QUO VADIS' color is rather unseemly, that's all I'll say for now.

But....but....it was supposedly remastered frame-by-frame...!

TOD: During long boring plays, my legs and feet get restless. I make sure I wear shoes that are easy to slip off, just in case the play is boring and I have to wiggle my toes. Most boring shows I have blocked from my memory, but I do remember taking off my shoes and also falling asleep during "Art." We joke that "the show was so boring I took off my shoes."

I have pretty much learned to give away the drama tickets that come in my season ticket package.

BK, did you see Sherman Edwards' son's post to CASTRECL? Seems like that would be a perfectly perfect Kritzerland release, IMHO.

Good Morning All. I overdid it on my foot the last two days (because i had a lot of hobbling around to do) because tree trimmers broke a pipe , a main pipe on my patio. A plumber fixed it, but as soon as the sprinklers in the courtyard came on, the pipe burst again. The HOA is in my side, and no one can water their plants at the moment since that's the pipe that is connected. Luckily I now know where the valve is (and it is off , and the Board put a note on it to leave it off). They'll probably have to tear up some of the brickwork on my patio/ Luckily I was home (supposed to be resting myankle) when the two breaks occurred, so I managed to alert those in charge quickly before too much flooding and wasted water happened. One woman got quite testy yesterday as she was watering her plants and I had to turn off her water. I had to bring my watering can in and fill it in the litchen to water a few plants, so i figure she can do the same.

Ahhh, I have always dreamed of filling the waters in the litchen!

T.O.D.

Certainly that God-awful New York production of PERFECT CRIME fits into the category of a long evening in the theater. The play itself isn't that long, but nothing happens of any importance during the entire show. I am amazed that the Bunco Squad hasn't shut that show down for ripping off the tourists.

Did you have to take off your shoes, too?

I played James Tyrone in a production of LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT that was done to mark the 100th anniversary of Eugene O'Neil's birth. In honor of the occasion, the play was presented completely uncut. Big mistake. Despite a very talented cast, the show is just too long. Modern audiences figure out that Mary is a druggie the very first time the subject comes up, it does not require five or six long, drawn-out, and extremely wordy repetitions to get the point across. The audiences were extremely kind to us after the show, but I always wondered if it was the kindness brought on by shared tragedy.

If I had, I would have thrown them.

I have no doubt that I have been in some plays that would fit the TOD.

I am most impressed and astounded by the photo of John Abraham on the cover of the FilmFare magazine.

It is most immodest of him to appear undressed as such, and will probably cause great outcry.

Is that issue still available on new stands?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #161 on:** October 23, 2008, 04:50:07 PM »

TOD: A production of Don DeLillo's THE DAY ROOM, which read very well.....but under the mis-direction of an idiot, turned out to be incomprehensible and completely without any of the wonder or mystery in the script.

And the SAME director's production of THE LISBON TRAVIATA.....

I am almost always amazed and astounded by photos of John Abraham, and believe me, I'm crying out loud greatly!

T.O.D. 3

Surprisingly, a good friend who is usually a talented director, a cast full of quality actors, and a stunning two story set all combined to produce one of the worst productions of ARESENIC AND OLD LACE that I have ever imagined. Intermission began at 9:55, you figure it out.

Kerry · « **Reply #165 on:** October 23, 2008, 05:11:14 PM »

I always stay through to the end. There have only been a few productions that i wanted to walk out on, but I kept hoping they would get better and somehow redeem themselves. They didn't.

$:-\$

I see that Liza is returning to The Palace in December. How sad. Has she regained any of the voice she used to have?

Theater report from New Brunswick, NJ - The TOXIC AVENGER musical at George Street Playhouse turned out to be far more elaborate a physical production than I was expecting. It seemed like it must be very expensive to run. Nancy Opel was a total riot in a dual role. The book's really offensive but funny bad taste doesn't yet mesh well with the sincerity of many of the lyrics - so I think it was wise that they've opted to put off the show's NYC debut, which I assume will give them time to make the show's disparate elements less jarring. And even though director John Rando has had his flops, his direction and Wendy Seyb's choreography make magic together.

I'm not on that newsgroup. Can you e-mail me and tell me about it - also, if you think it's good for Kritzerland, please get the guy in touch with me asap.

Well, it looks like The Great White Way will be quite "vacant" come January. Spring Awakening announced their closing date today, January 18. -And that's already in addition to Hairspray, January 4, and Spamalot, also on January 18.

Okay, I guess it's going to take me to officially say it: Where in tarnation IS everyone? We're still on page six? This will bring back my flu, so let's get off our collective butt cheeks and get some postin' goin' on and before I start bitch-slapping everyone from here to eternity and hell and back.

Well, someone better say something. I haz spoken. Another thirty minutes of this and I may go berserk, like Joan Crawford, and if I do there is no telling whether there will be a board to post on. I just remember the withdrawal symptoms of that terrible two days when the switch happened - and now we get this. I tell you - thirty minutes and I shall go berserk, like Joan Crawford.
