I am not a juke box musical fan but I know a number of people who sawBeautiful and they all loved it

I loved the BEAUTIFUL sequence; my CHRISTMAS UP THE HOLLER producer is in the ensemble.

That's cool, Larry!

So why wasn't Aladdin a revival? It was a movie.

New script and songs for the live version. Plus the old songs.

AND it's never been a stage musical before. I think that that's the real reason.

Both "Hedwig" and "Little Shop" had been around a long time and had movies made from the stage musicals.

I hope Beautiful is still playing in October when my friend Paul and I will be in NYC.

elmore, have you seen Beautiful?

I would like to. My priority is A GENTLEMAN's GUIDE; when it was on TDF, I couldn't afford a ticket. Now it's no longer on TDF.

Violet is a revival? I thought it was new ...

The original off-Broadway production was in 1998. There also was a recording made of that production.

A Music Man moment? I'll await.

It doesn't affect THE MUSIC MAN as a scoore or show, and I've seen much much lousier arrangements of musical numbers in revisals and on recordings.

Not me. The jerk is already conceited enough.

Gee, I wonder who that could be?

That's true. It was a fun idea, just not my cup of tea

And now for something completely different...35 Of The Most Concerning Autocorrect Fails Of All Time. I don't know if they're real, but they're pretty ~~darned~~ damned funny!

Lots of folks love the Bridges score - I've only heard one song from it - they posted Kelli O'Hara recording it - when they trumpet that it's one of the most thrilling and ravishing theater songs ever, that's what I kind of want to hear. It wasn't that. It wasn't close. It was okay, like most of his stuff. I've actually never loved any of his stuff - I kind of like a few things. The previous musical that got all those "ravishing" and "thrilling" comments was Light in the Piazza - and I really didn't like that. So, that's one person's opinion of one song. Again, most folks I've talked to feel as Cilla does.

I had a Subway Club for lunch, some popcorn and some low-cal low-fat ice cream. Under 1200 calories for sure, probably closer to 1000 and I'll try to keep it to that. We shall see.
