Glad you got to the  party DR ELMORE.  I was listening to some older CD's last night- since I couldn't sleep.  And I would be interested in your thoughts on the NEW GIRL IN TOWN score and orchestrations....

DR JRand63, I'm a big fan of the NEW GIRL IN TOWN score, although it seems as appropriate for Anna Christie as a soprano in a barbershop quartet. I think when it's good, it's quite good, but there are a few numbers I'm not crazy about. I haven't listened to the recording in some time, but it's my memory that the orchestrations are quite nice. Bennett and Lang paired up on several shows - MY FAIR LADY, CAMELOT, REDHEAD are all I can think of - but their work together is really good.

The Irish Rep did NEW GIRL about three years ago. That's where I found Patrick Cummings, who's on the ROBERTA recording. They cut several od the "musical comedy" numbers and went back to Anna Christie for more book. It all seemed an odd fit, but i enjoyed it.

Tuesday afternoon greetings!  We've taken it easy this morning and will head out soon to do errands at the Drama Bookstore and the Belasco box office.  Eventually we'll make our way across town to the Episcopal Center where one of Richard's seminary classmates is being ordained priest late this afternoon.  That will be our "theatre" for today.

I remember when you wrote about this....sounds interesting, but of course on CD it's the musical comedy numbers that come off the best.

I have indeed accepted the role of Philoctetes in the Achilles/Achillies' Son to be produced in January at DePauw University.  I have many of the BEST lines in the show, and I am hoping it will be a fun process...at least it won't be as grim as THE CRUCIBLE was last year (although I did enjoy doing that show).

WOW - this new EZ EYES keyboard is great.  It has a very light touch, it is very quiet, and it is EZ to see.

Oh dear, there are many DON'T BUY THIS KEYBOARD messages on Google....not very many people are happy with it.  We shall see what happens with me.

My beloved goddaughter Charlotte came to visit me today. It was lovely see her and hear about the things she's been doing. Today: voice lesson, dance class, and a screening with her godmother Celia Weston.  She wears me out!

Good morning, all!

BK, congrats on the success of Sandy's show last night. I was delighted and honored to be there at the big kid's table, and I had great fun catching up with Jessica and meeting her lovely daughter.

I could see all the wonderful BK touches in Sandy's show, and absolutely loved your song 'Simply". It was "Simply" marvelous.
I also loved "This Christmas" - so funny, and worked perfectly as her encore. My other favorite BK touch was the hint of "Cabaret" in her "Where or When".

Great night, great work! I was so happy to be there.

TOD:
I haven't seen a lot of cabaret acts, but my faves of the ones I have seen were Bernadette Peters, Barbara Cook and Maxine Andrews.

I've been up for an hour or so but just stayed in bed until I got the house heated up.  Thanks for all the nice comments on the notes to those who made them.
