Is it in General or limited release?

It's a very limited rolling release. Here is the film's website, which offers information on when and where it can be seen: http://www.broadwaythemovie.com

Jay, I'm dying to see this film. I've been reading about it in several different things (the latest in the LA TIMES today). It just sounds wonderful. Like you, I came in on the tail end of this era...and though I never saw anything on Broadway, I was thankfully exposed to it through TV, cast albums, and road tours...What an exciting, vibrant time it always seemed like. Not just for musicals, but straight plays as well. It still thrills me to thumb through old Theatre Worlds and just peruse the stills from productions.

Can't wait to see the film.

Do not tarry, Dear Reader Charles Pogue, as the engagement has been announced as a limited one. It's playing at the Laemmle Sunset 5 and the Laemmle One Colorado (NOT the Playhouse 7.)

You'll be pleased that straight plays and dramatic actors are as well represented in the film as their musical bretheren and sisteren (sp?).

Thanks for posting the pic, JRand! Sundays in the Park with Abie.

Que es un "straight actor"?

Jay · « **Reply #101 on:** July 04, 2004, 03:30:33 PM »

I am leaving now for a sojourn to the County of Orange for a visit with the Dear Mother. We shall dine on American food (no barbecue, though) and then take in a concert by the Pacific Symphony at an outdoor amphitheater in the lovely burg of Irvine. The event is billed as an Independence Day extravaganza and features the Manhattan Rhythm Kings and, to quote, "Broadway's" Lisa Vroman. Needless to say, fireworks will be part of the mix as well.

Until I return, I remain, faithfully, yours, yours, yours.

Ah, Barnsdall Park, where, during my first year or so of driving, I drove a girl for the express purpose of kissing her. Passing it recently, and telling the story to the Dear Wife, she insisted we instantly pull over to do the same.

Falling Water is oddly proportioned. I guess the family it was designed for was all short and thin, but God forbid they should ever have any guests! I guess it's my favorite Frank Lloyd Wright that I've visited, but I do like the little commercial building on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, just for the fact that nobody seems to know he did it.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #103 on:** July 04, 2004, 03:53:52 PM »

The Anderton Court shops....yes, DRNOEL....still Wright-ian even with non-Wright additions and changes since its construction in 1952.

Noel · « **Reply #104 on:** July 04, 2004, 03:57:11 PM »

And yes, the recording of Arms and the Girl comes with Up In Central Park, another show with lyrics by Dorothy Fields, which my father has fondly remembered all these years

Time soon to partake of some Barbie-Cue (sans Ken, as the two-timing bitch seems to have taken up with some Aussie dude named Blaine -- who looks decidedly conflicted about his sexual orientation. So there may be some interesting Barbie-Blaine stories to come.).

Tomovoz · « **Reply #108 on:** July 04, 2004, 04:27:23 PM »

I have never met (even amongst students over my 30 years in the classroom) an Oz kid called Blaine. Too much surf and sun seems to addled the brain. No brain Blaine.
I wonder if Barbie has considerd aln older man - G I Joe may still be out there.

I've decided no chat tonight - since I may go out for an hour for a bit of barbecue. More fun to post - and I want some haineshisway.com fireworks by gum and by golly and buy bonds.

MBarnum, Panni and Tomovoz thank you for the good health wishes.

I napped for about an hour, and then since Keith was bored and we had to go to the market anyway, we went into town for awhile. We missed the parade but walked around the art fair. Keith said it looked like NY during lunch time there were so many people. We needed to rest after awhile and stopped and shared a falafil. We walked around town a bit then went to the market where we picked up a big watermelon, potato salad and corn. Now we feel as if we celebrated a bit.

JRand-good. I wouldn’t want anyone to watch SHALL WE DANCE with commercials. When we first saw the movie if we hadn’t had subtitles we would have missed much of the dialog the audience was laughing so hard. Sorry, but I have never been in a FLW house that I have liked.

I prefer subtitles unless they are white, on a white back ground or if the dialog is too fast to read. While we were in Bratislava we watched MONK for awhile. The dubbed voice of Monk was very good but the female lead’s voice was horrible.

Panni, nice photo. I’m glad your parade experience was so rewarding.

JRand was TWILIGHT ZONE on?

I've seen quite a few of them, but await the day to see, in person, his great masterpiece: Falling Water.

If you come and visit me, I'll take you there.

Don't know if Bruce ever posted this:

The What If Dept.

This week we'll try a different kind of what if. What if Stephen Sondheim (have you heard of him?) had written The King and I? And it goes something like this (to the tune of Into The Woods):

Into Siam
She's journeying
Miss Anna comes
To meet the King.
Into Siam
To do a thing
To teach the Royal Children.

Into Siam
With child in tow,
Miss Anna only
Wants to know,
Where is her house?
The King says "No!"
She'll live inside the Palace.

What can she do,
The King is King...
But when she's through,
Well, here's the thing...
She'll have her own house,
The house that she wants,
The King cannot refuse her
Or else he just might lose her...

Into Siam
Well, Shall We Dance?
And will they ever
Find romance?
Sadly, they never get
The chance
And all because of Tuptim.

Into Siam
The King will die,
Miss Anna can not
Say goodbye.
She has to stay,
And she knows why...
To teach the kids,
To wear big dresses,
To teach
To sing
To learn
To know
To help
To dance
To anger the Kralahome...

Into Siam,
Into Siam,
Into Siam,
Yes, into Siam
Cause that's her new home!

Hi all! Happy 4th of July! I hope everyone is having a very happy and safe day.

I took the dogs to the dog park today to tire them out. To make sure it's a comfortable evening for them (and me!), I just gave them a few drops of Rescure Remedy as well. It seems to be working so far.

Glad to see your back, happy and safe, Jane & Keith. I bet your animals are very happy to have you home.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #116 on:** July 04, 2004, 05:44:24 PM »

Well the ABC Music Man is not quite as bad as I remember it....I am watching a bit.

Yes TWILIGHT ZONE marathon is on SCIFI Channel, DRJANE.

LOL MS...that Sondheim can write anything!

George · « **Reply #117 on:** July 04, 2004, 05:45:02 PM »

Food has been consumed by all and now we're deciding on whether to play Phase 10 or watch "Independence Day." I'll do either one, but I had to check in. Later!
