Speaking of DARK SHADOWS, this week I've picked up another of the many unread books from my home library and this week's selection is an autobiography of Grayson Hall.



It's a badly written book about a very disagreeable woman who probably got the career she deserved.

I love reading about show biz!

Didn't even know there WAS such a book.

I loved Grayson! She was a neat lady. She was a friend of my friend Leonora Hayes.

As for Andrea Marcovicci - There's a reason she's called a "chanteuse" and "song stylist" and not a "singer". ;)

*But she really is best experienced "live and in person" rather than via recording. It really is the whole package with her.

It's a "live" CD - at the Algonquin.

BK - I'd imagine the reason Isherwood re-reviews (or Brantley re-reviews) when the Times out-of-town or off-Broadway review is responsible for the show coming in is rather complex.    But to speculate - let's say you're the NY Times folk - how does it look if the paper is responsible for a show coming in to NYC and the show then gets a bad Times review in New York (which almost always would make it flop, unless it had a pre-sale element to it).  The newspaper starts to look ridiculous in terms of its position as a hit-maker; much as anyone poo-poos it, the Times people must actually really like (even bank on) the perpetuation of that reputation.

Hmmm...

I wonder if Andrea Marcovicci and Karen Akers have ever thought of doing an album of duets?

Actually, maybe Joni Mitchell should team up with Bjork.

Hello, everyone.

A bit of angst today in the posts--JMK's brouhaha, Larry's continued noise issues. Would this be a good day to do

                                   YOUR FAVORITE EXAMPLE OF STREET JUSTICE??

You know, when the people you think need a real kick in the butt finally get it--and often from out of nowhere. My favorite street justice film is BEING JULIA, but there must be many others. Film noir is often big on revenge, but I'm not talking about killing someone--something a bit more subtle.

(BTW, I'm not having any particular anger issues, I just like to see the tables turned now and then.)

My question for ASK BK day.....when you have written a musical and it is licensed by an organization such as R/H - are you paid your royalties by the production, or is it done on a quarterly or annual basis?

We get quarterly statements.  However, we were paid an advance for the rights, so the royalties won't kick in for a while.

OIC.  Thanks.

I guess my last post wasn't exactly in keeping with the fun and silliness that we know at HHW, but is WAS a film topic.

DR JEANNE - My favorite such incident is in the book and both film versions of THE RAZOR'S EDGE.....

Isabel.....and Sophie.......

Gene Tierney & Anne Baxter......and to a somewhat lesser degree, although not much.... Catherine Hicks & Theresa Russell....

"Zubrovka.....it is like listening to music by moonlight....."

And Isabel devastates Sophie and then leaves her alone with a bottle of the liquor......how Isabel gets paid back is terrific - and would only be better if she had any understanding of why Larry does what he does......

Well, at least that's a Thursday and not a Friday. ;)

How long do you plan to take for the move? When do you want to be fully ensconced in the new manse?

DR MATTH - there was only a threat of a sing-off in the parking lot - things were smoothed over in the next couple of sentences of dialog and it never took place.....last few minutes was more singing.

J. Groff looked a little uncomfortable in the big group number....it's amazing how everyone else fits right in as a group....which they should....he may have been "acting" his part as a newbie.

For obvious reason I will be skipping GLEE next week.

I went to fox.com this morning to watch the show to get to that last number. Fox very thoughtfully allows a viewer to place the pointer at the spot in the show where he wants to begin downloading, so I didn't have to watch the entire show to get to that last number.

I enjoyed it ("Like a Prayer") though why they felt the need to bring in that church choir at the end was just a bit of overkill. Yes, Groff was definitely not given any solo moments in that number (nice to hear Kurt's soprano get some attention) and seemed to be playing almost catch-up with the choreography. We'll see if being a part of New DIrections continues to seem awkward for him.

DR MattH - The addition of the choir at the end of "Like A Prayer" may have been overkill, but it was also a tribute to the original video and recording.

Isn't she also a dancer?

I seem to recall that (wherever I saw her perform) she was in a very brief outfit and did a lot of dancing.

Well, if I'm found dead, check out the neighbor above me: I just filed a complaint with the landlord. I went back to my emails to the neighbor above me: on Feb 7, I wrote to him:  I do want to talk to you because I don't want any bad feelings between us.  He has never responded. I wrote to him on 3/01 about the falling ceiling in my bathroom; again, no response or apology, since it was his unreported loose, shaky toilet causing the problem and he was aware the toilet was unsteady. I want him dead now.
