herbert's conductors. Just wondering.

DR JoseSPiano - In case you didn't get to yesterday's Arts & Leisure section, you may find this article interesting: Steinway's sole double-keyboard piano.

I think....and I used to be this age....some of the phenomenon that is the TOD...is the longing to belong to something.  And being a member of a group that 'adores' a show or a group of performers or sees a show dozens of times....in some way makes the success of that show or performer shine a little on you!

Except for the people DR JOSE mentioned, I think these people will move on with their lives...or at least other shows.  Unfortunately they do great harm to those in the audience who still think of theatre as THAT and not a fan club meeting.

All of the hooting and hollering and carrying on and ovations that are staged do tend to turn the performance into a high school auditorium presentation and the performers into students at Miss Ludie's dance recital.

TOD

I will never giving a standing ovation for a song during a show. That is ridiculous. For the concert series I see every year. Sometimes I stand and sometimes I sit depending on a performance. But it always seems to start in the same section. The people who sit around me never seem to stand, but that may be due to the fact that they have walkers or wheelchairs.

Not exactly the latests. They are probably just waiting to clear up all the legalities before turning off the life support system.

Noel - When you say, "I'm merely bemused and amused that three 2007 musicals by famous writers, Curtains, The Pirate Queen and The Glorious Ones are ever-so-faintly reminiscent of mine," has this been true of any other year?  And do you believe any of these people saw or were aware of your work?

Good morning all!  
I see I have a lot of catch-up reading to do since leaving the board yesterday afternoon.

I want to thank everyone for being so welcoming to me.  Thanks Dear Reader Laura, DR Tomovoz, DR td, DR MBarnum, DR Singdaw, DR Jose, and BK for the warm welcomes.  DR elmore - thank you for those very kind words, and I feel the same way about you, you know!

DR Singdaw - I'm sorry I missed you at Westport.  Were you part of the orchestra along with Jose?  I thought the show was very interesting.  I couldn't resist seeing a new Kander & Ebb, and I wanted to see Eric Michael Gillett, with whom I have studied voice.  I find myself doing more and more traveling to see theater - as if there isn't enough of it in NY!  :-)
