My question for ASK BK day.....what is the BEST dance performance you have ever seen?

The Prologue from West Side Story is in the top five. Gene Castle in Popularity from George M. Donna McKechnie's big three - Turkey Lurkey Time, Tick Tock, and Music and the Mirror. Whoever did that incredible end of act one dance in Pacific Overtures. The dance team's number in Grand Hotel - spectacular.

Brent will be calling to go over all these notes, to narrow them down to only the really important things. But I've warned him and his MD - once I make whatever changes, that's it.

I believe Pat Birch from Grease did the choreography for The Lion Dance.

From Grand Hotel I always like We'll Take A Glass Together.

Yes, read Shayne's lovely review - I posted about it the other day.

I spent the first part of the evening watching the bonus featurettes on the Z disc. A nice mix of current interviews and vintage ones. (Costa-Gavras was an extremely handsome man when he made the film. Wow! I had no idea!)

Nothing lasted very long, however, so I was finished with those features in about an hour.

Matt H. · « **Reply #192 on:** October 14, 2009, 07:42:38 PM »

I went to my to-watch bookcase (expanded from the to-watch shelf) and selected ALL THE KING'S MEN. This was the original DVD release of the 1949 Best Picture winner, so there was almost no clean-up for the video, and much of the image quality was spotty. I suspect more recent releases gave it a little more attention.

Still, for a movie I've waited this long to see on DVD at all, it was good enough.

Matt H. · « **Reply #193 on:** October 14, 2009, 07:45:15 PM »

When I finished it, I had some time before GLEE was set to be watched, so I took GYPSY (1962) off the shelf and watched four numbers: "You'll Never Get Away From Me" (both the theatrical cut and the outtake), "All I Need Is the Girl," "Let Me Entertain You/Striptease version," and "Rose's Turn."

As one of my all-time favorite movie musicals, it just made me want to start the movie from the beginning and watch the whole thing.

Matt H. · « **Reply #194 on:** October 14, 2009, 07:46:34 PM »

I enjoyed GLEE's numbers, especially the last one, but I just HATE that we've got to go through all these baby machinations with WIll and his wife all season-long. It just KILLS me to see what she's doing to him.

Finishing up a few items on the computer and then heading downstairs to bed.

Good night!

Is he playing the same character he did previously?

Sorry I've been E and T. Work has been very busy - good thing with all the changes coming up. And tonight I went to The Wedding Singer. It was fun to see the 80s jokes, since the 80s were my college days.

But I have a real pet peeve...the way they do the sound these days. Our theater has great acoustics, but with the mics and the way they mix the sound it's always muffled and hard to hear clearly. It really takes away from enjoying the show. It's the same with all the shows I've seen lately, so I guess I just have to adjust, but I really hate it

bk · « **Reply #199 on:** October 14, 2009, 09:01:04 PM »

Finished with my viewing tonight. Haven't heard from Brent, and if I don't, I'll just do whatever fixes I deem necessary. The mixes, which both he and his MD think are wonderful, are suddenly being nitpicked to death and the problem is that when you start futzing with stuff that is correct and magical then they become less with every futz. And I will not jeopardize the magic, even if it irks them. I've been through too many albums where this nitpicking happens and other than an occasional swapping of something volume-wise or line-wise, it always, always ends up making the track less magical the more you try to make everyone happy.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #200 on:** October 14, 2009, 09:01:34 PM »

The other thing is they had a live orchestra, but with the sound mixed, it sounded like it was a recording. I hate that too

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #201 on:** October 14, 2009, 09:02:00 PM »

DR Cillaliz - It's because most sound guys mix from the back of the house - not from where the audience is actually sitting. And once a show goes into "long run mode", well... $:-\$

Cillaliz · « **Reply #202 on:** October 14, 2009, 09:02:31 PM »

well, orchestra is stretching it a bit, but there were live musicians - it's just with the way the sound is done, i wouldn't have known it if I hadn't seen them

I know, I'd just like to go and be able to hear clear sound for once and be able to enjoy the singers and the music. Like it was in the olden days, lol

My complaint about the tour shows at Gammage is that I can't understand most of the lyrics. However, at the very small Phoenix Theater, I can understand every word.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #205 on:** October 14, 2009, 09:07:59 PM »

That's exactly what I'm talking about, only lere it's the Orpheum where I can't understand.
