I've got the Spotlight on Broadway page opened up so I don't forget to watch it later when I have a better chunk of time!

Spotlight on Broadway is a great sight. Ginny, there is probably a mention of it in one of the Playbills for shows that you saw on your trip.

Almost time to head for home!

I've made some fixes for Rodgers & Hammerstein, printed some work to take home and generally done well. I'll try to finish up the orchestra parts this weekend.

Tuesday.....

Well A/A will be set in current day San Antonio with the Alamo standing in for Troy and instead of being Greeks and Trojans we will all be members of warring drug cartels....so I guess it's cowboy hats & boots for us instead of togas....photos will be forthcoming.

Sometimes I forget what university theatre is all about.....

I received a card today from Comcast telling me that because I am a valued customer, I can have two premium channels and StreamPix free for TWO YEARS. I called and ordered HBO and STARZ.....and was assured they are FREE.......if I cancel within two years there is a $75 fee, otherwise nothing.....and I have to call at the end of two years to renew....

I said that I would be VERY UNHAPPY if anything shows up on my bill, but was assured that it is FREE. We shall see.

I just put some mail out for pick-up and it feels like winter here in SW Ohio - brrrr!

Do you mean that you put your mail in your mailbox and your mail carrier takes it?

Yes, DR Jennifer, our mailbox is attached to the house right next to the front door. There's a little gap into which we can insert outgoing mail to be picked up.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #46 on:** November 19, 2013, 10:59:39 AM »

Okay, that's three. Enough for now.

We, with our rural mailboxes at the street, can do the same. We put up the little flag notifying the carrier that we've left something.

Everyone, be sure to scroll all the way down on those individual pages for each theater. Lots of good sh stuff there!

Ginny · « **Reply #49 on:** November 19, 2013, 11:04:11 AM »

OK, I've done a lot of paperwork, emptied the dishwasher, helped Richard swap screens for storm windows, and eaten lunch. Time to try a walk around the basement - bye for now!

I'm home. Sixth Avenue was packed so traffic was really slow, but the bus ride was uncrowded and not bad at all. I'm glad to be home.

For my walk I really wanted to listen to the PIPPIN cast album, but I haven't bought it yet. Next best thing? BK's Stephen Schwartz album which I do own and have installed on my iPod. Perfect!

I have now watched 2 more: my first Broadway theatre, the Imperial (Cabaret) and my second, the Broadway (Funny Girl), summer 1967.

In honor of stingjaw who is unable to post for the time being!

In "Lost Horizon", we learn that "The World is a Circle". In "The Lion King", we learn about "The Circle of Life."

To everything there is a season.

A time to toil, a time to reap, a time to rest...and, as it happens, a time to die.

And death can come along unexpectedly.

But, today.....

................is not that day!

NYC Life TV

is not a Broadway or theatre channel, it's part of New York City's government run television channels. There are 3 of them, NYCLife, NYCGov and NYCWorld. They each focus on different things. One of the many things NYCLife does is run arts and culture programs. but there are other programs on the schedule as well, not just theatre programs.

The show Vixmom was referring to referencing Broadway theatres is a Web-based program called

Spotlight on Broadway

Each theatre is profiled (narrated by David Hyde Pierce and other Broadway actors) with a brief history including video and pictures. The Foxwoods/Lyric causes confusion because they will be re-naming the theatre in the near future (it hasn't happened yet). Spiderman is currently playing at the Foxwoods but the show will close in January.

King Kong, the Australian musical which opened earlier to mixed reviews, will probably go into the theatre. It's that or the Broadway, since Cinderella is not doing well and will probably close in January also. The Gershwin could hold the show but right now Wicked is there and Wicked is not going anyplace any time soon (it just celebrated it's 10th Anniversary, having opened on Halloween of 2003)

Spotlight on Broadway refers to the Foxwoods as The Lyric. It's called the Lyric because the Foxwoods (originally called the Ford Center for the Performing Arts and then the Hilton and now Foxwoods) was created out of 2 old Broadway theatres, the Apollo and the Lyric. This work was done in 1996-1997 when 42nd Street was in the middle of a complete makeover. Because they merged 2 spaces the theatre is HUGE. It has 1,930 seats. It's really too big for most shows which is why it has sat empty for a long time. Ragtime opened in the space in 1998 when it was the Ford Center then it had other shows (most not successful) including

2000 Jesus Christ Superstar (a revival)

2001: 42nd Street (a revival)

2005: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (the London production moved across the pond)

2006: Hot Feet (a "dance" musical which quickly folded); Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (the first production in the franchise)

2007: The Pirate Queen (Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil's attempt to tell an Irish folk tale; another big flop); Young Frankenstein (Mel Brooks' not as bad as they said it was show (in my humble opinion) after The Producers)

2010: Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark (the debacle that will close in January)

At some point before King Kong opens I think they will officially re-name the theatre, since it is no longer owned and operated by the Foxwoods (a casino in CT) Corporation.

I'll have to check these out when I get home. Thanks for sharing, Ben!
