Someone just ordered five copies of the Nudie Musical Blu and Ray

First one after Bruce.

That does not happen very often.

I haven't read in two days.

I could have read a book in the same amount of time I didn't read anything.

I'm just back from seeing Ms. LuPone at the Razz Room in SF. It was quite spontaneous as a friend of mine was ill and couldn't use his tickets. It was the show she did at 54 Below, and she was just great. An hour and 20 minutes or pure joy.

And that's all I have... who could ask for anything more?

Morning all.

That is all.

Larry, i really am happy for all the artists. several of whom I love dearly,and no one respects the greatness of Strouse and Adams like me.

But your word "produces" could be the key word -

Many of today's writers under 40 or 50 write "silly" just great, and create great silly songs - the producers don't trust shows with songs like that any more for Broadway, though, unless they come form somewhere with a sheaf of good reviews.. but I urge you to look at Lutvak and freedman's score based on Kind Hearts ad Coronets (whatever they're calling it at the Old Globe), the score of Nobody Loves You coming up at Second Stage. Also, some of the best of Goldrich and Heisler, some of the best of Adam Gwon's funny stuff (he has two sides that are very different, his moody stuff is arty, but his his goofy side is wonderfully silly and makes me double over when I need to feel better). these are as much testaments to the worlds of Strosue and Adams as so many are to Sondheim, I think.

In other words, I think their tradiiton lives on(maybe in part) in the classes Strouse taught, for example - just as Sondheim's tradition live on, and Herman's lives on in others, etc!

Birthday wishes to Stephen Sondheim. Sending vibes whether he reads here or not!

Is it Andrew Lloyd Webber's birthday as well? Hmm, did i not know they share a birthday?

They did a video together to honor Cameron Mackintosh, IIRC. They must get along.

Rumors abound of a SUPERMAN move!!!! Hoping this means more work for elmore!

FJL · « **Reply #12 on:** March 22, 2013, 05:12:15 AM »

(or if not more work for elmore, maybe more money for work already done,.

Good morning, all!

I wish I could have slept longer, but the neighbor above me began stomping around at 7:00 and by 7:30, I figured I wouldn't get any more sleep and it was time to begin moving. I'll leave here around 9:45; I have a barber appointment at 10:30, and then I will head to Toyland. I have a bit of work there, then Anthony Morelli is showing up around 12:30 to drop off some work and to pick up a small job I've asked him to do for me. Following that, I'll hang out at Toyland until I meet Bruce Pomahac at 4:30. We'll visit, have dinner, and see the Irish Rep production of DONNYBROOK, following which Joshie, the music director, the wonderful harpist Karen Lindquist, and I step out for a drink. Bruce is going out with Donna Kane, who is playing one of the DONNYBROOK leads. I am hoping for a fantastic day.

TOD:
DVD: Fledermaus (Glyndebourne production), Les Miserables (Depardieu-Malkovich)
CD: Dearest Enemy, Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Offenbach, Superman
VHS: Smut

Bitterly cold day again with snow affecting a lot of the country - but not London - yet.

Parody lyric I have no idea where to go with, for a duet between Jrand and Cilla;

Precious and Boo fill the stories we two can share

OK, I'll stop now!

Oh wow DR Vixmom sounds like you had a crazy day.

Jennifer · « **Reply #28 on:** March 22, 2013, 06:22:43 AM »

DR Jane did you not read because you did not have anything to read or because of your ailing body parts? Earlier this week I did not read for four days. I just could not seem to start the book I needed to start.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #29 on:** March 22, 2013, 06:37:21 AM »

Good morning, all.

Time to hit the road. I'll drive through DC a little, just to get the feel for it and see a few sights sort of up close, and there's a bookstore in one of the 'burbs I want to check out. Then it's back to good old I-95.
