I liked BLOOD BROTHERS at the Music Box, my favorite NYC theatre - that and the Shubert.....but then I was seeing David Cassidy, Shaun Cassidy AND Petula Clark.....so I probably would have enjoyed it had they been appearing in "Bertha the Beautiful Typewriter Girl."

I am back from a delightful lunch with our niece Lauren. We'd planned this lunch to talk about the bridal shower she's hosting for Mary Linda later in the summer, but we also were able to celebrate the notice she received today informing her that she'd made the Dean's List during her recently-completed semester at Miami University. We are so proud of her!

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.

He's playing on Facebook today. I think he's posting deep thoughts from the Dalai Lama or swooning over Bollywood; I don't see much change in his expression.

I also enjoyed the Tony party last night. It would be nice if everybody could see the broadcast at the same time, but we managed. Now I have some curiosity about the Beacon - how have I managed not even to notice it on my many bus and cab rides along that stretch of Broadway?

DR Ginny - The Beacon is at 74th and Broadway. And, actually, it can just look like a movie theater - which it was. -It does have some ornate touches on it's facade, but most of the real beauty of the theater is on the inside. It underwent a multi-month, multi-million dollar renovation back in 2009.

Here's a brief HISTORY of the Theatre.

And here are some pictures of The Beacon BEFORE and AFTER the theatre.

What a gorgeous theater.

Another Monday morning without a Tony win for me. And I was sure I would get one this year. Oh well.

I voted for you! Best Mayor Shinn I've seen in years; the actor in the Strohman revival was terrible.

That was the problem! I voted for you in the "Play" category for NEVER TOO LATE. Sorry, Jrand, it looks like we split your votes.

Oh, I thought you were commenting on the picture I posted.....never mind.

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.

~~~FEEL BETTER SOON VIBES FOR DR TCB!!~~~

TOD

And here is my rather long rant but I believe it rings true why I don't care for the Tony awards show anymore

Tony's past glory is when they paid tributes during the show.

1) Tribute to the Gershwin from the Uris Theater which was then renamed the Gershwin
2) All the shows that played the Imperial theater
3) The year Sondheim, Herman and Kander/Ebb were nominated and the evening was filled with excerpts from their shows
4) Another year Cy Coleman, Jule Styne and Lloyd Webber. At the end the composers came out and number from a future show were performed. Don't remember what Lloyd Webber did, but Coleman did Hey You In The Back Row....

Didn't Patti LuPone sing that one?

I was looking at the category "Opera Scores" on eBay; someone is selling a vocal score for Wagner's opera Tanhoyzer. I'm surprised he didn't offer it as an opry score.

I missed both the Tonys and the HHW bash last night.

I got involved working on a project that I have been very lax in moving forward on, and I didn't want to stop. Normally when I begin working on this, or other projects I need to be working on, I get distracted by ther inerweb or the television machine. This time I just couldn't let that happen.

And if you should not hear or see much of me in the future, it is only because I am actully getting down to seriously working on these things.

MBarnum · « **Reply #139 on:** June 13, 2011, 12:35:39 PM »

That said, I do always enjoy the Tonys. I only began watching them after joining up with HHW, and I have never found a thing to complain about with regards to the program...same goes with the Emmys and the Oscars.

Oh, wait...one complaint about all 3 (especially the Oscars) is that they have begun, over the last several years, to do a pretty poor job on the "in memorium." The Oscars, at least, used to show many more dead people then they do now. I mean, people I knew were even included back some years ago, rather then just the "best knowns."

MBarnum · « **Reply #141 on:** June 13, 2011, 12:36:24 PM »

And Elmore, I can't believe you would even think that I would be sexting Broadway players...I mean, I don't even know how to sext.

MBarnum · « **Reply #142 on:** June 13, 2011, 12:37:05 PM »

JRand, if I could win the lottery and quit my job I might be able to get some of these projects done...in between naps, of course.

MBarnum · « **Reply #143 on:** June 13, 2011, 12:38:31 PM »

Since I will be going to NYC in April, I should have watched the Tonys so that I could see what might be running at that time.

Whatever, I do hope there are some fun plays/musicals to see when I get there.

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".

And Florence Henderson's Fanny.

I understand Greg Brady got to see a lot of that!

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

I was thinking of Jiffy Lube.

They show dead people. Didn't you see Ernest Borgnine last year?
