Well, you've read the notes, the notes were photographic, and now it is time for you to post until the photographic cows come home.

tod

many shows by Jonathan Tunick, Robert Russell Bennett, Ralph Burns, Don Walker, Philip Lang, Irwin Kostal, Sid Ramin and the talented crew of people at MGM Studios including Roger Edens

and of course are own LARRY MOORE who work on so many of Kimmel's produced albums make them that much more enjoyable to hear and in some cases should be the definitive versions

Good morning, all! My weekend is pretty loose; I had planned to be at Toyland this morning, but I am stuck here waiting for my Mac Man to help me with an email problem: my server will accept emails but will not send them because it claims my password is wrong. Hopefully, h can help me clear up this mess.

So, I'll go to Toyland tomorrow and cart home some more things.

DR Michael Shayne, thank you for the kind compliment.

I must say, I miss the old days, where a Broadway orchestra had 25-35 musicians and off-Broadway musicals had 5-10. Now, it's all bar mitzvah bands , although the new revival of On The Town has around 28 players, making it, the revival of Finian's Rainbow, and the Lincoln Center South Pacific the only revivals to work with the shows' original orchestrations.

So, here area few of my favorites:
BROADWAY
1903: BABES IN TOYLAND (orchestrators Otto Langey and Victor Herbert)
1917: HAVE A HEART or OH, LADY! LADY! (Frank Saddler)
1924: SITTING PRETTY (Robert Russell Bennett)
1933: ROBERTA (Robert Russell Bennett)
1944: ON THE TOWN (Hershy Kay)
1945: CAROUSEL (Don Walker)
1956: CANDIDE (Hershy Kay)
1957: WEST SIDE STORY (Sid Ramin and Irwin Kostal)
1960: WILDCAT (Robert Ginzler)
1962: A FUNNY THING HAPPENED (Sid Ramin and Irwin Kostal)
1963: SHE LOVES ME (Don Walker)
1969: DEAR WORLD (Philip J. Lang)
1971: FOLLIES (Jonathan Tunick)
OFF-BROADWAY
1954: THREEPENNY OPERA (Kurt weill, adapted by Blitzstein)
1954: THE GOLDEN APPLE (Jerome Moross/Hershy Kay)
1960: THE FANTASTICKS (Julian Stein)
1960: ERNEST IN LOVE (Gershon Kingsley)
1963: THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE (Larry Wilcox)

I am too ignorant to comment intelligently on the TOD so I will simply listen to selections fromElmores list and try to educate myself

Good morning, all.

That is a fine idea, DR vixmom.

Well, this whole weekend is show stuff for me, so I will be scarce.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #9 on:** September 13, 2014, 06:00:58 AM »

All too scarce, I'm afraid.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #10 on:** September 13, 2014, 06:01:25 AM »

A scary scarce.

the Vixter and I seem to carry a curse with us - if there is a long time business tat we have never been to na d we finally go to it , it immediately closes

It happened with the mattress store --- there for 30 years , closed the month after we bought a mattress

the Beechtree Cafe... after more than 25 years , gone 2 weeks after our visit

The Garden Diner....after 10 years

The Chinese take out restaurant that had been in the same location since 1962 not only closed , it burned down the night we made our first visit in 2012

Last night after the wake, the Vixter and I went to a coffeehouse that has been in business for 10 years to have a light meal and a chat. We enjoyed ourselves and told the waitress we would be back.

She informed us that they were closing at the end of September since they lost their lease

The Vixter and I just looked at each other and whispered "the curse"

Been there, done that, vixmom. I "discover" something wonderful, that's BEEN wonderful for years, and that's the end of it.

Shootings at 84th Street and Amsterdam and at 83rd and Amsterdam last night! Just around the corner from me. I haven't lived in a neighborhood with shootings on the corner since 1980 when there were shootings at 94th and Amsterdam.

I, of course, blame the NRA.

I have NEVER played a part like this.....it explodes on the stage and never lets go. I am having great fun with all the physical comedy....and the audience seems to do so as well.

Last night I was interrupted by applause TWICE and got all of the same and couple of new laughs!

And of course, there IS the bicycle horn.

I guess they really don't expect a 64 year old fat man to leap over the back of the couch into a reclining position.....

Good morning, all.

JRand, I don't think I could have leaped over the back of a couch into a reclining position when I was 34.
