As it always is, we've found a couple of typos in the book - unavoidable, it seems, no matter how hard we try and how often we proof.  One is on page 145 - there's a missing show title - Peter Pan.  Somehow, between two of Grant's layouts it got dropped.  And my eye would never have known to catch it - it's infuriating, since it was there in the first galley and gone in the second, and HOW it could just disappear is even a bigger mystery to me, unless we did a fix in that area and it screwed it up.  The other is more minor - on page 153 there's an "or" that should have been an "of" - again, those things are so hard to catch because it's not misspelled and the eye tends to compensate for the wrong letter.

The ratings for THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE have been horrendous. I'm not sure how long they'll let it run unless things pick up a bit.

I'm glad we turn it off.

Good morning, all! In a very few minutes I will run up to the lumber store and pick up my two pieces of plywood and bring them back here. After that, I will head down to the Finians on Broadway office and deal with contracts and invoices. I think I will then run over to Local 802 and give the Music Prep dept. the signed contract and copy of invoice.

Then, when I return, I will fix the bookcases and get back to work on FINIAN'S RAINBOW. At some point I need to have a phone conversatin with Jeff Saver who's asked me about working on TIME AFTER TIME, his musical with Stephen Cole.


Yes!  Yes!  Yes!

I'm going to see it tonight, too, but it's only at 7:00 pm, at one theater in the area.  I'm still deciding if I want to pay an extra dollar to buy the ticket on-line or just take my chances.

You'll absolutely get a new recording IF the producers pay for it.  That's the way it works these days, so if they've put the money in the budget, then either Ghostlight or PS Classics will have it.


Perhaps a truly stupid question for BK.  Couldn't Kritzerland put in a bid to produce the cast recording of FR?

Tonight another new episode of GLEE which I'm looking forward to. I'm going to sample the ABC sitcoms that come on opposite GLEE: MODERN FAMILY and COUGAR TOWN (though I won't see them until I eat lunch tomorrow).

CBS' schedule is all returning shows with their season premieres tonight.

NBC has the poorly reviewed new show MERCY and LAW & ORDER: SVU on its new night and time.


At 8pm there are actually 3 shows that are quite similar and would appeal to the same audience:

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL, DANCING WITH THE STARS and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.

I will also try EASTWICK at 10pm.

I love DANCING WITH THE STARS.  I would enjoy watching SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.  However, there is no punishment known to mankind or to Guantanamo Bay that could force me to watch AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL.  I see no similarity between MODEL and the other two programs.

Well...this is an interesting tidbit about a (possible) new TV show:

Spielberg, Shaiman, Wittman, Zadan and Meron in Talks for TV Series About a New Musical

Quote
Variety reports that Tony-winning composers Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can) are also in negotiations to score the project. A goal would be to stage the musical on Broadway after the series airs. (The stage show at the center of the series is not related to any existing musical.)

The scripted series — it's not a documentary — will trace the process of creating a new musical from conception to songwriting, the alignment of investors, through casting and the rehearsal process. The show would also focus on the personal lives and stories of the individuals involved.

TCB - even though I was the first to come up with this business model of producers paying and the label taking a distribution fee, at the time I handed that proposal in and a budget to the Shubert's for Amour, I was just about to start Kritzerland.  One of the people at the Shubert's knew the owner of Ghostlight, and he handed them my budget and the rest is history.  Only those two labels seem to have the wherewithall to get in there under those terms - it's really annoying, but they go where they're comfortable.

Glad to hear of his safe arrival, whatever his name is!

Thank you.  Last I heard they had a girl's name agreed on, not a boys.  We had the same problem with Craig & had trouble deciding between 3 names.  His hospital certificate says Baby Boy.

DR Cillaliz, re: DANCING WITH THE STARS.

I don't always decide my favorite in the first week. But i can see who i think i will like.

As i said, for the men, i thought mark (iron chef), louie and aaron carter had potential. And i did think donny osmond was really good.

As for the women last night, there were some very interesting ones. I also thought kelly osbourne did much better than i ever could have expected. Especially after they showed how bad she was initially. I thought her free dance was amazing.

The best to me though were mya and joanna. I thought mya and dimitri's dance was one of the best ever. It was so beautiful. I could not believe len gave them a 5. Even if he did not think it was traditional. He could have given them a 7.

I figured joanna and derek would be good and they were.

Sabrina the teenage witch(melissa joan hart) to me was just okay in her main dance. But i loved her relay.

I thought macy gray was not good at all. Although i wonder if she has a lot of fans. Besides her i thought that kathy ireland was the worst.

I also think natalie coughlin (olympic swimmer) could do well. She seemed a little stiff.

But it seems like the best will be mya, joanna and kelly!


I liked Kelly better than Mya, but i think I may have been harvesting DR Ron's blueberry field on Farmtown when she was dancing

They were the original Beatles, but their manager thought they needed an overhaul on the names.  George was obstinant, so he kept his.  Wally became "Ringo"...and Charlie and Michael are John and Paul.

Who are your favorites so far on DWTS?   Who do you think should go home tonight?   I'd say Macy Gray (sorry Macy) and either Tom Delay or the fighting guy, don't remember his name.
