Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a funny bone, and now it is time for you to post until the funny cows come home.

Well, Theater Artists Olympia has the final poster art for the "One Heist Told Twice..." production of "Reservoir Dogs"! Here it is:

If you know the movie, the colors on the poster represent the character's names. The show has been double cast so there's an all-male cast and an all-female cast, who'll perform on alternate nights.

We saw HANDS ON A HARDBODY this weekend, my first venture to going to see a Broadway show after a very challenging (at least for me) winter health-wise which some of you reading here know about but I won't go into too much detail about online.

I'm a fan of literally the entire creative team - Amanda Green, Doug Wright, Trey Anastasio (he of great wonderful Phish fame to followers of pop music), director Neil Pepe, choreographer Sergio Trujillo - so i expected to be delighted by the craft. But even Charles Isherwood's excellent review of the La Jolla production had not prepared me for the show to be an emotional experience. i guess i should have known Doug Wright would not do a lightweight show, but he had done Little Mermaid, and after all, i always think of Amanda Green as laugh-out-loud funny. So even having taken in the reviews, the emotional strength of the show was surprising and quite thrilling.

I gather the show has been controversial on chat areas, but the reviews from la Jolla were great as far as I can tell. go figure..

Having said that, I think the TV commercial does not fully prepare you for what the show is.

I don;t understand how TV ad research works, though.

Good morning, all!

The neighbor above me did not arrive home until around 6:00am. Still, he's not as bad as the shithead realtor with the drug problems of several years ago. My gain there is Toronto's loss, since his Facebook page says he's back in his hometown.

Today is the orchestra reading of the SUPERMAN score for Encores! and we'll see how many wrong notes I missed in my proofreadng. Yesterday was Joshie's birthday, so I have a gift for him, and I look forward to seeing several friends.

DR Matthew, I know of only one recording in English of MADAME BUTTERFLY, and it's this one. Is this the one you purchased? I don't know if I have this since it would be at the office, but I have quite a few of this Opera In English series from Chandos. Some of them are quite good. I've been buying them to hear singers from the UK singing English.

Dreadful cover, though! I look more Japanese than this broad!

Good morning, all.

Thanks for the update on Hands on a Hardbody, FJL. I'm really interested in the show. I had loved the documentary and a fictional remake was supposed to have been the film that Robert Altman made after A Prairie Home Companion. I was interested in reading that the musical actually keeps the characters from the movie. And Amanda is Adolph's daughter, so her progress as a lyricist has been interesting to chart.

Congrats, Matthew.

And, by the way, I like opera in English. If the French can translate Follies, then we can translate Madame Butterfly. I wish more opera companies would perform their works in English.

I've often noticed how Japanese you look, Elmore. Even when you aren't wearing a kimono. Did you have your feet bound as a child? It might explain things.

BK,

I'm shocked...SHOCKED that you've never seen it.

EASTER PARADE is my favorite Fred Astaire movie.
