Thanks for the Pipe Dream report DR ELMORE.   I have the CD of the OBC which I have listened to once or twice.  I bought when I was working on a production of A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING and I wanted all of the R/H show cd's for the display case.  I guess I like Me & Juliet a bit more than you do....but I only know the songs on the CD.

FOR BK re: THE KILLING

I don't watch this show since we don't get AMC here.

I don't know if you get the channel AMC, but on Sunday is the 2 hour premiere of SEASON TWO of THE KILLLING at 8pm.

Elmore, do you think "Sweet Thursday" would work with a new book? Or are the lyrics too much like the book for it to work?

I'm like JRand. I only know the score from the CD and I much prefer the livelier sound of "Me and Juliet." Am really glad this is getting a recording.

Please, no rain this weekend.  I really need sunshine and walks to not have any more tantrums.
My mouth seems to have a mind of it's own at times like that.   :-[ :-[

My boyfriend came over yesterday while I was at work and fixed all the things in the yard that needed to be mended with electric tool things. 

He's really sweet.    :)

And has this look of total "what's the matter with you" on his face when I and my mouth are having tantrums.   

It's rather quite uneasy for me to look at him.  ???

Blu ray - Breakfast at Tiffany's - Got this as a rental.

CD - This Island Earth - The first and only Monstrous Movie Music title I've bought. Their titles haven't really appealed to me but I saw this going cheap second hand, so thought I'd try it out!

Good morning, all! I stayed up too late to watch the cast of ONCE on Letterman; the show ends at 12:37, and the ONCE number happened around 12:33!  While I waited I leafed through BK's new memoir and had a huge nostalgia trip looking at all the photos! There I am, in my Alice In Wonderland t-shirt, and it brought back so many memories. I look forward to reading it. I will most likely begin it tonight.

Today, I have laundry first thing, and then I need to hear the 4th Disc master before I can get into my continued search for a young Brit to play Captain Harry Tryon, our juvenle.

PIPE DREAM vs ME AND JULIET: I loved M&J as a kid, but I think a lot of it was my curiosity on how the set moved from stage to light booth, to dressing rooms. The book's a complete mess with a musical at its core making absolutely no sense, and I now find Joan McCracken, as I do in everything she recorded, a horror to listen to. The score to PIPE DREAM has grown on me, but I think R&H were the wrong writers for gritty derelicts and skid row whores, no matter how whimsical Steinbeck's characters might be.  Could a new book  fix the problem? I think it would probably point out further the split between the songs and the reality of the characters. Loesser succeeds completely in GUYS & DOLLS, but it's a complete cartoon. PIPE DREAM isn't, and it's hard to tell from what's onstage at City Center if R&H were trying to write like G&D. I think the score is too moving at times for the silliness and flimsiness of the story, and, when the score gets silly, it  doesn't always succeed: "We Are A Gang Of Witches" is a bad song, right up there with most of the bad songs in ME & JULIET. But, when the silliness is good - "A Lopsided Bus," the calypso of "The Bum's Opera" - I think Rodgers is writing better for the show than Hammerstein does. But, then, Rodgers had already done one great show about gritty characters and the seamier aside of show biz, PAL JOEY.

TOD:
   DVD:  three Netflix including "My Week With Marilyn"
   CD:  Herbert songs, PIPE DREAM, ONCE, Offenbach, Guy Haines
   VCR: oy!

I guess "Pal Joey and Demetrius and the Gladiators" was a sequel to "Pal Joey" or maybe even a sequel to "Demetrius and the Gladiators."  I wonder if you can get it from Netflix.

We watched Criterion's A NIGHT TO REMEMBER earlier this week.

As much as I enjoy both the 1953 and the 1997 movies, TITANIC, I think that this is, by far, the best dramatic film that deals with the tragedy.

Equally as moving in the Criterion set is a 20 minute interview with Eva Hunt, one of the survivors, who lost her father that night.
