I am enjoying Grease Live on Fox!

bk · « **Reply #123 on:** January 31, 2016, 06:42:39 PM »

Is Grease actually airing anywhere live? No reports?

bk · « **Reply #124 on:** January 31, 2016, 06:48:49 PM »

Here's a little "secret" for you - the screaming teen audience members for Grease Live? Hired. Paid.

FJL · « **Reply #125 on:** January 31, 2016, 06:50:11 PM »

They look well-rehearsed.

I do love that people posting think the audience and the reaction is real. The reaction (people LOVING it) is so predictable. It's always the same people. And then when the next one is on they forget they loved this one - last time they LOVED The Wiz. Now The Wiz was just okay but THIS is great. The same damn people every time.

Whoever said this is more like the movie musical than the stage musical is on target, I think.

BK - Once you saw a certain amount of detail and precision in the movements of the onlookers, you knew they weren't your typical studio audience for a stage show. But it doesn't seem they were trying to fool anyone.

Interesting that the director of HAMILTON chose this as his project coming off HAMILTON's great success.

Oh dear. First of all, have they instructed this real audience to not laugh at any dialogue, but just to scream on cue. Otherwise there would have been applause and laughs in the principal's speech and the song that goes with it.

FJL · « **Reply #130 on:** January 31, 2016, 07:26:04 PM »

Hoping they fix the sound issues at the top of the show, for the West Coast and the DVD.

But for me it's deadly. The mix is terrible, the background vocals are, of course, pre-recorded, as is the band. These idiots, the usual suspects, are acting like the audience reaction is energizing everyone, but there IS no audience reaction until the ends of numbers.

FJL · « **Reply #132 on:** January 31, 2016, 07:28:11 PM »

BK - Are they supposed to be an audience or onlookers in the scene?

(except at the ends of songs, which seemed to work, and for during the "dream" part of Freddy My Love, where they're clearly an audience.

We briefly watched it in our hotel room.

Welcome home Vixmom.

We had a wonderful evening and hope to return again for another show.

Jane · « **Reply #136 on:** January 31, 2016, 07:55:25 PM »

First we met DR George in lobby before the show.

Jane · « **Reply #137 on:** January 31, 2016, 08:01:44 PM »

The play was as good as DR TCB said, and as expected he was excellent. We enjoyed it very much. Our DR TCB is very talented.

BK: I just spoke with Kate. She tried to do what George said, but she didn't have the choice of "send me a new password" or "I'll answer my secret question." It just said that a password would be sent to her. She checked and it hadn't been sent yet. Is it sent automatically or do you have to send it?

I wonder if the browser that she uses would make a difference. Does she have a different browser on her computer that she could try?

I'm recording and just started watching GREASE and BK's close and personal friend Barry Pearl was just on!

Before I forget, here's the first picture that I took of Jane and Keith at the restaurant, before TCB got there:

I had the most relaxing weekend out of town. The weather was perfect, in the low 80s, with a nice breeze throughout. I slept 11 hours on Saturday and still took a short nap in the afternoon. I read a book, I didn't turn on my computer. I ate barbecue. And I chatted with friends over some good vino. All in all, most welcome.

George · « **Reply #148 on:** January 31, 2016, 09:10:56 PM »

Here's the next picture that I took, but with me!

This is a feature on my tablet.

Across the street from my friends house on Fort Clark Springs is a theater where a band of German musicians from across the state gathered to played waltzes and oompah music. The whole area seemed to turn out for the concert, which we could hear while sitting ont he front porch. Charming, but not my kind of music. My mother would have loved it.
