PAGE SIX DANCE!!

Hmmm, I have SHREK tix for Dec. 3.

[FJL]

For the Dec. 2 HHW mini-get-together, how would people ffel about going to John's Pizzeria on 44th between 7th and 8th?  It's very reasonable cost-wise for anyone on a budget.

How is the pizza?  Silly question in NY.

[FJL]

Or should we meet somewhere outside of the theater district where it would be less crowded?

Any thoughts?

[MBarnum]

Let's all meet....oh, wait.

DH Jed and I had tickets to see Shrek during it's Seattle pre-Broadway run in September.  Our tickets were for September 7th.  Then my water broke on the night of the 5th, and Toby showed up on the 6th.  Needless to say, those tickets were not used.  Sad, though, that we couldn't find anyone to use them...

Darn!  I would've seen it again!

I was thinking of you actually, George.  But I couldn't think how to get ahold of you quickly enough, and honestly we were both so punch-drunk with the new baby in the NICU thing that it just flew by us before we realized.

We also had Manhattan Transfer/Al Jarreau tickets for that next Thursday at the Puyallup Fair that went unused.  We actually managed to contact a few people for those, but no one had that evening free.

It was sad, I hate wasting good tickets.

AARRGGHH!!  I would've killed for the TMT tickets!!  It just wasn't financially an option for me at that time.

Maybe next time.

Shrek Cancels Dec. 2 Performance to Complete Final Changes in New Musical

At least they announced it a week ahead of time.

I'm just back from my meeting, and the guy who's going to be our SM just saw Shrek and said it was truly terrible - in other words, Shrek is dreck.  Why didn't they fix this show after Seattle?  And one day  of rehearsals is going to fix it?

[bk]

John's Pizza is great by me - convenient and good food and inexpensive.  Let's DO it. 

[bk]

Should I see Shrek this evening?  Billy Elliot?  In The Heights?  Gypsy?

[bk]

Or should I just come home and relax.  If I see a show I won't get back here until eleven.

[MBarnum]

I am horrified at today's attacks in Mumbai. Both of those hotels (the Taj Mahal and the Oberei) were ones I was just checking out the websites of yesterday for my future trip there. 

[Ann]

Did I ever tell you people that I saw Bernadette Peters when Jed and I were in New York this summer?  We were walking back to the hotel after seeing A Catered Affair and she was coming towards us on the sidewalk with a handsome man on her arm.  It took me until they were almost past us before it sunk in who I was staring at. I wasn't able to alert Jed until she had passed, but he did glimpse the unmistakable hair as she walked away. 

I hadn't realized how short she really is

An early Christmas present for MattH:

TVGUIDE

Is it true that Moonlight is going to run on the Sci Fi Channel? OMG, that would be wonderful! — Tawny

MICKEY: Yes! We finally have some Alex O'Loughlin-related news for you, Tawny! Starting Jan. 23, Sci Fi will rerun the cancelled vampire drama on Fridays at 9 pm/ET (following repeats of ABC's similarly underappreciated Invasion).

I do appreciate the heads up even though the DVDs come out in January, and I'll be springing for those so I can watch it uninterrupted by commercials. Can't wait!

[Matt H.]

Had a nice leisurely lunch with lots of laughs and fun. And becasue it was an early lunch, I got home by a little after 1.

[Matt H.]

Today's mail brought the rest of Criterion's December wave of Blu-rays: THE THIRD MAN, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, and BOTTLE ROCKET. CHUNGKING EXPRESS on Blu-ray came on Saturday. They all come out on the 16th of December, so they'll wait until I've finished with the Blu-ray set of LOST.

[Matt H.]

I got 3 1/2 episodes of LOST watched. I could have finished the fourth one if I hadn't had to go back to listen to the audio commentary on episode 1.

It's marvelous reliving all of the twists and surprises of Season 4, in my opinion the best season since the first season. And even though I know the twists and turns, the episodes are still loads of fun to see again, and many more things register the second time around, of course, since the shows are so densely packed with information.

[Matt H.]

Just like Season 3 on Blu-ray, the episodes in 1080p are much sharper and more detailed looking than the network (720p) broadcasts. You can count every pore on every face in close-up, and everything is so much more dimensional on these discs.

The sound is definitely more expansive, too. It's uncomrpessed 5.1 sound (16 bit) which really kicks in during storms, explosions, and the like.

Such a great way to prepare for Season 5.

[JoseSPiano]

Should I see Shrek this evening?  Billy Elliot?  In The Heights?  Gypsy?

Are their decent seats available for In The Heights? If so... I'd say, see that show.  -Although, if you could score a ticket to South Pacific, I think you'd enjoy that show more.  -I have a sneaking suspicion you'll think In the Heights is too loud and too "pop".

You and Jed were in NYC this past summer?!?!?!?

[JoseSPiano]

Or should I just come home and relax.  If I see a show I won't get back here until eleven.

Do you have plans for tomorrow morning? Are you planning on heading over to Broadway to watch the Macy's Parade?

See a show tonight!  Support the economy!

...I'm just wondering just how much extra rehearsal time the cancellation will provide the production and creative teams?  I'm guessing this would prevent them from going into (possibly more) overtime, since they'll probably just trade out the three-hour performance slot for another three or four hour rehearsal call.  -Which would include the crew and orchestra.

[JoseSPiano]

Oh...

Good Afternoon!

I had a nice nap.

  Did I forget to mention that??  Yup, we were, for four days over the 4th of July.  We saw A Catered Affair, A Chorus Line, and Boeing Boeing.  For all shows, Jed managed to get front row mezz seats, which was fantastic.

You were in Manhattan and didn't alert any of the HHW Manhattan group?
