ONE MAN TWO GUVNORS is a slapstick delight with an amazing cast. Carlo Goldoni's mid-18th century commedia SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS has been turned into a farce set in 1963 Brighton with a neo-1960s rock and roll score played, primarily, by a wonderful 4-piece band along with occasional musical moments from the cast. It's absolutely brilliant and outrageously naughty and funny. Goldoni's plot and most of his business are kept and, once rolling, it gets crazier and crazier.

The Act One closer is a masterpiece of complete insanity: a meal for the two masters served by the leading man and two waiters, one of them an 87 year-old on a pacemaker, and an assist from a lady in the audience, gets loonier and loonier with the old waiter throttled, falling or thrown down stairs,knocked down and slammed by opening and closing doors till you think you can laugh no more. The staging and the comic timing are brilliant, as is the cast, stepping in and out of character to address the audience. Most of the songs act as interludes, having nothing to do with the plot, but the curtain call, with everyone singing and dancing various dances of the early 60's like the Pony, and I kept thinking, DR  JRand61 would really love this.

As to our leading man who won the Tony for Best Actor: perfection.

A lot of youtube clips from the show in London and New York; this clip of excerpts is good:

George, the overture to Merrily is one of my favorites.
Look forward to hearing your opinion of this particular cast.

Here's a sneak peek:




Just my personal (and never humble) opinion, I think the newly remixed and remastered should be highlighted more or enlarged or something

It will be most highlighted in the announcements, but I didn't want anything competing with the art.

I've picked up a couple of packages, including the early arrival of the important envelope, and I did some banking.  I ate two tuna sandwiches again (that craving is now done) and I'm watching episode one of the TV version of Beck - different cast to get used to, awful 1990s shaky-cam (not the same as today, but just as bad and pointless) and we'll see if it's to my liking or not.

There are all these commercials being broadcast lately - Corolla, Time Warner Cable are my two least faves - and after they end, I think what the fat hell did that piece of crap commercial mean or even have to so with selling a product?

TOD:  In the early 1980s in Indianapolis ... probably July 4, 1980 or 1981. The entire downtown area -- from the circle to the library -- was cordoned off for a major celebration/street fair/evening concert. People-watching was great, there were bands and the food vendors everywhere with great food offerings. The Indianpolis Symphony started playing at dusk. On tap for that event was the world premiere of John Williams' symphonic arrangement of music from "Star Wars". Quite unexpected and thrilling. We had the William Tell Overture for the fireworks display, naturally.
