But that is not so unusual receiving a nomination after your death. Oscar Hamerstein received one 36 years after he died and Richard Rodgers received one 17 years for State Fair.

Can anyone name the composer who won a Tony Award 66 years after he died?

This is what I just saw on Saturday...PHOTO EXCLUSIVE: Behind the Scenes With Will Reynolds and 5th Avenue Theatre's A Room with a View Musical!

;D

That's a beautiful theatre! I'm wondering if the director is the same ass responsible for screwing up the LIFE BEGINS AT 8:40 concert/recording.

No, after some research, I don't think it's the same director

And my friend Ben Davis has agreed to do the lead in the MERRY WIDOW concert at Trinity Church.  I'm very happy.

Shhh!  That's DR Vixmom's Christmas present!

I'm sure she will appreciate never having to soak up water again.

I shall practice looking surprised -  I am very much looking forward to Christmas!!

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

Jane Austen, "Pride and Prejudice"

Greatest opening sentence ever, and one of the most frequently referenced, I'd guess!

Along with "I am born" and "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" and "Call me Ishmael".

It's either Borodin or Tony Randall, who had been cryogenically preserved since 1961.  I bet not many people knew that.  Put that in your pipe.  Drain pipe that is.

On this date in 1636, Prince Frederik Henry occupied Schenkenschans.  The very next day, Schenkenbaak was invented.

On this date in 1644, farm leader Li Zicheng became emperor of China and fled Peking.  That was the first Peking Duck on record.

A yoke? Yes?

Randall died 10 years ago.

On this date in 1660, composer Matthias Henriksen Schacht was born.  He was schacht that he was never nominated for a Tony.

But of corpse, he's decomposing now.

On this date in 1988, Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson married.  Within the year, together they would cause the burn-out of half the plastic surgeons in Los Angeles County.  Not even Grainger supply could keep up with the heightened demand for spackle.

BTW, some guy named Hitchcock died on this date in 1980.  As far as we know, no birds or showers were to blame.

"Call me Ishmael" is a great opening.  I wonder though if it is only so because we know what follows.

Except, in this case - a little bug-a-boo of mine. It drives me crazy whenever "man and wife" is used.


It should either be "man and woman" or "husband and wife."

I've always felt the same way.

I, too, watch MR SELFRIDGE. Have you seen THE PARADISE? It's similar, but not so much repetition to spoil it. I think you'd enjoy it.

Just heard the principal Tony Award nominees. I have got to get to A GENTLEMAN'S GUDE TO LOVE AND MURDER!

I see that ALADDIN received a nomination for Best Original Score.  Isn't this the Disney cartoon brouht to life?

It's been expanded and there is a new lyricist, so there are more songs than what the movie had.


I realize that, but how does that make it eligible for Best Original Score?
