Well, you've read the notes, the notes had art and did a take, and now it is time for you to post until the arty cows come home.

It sure is fun and heartwarming to read about Sami's growth as a performer, as in today's notes.

I don't have much going on this weekend. That will be a nice change.

TOD: For songs - I remember in Boston seeing "Woman of the Year" in its tryout, there were several laughs in "The Grass is Always Greener" that actually covered quite a fewof the following lines. After "You can have my husband" "I've already had your husband" the laughter had built so that it lasted until the button of the number, followed by the wild applause for the song. (I don't recall the same duration of laughter when I saw the show in New York.)

For dialogue, the longest laugh I can remember (which erupted into rippling sustained applause) was in the Kennedy Center MAME, when Mother Burnside made her entrance looking so distressed over her son's engagement to Mame, and said "What do you mean I don't look happy, Beauregard?" The timing was exquisite, and you could feel the power of such a big laugh on an audience - the laugh at her entrance seemed to energize the whole scene which followed. (Mary Stout played Mother Burnside, Eric Schaeffer was the director.)

Good morning, all! My nephew Matt is about to become a father and Jo is throwing a shower for thirty people. Randy and I have been ordered to get lost after 12:30 so we are going shopping, and he is going to give me a tutorial on this Toyota I am driving.

Good. You should at least get your money's worth.

I had to look up the character name for this one.

In what basically a very dismal show the musical version of The Goodbye Girl had a character Ricky Simpson which was basically a spoof and a vey wicked one of Richard Simpson. The audience was laughing so hard and long at the scene and character that nothing in the rest of the show match it. The old adage was true I laugh until it hurt.

I'll agree. I saw it in NYC and Marilyn Cooper and the scene was the best thing about the show.

Good morning, all.

I was in the deepest sleep having an epic dream of an intensity I haven't seen in a while, and when I suddenly awoke from it I felt like the proverbial truck had run over me. Might have slept a little bit longer, but felt it better to get the hell out of bed and shake it all off.

Coffee!

Also Act Two of Noises Off was a laugh fest from curtain up to curtain down.

Which didn't happen in the film version

Wife Sandy and I listened to the WELCOME TO MY WORLD CD last night.

Terrific stuff! Really enjoyed it.

Of course, we haven't seen it live, but the only problem with this show (as I see it) is that, because it's about a 14-year old girl, you're going to have to re-cast it every couple of years.

But, I guess they had to do that with ANNIE, too.

Any chance of your filming a full video production of the show?

Here's the trailer for my new 3 play anthology, THE HOLLYWOOD SCANDALS.

Enjoy!

Saturday morning greetings! Cold & rainy in SW Ohio today - perfect for staying in to watch Michigan football and roast a chicken for dinner.

She of the Evil Eye is here and I have to leave. The problem is my tummy feels terrible so I don't think I should be eating anything this morning - I don't want to just go sit and have a soda, so I'm in a quandary. Driving probably isn't the best thing to do either. There is a book fair today in Pasadena, but I'm not in that mode right now.

Jane · « **Reply #25 on:** October 03, 2015, 09:02:11 AM »

Tell her you don't feel well and stay home, or go sit by the pool with a book.

I'll go sit in Jerry's and see how I feel - if I can't eat I'll have a ginger ale.

Jane · « **Reply #28 on:** October 03, 2015, 09:15:03 AM »

Drink the soda very slowly as too much can make you hurt more.
