Well, you've read the notes, the notes were mostly written from home sweet home, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home sweet home.

[bk]

And the word of the day is: RECTILINEAR!

[FJL]

First post after BK!

[Ben]

Morning all.

That is all.

[Ben]

Barnum, did you see this news story about an Indian actor who has been disowned by his family for playing Gay in Dunno Y ... Na Jaane Kyun?

It's a short article but you might know the actor. There is a picture in the article as well.

Actor Disowned

[Ben]

Thanks for the offer Larry. If I had known I wanted it and knew you had a copy I would have asked but I never think of it until I hear a clip (they play it often on many of my BBC radio shows).

Now I have 3 Judi Dench musicals. Cabaret, The Good Companions and Night Music (thanks to a certain someone here on the site).

Good morning, all!

I just had a shock: James Stovall, one of the cast of FINIAN'S RAINBOW, has died. He was a wonderful man, and his death saddens me. I'm grateful to Sara Jean Ford for letting me know.

I have to run down to Toyland this morning, look for some documents and get to the post office. I may stop in to the NYPL on my way back. Hopefully, it will not be an eventful day.

I've been out of town for long periods on several jobs, usually between 4-6 weeks, in such exotic locations as East Haddam, CT (Goodspeed), Troy, NY (NY State Theatre Institute), and London (June and September, 2001, recording).

It's raining in Manhattan.

[Ben]

I've been away for months at a time for various road tours and I also spent 3 1/2 months in Europe in 1988

[Ben]

Time was spent in Ireland, England, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

[Ben]

And a good time was had by all during that sojurn

[Kerry]

Good Morning.  Happy rainy day in Manhattan.  Needless to say (but I shall say it anyway), it is not raining in Phoenix.

TOD:

About five years ago, I took a prolonged summer vacation (mostly because I was pretty much pissed off with my place of work at the time.)  I spent a week at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck NY, a week in NYC (seeing several shows), followed by a week at the shore.  It was an incredibly relaxinig experience.

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Rectilinear? Isn't that what you see a proctologist for?

[Dan (the Man)]

When I was home last week, I never got around to looking for my portable CD player so I never listened to SUGAR.  I am now loading both discs onto my iPod...

[John G.]

Here's a great clip from the original "Follies" of "You're Gonna Love Tomorrow" and "Love Will See Us Through":

Wonderful to see the original staging. To me, the number now feels even more of a tribute to Irving Berlin than ever before.

"Good Companions" is one of all-time faves. And her Elizabeth Trent is wonderful. The way she sings "Always Darkest Just Before the Dawn" is great. Johnny Mercer at his best. And I think Andre Previn at his best, too.

[John G.]

TOD: I spent a summer in Spain during high school trying to learn the language. If that doesn't count, since it was study program, then probably the 2 1/2 weeks I spent in Brazil during Carnaval. That was about 15 years ago and it was spectacular.

She doesn't have a great voice, but she can get more out of a song than most.

I wonder how she would be as Mrs. Lovitt or as Dolly Levi?

Sorry to hear that. He was wonderful on the recording as the Preacher during "That Great Come and Get It Day."

Or in "Dear World."

I did a "Get Artwork" in iTunes for the 1st SUGAR disc and this is what came up:

I'm up, I've announced.  Facebook was very difficult - every time I typed the blurb and did the web address for Kritzerland, it wasn't current so I couldn't include the Sadismo cover - very annoying.  It shows up fine on the site and I've never had this problem before and I don't know what to do about it - I may redo it later and see if I can get the proper cover up.

Hello from Boltbus!  I'm sorry I haven't posted since the terrific get-together/reading of the other night. 

I was online briefly Saturday morning and was going to post but I lost my connection.

I tried again yesterday and no luck!

[KevinH]

Bruce, thanks so much for treating the hainsies/kimlets to dinner at Joe Allen!  I had a wonderful time.

It was great meeting Vixmom, Vixter, FJL, Julie and Jose for the first time.   And I was so glad to see Ben, Anthony and elmore again!

[KevinH]

On Saturday, I met two of my fellow Streisand fan(atic) friends in Garrison, NY, where some of Hello, Dolly! was filmed.  "Vandergelder's Store" is still on the windows of the building featured in the movie.

My friends had been to Schenectady and other locations where The Way We Were was filmed.  They were excited that they found the location where a library scene was filmed.  (They're hard-core fans!)

[KevinH]

Yesterday was Broadway Flea Market day!  I look forward to it every year!  I had my picture taken with Lorna Luft in the photo booth (it costs $10-the proceeds go to BroadwayCares/Equity Fights Aids).  She was very pleasant and even asked the photographer to take another photo because she thought she had blinked.

They had some good deals on CD's.  I got Kelli O'Hara's and another one of Christmas songs sung by Broadway casts.

[Elan]

Good morning, all! The Jewish holidays have kept me away for the last four days: hope I didn't miss too much...

TOD: year studying in Israel post-high-school

[KevinH]

I also went to the Autograph Table and got signatures of Phyllis Newman, Kathleen Chalfant, Mario Cantone, Julie Murney, Donna Murphy, and the aforementioned Kelli O'Hara.   She autographed two prints of a photo of my friend and I.   I met him in NYC in Feb. 2009.   We went to see South Pacific on the day he arrived.  We both thought it was brilliant and even tried to get tickets to see it a few days later, but it was sold out.
