Well, you've read the notes, the notes were advanced and smelled like a bean burrito, and now it is time for you to post until the advanced cows come home.

A question for BK...can you give any hints about what show will be your next release?  Maybe what decade it's from?

Thanks for the birthday wishes!  It's the big 3-1 & I have the birthday blues. Never happened before! 
You all can laugh at that because I'm so young & theoretically shouldn't have them, but I do. :(

On the bright side, I'm heading to Yosemite to spend the day & then watch the meteor showers from Glacier Point.

DR BK

It's a shame that the older shows even those from the 60's need to be changed. A show as good as PP was why change it? Why interpolate two songs for the star of the show to give them more to do. At least the director didn't change Sheldrake to JJ Biggley and the company to World Wide Wicket. Also from to make these changes just because a show that has a tenth of  the amount viewers of a low rated network show is "popular" is no reason to do it. I have never seen that show so I won't see the connection. The musical may have based on a early 60's movie, the show is a product of the late 60's.

The original cast albums, NYC & London cast album and various video clips of the original show available will be show are all that I need.

Here is Turkey Lurkey Time with the original Broadway Cast

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EktVzsYjMJk

and clips from the Broadway revival with choreography that can't match Bennett's originality. This choreography takes the title literally, uses moves that are so 2000's and a setting that so grandiose that you forget it is supposed to be a simply office party.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAqsdWOhJ_Y

and this scene from the film Camp is far more exciting than the revival. At least it gets into the spirit of the original production and more interesting because they are teenagers doing it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN692nmEQiw

and of course

From the Bacharach To The Future BC/EFA benefit - Choreography by Michael Bennett, recreated by Adam Cates. Show was directed by Bruce Kimmel and conducted by Alex Rybeck.

No grandoise set and limited stage space is far better than the revival

Good morning, all! I have to go in and deal with some questions on the McGlinnventory this morning. Afterthat I shall walk over to Toyland for a brief sojourn before heading back uptown.

I believe at some point in the afternoon Mr Ron Raines will show up to return some CDs he's downloaded into his iTunes and take a few more. I will spend the afternoon rethinking "My Heart Is So Full Of you" for a string quintet. For the 1993 recording, we only had one cello, one viola and one violin, so I made the number a chamber quintet of Piano, violin, viola, cello and bass. I'm going to revise the parts, add a 2nd Violin and harp so that it can be played by a full string section. The original parts have been used by Liz in concert since 1993, and after 17 years, I've found rewritten notes, dictated (I suspect) by conductors who think they know more than I about what I wanted, a few of my own errors, and, since the Indianapolis Symphony is putting everything into Finale, this is the time to correct an orchestral arrangement of the number.

And that's my day.

I'm still trying to figure out the motivation for "A House is not a Home" being sung in this revival.  The lyrics make no sense whatsoever for the character of Fran.  Sheldrake's "Wanting Things" makes more sense for Fran, as we really don't need to have Sheldrake being a likeable character, which is what his song tries to make him. . .

Wednesday morning greetings!  I managed to sleep 'til a normal time for me and feel much better.  Maybe that means I'll be able to delay today's nap until mid-afternoon.

Thanks for the links DR MICHAEL S......I hadn't seen any clips from the current resurrection, and my GOODNESS it is bad, isn't it?
And tempo seems so S L O W!!!!

How do these directors get these jobs?  Why do people keep "rethinking" hits?  Why not rethink a show that didn't work the first time around?  Those are the shows to 'improve"!
