Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I slept in a bit today too. I first got up at 8:15. And then again at 10:15. Ah, well.

And...

Since I'm leaving bright and early Friday morning for San Diego, I need to get some of my pre-trip stuff done today - especially since I have understudy rehearsal today and tomorrow in addition to the shows in the evening. Thankfully, one of the cast members is letting me crash at his place tomorrow night so that my trek to BWI will only take 30 minutes instead of a possible 60-90 minutes on Friday morning.

I've been missing all the showbiz goings-on on this here website.

On the other hand, I've learned that it's not impossible to change bed sheets while someone is still in the bed.

I have to say that I agree with Mr. Sondheim 100%.

*And even though I know he worked with Lin-Manuel Miranda on the Spanish lyrics for the recent Broadway revival of West Side Story, I would love to know what he thought of the musical bastardizations changes in that production.

And now I need to get ready for today's understudy rehearsal. -I believe - barring any more unexpected cast changes - this will be one of the last "full" understudy rehearsals. The same actors who were understudies last fall are understudying this summer too, so... they know the show. ;)

I am back from a lovely walk; it's warm outside but not really unpleasant today. The rains seem to have cooled things down.

This will dismay that dreaful E&T Mr Farrow of Manchester; I said the same things about the last Trevor Nunn adapration in the West End, not as radical a revision, but attempting to make the piece a musical and transposing roles and using a tiny orchestra. Mr Farrow was apoplectic and quite ugly about my protests to what was being done. He sure likes to feel superior.

Frankly, I like BK's idea better.

A couple of years ago, when there was some minor controversy about doing ANNIE with an African-American Annie, he suggested that, instead, they do PORGY AND BESS with an all white cast.

You have no idea how close the all-white Porgy and Bess came to being a reality - more I cannot say at this time.
