I already had a banana (a small one) but I'm hungry. I may have to wake up my husband so I can eat breakfast.

We're busy today.

Don't know if we will be out and about today. Anthony doesn't have tap class because it's Easter. We shall see how the day progresses.

Bye for now.

I enjoyed reading about DR VIXMOM'S Good Friday service, DR JOHN G's pie, and DR KEVIN H's sister! It was an entertaining day at HHW yesterday.

Well...we have reached the fork in the road.....I find Nancy Kwan to be beautiful, but completely incompetent as an actress.....to be kind.

I finished Gowns by Roberta.

Meh.

Can you believe she was a best selling author?

That could almost make a great pull-quote: "Beautiful and deliriously incompetent" - New York post

I believe Roberta did my outfit for "Book report on Peter rabbit" in YOU'RE A GOODMAN, CHARLIE BROWN.

IIRC, the last name of the fellow playing Schroeder actually was Plastick, but a really really good actor despite the name. That was an intersting irony, a really excellent great actor playing Schroeder, a small-ish part - but I think he couldn't really sing that well at that point, or his voice was changing at the time.

I tried to have a different outfit for every number n my contract. they said if i supplied the clothes, they would give me time to change during book scenes (which frankly nobody would miss Lucy during if she weren;t there), but otherwise no dice.

That's a joke. I didn;t really have a contract. And the guy playing Linus was always waiitng to take my part.

Truly a microcosm.

It was as i recall at the very beginning of the streaking craze. And the guy playing Linus seemed to find the concept hilarious, and liked airing himself during rehearsals as i recall to make us laugh, and this was in a day when going commando was not normal. It was an all-boys camp. Happily, he did not do this during production but some of us were worried.

We like to think the Oscars streaker emulated our camp.

Is this the line you're referring to?:

"Isn't it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?"

FJL · « **Reply #52 on:** March 31, 2013, 07:29:30 AM »

Fascinating that City Center marketing people are back this morning financially supporting the Talkin Broadway site, and ironic it's just at a time when the talkin Broadway site is really raking Encores people over the coals.

I'd spent the last fifteen years doing my little part supporting Encores and City center , when we could could with donations and support of all kinds, when we couldn't financially by saying all the good things I could everywhere when I had something supportive to say and get friendly discussion going.

Karma, City Center marketing, Karma.

I hope Jack has nothing but happiness, likewise you Larry - and they've been very firm within Jack that he and the arts side must stay out of these marketing decisions

Yeah, it seemed a little provocative for Easter morning somehow.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! The latest Broadway Radio Show is up on this here wonderful website for your listening pleasure. This time we look at this year's Olivier Award nominees, announced just this past week, including selections from Top Hat, Sweeney Todd, The Bodyguard, and a new show called Loserville. Enjoy!

FJL · « **Reply #55 on:** March 31, 2013, 08:17:12 AM »

Re Donald post about the Oliviers - Did I ever post this tribute to THE BODYGUARD that I'd put in the comments to the Times review, about Ben Brantley's observation that if Heather Headley's bodyguard had been a better cop and less "studly" the plot of THE BODYGUARD might have been over in about 25 minutes:

Tune of I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY WHO LOVES ME (from The Bodyguard musical)

Crook strikes, he starts to stalk
And the cop is not too bright
Stop the plot with some songs to hawk
And those hits help pad the night

We’ve done all right up ‘til now
But New York is tougher, holy cow
Got Heather all signed
What guy can we find?

(chorus – 2x)
Oh, we’ve got a chance for some hottie
She needs to have some heat with some hottie
Yeah, need some advance with some hottie
With some hottie who’s studly

Some hottie who (2x),
Some hottie who’s studly
Some hottie who (2x)
Won’t blur out Heather’s charms

We need a cop who’s a hot buffoon
‘Cause if he seems too smart the plot ends too soon
But when New York calls
The casting search stalls

(repeat chorus over and over)

It's overcast outside, so I'll wait a bit and see if it burns off - if not, I'll just jog and wear a sweatshirt instead of a t-shirt.

I believe I've approved KevinH's sister so hopefully she'll get the e-mail and join our merry troupe.
