Don't know who's planning on dinner tonight/late afternoon but I think it's Ginny, Richard, Deb, Kevin and me. Is there anyone else? Larry are you coming for dinner or just the show? Fred are you coming for dinner or you will just be there for the 9pm show?

If we do dinner I suggest sometime around 4:30 (4pm if we go to Arties on 83rd). 4:30 will give us plenty of time to eat, socialize and then get to 72nd by 6:30 ish so we can get settled for the show.

If we don't do dinner and just meet at the theatre at 6:30, that's fine too. I'm just throwing out suggestions.

I am not joining you for dinner; I have no money until my social security arrives in my bank on Wednesday. This is, to be quite frank, a really bad weekend for me

Of DR Ben's dinner suggestions, I like Utopia, because of the varied menu and proximity to the Triad.

Sounds good. Now we have to hear from Deb and then the 5 of us can meet there around 4:15 or 4:30

Our 3 pm afternoon work meeting got moved to next week, so I'd love to join you guys for dinner.

Good morning, all.

Fairly productive morning, all far. Written a feature story on a chef's new black garlic company and have managed to get some other work done.

Okay, Ben!

Last night, I ushered a production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Excellent. Great performance from the guy playing George. The Martha was distractingly wigged to look like Liz Taylor, but not in the move of Virginia Woolf.

Only about 100 people showed up, including about 30 students, but they were quiet and attentive throughout the long three hours of the show.

Camera!

I am now enrolled for 2015....for some reason even though I only worked six months this year instead of twelve, my subsidy decreased by almost $80 per month. My new plan has a much higher deductible.....and the co-pays are a bit more.....but it's FREE for me....the best one that is available to me....so I enrolled.

Can't sleep. Would you believe they were drilling the street (47th) till a few minutes ago ? I woke up at about 1:45 am and called the front desk. The guy said it took them by surprise but he could see why the city approved it since Saturday is a matinee day ! He said they had put a call in to the non -emergency number, 311. I don't know if that's why it stopped but I hope I can go back to sleep.

Just put on a Streisand album (or BB) and you will be fine.

I'm not sure how to take that, TCB!

TOD:

Too many to choose from. My first Broadway show, 42nd Street, will always be special. But the very next day I saw Nine and My One and Only. How can you choose?

Later shows, on Broadway and on tour, with special meaning include Sunday in the Park with George, Side Show, Once on This Island, Dreamgirls and Ragtime.

John G. · « **Reply #74 on:** November 15, 2014, 08:20:06 AM »

Now to try to get everything else done.

I'll just throw in my first Broadway show, too: HELLO, DOLLY! with Ginger Rogers (and later, with Carol Channing, on tour.)

I'm up, I'm up - I do believe I actually got eight hours of sleep.

I think I'll go get some fruit and a drink whilst they clean the room

I caught lots of national tours in Cincinnati, and I remember most, but not all, fondly: I was not crazy about Channing in the pre-Broadway Lorelei but i remember very well Camelot, with Arthur Treacher as Pellinore, Hello Dolly! with a radiant Mary Martin, No No Nanette, The Sound of Music, Cabaret, Godspell and The Magic Show, which I adored, as well as the Lincoln Center tours of Carousel with John Raitt and Susan Watson, and Kismet with Alfred Drake and Anne Jeffreys. Some tours, like Man of La Mancha and 1776 didn't hold a candle to their Broadway productions at all.

My first "Broadway" show was still off-Broadway at Union Square in 1966, the original production of Man of La Mancha on Dec. 26, 1966. I remember it vividly. Since then, I've seen the good, bad and ugly on and off Broadway. And missed several that I wished I'd seen as well!

So I shall join DR CHAS SMITH in good company, and then DR GINNY will join us.....the happy sixty-fives.

I think DR RLP said that he had applied for SS earlier this month, too.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #80 on:** November 15, 2014, 08:42:23 AM »

LOL DR ELMORE - we all miss the ones that got away.

My first Broadway show is hard to beat - original cast CABARET, summer 1967.

FJL · « **Reply #82 on:** November 15, 2014, 08:44:25 AM »

Speaking of show sthat aren;t the same as Broadway, they're doing a scaled-down CAMELOT at regional theaters now. It's lovingly being called Cam-e-Little.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #83 on:** November 15, 2014, 08:44:29 AM »

Oh....one more touring show MASTER CLASS with Miss Faye Dunaway.....which was delayed 45 minutes because she had forgotten she fired her hair dresser in Cincinnati, and they had to find someone to come in and do her coiffure.

But she WAS fantastic in the show.....the next day she went on local television and said the delay was due to the crew working on the spot light......

FJL · « **Reply #84 on:** November 15, 2014, 08:44:51 AM »

That's not a joke, the scaled-down version really is going around.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #85 on:** November 15, 2014, 08:44:54 AM »

HA!!!!

I went to the library this morning. The parking was really bad as it is in the same parking lot as the indoor skating rink and pool. Super crowded. And it was so cold. I wish they had parking spots just for the library. There are eight 30 minute parking spots right at the front. But they were all full today.

Brrr it is super cold out today!

FJL · « **Reply #87 on:** November 15, 2014, 08:45:58 AM »

They had done a scaled-down 10-actor My fair Lady, so i guess a scaled-down Camelot was inevitable.

OK. 4:15 in front of Utopia on Amsterdam between 72nd and 73rd. I don't have Deb's cell phone number so if someone who has it could call her and tell her the dinner plans then we are all connected.
