Good morning!

I've already shut the windows and doors and turned off the attic fan. By 8:30, it was no longer cooler outside than inside the house. This weekend is going to be really miserable in terms of heat and humidity. I plan to spend as much of it inside as possible. Thank goodness, the yard doesn't need mowing yet.

DR Ginny, who is this Mr Shafor and how did he get involved with the company I started eons ago?
...

I have no idea, DR Elmore.  Remember, I gave up the stage when Richard and I got married, which was only a couple of years after you left town.  I went to the 10-year anniversary of that company and they acted like I was some dinosaur.  The Aug. 15 event will be interesting...

My work project today is Disney's upcoming release of CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC with Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy. I like both the leads, so I'm hoping it's light and funny. That's the appearance it gives from reading the liner notes. It's the Blu-ray version, of course.

I really, really like PHONE BOOTH, and have since I first saw it when it came out. I haven't upgraded to the Blu-ray. The last time I checked the price, it was higher than I wanted to pay, but maybe I'll look around for an Amazon Marketplace deal today. I'd like to have it with its best possible quality.

WOW!  It's not often we see a headline like this in our local newspaper:

Two-Time Tony Nominee Sets Local Performance

I'm so excited!  DR Elmore and I saw Christine Andreas in the Oklahoma revival and I've wanted to see her perform again ever since.


Christine Andreas is a Camden, NJ gal--my hometown!

Her rendition of "On A Clear Day" - which was arranged by her husband, Martin Silvestri - is one of my favorite vocal performances on record (well, CD), and I was fortunate enough to hear it - and her - in person during an audition, with Martin playing for her.  In fact, we heard it twice since the Team asked for an encore!  They were in the midst of recording the album, and it was just as thrilling to hear it again a few months later when the CD came out.

DR Jennifer - I watched the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE elimination show...

First of all, I really like Mia Michael's opening number.  And Kristina Debarge's so-obviously lip-synced performance had me laughing and rolling my eyes.  -And I always feel it's a little "unfair" to the contestants when they feature a musical act that has some not-as-talented or just-as-talented dancers.  In any case...

Yes, it's a popularity contest.  You know that.  I know that.  And we really can't do anything about it.  So... Moving on...

As for who went home last night, it may have been a week or two early for those two to leave, but I don't think either of them would have made it to the final four.

As for the Friday Media Check...

Lo and behold, I actually pulled a CD of my shelf, put it in my CD player and pushed "Play".

Emil Gilels - Piano Concerti: Rachmaninov No. 3, Saint-Saens No. 2, plus 2 Shostakovich Preludes & Fugues.

Otherwise, it's been another week of WNYC and WQXR.

I did watch "The Real Housewives of New Jersey: The Last Supper" last night... WOW!!!!  Usually when they advertise that they will be showing "never before seen footage", there's usually only a few moments of new stuff.  Well, last night's "director's cut" had a LOT of goodies.  I can't wait for next week's Reunion Show.  -Ah, the guilty pleasures in life.

You don't have the wonderful ON YOUR TOES revival? I loved that production! I can't remember who Christine replaced in DC, but she was really wonderful.

I do, too, given my loathing for the original actress, and, calling her that, I give her the benefit of the doubt.

I was all caught up in ROYAL PAINS but Bravo is Rerun City so I'll catch it over the weekend. The ex-con is truly demented, a bit of a psychopath perhaps?, and she's carrying a HUGE chip on that shoulder!

Ah, it looks like I might be able to watch it online, too.  Tomorrow at 10am, I have an appointment for a haircut.

And, no, I don't have the ON THE TOWN recording, but will look for it in NYC.

I've seen her a number of times.  First when she was a rather "just okay" Eliza in the 20th anniversary revival of MY FAIR LADY when it tried-out in Philly, a few years later I saw her as a very fetching Laurie in OKLAHOMA (again in Philly then on B'way--the only thing off was her being a brunette.)  Then she was absolutely wonderful in ON YOUR TOES.

I haven't even heard her in SCARLETTE PIMP but then I avoid anything having to do with Wildhorn.
