Well, you've read the notes, the notes had magic to do, and now it is time for you to post until the Pippin cows come home.

And the word of the day is: KICKSHAW!

Morning all.

That is all.

good morning to all

thanks for the review of Pippin.

It's coming to my area and I believe Lucie Arnaz will be playing the role that Miss Martin is doing.

They also just announced that the Broadway production will be closing Jan 4 along with a bunch of other shows

As I write this I have no idea of the election results. I went to bed before it was over.

Health vibes to DR Mike!

Thanks for the further thoughts on DD Dylan from yesterday's posts, which I just caught up on.

Good mrning, all! I slept an hour longer than I had intended, but I'm not complaining.

I'm ready for coffee. Today's a work-at-home day, so I can deliver scores to Joshie tomorrow after therapy. I'd like to grab a couple of hours on break to get my vocal score and listen to "The World Goes Round."

I'm happy you liked "Pippin," BK! I would like to see it. I loved the original production; saw it twice. First time was Labor Day weekend, 1973. second time was March 1974. Irene Ryan had already died, so I saw Lucie Lancaster the first time and Dorothy Stickney the second. By 1974 Betty Buckley had replaced Clayburgh, and Lenora Nemetz, I think, had replaced Leland Palmer. My only real memory of the production is that huge green drop falling on the line "we all could use a change of scene." It was quite vivid.

Thanks DR SINGDAW, but do you have any photos of you both in your costumes?

Thanks to MR BK for the PIPPIN report and information.

It is being produced at a local high school next week, and I plan to attend. I hope it is as much fun as it was when I choreographed it in PCPH a few years ago.....or ten.....

Change of plans for the weekend. We were going out to Long Island to deliver the new computer but Anthony's mother decided she can wait until Thanksgiving for her new toy. There is an OLD (but working) desktop computer (with XP) in the basement. It's very slow and probably 10 years old but it works and she's content so we will wait.

So this weekend instead of riding on a train I will defrost the freezer.

I enjoyed reading about Pippin in the notes.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 05, 2014, 06:08:24 AM »

It's nice when plans change and they work out so well DR BEN.

Wednesday morning greetings! I get to stay home all day today to make another batch of caramel corn and cook one of Richard's favorite dinners - chicken and rice. It's cold and gloomy here in SW Ohio, making it obvious that winter will be here before we know it.

Ginny · « **Reply #19 on:** November 05, 2014, 06:51:41 AM »

BK, thanks for your comments about PIPPIN. I saw it in New York in the summer of 1974 with pretty much the cast DR Elmore described. Richard and I thoroughly enjoyed the revival in New York a year ago. I wonder if the tour is coming to Cincinnati?

Ginny · « **Reply #20 on:** November 05, 2014, 06:54:24 AM »

Nope, no Cincinnati on the PIPPIN tour schedule - yet.

Ginny · « **Reply #21 on:** November 05, 2014, 06:56:39 AM »

Question for BK: When do you arrive in New York?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** November 05, 2014, 07:05:08 AM »

Good morning, all. A bit late.

Coffee!

Druxy · « **Reply #23 on:** November 05, 2014, 07:13:44 AM »

On my first trip to New York, I got tickets for PIPPIN, but when I arrived at the theater, it was posted that Ben Vereen was not doing that performance, so I got a refund.

That was probably a mistake, but I later saw the video of the original cast production. In fact, I think I still have the DVD.

I also caught a production with a 2nd-string cast in the Los Angeles area about 15 years ago.

Ask BK Day:
Bruce, how far out in advance do you decide the theme of each Kritzerland show (in California)? In other words, for how many future Kritzerland shows do you already know what the theme will be?

Kate · « **Reply #25 on:** November 05, 2014, 07:33:05 AM »

Good Morning All:

Goodbye for now!!!

I'm never that ahead, although the past six months I was. I know what the January and February shows are.

bk · « **Reply #28 on:** November 05, 2014, 08:46:11 AM »

I arrive in NY on Thursday afternoon.

I'm up. Not much sleep.
