Good morning, all.

Congrats to BK & Co. on a wonderful show!

Good morning, all! Things go from not-so-good to dreadful in such a short time.

On top of my irritation over my mobility skills, December bodes ill financially, and I am - to put it mildly - concerned. It's certainly affectingly sleeping, and it would happen around the time one should be thinking about what gifts will go to whom. To compound the mess, the reply to my email to the Man from Philadelphia, who can be obtuse and clueless, was utterly obtuse and clueless, more than usual. I'm still pondering my response. How did someone so clueless become so wealthy?

This morning I have physical therapy, but I may leave an hour earlier to make a run to my pharmacy at Lincoln Center before I head back uptown. Hopefully, this afternoon I'll see my super and the landlord's plumber to fix my kitchen leak. When I get back, I can begin my Encores! work for LITTLE ME. It won't keep me afloat for Christmas, but it will at least keep me busy for a couple of weeks.

Good news about last night's show, BK!

Have a god day, everyone!

LITTLE ME! Oh, my. Very interested in that score.

I played it (small production, small band) about a decade ago. Loved the piece, and our male lead in particular was wonderful. But it was a nightmarish experience on several counts, one major challenge being getting a clean reading from our student musicians. We were just talking about handwritten scores? This was a case in which both PC score and parts seemed rife with difficulties in readability and accuracy. I should take my copy out and look through it to see if I still think that, and to get back in touch with it a little.

Happy Monday vibes.

And congratulations on a great show, BK.

Love "Little Me." Do you know, Elmore, if they are doing the original? Thought that version was the funniest of all.

Good question!

Love the original, and at this point I don't even remember what I liked or didn't like about the new version. But I can say that one of my nightmares was being asked by the director to "take down" (is that what you call it?) (transcribe?) some sequences in the new arrangements. Oh my god. I will have to have a few drinks sometime before taking out my notes to see just what the hell I came up with.

In the first revival, the threw out the original ending. Then in the revival BK recorded, they cast only one woman as Belle, which wasn't nearly as funny as having two while one man played seven or eight.

George, the Grease sing-along sounds like fun. It's not my favorite movie, but I think I could enjoy it in such a setting.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 02, 2013, 07:03:29 AM »

I've been to and from the pharmacy, and now I am off to therapy.

I saw my super; plumber will hopefully show up after 1pm.

Excelsior!

Monday morning greetings! I only thought I was tired yesterday - today I'm exhausted. Slept pretty well last night until 2am, then was up reading until about 5, and slept in my chair until 8. At least I'm now ready for Thursday's roundtable discussion of holiday books - re-read Christmas on Jane Street and the "rest of the story" article I'd printed from the New York Times.

I have watched the first three episodes of Season Four of DOWNTON ABBEY.....and I agree with MR BK that it is moving along very well....with no drawn out stories....so far....

I will watch a couple of more episodes tonight.....

My only complaint is that my favorite character has had very little to do ... so far.....
