I'm going to head downstairs to bed now.

Good night!

And now that it's official that Next To Normal will be transferring to Broadway, well... That's one more thing I don't have to keep under wraps.

*The show will be going into the Longacre, and to keep it an "intimate experience", they will be closing off the balcony.

I'm really out of the loop on this one.  I know next to nothing about this show.

Well... It's had an interesting history over the past year or so.  It started at Second Stage off-Broadway - where I saw it with DR FJL.  Then Arena Stage picked it up for their current season with most of the original off-Broadway cast intact.  -Brian D'Arcy James went on to Shrek, and Asa Somers role was recast.  And now it's coming back to New York, but this time to Broadway.

Because of the involvement of some of the actors, it attracted the attention of some of those "screaming audience members": Alice Ripley, Aaron Tveit, and Jennifer Damiano (who had just left Spring Awakening at the time). And with a score by Tom Kitt, well...

I'm happy that the show is getting a second chance, and I'm happy that another musical is being added to slate of openings this Spring - especially in light of the current economic climate.  However, because of the current economic climate, well... It's going to be an interesting Spring for everyone and everything on Broadway.

Alice Ripley sang a song from NEXT TO NORMAL, when it was still called FEELING ELECTRIC, "I Miss the Mountains" on a live cd (featuring Emily Skinner) recorded at New York's Town Hall by some esteemed producer of note.

Doesn't TALES OF MANHATTAN center on an overcoat which goes from owner to owner?

I believe it is a set of evening clothes, not an overcoat.  The only reason I have some memory of this is that Sam Raimi once took me to lunch and talked about remaking the movie with me.  Alas, it never happened.  Charles Boyer and Charles Laughton are both in it; can't remember who else.

Jose - And didn't we end up sitting right next to Jay Binder at N2N?  Or was he a few seats over?

I am at the Interval of DHOOM 2 - a fun, action-packed, sexy film.

Woohoo! I loved Dhoom and Dhoom 2!

I have had the conversation I needed to have and that's out of the way.  I didn't eat any food until an hour ago.  I sure do hope I have a voice for our reading tomorrow night.  Luckily, I have no plans at all during the day, so I'll just keep my gaping maw shut.  I'm not sure I'm up for highlighting fifteen scripts - we'll see how I feel about it in the morning.  Someone was going to help, but that's not happening now.

We've gotten some decent orders for our new release, but it's not going to be the instant sellout that the last three releases were - we say it over and over, but Alex North does not sell like Herrmann or Bernstein - I don't know why, either, but it's always been that way.  Still, we're down to the last two hundred, so that's good.
