Good morning, all! I slept late, which I needed, and I am going to finish this morning the Exit Music for "The Brain." The MD and I decided yesterday to use the "All About Men" dance break, but since we never finish the refrain with the band - DR Cason resumes the song - I need to put the rest of the number together. We think it will send the audience out in a happy mood, although I think with all the silliness and fun of everythng before, you'd be westcoastdrama to not be already in a happy mood.
Yesterday morning, at rehearsal, when we got to the finale of the show, I got a bit teary thinking about how wonderful this cast was and how much I will miss this show again when it's over in three more weeks.
After I finish the Exit Music, I will deal a bit with my editorial guidelines: tomorrow I have to finish them as promised, so I'll throw everything I've written so far together, see how it stands, and add the new materials I need to cover.
BK, I'm glad you enjoyed THE FANTASTICKS; did you see my goddaughter Charlotte's infatuation Mr Nick Spangler as Matt? He's a good guy, and I think he might be in one of the NYMF shows. I should ask him. I first saw THE FANTASTICKS, directed by Word Baker with a cast of off-Broadway replacements, a week before I entered college. It was the final summer production at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park on a cool early September night, and now - whenever I see the show and the imaginative sound of harp and piano begins - I turn 17 again and for two and a half hours the whole world lies before me.
TOD: almonds, almost any way shape and form.
And pecan pie!
