Pearl Bailey and the all-black cast of HELLO, DOLLY!  Was earth-shattering in its day.  It was also the very first show I ever saw on Broadway.  The show was magical and the St. James Theater remains my favorite Broadway theater.

It might also be the virgin tiramisu.  He soaked the lady fingers in espresso so perhaps I have too much caffeine in my system.

Perhaps I should read the latest TV Guide.  That should put me to sleep.

Whatever else happens or doesn't happen, I need to check train schedules and just generally plan my day in the city tomorrow.

The notes made me want to get out my Pearl Bailey cast recording which I haven't listened to in a hundred years.  I wonder what shape it's in.  And my Mary Martin one.  Should be good, but let's make sure.

BK

I got a better one for you with the "reimagining" by a director.

Someone posted on Facebook a page from a program "The Director's Notes" for a production of the musical TITANIC.

He MOVED THE TIME FROM 1912 to the late 20's!! I kid you not. He gave his reasons for doing so. It's starts in the 3rd paragraph.
 The person who posted this was kind because he removed the director's name from the image

Last night I checked for frequent flyer awards on Alaska and only first class seats for 60,000 miles were available. No coach seats.

So this morning I just thought I'd check and was happy to see they had a first class seat for 25,000 miles.  I grabbed it.  I now arrive at 11:45 am.

Oh, yes.  I'll lose my 12,500 Delta miles, but it's worth it.

My first time to NYC was in 1969.  My mother, brother, and sister and I went for a weekend. We already had tickets for Mame with Ann Miller, which I loved. I remember seeing the marquee for Hello, Dolly! with Pearl Bailey.  I wish I had seen the show !

"When I was a child I was never allowed to watch the hit film Titanic..."

The director was a child in 1997.

There's our first of many problems.

I was out of the apartment at 8:00 this morning for a market run.  I am home, no plans to leave the remainder of the day.  I have everything I need t make chicken soup, and I will shortly begin that.

I plan to chill out in the AC and work on the Act One edits for GUYS & DOLLS.
