Did you see the rather odd video BlueGobo had of Channing doing her two big "GPB" songs on some variety show from the past? She's great.

And speaking of "GPB," BlueGobo also has a version of "Glitter and Be Gay" staged in keeping with Marilyn's interpretation of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend."

Last night I watched Hitchcock's silent film version of Noel Coward's "Easy Virtue." I don't think he got it. The movie wasn't funny. It was little more than the battle between the mother and the flapper. In many ways, the remake with Jessica Alba was more faithful to the source.

That's from Robert Carsen's staging of CANDIDE for Paris and the English National Opera.

I meet with our CPA today to discuss taxes and then will be visiting the hospital to deal with my heart attack.

The mild weather which was forecast has finally arrived. It's like a spring day; warm and sunny. I feel I can come out of hibernation!

I just read that there will be no Best Song performances this year. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Best Song presentations had to be nixed so that they had time for a montage of Whitney Houston film.

This will make Anthony happy. He loves the show.

I think it is one of the best shows ever!!!! I rate it up there with DOC MARTIN, maybe even higher. As much as I like DOWNTON I think it isn't nearly as good as the other two shows.

Anthony transferred from cassette to CD for me this delightdul recording from the late great Caedmon Records. I've been laughing myself silly for the past hour. What a great book!

Just read on Castrecl that Live From Lincoln Center will broadcast the New York Philharmonic's upcoming CAROUSEL. Please, please, please don't tell me that Lonny Price is directing.

Please.

I'm kidding but who knows? If the State of New Jersey can lower the flags to half mast for her...

Thinking that tomorrow I may be receiving more DEAREST ENEMY scores, I decided to go ahead and do the laundry, which is now in the dryers. I've run all of my errands, made the bank deposit, and bought some supplies at the pharmacy, so I can work on an Act Two score for ROBERTA, No 20 "Dance Scene." That will take the remainder of the day, perhaps most of tomorrow as well. It's a long number to reconstruct from parts.

DR Jrand it is available through NetFlix. You need to watch it beginning with the first episode. The DVD's have lots of extras about the making of the show. Most of the episodes are based on historical facts.

I'm going to have some fun and predict:

A Picture/Director/Technical awards sweep for "Hugo"!

Actor: George Clooney
Actress: Meryl Streep
Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer
Supporting Actress: Octavia Spencer (corrected)

He isn't. And John Doyle isn't, either. I think Debra Messing is, though.

James Brennan is directing. I don't know how he is as a director but he was wonderful in the national tours I saw of "Crazy for You" and "Me and My Girl."

But can you see it? Debra Messing IS Billy Bigelow. Wow.
