For your Banned Books Week entertainment:

Which Banned Book Are You?

Even when I change a couple of answers, I still get Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer - maybe I should read it...

I got "Grapes of Wrath."

I love Into The Woods -- when the filmed musical was released on DVD  we were given it as a Christmas gift my my in-laws, with whom we had seen it (was it in December 87 or 88?)

Our family tradition now is to watch it while decorating our Christmas tree

Listening to the musical version of "From Here to Eternity." The recording is live, and I have to say I like a lot of the music. Haven't paid too much attention to Tim Rice's lyrics, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

I hated Cats the first time I saw it  - could not understand the appeal at all  but it was shown on PBS and my parents (who loved it)  taped it and  the little Vixter fell in love with it...

 I learned the show would be closing and managed to snag 3  orchestra seats for her  7th birthday --- way down in the orchestra they had the seats set up in little wedges   

We were  only 4 rows from the stage  but there were only our three seats in our row, with aisles on either side of us and behind us -- we put the Vixter in one of the end seats  and she was delighted as the cats kept wandering off stage and nosing around

because of that experience I now have fond memories of CATS

Loved  Spamalot -- except for the ending , but then again Monty Python  never did know how to end a skit

Guys and Dolls leaves me cold .... but maybe it's just haven't seen a good version of it; I have only seen high school productions

Thanks again for all the thoughts for DD Zach. He's still pretty shaky, and still not eating - now for over 48 hours, so we're not out of the woods yet.    ???

To answer ArnoldMBrockman's query about theme songs, well, that's a hard one.

Maybe "Anything Goes."

Tonight, I've come across two references to a YA novel called "Eleanor and Park," which has been getting banned a lot. Has anyone read it?

Back from the final vocal comping session - went very well indeed.  I was wrong about finessing tomorrow night - it's actually Wednesday night and then Lanny is on Thursday.

I just watched the first episode of the new show "Scorpion."  It's supposedly based on (or "inspired by") a real person, who is a genius.  He actually hacked into the NASA computer when he was 13.  This episode showed that as a flashback while he and his three genius cohorts try to fix the computers that control planes that fly over Los Angeles.

THIS article outlines the plot (and plot holes) and explains the characters.  I checked my mind at the door and just went along for the ride.

I got it last week and listened to the first half of the first disc...on first (incomplete) hearing, I wasn't impressed.

However, the live show was filmed and will be shown in movie theaters around the country and if I don't have something to do on at least one of those nights (October 2, 5 AND 9), I plan to go.
