Reading the "Spider-Man" reviews on www.BroadwayStars.com. I love this review from something called TheCraptacular:

"It sucks.

"It sucked after the first preview and after the 30th. It will suck after its first official performance, and after its last, and on its 4,000th, which I’m sure it will play, undoubtedly to a packed house. It sucks worse than anything you’ve seen in ages, and maybe anything you’ve seen in your life. "

Not to say I only like bad reviews. I'm sorry any show received such a notice, but the writing is funny.


I think this is hilarious. I have no idea if it is true.

That's the worst review I've ever seen.

Maybe "Spiderman bites" would be a better review?

In 1983, I worked on a fantastic concert of ONE TOUCH OF VENUS for the New Amsterdam Theatre Co,, produced by the late wonderful Bill Tynes. Paula Laurence, who played the comedy lead role of Molly, played the role again, and she was very funny ("If anyone needs me, I'll be down at the corner having my tongue torn out."). Paige O'Hara, whose then-husband had an option on the show for a revival, was a Venus much like Mary Martin, Leroy Reams was the barber and object of her affection Rodney Hatch, Ron Raines was the art collector Savory Whitelaw, Susan Lucci was the bitchy fiancee and Peggy Cass was her mother. It was quite good and very very funny. Encores! did it several years later with Melissa Errico as Venus, but I don't fnd the rest of the cast nearly as good. There's been a complete recordng of the show with Errico under construction from John Yap for around ten years now, and I dount it will ever be released.

John McGlinn did a complete performance with Paige O'Hara and Kim Criswell as Molly for the BBC radio series of complete musicals and I have the whole performance on CD if anyone would like a copy.

Larry, I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but...I LOVE KIM CRISWELL!!  And I'd LOVE a copy of the recording (if you haven't already sent one to me and I've forgotten that you have).

And speaking of Kim Criswell...about an hour ago, I just received "Off-Broadway's Original Speakeasy Musical," Broadway Scandals of 1928, with the one and only Kim Criswell!  It co-stars and has book and lyrics by Walter Willison!  I'll listen to it today. :D

The male and female in the first photo were mating yesterday, so we planted several more milkweed plants with fresh new growth for her to lay eggs on.

So they made it through the cold snap, whew!   Did the milk weed survive too?

Oof.  Early to work.  Just stopped for a break.

Almost done with an annual report.

Love Weill.

No lists, though.

I wanted to take the whole day off, but I had appointments scheduled. Of course everyone who was scheduled today either rescheduled or cancelled.  It happens when it's this cold out

DR Elmore - Charlotte is living disproof of the adage that went around Ann Arbor 40 years ago:  9 out of 10 Big Ten coeds are pretty and the tenth one goes to Michigan.  Thank you for sharing her lovely photo!

Well, she has seen three -- out of how many we don't know. They were not all tagged. All the desert milkweed survived just fine, but it didn't have any new growth. I had some in pots that had new growth, so we planted those. The tiny caterpillars need the new growth to chew on.

I have to say, those few days of cold were enough for me. It is 70 at the moment, and it feels so good.

My morning went so well, and everything this afternoon, outside of my visit with Skip Kennon, has been a carload of crap. I hate being financially dependent on working for asses. If I want to do that, I'll go back to Drama Book shop, Barnes & Noble, someplace where you're paid on a schedule and not on some idiot's whim.
