There was indeed much appreciation online for Marc Bruni's Fanny.

People enjoyed his Encores show as well. 

Noel - Seriously, a wonderful show.  Is he still working with you?

More travel vibes.

ROOM 222 is discussed in said book a few times.

Room 222 used to be my favorite show.  I think I could still play the theme on the piano...well not right now, I don't have a piano in my office

Yes.  And, on a totally different project, with my Dear Wife as well.

Fanny, I thought, was the best of all the Encores shows I've seen.  It illuminated what my parents loved in 1954 - a tempestuously romantic musical, with high stakes situations in every scene.  And most of the audience had never seen it, unlike, say, Bells Are Ringing, so it was just the sort of thing Encores ought to be doing.  I take far too much pride in suggesting Marc consider it.

Oh, Fred, you stubborn, splendid, adorable fool.  We bought a new house--who said anything about being able to afford it?   ;D

I will be serious about it: 

FANNY at Encores was really, in all respects, the essence of what anyone reasonable would ever have wanted a company like Encores to do:  present a show we surely would never have seen get a full-scale commercial Broadway revival in our lifetimes, and do it in such an entertaining fashion.

I left BK's autobiography and it's special edition CD at home, so I don't have the CD to listen to. :(

But Kristina has finally arrived from England!! ;D Even with shipping, it was less expensive to get it from Amazon.co.uk than to get it from Amazon.com.

Well, about an hour ago, I had almost hit "purchase" on a 2:15 flight from newark to Seattle, which would have gotten to Seattle at 5:30 and was a very reasonable price, even an aisle seat.  Felt that something mad like a quick whirlwind trip would help relieve the tax work issues that have (after the killing work of tax season) arisen from the firm's merger - which I'll not write about here EVER, because there may be "issues" - to say the least.  :) 

Just went back to the Continental site, really planning to do it, leave in 5 minutes, but now my aisle seat is gone - and not for anything will I fly in a middle seat from Newark to Seattle.

It felt good that I could have done it.  probably much better that I didn't

But that would've been so cool if you had, Fred! :D

I'm here in Olympia - flight was quick and fun, and hotel is adequate for an evening.  I had to change rooms because the Internet was not working in the other room.  But here, it's working fine.
