I've gotten two songs from songwriter Michelle Brourman - she's terrific.  These were things she had, but both are LA songs and appropriate.  But I told her I really wanted to have something specifically written for this - I may well use these two, but I'm hoping she comes up with another one just for us.

Topic of the Day:

Brigadoon:  in college, it was the very first musical that I acted in, and as mean and dictatorial the director was, I loved every minute of it

Man of La Mancha:  the very first show that I performed in here in Olympia, my hometown, after graduating college; the second time I performed in this was the first time I had done two different productions of the same show AND the first time that I played a main character (Sancho Panza)

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown:  the first (and so far only) time that I played a title character

Shows seen in New York:
Swinging On a Star: The Johnny Burke Musical (the very first show I saw on Broadway!)

Victor/Victoria:  I saw Julie Andrews live (BEFORE her botched vocal surgery)

:)

TOD. 

1776 my first  Broadway show..... I was hooked

The Mikado ... We put this on at my high school. We had an amazing chorus that year including a 6'4" baritone  looking back on it I realized that the chorus Teacher probably arranged the entire production because she had that student.   To was the first show I worked on... I was part of th lighting crew    Because of this I became part of the theatre crew at college

Fifteen pages.  Break time, and since I just finished page 100 I think I can stop there for tonight, unless I'm inspired to mush on later.

Continuing with Eric Rohmer for another evening. Tonight it's The Bakery Girl from Monceau, the first of his Moral Tales. Could be my January fixation.

T.O.D.


Richard Burton as HAMLET. (1960 or 61?)  It was at that moment that I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. And through trials and triumphs , I have done just that.

Kay Cole's schedule is too busy for her to do the LA show so she's dropped out.  But I'm rather thrilled to say that to replace her I got Adam Cates, the choreographer of The Brain in NY and the associate choreographer of the Tony-winning Gentleman's Guide to Murder.  Very exciting.


That is great news.

Jane, tofu is never an essential. Ever.

But I am sending luggage vibes.




Thanks for the vibes.

Keith fried up tofu and we each made our own salad.   SO, SOOOOO good!

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.

Safe and easy travel vibes and have a great time!

Too bad he won't be eating lots of veggies and tofu.  Not getting them can be the most difficult part of traveling for us, that and long flights on planes.


Jane has returned feisty.
