DR FJL, I'm happy that you think Eric Schaeffer is the greatest thing since sliced bread and that he's provided you with many happy viewing hours. I still think he's scum.

I can recall a time when Susan Shulman was considered s talent, too!

I am off to a Program Committee Meeting and then a run-thru with tech....whew!

We shall see.

The list they keep giving us has shows that I have OBJECTED to for years and years and they stay on the list.  This show or that show that I like gets taken off because someone in the grocery store told the Chairperson they didn't like the show.....

SO - this is the last year of my three year term.....so they can do whatever they want next year.  Everything I like is NEVER even considered - since I don't know anything.....and with the poor ensemble we have in THE MUSIC MAN - you would think they would realize that we can't do THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE or BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.....but someone wants them....so one or the other or BOTH will likely show up for 2012.

I like working in the box office.

DR JRand, not that I don't agree with you, because I do... however, don't you think you would get a better turn out for an ensemble for newer shows like Millie and Beast?  People tend to flock to the newer shows and good people tend to want to be in the ensemble because it's a new show to them.  If it's an issue of space, tech constraints, etc... I understand that too.  BatB is a HUGE technical undertaking where Millie just requires fabulous dancing. But they are newer shows and people want to do them.

OMG - Susan Shulman's Sunset Blvd tour was horrendous.  The things she let Petula Clark get away with and the "spoke" dialogue that was suppose to be sung... oy and vey.

For the second time in a week a title I wanted to license has JUST been licensed by this Spanish label (for whom I wrote some liner notes for one of their first releases - sorry I did that now) - very annoying and I'm sure he's just going to keep going through the MGM list until he locks up everything that Intrada or us haven't locked up.  The thing about the title today is that there are no elements but I'd figured out how to do it - he obviously figured out the same thing, only he won't do it as well because he doesn't have my mastering guy.

Not to mention he doesn't have the esteemed bk.

The singers are learning fast and a lot of the music is difficult, but the new arrangements I've written in the past two weeks sound quite wonderful. Tomorrow, it will sound better.

Good morning, all!I planned to sleep until 7am, but I was wide awake at 5:50 and out of bed by 6:10.I had a ferocious dream that John McGlinn had reyurned and was creating hell about my perversion of his work, on BABES IN TOYLAND and EILEEN, and my last memory of this dream is that we were in an office where I told him his research was inept and incomplete and much of his scholarship was fraud. Well, it's true!

So, this morning I will pay a few bills, run over to the bank for some cash, and go to the first meeting of this Appalachian holiday piece. Actors are coming and going all week for rehearsals and auditions, so we're hoping to get the bulk of the vocal parts taught today and tomorrow. The cast is as follows:
  Erica Aubrey
  Mimi Bessette
  Jarrod Emick
  Julie Foldesi
  Michael Hicks
  Ben Hope
  Ian Lowe
  David Lutken
  Deb Lyons
  Steve McIntyre
  Jennafer Newberry
  Leenya Rideout

I am very excited about this!


This is really exciting elmore.  I am thrilled for you.

I did not go to work today.  My knee was still swollen and I felt very unsteady on my feet.

Today is a holiday, Victoria Day.

And for some reason there is a newspaper today. It said no Canada Post strike Tues, Wed, Thurs at least. So that is good. I hate mail strikes.


Do you not usually have newspapers on holidays, Jennifer?

Yes, the news out of Joplin is horrendous.

Having heard it, however, the little wheels in my head started spinning and I have been trying to remember which TV comedy character always talked about Joplin, MO.   

Was it Bob Cummings on "Love That Bob"?

That would be correct.

I don't see where I said that he's the greatest thing since sliced bread, just that I think he's very reliable as a provider of good solid entertainment.  But do you mean "scum" as a person

TOD - One of my former co-workers, who has since also retired, took frequent extended periods of time off.  She alternated between cruises and facelifts.


Did she eventually snag a rich husband?

As a person? Pooey!

As a director? He bombed out wth BIG, because i persomally believe he couldn't develop a photo, much less a show. if he had in instruction book in his hands.

LOL, DR TCB, I think her desired outcome was the opposite!  She already had a husband and she told me once that she could hardly stand to be in his company...

Thanks, Jane.  I have been having some rather serious back problems during the last few weeks.  Friday night, I got out of bed to use the toilette.  I moved wrong giving me a terrible pain down my back that caused my legs to buckle.  Fortunately, only Nurse Nicky got to see me sprawled out on the bedroom floor.

That is horrible, BK.  Have you considered contacting the head of that label?

THAT IS TERRIBLE!  Is she cruising with friends or her husband?  those staterooms are very small if you don't like your roommate, but then it is somewhat easy to lose someone on a ship ;).
