I am happy to see that Richard Sherman is getting back to fine fettle.




Me too!

Home, and dead tired from a long afternoon at the high school.  But we got through a lot of FISH OUT OF WATER, and that's good. 

The bad things were that they had set up a completely wrong keyboard and amp instead of the brand new Kurzweils, etc.  I opted to make do, and all will be rectified next time.  And then I, Genius, managed to tear a hole in my thumb opening a door.  Don't ask.  Fortunately, it's not the side of the thumb you tinkle the ivories with.

Well, it's time for me to leave and go to the theater.  We have a special performance tonight, so it should be good.

Until later.

Laura I was deeply sorry to hear about Joshie.  I lost my Bandit at 15 years the same way, it's been 16 years and I still expect to see him

COME FROM AWAY is quite a show - I laughed, I cried, I clapped.  The cast members double, triple, and more in multiple roles and it's so subtle Richard didn't catch some of it.

DR Vixmom, I forgot to give you the discount coupon on Saturday.  I'll mail it to you.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, too. Outside of The New Yorkers, it was the best show I saw in New York.

I don't know that it had a great score (unlike The New Yorkers), but the storytelling was just so good. And I admit I cried, too.

They were astonishing.

I first saw Revelations 32 years ago when I lived in Middletown and the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company staged it.

But tonight was something else. These dancers were so in control of their bodies that the images were just awe-inspiring.

And the sold-out crowd was rapt. The best behaved crowd I can remember, and we had some odd rules for folks tonight.

Nobody could enter the theater after a dance started. If they weren't in their seats when the dance started, they had to take the nearest seat to them until an intermission (there were two). Nothing to distract the dancers.

The opening piece, The Winter in Lisbon, was a joyous tribute to Dizzy Gillespie and was so crazy good that I could have watched it all evening. There were some ballroom-style steps to the music -- mambo, swing, salsa -- that I enjoyed.

Starting to watch the Theatre du Chatalet's production of Einstein on the Beach. I've never seen this and as I watch it, I realize I don't really need to see it, but it sounds so good. And I have loved this score ever since I found a recording at the Middletown Public Library.

I'm not thrilled with everything Glass has written, but I just find this music hypnotic and it sounds great in surround.
