First he hunts whales, then he's a Rainmaker, and now you tell me he brews coffee?

der Brucer (who thinks td should keep Minx away from Mocha Grandes)

Not only that, he's flying space fighters and is gender-confused!

BK: You sure he has to be 30's-40's? How 'bout late 20's to early 30's?

::working on the visuals::

Step 1. Fill basement with water
Step 2. Empty multiple cartons of detergent into basement.
Step 3. ....

wait - isn't spin-drying going to be a problem?

It should be noted, der Brucer has never watched Wonder Woman.

Which also means he won't get this joke.

I'm finally back and to prove it I'm here. And elmore is finally back - hoo and ray! Elmore, we need to find an actor pronto -sort of a thirty to forty-fivish Bert Convy type. I had Kirby Tepper, who's fantastic, but he can't do it now, and I haven't seen anyone who comes close to what I need. I need someone who can be funny and irreverant but also deliver a poignant ballad if need be.

Bill Hutton??

DR Jason, I used to watch Wonder Woman too...seems to me that there was a blonde wonder woman to begin with...Cathy Crosby maybe? Anyway, she all of a sudden turned into Lynda Carter, who I agree was the best person for the role.

Cathy Lee Crosby did a made-for-TV version of "Wonder Woman" that was supposed to be a pilot for a series, but it didn't go anywhere. She was blonde (more of a natural looking dishwater blonde...certainly not extreme bleach blonde) and wore a skin-tight pant-suit kind of outfit that's become so popular with the Star Trek costumers these days (a la Seven-of-Nine and T'Pol). There are a couple of copies on eBay right now, if one is so inclined.

George, looking forward to it, but if it’s heavy I will understand if you change your mind.

Well, it's not that heavy, more awkward than heavy. I'm thinking of getting a little wagon or furniture dolly with a handle to pull it around in. It shouldn't be any kind of problem.

I'd love to show it!

Bill Hutton??

His recording of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor© Dreamcoat with Laurie Beechman is my absolute favorite! I really don't like any of the later recordings, although I do like some of the performers...just not the recordings.

Last night DR Jed and I saw a community production of Fiddler. Let's just say it was better than we had expected.

That it was... however, having seen a few productions from this company in the past, the bar had been set disturbingly low...

Quote from: Ann on July 11, 2004, 02:38:20 PM

Musically the show was quite strong

Very much so, yes... sadly, that's only half of a show...

Quote from: Ann on July 11, 2004, 02:38:20 PM

and their Tevye was solid

For the most part, yes. If only he had a sense of comedic timing.

Due to the strength of the music (both vocal and orchestral), I think it was a decent community theatre production, but should have been quite a bit better. My kingdom for a director!!!

We would have stayed for dessert, but the waitress informed us that they do not serve pies!?!?!?! WHAT!?!?!?! Just strudel, pastries and cookies. But no pies!

No, no, no! Not Art's for pies.... Du-Par's for pies! Pies are their thing, man!

Actually, it was someone at 20th Century-Fox, which produced the "Lost in Space" TV series and for whom Herrmann had scored ALL those films, the music of which remains in the 20th Century-Fox vaults and all of which have received spiffy CD releases with splendid sound.

And all three Nick Redman-produced CDs are in my collection. See if you can find them:

Panni · « **Reply #137 on:** July 11, 2004, 05:38:15 PM »

Jane, to be honest, I haven't eaten at Gerbeaud for decades. I'm sorry to hear their desserts are not yumillicious. Sigh....

bk · « **Reply #138 on:** July 11, 2004, 05:38:18 PM »

I like Darrin Baker (right type) but he's in NY I think. We thought of Bill Hutton today - not sure about his humor, though. I might give him a call.

Jason: I suppose we could consider someone a bit younger, but you know I have Tammy and her young friend, and Susanne and Alet, and I'd like a slightly older type to balance with the latter two.

Panni · « **Reply #139 on:** July 11, 2004, 05:40:53 PM »

...Of course, I'm not saying that Du-Par's is better than the House of Pies when it comes to pies. I've never been to the House of Pies. I would like to go to the House of Pies. I'm just saying that when in the City of Studio, the pie place is Du-Par's.

Dear Friend BK, I am thrilled to be back! I will email you more later. did you get my postcard? I've heard brief rumblings about your show, but I want to know all about it. It's to be in LA? What about greg Jbara? I thought Bill Hutton was a good idea. Where's Burke Moses these days? MBarnum wopuld love to see Tom Wopat in the show.

Other ideas: Devon May, who was amazing in "Tree Grows In Brooklyn" at Goodspeed (saw the video last week), Robert Cuccioli, Stephen Bogardus, Jason Graae, James Barbour.

Thanks to all for the kind welcome back! I missed you all.
