We are off to IKEA for dinner and a little shopping - bye for now!

Swedish meatballs?

Yes, for Richard. I had fish and fabulous vegetable soup.

I hope it wasn't lutefisk.

No, it was North Atlantic Saithe with a Parmesan crust.

I am back from the reading of NORTH ATLANTIC, a 1977 musical that does to Rodgers & Hammerstein what THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X did to 50s and 60s sci fi films. There were funny moments but it suffered from too little rehearsal time. I left as soon as it was over; I am definitely coming down with something, so I'm taking a big stiff drink and going to bed.

Night!

DR TCB, in the novel OLIVER TWIST, Nancy is brutally beaten to death. Same death in the film. She's only stabbed in the musical?

Has anyone ever seen Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert? I like hearing some of their music, but I don't know if I would enjoy an entire concert.

Friends from church go every year. I think some of the members are from San Antonio, so they play here real close to Christmas. It's not my kind of music (electrified Percy Faith sans soul, to my ears), so I've never gone.

Regarding the new version of On a Clear Day with Harry Connick, Jr: the word on the Broadway forums is not good! But since it's still in previews, I guess it's too soon to judge.

According to Seth Rudetsky, Daisy Gamble is now a gay man, but still becomes Melinda in a past life. Strange!

There's no Melinda. They say for sure.

Inspired by the release of Clint Eastwood's new film J. EDGAR, I decided to do a music video of my song, "J. Edgar Hoover".

"J. Edgar Hoover" is a song from my musical-comedy, HAIL ON THE CHIEF. Book and lyrics by me, music by my son, David Druxman, with additional music and lyrics by this guy named Bruce Kimmel, who also performs this vocal.

In the play, the song is sung by a character, Frank Hughes, a veteran, ultra-right wing Secret Service agent who misses the days when Hoover ran the FBI and much of everything else in Washington.

Enjoy!

Druxy, have you heard the very funny L.A. Theaterworks recording of J. EDGAR! with Kelsey Grammer?

No.

The video is terrific, Druxy! Loved the song and BK's performance!

Fun song.

I came across a most interesting link from one of my Facebook friends. A link to a Youtube video running 41:24 (!) of a live peformance of the musical Lovely Ladies, Kind Gentlemen. If you are not familar with the show it is based on Teahouse of The August Moon that only ran 19 performances (Dec 26/70- Jan 9/71)

The video was taken on the final show.

The video has the following musical numbers from the show: One Side Of the World, This Time, Simple Word, Garden Guaracha, Call Me Back, Lovely Ladies Kind Gentlemen, then there was a scene that featured the great David Burns (who was tony nominated) that leads into the song: You've Broekn A FIne Woman's Hart and One More For the Last One. and the final 9 minutes of the show (including the bows)

The audience was laughing and enjoying what they were seeing.Kenneth Nelson (best known for The Boys In The Band) had a terrific voice. Kenneth does a curtain call speech about the last performance. He thanks everyone and makes a joke aout the musicians in the orchestra.

BK recorded SImple Words for Unsung Musicals III

When did BK record the song? And when was the show written/done?

The "other" Bruce has had a recording of this announced forever. Didn't David Burns die onstage out of town?

Yes, Mr. Burns passed during a performance of 70 Girls 70.

Back from as good a rehearsal as was possible, considering an actor wasn't there. Someone walked his track and the show went very well - I'm very close to locking my patter now. Tonight the lighting guy was supposed to start building cues but the board was wonky and he couldn't. Hopefully tomorrow night.

In even more "who knew" news, I was amazed to read in Sid Melton's obituary in Variety that his father was one of the screenwriters of the film version of GOLDEN BOY.

TOD:

Isabelle Adjani - One Deadly Summer
Leslie Caron - Fanny
Charles Boyer - Gaslight
Jacques Tati - M. Hulot’s Holiday
Stéphane Audran - The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie

When I was a kid, there used to be a movie theater down on Tacoma's skidrow (Pacific Avenue) called the Cameo. Now back then, our one and only daily newspaper had no qualms about taking advetising money from porno theaters, so the Cameo's ad always showed up to the other theaters in town from the large first run Temple and Music Box to my neighborhood Proctor Theater. Every once in a while when I was checking all of the ads for the weekend, I would see that the Cameo was no longer showing VIXEN BOSOMS, but instead was showing Jacques Tati's M. HULOT'S HOLIDAY, or some other Tati title. I assumed it was just another porno title until I got to college. I never quite understand why they switched back and forth.

DR TCB - There used to be a movie theatre in Alexandria, Virginia, that would do the same thing. Actually, it was two small theaters. One would usually run a family-friendly movie, while the one next door - and sharing the same box office window - would show more adult fare. Needless to say, their newspaper ads and listings were always a bit "varied".
