I am sure you have the experience.
Good morning, all! I guess we are a hit, and hopefully our ticket sales will zoom. The mood at the party was that with our reviews there will definitely be a new recording very soon.So, to the rest of my day after I signed off on HHW around 4:15: I arrived at the theatre with my packages around 5:10, and I went looking for Rob Berman, the musical director, to give him his gift as well as a copy of the new GOLDEN APPLE score that had fortuitously arrived in the mail yesterday. Rob took me down to the stage manager's office where there was a pile of gifts waiting for me. I set director Warren's gift on his pile of CDs, found Joshie and gave him his, and sat in on Warren's last notes to the cast. They were funny, sentimental, and very sweet. He told us he was the fifth director Encores! approached, and I can only say thank you, God, Jesus, Buddah, whoever, because any of those earlier four could have kiled this production. David Richenthal, our major producer wth Jack Viertel of Encores!, also spoke; he's been trying to get FINIAN'S RAINBOW into the works for several years. Then, at 6:00 we had the gypsy robe ceremony, which takes place on the stage. Since I'm an idiot, I coldn't tell you all the detals or exactly when the thing began around 1950 - I know CALL ME MADAM was either the first or second show to begin the tradition - or some of the order of the ceremony. At its end, the winner whose name I forget ran three times around the circle of guests in conter clockwise motion to touch everyone for luck. It was, like all logdge initiations, both a little silly and very moving.Then the show, which played to a filled house of audience, family and friends of the cast, and it was quite an event, with lots of applause and three numbers bringing the show to a halt with big cheers and yells: "If This Isn't Love," and the two comedy numbers "Necessity" and "The Begat," the two numbers, incidentally, that were my fovorites when I first heard the entire 1960 cast recording. Everyone was really in topnotch form last night and the show played really solidly. the orchestra sounded fantastic, and Chris Fitzgerald's "When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love" was a great 11 o-clock number. nly last night it was a great 10 o'clock number.I have to run to physiical therapy, so I will tell about the party when I return.
My "A" stands for Allan - my mother's father's first name. Like Jose, different from my father's middle name, so I'm not a Jr. Although I am the seventh generation in my family to have the same first and last name. And, sadly, the last.

I don't know... $10,000.00 to cruise bathrooms in New York City? I might apply.

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.

Yesterday the minister's wife came to play, and this is what I saw:
DR ELMORE - Mr Warren Carlyle was wearing a very nifty TIE last night....and everyone looks so nice dressed up at the party!There's a link on the www.broadwayworld.com page to party pics....but they must have stayed out of the room you were in. Couldn't you follow the camera flashes? And did Rachel Dretch look as bad in person as she does in the pictures?
My given middle name is Ruth, but now I use my maiden name - Ellis - as my middle name.
DR Laura do you have more kitten photos?
I love the photo of Warren and the kids in the show.
