Good morning.

Thanks for all the links, Jose.

Um... were those men or women in the Priscilla clip? Or both?

KSL, which was the CBS affiliate in SLC when I was growing up but which has since become the NBC affiliate, and which is owned by the Mormon Church, has just announced they will not be broadcasting NBC's new series THE PLAYBOY CLUB this fall. Strangely, they are still fully committed to broadcasting SMASH.

And...

The dishes are washed, and my bags are packed. And now it's time to head down to 33rd & 7th to catch the 3:00 Bolt Bus down to Union Station.

But first...

DR Ron Pulliam - Sounds like you had a very nice weekend. -I forget if you've mentioned it already, but... -Are you planning on seeing Tales of the City at ART?

DR Druxy mentioned those Broadway's Lost Treasures dvds and I always wondered if the rumor was true that the initial shipments of Volume One (supposedly recalled) actually did contain Holliday's "And I'm Not Telling You" and "Turkey Lurkey Time".

It was true. "And I Am Telling You" was one of the segments that did not show up on some of the initial PBS broadcasts - thus making it good "pledge bait". Then the Bennett Estate stepped in...

Jennifer: I did think the numbers were well chosen, which is not always the case - and they were shown complete, which is not always the case. That doesn't mean I liked all the numbers and that is what I wrote about. I didn't knock all of them - I liked The Scottsboro Boys a LOT and it was as good as many of the classic numbers that have been presented on the Tonys over the years. It's all one person's opinion - some like, some don't.

As to past broadcasts - none of them are perfect, but many contain astonishing moments. Prior to last night, I remember few astonishing moments in the last decade - I'm sure there may have been one or two but I don't remember what they might have been.

I could not believe what Frances McDormand was wearing at the Tonys last night. Does anyone know why she came in no make-up, a casual dress and a jean jacket? I was stunned.

Her speech was touching. And I totally disagree with BK re: the girl who won for Best Featured Actress in a musical. I found her speech to be heartfelt. And those are the kind of speeches i love.

That's just Frances McDormand. Very down to earth. Always down to earth.

I found it sort of embarrassing. A jean jacket??

Thanks to DR JOHN G and DR ELMORE for the photos.

Oh yes DR DtM - I like that idea for a play very much.....and no one could play the son except Mark Rylance...NO ONE....

elmore3003 · « **Reply #113 on:** June 13, 2011, 11:37:20 AM »

DR JRand60, if you want to catch Mark Rylance's bravest (or stupidest) moment on film, watch his 2001 film INTIMACY.

TCB · « **Reply #114 on:** June 13, 2011, 11:38:44 AM »

BK, in all fairness to Daniel Radcliffe, I don't think you can hold it against him that he was cast as Harry Potter. And he seems to be trying to pay his dues in the business. He did EQUUS both in the West End and on Broadway, before he ever took the stage in HOW TO SUCCEED. He got some very nice reviews for EQUUS, and my friends who saw it, thought he was terrific. Also, if I am going to shell out $100.00 to see one of my lesser favorite musicals; I would certainly prefer to see Mr Radcliffe than Matthew Broderick.

I know that this is an old joke, but...you think that HOW TO SUCCEED is lesser Loesser?

I saw it once (Blood Brothers), and as predicted, my head exploded. I will say that the friend who was with me LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT and cried and cried. I cried also, but not for the same reasons.

One friend of mine loved the Blood Brothers CD (I forget which version) and another hated the CD. In 1993, they went to NYC with a group and they both went to see Blood Brothers. The one who loved the CD hated the show and the one who hated the CD loved the show.

Go figure.

Well, I guess I could have stayed up and watched the Tonys. I woke up around eleven vomiting on the ground. Well actually in the toilet, but you get the idea. So after getting my three hours in running back and forth, I called in ill.

Time to head out.

Mr Wiener is all over the news again this morning. His career has crashed and burned almost as quickly as the Hindenberg.

Speaking of screwed up men, where was our DR MBarnum last night? Was he too busy sexting messages to various Tony Awards performers and winners? I knew that lube job this week would get him all worked up and put his panties in a bunch.

He was still sitting by the telephone, hoping that Robert Preston would call him for a date.

If I had the money, I'd send you too the Mayo Clinic! You are overdue for your 400,000 mile checkup.
