MattH, I am sorry that I missed the fact that today was the opening of SOMETHING'S AFOOT.

A belated Break A Leg, and here's hoping that the show keeps getting better!

How many posts are required to become a frenzy?

Don't remember much about the Justice incident.  

Listening to Donald's radio show about the musicals done at the Royal National in London. He mentions Olivier Award winner David Healy who won for playing Nicely-Nicely in the '82 production of  GUYS & DOLLS.  David that same year was cast as Dr. Watson in my two Sherlock Holmes films, SIGN OF FOUR & HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES.   Unfortunately, much of HOUND was shot on location  in Dartmoor and David couldn't get out of his contract with the National.  So after playing Watson in SIGN, we had to replace him with Donald Churchill for HOUND.  David was actually an American from Texas who was married to a British woman.  I did not see this famed production of G & D, because it being my first time in London, I was going to see typical "British" theatre and didn't want to see American musicals.  Donald is wrong about the space between the time the National did A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC & their next musical which he says was OKLAHOMA (I saw both of these by the way, though OKLAHOMA had transferred to the West End by the time I saw.  LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC I saw on the Olivier stage with Dench, Philips,and Hodge).  In between these musicals, the National did yet another revival of GUYS & DOLLS.  This one I did see, with powerhouse Clive Rowe playing Nicely-Nicely.  He must have done five or six encores of SIT DOWN YOUR ROCKING THE BOAT, the night we saw it.  We actually had a hard time getting seats for it and our pal, actor Jason Isaacs, pulled some strings for us and got us excellent house seats.  It was also a huge hit.

I don't remember whether VILLAIN'S OPERA was done before OKLAHOMA or not, but it too was a musical, an updating of BEGGAR'S OPERA about London's East End crime world.  I don't think it was a hit, but the lovely wife, Julieanne, and I were mesmerized by it...It also featured the charismatic Mr. Rowe.

Healy, by the by, was a lovely nice man.  He passed away a few years back.

That's all well and good, but do you find Eric Benet "gorgeous"?

Well, as the saying goes "I wouldn't kick him out of bed"

However, he is no Patrick Warburton.

Okay - about my fiance, Mr. Benet... "Gorgeous" for me means sexy, outstanding in the looks department -- which this guy IN PERSON - not in the photos posted - is. For one thing, he no longer has a beard and he has very sexy lips and a sexy swagger. I do not find him terribly attractive for me personally - but I can see why Halle and all the other women he beds do. He is no Cary Grant, true, but who is?

As for using fan and Kimmel (no relation) in the same breath, I was being facetious about the hundreds of Kimmel (no relation) fans on the site. It's not really necessary to explain that, is it?

I had a fabulous evening tonight. My landlady and her husband had a great time and Uncle Frank - who is a 71-year-old retired New York cop who was, among other things, Sinatra's body guard for 4 years - was a true character who told stories non-stop for an hour.

The Dear Father and The Dear Stepmother left late this morning and drove down to Sandy Eggo, from where their Panama Canal cruise was to depart this evening at 8 pm.

I spent the day on a tour of Craftsman houses in two Pasadena neighborhoods and this evening at Take Me Out.

I am, as they say in certain corners, to pooped to pop.  I think I shall retire now and check in tomorrow morning when I will be, for certain, in a far more chipper state than I am right now!

I was out most of the day. This evening DH and I went for a walk around the ballpark and watched the owls and nighthawks fly and hunt.  I live such an exciting life.

Not sure that I'll be able to concentrate enough to peruse the posts of the past month or so either.  I may need a complete  refresher course as to the current state of HHW relationships and localities.

I think my "Woman In White" stories made it to the site. It really was the worst professional musical I have ever attended. Nothing to recommend it. IMAX theatre with totally forgettable music and lyrics - the only song I remember is the old Christmas carol "The Holly And The Ivy". This show made "The Beautiful Game" look like a masterpiece of theatre.

At least I can still remember to "mini frenzy".

Happy Birthday to all those DRs who celebrated in the  past five weeks.
