Theater criticism is not dead, especially when the rapier is being thrust by a fellow actor. A charming review of the new "Into the Woods":

Exactly. I remember watching that show as a kid.

Ketchup VIBES all around...for the health and welfare of all DRs and their families and friends, and for DR George's friend.

DR Jrand61, maybe you posted and it flew right by me like a gazelle on its way to Barnes and Noble during a Criterion sale, but whatever happened with the no-show helper on your opening night?

We had a line of intense thunderstorms pass through yesterday evening in which most of the rain and thunder and lightning missed my area, but the sky and winds were the second most beautiful example of a healing cool front I've ever experienced. I don't even have the vocabulary to describe it, that's how unique and "awesome" and welcoming it was. Within half an hour we went from a 90+ degree A/C lockdown to a windows-flung-wide-open one that is heavenly even now.

(Sorry, DR Ginny!)

Thanks, DR ChasSmith! I think we're in for a cool-down over the weekend. It will be very welcome, because my Mom's retirement community has their annual fish fry on Saturday and our local Greek church has their festival all weekend.

Anyway, during the rehearsal, I got a call from a friend who (had to leave a message which) said that according to the local paper (and a LOT of Facebook posts) a mutual friend of ours has been missing since Sunday night! Here's the article:

He's the resident musical director for Capital Playhouse and I've known him since we met during the very first show that I did in Olympia in 1989. I hope that he's found and and soon and well!

Oh George-- I hope your friend is found soon-- and alive and well.

Greetings from the New Toyland! The super has been paid for his help yesterday, and he will be in and out removing things he's welcome to that I never want tro see again.

I'm getting my workroom organized first so it can be a center of sanity during the insanity. First, I'm having a bagel I just removed from the microwave. Yummy!

It is SO hot today. I popped into the coffee shop for an iced lemonade and it tasted SO good.

Hello, Goodbye

Matthew · « **Reply #41 on:** July 25, 2012, 07:43:08 AM »

Off to camp. I love these little ones and I really like Dear Edwina Jr, that's what counts here.

Had a phone call from Dell to remind me that the 4 year warranty on my computer had just expired. They offered a one year extension for the equivalent of about $160 but as nothing has gone wrong in 4 years I didn't see the point.

Well... My Amtrak train is moving fast. Alas, not so with the onboard wifi.

At least I got a good nap in.

DR Matthew - I like Dear Edwina, Jr. (and not Jr.) too. I had a blast working on a special production of it a few years ago with Marcy and Zina.

DR Doug R - You do know that this now means that Dell will unlock/unleash your computer's self-destruct mode.

I feel like I'm in a time-warp what with JoseS posting and all.

Welcome HOME, JoseSPiano!!!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #48 on:** July 25, 2012, 08:00:48 AM »

Thank You, DR Ron Pulliam!

Will I see you when I'm out in Palo Alto in a few weeks? Or when I'm in San Francisco in September?

And now... Trenton...

And once I'm back in NYC in a few hours, I think I'm going to take my newish bike out for a spin in Central Park. It's a gorgeous day! And then tonight I'm seeing Bring It On. I saw the show when it opened in L.A. last fall, and it will be nice to see how it has changed. Apparently, there's a new opening as well as three new songs.

...Then A Letter to Harvey Milk at NYMF tomorrow night, Into the Woods starring What If?'s costumer designer, Amy Adams,

next Monday, and Dogfight next Wednesday. -Playing catch up!

And this weekend, I somehow got wrangled - and happily so - into playing for some wedding festivities for some Broadway folk. Should be a great time, and I think I'll actually get to experience Julia Murney's pancakes! -That's not a euphemism.

It seems as if that is what happened to my Dell.

Speaking of the AC, I just got the electric bill I've been dreading because of how much we've had to run it this summer.

June 20 - July 23, 33-day billing period: $289. For comparison, last month's $155 is pretty typical for the moderate months. Looking back, however, this one is only a few, uh (what are those things again?) "kWh" higher than same period last year.

And so it goes.
