TOD -

Les Miserables - November 1, 1990 -Curran Theatre, SF.    Major life changing event for me.   First professional musical ever.   Followed by The Phantom of the Opera in September, 1991 at the Ahmanson in LA.

My life was changed for good. (Wicked reference!)

Or, for heaven's sake...

Now, SONY wants us to purchase all of our movies in yet again ANOTHER format? ULTRA HD BLU-RAY?
Give me a break!

 :P , I say!    :P

I saw one of the first out-of-town tryouts for that with Carol Channing, Leslie Uggams and Andrea McArdle in the cast. Fun show, if the cast is into it. I saw a community production where the girl didn't seem to have a clue who Nelson was or that she was supposed to be Jeanette.

How I wish the show was the same as that tour - which the recording represents - but it changed for Broadway and it's not as good.  We'll do our best with the material and for goodness sake, will know the back story of each song and any names that are mentioned!!!

Home Sweet Home, except the Iguassu airport decided to keep our luggage even though we checked it 2 hours prior to our flight.

Strong vibes it arrives intact with our belongings would be greatly appreciated.

We need to buy veggies and tofu, plus a few other essentials.

Jane, tofu is never an essential. Ever.

But I am sending luggage vibes.

JERRY'S GIRLS on Broadway was one of the worst things I ever had to endure as an audience member. It was a glorified bad cabaret act.

I agree.  I've seen footage of the show and was not impressed with what could have been a great show with all that great music.   Hopefully ours will be more of a dedication to Jerry's work, which is what it should be

Thursday afternoon greetings!  I have been out and about all day getting ready to go to Boston tomorrow.  Had my hair cut this morning, then shopped a bit for Mom and visited with her for a while.  Did some grocery shopping so Richard doesn't starve while I'm gone, but I bought neither veggies nor tofu.

In a week of a lot of bad news, this was enjoyable, especially given how much I admire and love HAMILTON:  Someone had quoted a HAMILTON parody of mine to Lin Manuel Miranda, and I just saw that Mr. Miranda had tweeted

My friend and long time publicity client, Pat Harrington, Jr. has passed away.

I mainly remember him from "One Day at a Time," but I remember that I really liked that show and him in it.
