Jose - thanks for the tips. I'll have to adjust the keywords on the promotion!

Interestingly, I'm doing a promotion thing on the Sanford video also but out of 85,000 views, i was surprised to see in my "insight" than only 4,472 are from the promotion; the rest they say are happening naturally; they call it "viral/other". I'd love to know where they're coming from, but the insight section doesn't give that kind of info.

Fred - You're welcome.

Now, as for your Bruno/Sasha Baron Cohen lyrics... -Will you be using the same visuals they use in the movie?

FJL · « **Reply #211 on:** July 14, 2009, 09:57:59 PM »

I assume you mean the CAROUSEL movie.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #212 on:** July 14, 2009, 10:00:10 PM »

Well... I guess a PAGE EIGHT DANCING DILDOS DANCE could apply here. Kinda, sorta.

bk - Is there any way you could post/link those videos to "unofficial" Alan Menken site?

DR FJL - And as for those Bruno/Goon lyrics... They need to be much more violent. Senseless and violent.

IT'S TOO HOT HERE.

Must now read posts.

Be back in a few.

Jose, do you know how I could get my videos to display on one page like that? Right now, there are three and you have to click "more" or something, and it's real hard to see.

No habla YouTube.

*However, I'm sure if you go to your "Account Settings" or search for "display options" in their Help section, you may find an answer to your question.

Jose - I'm thinking the "rash of understudies at the Palace Theatre" bit to the tune of "America" might be time better spent.
Here's an update of that one.

(verse)

ROSALIA
Palace Theater
You lovely structure
Even your name somehow pleases
Always the musicals running
Always the sightlines truly stunning

ANITA
Palace Theater
You scary structure
Hotbed of actor diseases
Always the vents strongly blowing
Always the standby list is growing
And the folks uh-oh-ing
At the seats they’re buying
As they’re loudly sighing

I like the theater Belasco
That’s where the people with class go!

(the chorus)

OTHERS
I like to be at the Lyceum
OK by me at the Lyceum
So much to see at the Lyceum

ROSALIA
Don’t try to pee at the Lyceum

ANITA
I like the theater called Broadhurst

ROSALIA
Such tiny seats, lose some weight first

ANITA
Such classy dramas are booked there

ROSALIA
And sassy ushers who don’t care

ALL
Maybe I’ll go to the Music Box
I'll spend my dough at the Music Box
Musical show at the Music Box?

ROSALIA
Music’s a no at the Music Box

ANITA
I like the views at the O’Neill

ROSALIA
So go line up, what’s the big deal?

ANITA
I like American Airlines

ROSALIA
Follow the crowd leaving Carmine’s

ALL
Balcony's cheap at the Marriott
Rake is real steep at the Marriott
Nothing too deep at the Marriott

ROSALIA
You'll fall asleep at the Marriott

(big dance break)

ANITA
Barrymore's nice but it's no Cort

ROSALIA
Honey, what is it that you snort?

ANITA
I like the Jacobs's locale

ROSALIA
Smart people still call it Royale

(taunting dance to big finish)

bk - When you had only five or six videos a few weeks ago (when you put up "Turkey Lurkey time") that page definitely displayed for your account.

If any one hasn't seen Karen Olivo do "America" (the REAL song

) here she is on Letterman

DR FJL - On a related note...

Do you think any other shows will end up canceling - like Hair - in October in order to attend the March in Washington, DC?

*I'm guessing there will a lot of understudies all along the Great White Way that week.

FJL · « **Reply #221 on:** July 14, 2009, 10:30:35 PM »

There's a report on All That Chat that with Spielberg in attendance tonight at WEST SIDE STORY, there were no count 'em no understudies.

FJL · « **Reply #222 on:** July 14, 2009, 10:34:23 PM »

Jose - HAIR got that push to do that in the first place probably because Gavin Creel is so at the forefront of the equality fight among Broadway personalities.

HAIR got a lot of great buzz out of doing that, which others who follow presumably won't get.

FJL · « **Reply #223 on:** July 14, 2009, 10:38:14 PM »

Yikes, it's gotten late. Good nihgt!

Sam · « **Reply #224 on:** July 14, 2009, 10:41:36 PM »

Yikes, it's late.

Will now try to watch the videos.

Had fun again reading the posts, vibes to everyone.

Sam · « **Reply #225 on:** July 14, 2009, 10:50:39 PM »

I think I need to logout to watch the videos. I keep getting error on page.

Will try to watch from favorites.

HEALTHY AND CHEERY VIBES FOR WEDNESDAY.

See ya.

I've figured it out, FJL. You have the old channel - not everyone has switched over to the new channel design yet, but it will be automatically done with your page at some point. Then your page will look like mine. I just saw the video about the changes, and you can now set what video appears on your channel page when people arrive (mine is currently The Life I Never Led and I'll switch it up every day). In the next few weeks they'll have a customized display options, but right now this is it - no way to display all videos on one page in the new channel thing. I could go back to the old channel, but I'm a new kind of guy.

Sam, just go directly to www.youtube.com/haineshisway

Oh...

I had tried to post about the reading I was at earlier today during the intermission of said reading, but then the intermission somewhat abruptly ended, and well...

I went to a reading of a new musical, well, more like a "still new" musical - it's been kicking around for a couple of years already. There were some great people on stage - and some great people in the audience too (including at least one or two of bk's "close personal friends"). Alas, the "greatness" of the people on stage just highlighted the weaknesses of the piece.

The composer/lyricist/book-writer and his director really need to follow the adage: Cut what you love. They also need a dramaturge. I think the first act had at least four false finales - people even started to get up after a few of them, myself included. It just felt like a good place for an intermission. The second act also had a couple of back-to-back finales. Plus an epilogue.

However, it was put together nicely. A good space: Theatre 2 at New World Stages. A nice band: six pieces (rock band). A good ensemble: a chorus of 12 (I think). Good, simple staging - all meant to focus the attention on the material. And a decent sound system - although, I felt like the guy at the sound board was trying to mix a rock concert at times, the vocals were just too "close" to the band at times.

*One really interesting I noticed later: The program had bios for the writer, the director, the assistant director, the music director, the musical stager and the producers. No bios for the acting company.

Wow! It seems our not-so-little bk is finally finding the answers for himself!

Yep... Time for me to go to bed.

Goodnight.

DR Michael S - From what you've mentioned before, I don't think you're play will resemble Fully Committed as far as the plot is concerned. However, Fully Committed is a one-man show where the one-man plays a whole slew of characters. It's basically set around a restaurant reservationist, so there's lot of characters and character. Something like 40 of them throughout the course of the play.

Are you familiar with I Am My Own Wife? Another show where all the characters are played by one person. -And it won the Tony and the Pulitzer too.

This play I have heard about and know that it won the awards. Didn't the actor also win that year? I believe its a true story

Michael · « **Reply #232 on:** July 14, 2009, 11:48:52 PM »

I did a little research on Totally Committed and found a clip on you tube in English and Spanish. There is also clips with different actors playing the roles.

Since this play is written for one person in particular I molded to fit him.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #233 on:** July 14, 2009, 11:50:26 PM »

Great news from DR LAURA.

No bios for the actors? Think of the pages and ink that could be saved.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #234 on:** July 14, 2009, 11:50:48 PM »

It is after 2:30 a.m. and now I am hungry.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #235 on:** July 14, 2009, 11:51:14 PM »

Rehearsal was much better tonight, with a bit of this and that and corrections and all.....

Jrand73 · « **Reply #236 on:** July 14, 2009, 11:51:22 PM »

Monday we get the theatre!

Michael · « **Reply #237 on:** July 14, 2009, 11:53:09 PM »
