[Ginny]

Richard and I are going to a noontime holiday sing-along at the church where we were married.

[Ginny]

TOD:

We recorded PETER PAN LIVE.

Now, after reading the less than glowing reviews, I'm not sure I want to invest 3 hours in it.

 

Skip the commercials, DR Druxy, and you only have to invest 2 hours...

[Jennifer]

DR Laura I see that Peter Pan is up on nbc.com.

[John G.]

TOD:
Sandy Bainum’s "It Might Be Fun". I swear, that really is what's in my car CD player right now.

Mine, too - really!

Listened to it this morning at home.

[John G.]

DR Laura I see that Peter Pan is up on nbc.com.

Thanks. I have no idea when I'll have time to watch it, but it's good to know it's there.

TOD:

CD: Sandy Bainum....It Might Be Fun and This Christmas

DVD: O

[Jrand74]

I had some chores on my list to do today, so I finished them!!!

[Jrand74]

LIVE WISE I have only seen Cathy Rigby as Peter Pan.....but it was a very fun evening of theatre...and Cathy was wonderful.

I love the Sandy Duncan clip....there was everything in that clip that was missing from last night's broadcast....nobody seemed to be having any fun.

I did like Mrs. Darling, and grown up Wendy, and Smee......but everyone else was kind of off....Peter didn't seem so magical and certainly didn't play the spirit of YOUTH that he should be.  Hook was off the charts.....I'm still not sure about him....and Smee pulled him out of the weeds several times.....

It was okay.....but fairly charmless....and those Lost Boys must have fallen out of their carriages A LONG TIME AGO!

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours thanks to NyQuil.

[Laura]

JRand, do you think it is because they did not use stage actors for many of the lead roles?

[bk]

Yes, I read several posts from people who liked the show - that part was fine.  Not fine was saying (and they said it loud and clear) "And I loved the buff and sexy chorus boys."  Really?  Peter Pan?  No.

[bk]

Glad to hear Sandy is in the players - do post thoughts if you haven't.

[Elan]

Just caught the first 30 minutes of Peter Pan on nbc.com. So far, looks competent but bland. Really very hard to capture the joy of the stage production on film, and the long camera takes are technically impressive but don't add anything, IMHO.

[Druxy]

I just heard on the radio that PETER PAN LIVE was a major ratings disappointment.  It did about half of what THE SOUND OF MUSIC did last year.

On the other hand, maybe other people like me recorded it for later viewing.

[bk]

I was led to believe it did better than The Sound of Music - maybe I read that wrong?

[bk]

Druxy is right - about half the audience from last year.  Of course they're saying that was expected.  Well, producers, it wasn't expected - that was never said in advance of this broadcast.  That is - spin.

[Michael]

Yes, I read several posts from people who liked the show - that part was fine.  Not fine was saying (and they said it loud and clear) "And I loved the buff and sexy chorus boys."  Really?  Peter Pan?  No.

I thought that was sarcasm as the lost boys were in their 20's and not boys.

I haven't seen it yet but did the Daling parents at the end adopt the buff and sexy chorus boys/lost boys?

[Michael]

I will watch Peter Pan and keep my finger on the fast forward or delete if necessary

No, what I read on the All That Chat board was from idiots who were drooling over the sexy buff chorus boys.  No sarcasm, and completely disgusting when discussing Peter Pan.

[Jrand74]

Yes DR MIKE, they did.

[Jrand74]

Since we are doing INTO THE WOODS in August, I thought I would buy a copy of the Broadway revival.....2002 or so.....and I found a copy on Amazon for $2.99

It arrived today.  It is a nice package.....I hope I like it.

DR LAURA....I'm not sure what it was....DR ELAN used the word bland, and I guess that's a good description.  And if you watched the clip that MR BK posted of Sandy Duncan.....you can see just the OPPOSITE!  It must be hard to do the show without an audience....and I didn't HATE it....it's just that on TV in your face...the shortcomings are much more obvious.

Theatre performances MIGHT have been TOO much.

[George]

Friday morning greetings!  I got home from book group last night in time to see about half of PETER PAN.  It was OK, but I think it was over-promoted, which takes away some of the magic.

I'd like to be added to DR George's "list."

You're on it!

[George]

George - so glad your show is going so well!

Thanks, Fred!  Of course, we only just opened last night, so we'll see how the rest of the run goes.

Druxy, would you want a DVD with the commercials cut out?  It's not hi-def, but...no commercials to even fast-forward through.

[George]

DR Laura I see that Peter Pan is up on nbc.com.

Thanks. I have no idea when I'll have time to watch it, but it's good to know it's there.

John, do you want a DVD to watch at your leisure?

[Jrand74]

Nice link DR GEORGE.  I like the original movie....but it does go off in a strange direction or two...

I thank you for the offer.  We'll probably watch it off the DVR this weekend, so we can avoid the commercials. 

If I love it, I'll take you up on the offer.

So, the reviewer who didn't like The Brain From Planet X (he's wrong) really liked The HEAD! That Wouldn't Die!  HERE is his official review.

FYI:  I got a mention, but he said that I was the Stage Manager.  I'm not.  I'm the Sound Board Operator.

[TCB]

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours thanks to NyQuil.

BK, are you still suffering from a cold?  If not, you should betaking ZzzQuil, instead of NyQuil.

[TCB]

One more.
