And I am home from the matinee of Bright Star, which was frozen after I last saw it. I think it's an absolutely beautiful show and I love the score. An elderly couple next to me in the balcony, who appear to see everything and loved Something Wicked, kept saying at intermission, the TIMES will hate it; this won't run. I think they're wrong.

I ran into Norman Weiss, who conducted the COLETTE COLLAGE recording, on the subway. He was seeing the same matinee. The Bright Star producers had invited the casts of Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables. Norman's been playing keyboard in Phantom for 20+ years now!

Rest in Peace, Ken Howard. Dead at age 71.

Oh, no.

elmore asked to see a sample of the Day Runners - here are two, one from 1972 and one from 1975.

I was wondering if that's what they looked like. I used to have a monthly pocket calendar and I've seen things like this, but I never needed the hourly detail.

Rest in Peace, Joe Garagiola !

Asked about Ken Howard and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Patricia Routledge told Leonard Bernstein's assistant Charlie Harmon, That man was never sober!

There seem to be a LOT of people dying in the first three months of this year.

It sure does.

Full moon tonight.

very interesting to see the DayRunners in actuality! Very convenient.

Did a first pass show order that seems pretty good to me - we'll see how I feel a bit later - if I like it then I'll start the commentary.

Well, this is interesting...James Lapine Premiere and New Musicals Set for Signature Season:

Quote

As previously announced, Signature will partner with Disney Theatricals in October for the world premiere of Freaky Friday, based on the celebrated Mary Rodgers novel and popular Disney films. The new musical is by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, the Pulitzer Prize-winning team behind Next to Normal and If/Then, with a book by Bridget Carpenter. Two-time Tony nominee Christopher Ashley will direct the production with choreography by Sergio Trujillo. Performances are scheduled to run October 4-November 20.

I would assume that they're not going to use Mary Rodgers' own song, "At The Same Time," which was recorded (for the first time ever?) by BK.

But then in the very next paragraph:

Quote

In November, [Eric] Schaeffer will helm the world premiere of Silver Bells, a new musical billed as a “raucous send up of small town Christmas pageantry” starring Donna Migliaccio, Nova Y. Payton, Naomi Jacobson, Sandy Bainum and Ilona Dulaski.

Has anyone read "The Secret Chord"?

Looking forward to both shows at the Signature Theatre. Of course it'll be a long wait.

I love that song! And the singers are perfect!

Thanks for the comments yesterday about the organizations I'm involved with. I've always volunteered for that sort of thing. I really like it.

DR Jane, having loved PEOPLE OF THE BOOK, a couple of my book club friends and I started THE SECRET CHORD and none of us could get into it.

I am soooo relieved to hear this. I think the writing is beautiful but I am rather bored. After I posted my question I decided to begin another library book and return to Chord later. Maybe I won't return to it

Jane · « **Reply #81 on:** March 23, 2016, 05:57:10 PM »

I've read almost half of the book. It seems a shame to stop now.

It's gone from very warm to a blizzard, It rained all day and I don't think anyone really thought it would snow. It's snowing all right

Jane · « **Reply #83 on:** March 23, 2016, 06:01:49 PM »

I'm reading The Long Way Home (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #10) by Louise Penny and am much happier.

Page three? Really?

George · « **Reply #85 on:** March 23, 2016, 06:47:20 PM »

Yikes! I almost forgot that I need to leave work and get to the theater. I'm running sound for a show. I'll have my tablet with me, so maybe I'll have a moment or two to post. Otherwise...

Be back later!
