There is an elementary school three blocks from my house that is presently conducting a "costume parade."

I can hear the screaming all the way from here.

And if you can hear theirs, imagine what they must think when they can hear yours.....

What was the last B'way show/play to have a tableau curtain call? I don't know the answer--just wonderin'. Probably something artsy-fartsy like METAMORPHOSES...

In San Francisco, Lestat had one. $:-\$

Did it? I don't recall it. Of course, I was so numb by the ending it's a miracle I remember much about it at all.

Those costumes are for the wedding/final scene of the show. And the curtain call. And, yes, it is very BROADWAY and flattering.

WEDDING?

Rats. You should have posted a spoiler warning.

Well, maybe I blocked it out too. However, I actually do remember the curtain call since the finale at the time featured a whole slew of characters from "future" Anne Rice, "Lestat" books. Due to the lavishness and size of those costumes, the characters had to stay on stage. -Which, of course, ended up confusing the audience - myself included - even more since "we" were applauding characters/actors that had not appeared earlier in the show. -But those costumes did make for a nice lobby display in the Time-Warner Center once the show came into NYC.

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a parade, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're a parade, too.

BK, I thought I had remembered you saying that you didn't like PARADE; so i was surprised when you said you were going to see it.

You know it occurrs to me we have a lot of three-initialed people here. I'm curious what everyone's middle letter stands for. Mine is Michael, after my father, though he had Americanized his name from the original Hebrew Meyer.

Just a reminder:

UGLY BETTY is now on Friday nights. (Several friends of mine have missed the show's first two weeks of episodes because they don't link BETTY with Friday night.)

WHITE COLLAR has a new episode tonight following a new episode of MONK.

All of the usual Friday suspects (MEDIUM, GHOST WHISPERER, LAW & ORDER) are on tonight with new episodes.

Does that mean that NUM3ERS is not new tonight?

Carlos. -Which, I believe is from my mother's side of the family in some way or another.

When I was in grade school, my mom preferred that I sign my name as "J. Carlos" since there were "too many Jose's", and that "Jose" made me seem "Spanish". -And "Carlos" is less Spanish? I still remember never really knowing how to fill out those standardized test forms - the ones with all the circle. -Was my first name "J." or was it "J. Carlos"? I finally rebelled sometime in 4th or 5th grade, and started signing my name as "Jose". Although, "Jojo" has always been my "home name" since my Dad is also "Jose" - but we have a different middle name, so I'm not a "Jr.".

Keith is also a Michael, named for his grand uncle Moisha.

I didn't no like Parade - I hated it a decade ago. I still don't love it, but this production at least makes a much better case for the show and score.

Had a lovelier than lovely luncheon with Mr. Jason Graae, and Cason is here and we've almost finished addressing a huge number of packages, then he'll stick the postage on them and that will be done. Then we're going to put Brent up on amazon and CD Baby and in due course, iTunes.

When I went through my Confirmation in the third grade, I took on the adopted name of Patrick. I sort of misunderstood the purpose of the name and began to insert it into my full name, calling myself Daniel John Patrick. That seemed to be a lot for my schoolmates to wrap their mouths around, so I shortened it to Daniel J. P. I signed all my school work and any other documents that way up until I was in my late 20s. I stopped doing it when someone advised that it probably turned off potential employers.

But as pretentious as it was, it was generally a good conversation starter. And I liked it when friends began calling me "JP" in high school and college.

See if this clip reminds you of anything

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mriWzykyewA&feature=related

Hmmmm...did Mr. Tune see that one beforehand?

But weren't the "Follies" numbers in The Will Rogers Follies based on 'previous' follies numbers? I mean, I know I had seen a "hand dance" before TWRF.

True. and I shouldn't have put it that way. One of Tommy Tune's strengths as a choreographer is taking something you might have see hundreds of times before and making it seem new and exciting (and in this case, just plain fun, too!)

DR Dan (The Man) - You were fine. However...

Oh, if I had a dollar for all the times someone said that to me...

Lately?

I've always enjoyed that clip from Will Rogers Follies. There are lots of steps in that number that aren't in the King of Jazz dance.

Enough of me now. Vibes to everyone who need them! I've been so self-centered for two days that I don't know at this point everyone who does, but I know - or think I rememebr - DRs Jose, Ginny and Dakotacelt could use some health, employment and other vibes and there's been other mention of folk in need.

Never too much of you. I could go on reading every memory you have of opening night. You should be excited and proud. I know that all of us are very proud of you.
