I love HELLO, DOLLY! In 1965, I saw the national tour wth Mary Martin. Since then, I have seen Ginger Rogers in Dec. 1966 (I was underwhelmed) and Carol Channing several times.

I was saddened to learn this morning that Darrell Brown, one of my alternating Charlie Browns in 1976(?) has died. He was a really wonderful man, and my heart goes out to his family. He was a true mensch.

DR MICHAEL - that 'note' make me wants to punch that director in the nose.

Continued travel vibes for DR KEVIN H - perhaps he will soon make it out of the airport.

I have said it before - here and elsewhere - there is NO play, NO musical so great that it cannot be absolutely ruined by a stupid director with a "vision."

If you don't understand or trust the material - don't DIRECT THE DAMNED SHOW!!!!

Of course something interesting can be achieved by tweaking here and there.....but......it's not YOUR show....you didn't create it....so stop trying to make it YOURS!

Especially something like HELLO, DOLLY!

This announced revival with Bette Midler terrifies me. I think she will be great but God knows about the "concept" or the direction.

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.

The only thing I read about the Dolly revival is that the choreography will honor Mr. Champion, probably in the same way the Pippin revival honored Mr. Fosse "in the style of".

Sunday afternoon greetings! We are back from Trinity Reformed Episcopal Church in Mason, OH, where Mary Linda was the altar guild and Fr. Richard was the visiting priest. I was the chauffeur.

I had not kept in touch with Darrell, but was saddened to read of his passing in this morning's paper. Here he is as Charlie Brown, during the opening number:

The soup is finished. As soon as it cools down, i can freeze a lot of it and clean up the stove. My apartment smells wonderful, just like my grandmother's kitchen.

We went for a 6.5 mile walk. I dressed for summer when it isn't summer. I was rather chilly for the first few miles. By the end of the walk I was glad I had not taken a sweater.
