We got back to the Club around 7:00, and seven of us staying here and our Lord Henry, John Molloy, went out for dinner and drinks. Jason and Kim had Rob Berman in tears from laughing so much. They seem to be on a mission to upstage each other on the mikes, and it's all quite funny. Today we finished up our tenor Eamonn and trio of couturier ladies - Mary, Aine, and Chrissy - and tomorrow morning is John Molloy's last session. My heart breaks saying goodbye to each of them.
So, this morning, we got all of the various "Touch of Your Hand" numbers in the score: the performance duet, the ladies' trio, and Sidonie's reprise. Jason and Kim did their duet "Something Had To Happen" and we finally read down the Exit Music to check it for errors.
In the afternoon session we got the Act One and Act Two Finales, some underscoring, and the big Wardrobe Scene where the exiled Russian princess Stephanie is decked out in her mother's royal finery to land the leading man at the Cafe Russe. Russell Bennett quotes Russian music right and left, ending with the national anthem, ending in the Russian national anthem. It's a great Cinderella moment. We also recorded the two songs in the score that are so poor they were cut to shreds before the Broadway Opening. We're giving them complete to the public.
Now, to the postcards. I only sent a few to friends whose address is on this laptop, and I make apologies to any of you who did not get one. I simply didn't have your address with me.
