Good morning, all! I have a bit of work to accomplish this morning for Rob Berman's Trinity Church concerts, and then I will meet Bruce Pomahac for lunch before we see Inventing Mary Martin at the York Theatre.

I've got to put together this morning notes for the first of the three concerts, Jerome Kern's 1917 Princess Theatre show, Oh, Boy!. I'll give him notes on what happened in the world and the New York stage in 1917, a short thing on the Princess Theatre, how Ray Comstock, and Elizabeth Marbury became its producers, and a synopsis of the show and hw the songs fit into the plot.

I just got this new Sheldon Harnick 2-CD set assembled for his 90th birthday, and I love it!

I just ordered that and the Hugh Martin CD, as well. :)

Crap.  I paid $30 each for these two CDs, but the Harnick CD is on sale for only $12.99...and the regular price is only $16.99! >:(

I wasn't going to point that sale that out since you'd already bought yours.

Speaking of ROSEMARY'S BABY - ran across this YouTube report on the TV remake

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55MHn2StJG4



I am confused by some of the articles I have read about the miniseries.  All of them go out of their way to say that this is based on the novel, and not on the film.  I don't remember very many diffferences between the two; at least, not enough to make such a distinction.

Had our stumble-through - cast was great, MD had real issues today and I had to be very strong to get them fixed - way too many crazy mistakes throughout - I can deal with one or two, but when opening vamps change, when songs are started in wrong keys, when transitions aren't what they're supposed to be, then the singers are left hung out to dry and I just won't allow it.  Hopefully there will be much practicing between now and sound check.  But what songs and what singers.  I was so whacked out about the piano stuff that I wasn't really concentrating enough on Sami and my duet (she was having trouble concentrating, too because we didn't know if we were going to be led into some wacky land) - Actually I remembered everything but the first line of one couplet.  After we were done, I reviewed all the problem sections and hopefully the problems were rectified in ways that he will understand for the show.

Then some of us went and had dinner.  I had a chili, cheese and onion grilled hot dog and fries - just what I wanted and it was great.

Good morning, all! I have a bit of work to accomplish this morning for Rob Berman's Trinity Church concerts, and then I will meet Bruce Pomahac for lunch before we see Inventing Mary Martin at the York Theatre.

I've got to put together this morning notes for the first of the three concerts, Jerome Kern's 1917 Princess Theatre show, Oh, Boy!. I'll give him notes on what happened in the world and the New York stage in 1917, a short thing on the Princess Theatre, how Ray Comstock, and Elizabeth Marbury became its producers, and a synopsis of the show and hw the songs fit into the plot.

I just got this new Sheldon Harnick 2-CD set assembled for his 90th birthday, and I love it!

I just ordered that and the Hugh Martin CD, as well. :)

Crap.  I paid $30 each for these two CDs, but the Harnick CD is on sale for only $12.99...and the regular price is only $16.99! >:(

I wasn't going to point that sale that out since you'd already bought yours.

Oh, well.  It's not the first time that something like that has happened.  And when I'd had some stuff stolen a few years ago from my garage, there were a couple of CDs that I bought more than once...I now have two copies of Donna Murphy's The King and I, and three copies each of Kiss of the Spider Woman, The Birdcage AND Das Barbecü. ::)

Tonight, we had a full house (our first) for "Chamber Music"!  They loved the show and the actors gave a great performance.  There was one missed sound cue (not my mistake ;)), but other than that, it went really well.

I don't mean to say it didn't go well - it was fine for the singers - they were great and the songs are all stellar - it was just the MD problems that were problems and hopefully we've now solved them.  Luckily, whenever I'm told something was right when I know it wasn't, the singer has a recording and we play it and guess what - it wasn't right - then we adjust.  If I hear anything untoward at the sound check we'll still have time to adjust it.  As much as I love our MD, this will, I think, be his last time with us and I think he'll be thrilled with that news.
