So far, I've been really lucky and have managed to avoid ever seeing LOST HORIZON (the musical)

TOD:
I'm not really into musicals but two film musicals which I did enjoy, and which I believe were big flops, were PAINT YOUR WAGON and MAN OF LA MANCHA.

DR Michael Barnum

Regarding your actress from the 50's

Is she a member of SAG or any other union? They might have some kind of program.
There's The Motion Picture Home (I believe that's the name)
There also must be some kind of governmental at the state or federal level.

Also she might want to consider making her situation know I am sure there that someone kind soul might be able to help her out. I've seen this happen in the past. She might be able to get some work and get some needed insurance and other benefits.

John G. · « **Reply #10 on:** October 13, 2011, 04:44:34 AM »

TOD: I could write endlessly on flop musicals I enjoy. Stage shows that come to mind:
Make a Wish (entire score)
The Nervous Set (The Ballad of the Sad Young Men, Fun Life)
Breakfast at Tiffany's (Good Girls Go to Heaven)
Prettybelle (almost entire score)
The Human Comedy
Dance a Little Closer (Dance a Little Closer, Never Want to See You Again, Anyone Who Loves, There's Always One You Can't Forget)
Many of the songs that came from Unsung Musicals, especially the pieces from Welcome to the Club

On film:
At Long Last Love and all that Cole Porter

FJL, the pills are a double dose of what I was on before the insulin. Apparently, the oral insulin doesn't really work, so it's not being prescribed too much. (Or perhaps there are not enough pharmaceutical reps pushing the oral insulin, but that's another matter.)

Paint Your Wagon

Hello, Dolly!

and perhaps my top guilty pleasure: Can't Stop The Music

I also would like to see if ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER also restored to its original length, but I won't hold my breath as I believe La Streisand owns the rights to the footage

Good morning, all! I was ready to head to the McGlinnventory, but our paralegal Geri sent me an email at 6:50am saying their power was out and she needed to stay in Connecticut this morning. So, I will work on my projects for the Encores! Gala today, maybe do some work on THE RED MILL as well.

Yesterday I had a great lunch with my beloved Rob Berman, and much was discussed and much was laughed at. I gave him my impressions of the original Broadway MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG (saw 4th preview and final performance), and we talked about what Encores! is doing with the material. Before lunch, I had a nice meeting with Joshie at the Encores! office to look over his reduction of Saint-Saens' Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix for the Encores! Gala in a couple of weeks. After that we had a meeting with Rob and Ben Whitely, who will direct the chorus for the gala. I've got a little bit of work to help him with on the gala: harp parts for a couple of items and a chunk of the Finale. He's promised to get me the choral arrangement in the next couple of days. Today I'll write harp parts.

DR MBarnum, I'm sorry to hear about your destitute friend, but I'm more sorry to hear about Laurie. She's a good lady.

I just got one of my holy grail albums on CD and I've put it on my office computer. I will take it home at lunchtime and add it to the shelf.

It's Sarah Vaughan Live in Tokyo (or Japan if you have the LP). I had the record and cassette for years and always wished it would be released on CD. I love this album and I love SV. I could listen to Bye, Bye Blackbird over and over again. It's the complete recording. The LP and the cassette both had things cut off due to time constraints. It was 1973 after all. Now I have the whole glorious thing in stereo!

Sarah Vaughan Live in Tokyo

I'm going to listen now.

Bye (Bye Blackbird)

I am torn about the musical version of LOST HORIZON. I enjoy the original film and book. I just don't like the songs.....and it could be the terrible choreography - the mediocre singer - OR the pedestrian direction......put them together and I find it hard to sit through.

It's fine until the first song.....and then.....

Maybe I will wait and buy a used copy sometime.

Favorite flop musicals?

Difficult question.

I really like LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS and SWEET CHARITY.

I enjoy the Gene Kelly number in the otherwise forgettable XANADU.

I think that Sophia Loren was quite good in the problematic MAN OF LA MANCHA. Unfortunately, Peter O'Toole couldn't sing.

Howard Keel, who did the play many times, said that, in the movie, Cervates should have been played by Christopher Lee.

I'm up, I've shaved, and will shower in a few minutes, then wait for the helper (different helper on the shoots, since the normal helper has been part of the ensemble), after which we'll be on our way to Alet and Andy Taylor's home environment.
