ChasSmith, I have not hopped on the Kelli O'Hara bandwagon. I don't dislike her, but I also don't find much of anything special about her, either. And that opinion has lessened since I've heard "Bridges of Madison County" in which her fake accent evaporates way too often.

Yet I hear she's wonderful in this "King and I" revival.

TOD:

I had really wanted to see Karen Akers in Nine, but Maureen McGovern had taken over the role by the time I went. This was my first visit to New York. Not only was McGovern the perfect Luisa, she was also very gracious at the stage door after the show.

That's not really an understudy story, though.

I guess the real understudy story is one I've told here before, where the director had to fill in for the leading lady in "The Merry Wives of Windsor" at the local Shakespeare in the Park. She carried the script behind a fan, but she was more wonderful than the actress who normally played the part. A perfect evening of theater that, more than 30 years later, remains vivid in memory.

Vixmom, I would love to come to the Island of Long.

As long as you don't confuse it with Island of Long Pig...

That juror is as big a liar as Jodi Arias and her defense team DR JOHN G. I saw that she was giving an interview even though she was afraid for her life because of the "threats" she was receiving.....

Finally after the sentencing on April 13, we will be rid of all of this craziness.

JRand, I don't know why you think she is lying. It sounds like she answered all the questions they asked beforehand. I doubt they asked if any of her family members had been prosecuted by that prosecutor.

I can see myself as being the quiet one on a jury. And I might even be the holdout on a death penalty case. Or any case, actually. The bullying that must go on in a jury room is incredible. And their names should never ever be published.

Very few people really want to be on a jury. You are threatened with arrest if you don't show up.

So what's in store for today? Mostly stuff around the house which will be nice to ketchup on. Accompanied by music. I'll get back to Paint Your Wagon, for sure, and then some Zorba, for which I now have the 1983 revival album as well.

I love Debbie Shapiro (now Gravitte) as The Woman on the revival recording. I also love Lorraine Serabian on the original recording, too. and I love the opening number, "Life Is," and how they each sing it.

I have a rehearsal tonight at 6:30......so I am hoping that I get a call that my car is ready sometime today.....then I just have to find someone to take me to pick it up.

Tonight I get to see the entire show for the first time....it should be most interesting, and I hope - entertaining.

Jrand, Break Legs at your rehearsal tonight! For "Laughing Stock" tonight, we'll be running act one and it's the first night that we're supposed to be off book!

I'm not quite there yet...kind of close, but not perfect and certainly not secure. Tomorrow night we're off book for act two, so I have a slight reprieve.

Still trying to wrap my mind around DR Jane's curious reference: "...my impersonal socks".

ChasSmith · « **Reply #43 on:** March 16, 2015, 12:41:47 PM »

Perhaps it's best we don't "go there", DR Ron.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #44 on:** March 16, 2015, 12:43:44 PM »

Possibly. Still, I can't get the idea of impersonal clothing items out of my head.

John G. · « **Reply #45 on:** March 16, 2015, 12:54:11 PM »

Why would clothing need impersonals? Do they write a lot of notes?

The understudy went on for Michelle Williams when I saw Cabaret. She was very good- don't know her name. Also, when I saw Pippin a couple of months ago in DC the understudy did the role of the Ringmaster (is that what she's called?)

KevinH · « **Reply #48 on:** March 16, 2015, 01:42:46 PM »

I don't know if he was considered the understudy or standby, but I first saw George Dvorsky when he went on for Douglas Sills in "The Scarlet Pimpernel." He was great! And I've seen him several times since.

I am home from City Center - Josh tells me orchestra parts were fine - and Chelsea Music. I did nod a bit, and I am very sleepy at the moment. Tomorrow I spend my day at City Center: afternoon dress rehearsal, which I look forward to immensely.

A photographer friend is visiting Cuba and she passed along this photo.

Back from a rehearsal and then lunch at Nate 'n' Al's. I think I'm two songs away from being finished with the Kritzerland show song choices. It's a weird show because the cast is different than we normally do, which is two boys, three girls and a guest star. This time it's one boy, two girls, three kids and a guest star, with the guest star, JoAnne Worley, doing two songs. So, even though we're really light one performer this time, it's still sixteen songs, maybe seventeen if I decide to do a What If.

Actually, I've found store bought pumpkin is usually better than my homemade lol

I will remember that if I have to make a traditional pumpkin pie. When I made them fresh I made a fluffy texture using egg whites. It was different and I preferred it to traditional pumpkin pie.

DR Cilla I'm glad you are feeling better.

Good morning. I get to go birdwatching today! I don't have to sit in a courtroom and judge someone. Yay!

Yay! I am looking forward to photos.

I agree their names should never be published. I would not want to grant an interview if I was on a jury.
