THE SITTING AND NOT STANDING NOTES
« on: June 04, 2017, 12:23:16 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were sitting notes, not standing notes, and now it is time for you to post until the sitting and not standing cows come home.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Me, too.  I'd read good things about it and not so good things about it...but mostly good things about it.

Here's a free-for-all question that BK or DR Elmore might be able to answer.  I'm also checking with DR Elmore's friend at Music Theatre International, who's a wonderful and helpful source, and I just thought I'd get a jump on it right here.

It appears MTI only licenses I Do! I Do! in a duo-piano version, and I'm going to be MD'ing and playing a small production of that this fall.  I've been listening to BK's 1996 cast recording on Varese, and I really like the arrangement, so my hope is that that's exactly what they send out.  Anyone know for sure?

I saw a very fine production of MORNING'S AT SEVEN this weekend.  It's hard to believe this wonderful play had actually been a failure in it very first production.

The laundry's in the washers, and I'm pondering my day.  Yesterday I updated my laptop for its trip to Ohio, and I listened to the rough mix of Moonshine & Mistletoe a good number of times before I sent my thoughts to our producer.  I was sure the neighbors would raise hell at some point.

After laundry today, I will continue with the Guys & Dolls vocal score.  I've already taken care of DR Charles Smith's comp ticket for the 2:00 show tomorrow, and I've begun pulling things to be packed for the trek.

DR ChasSmith, I honestly don't know for certain, but I would suspect that it is. This version didn't exist until after that revival that BK recorded.  At one point, Tom and Harvey asked me about working on the Broadway orchestration to adapt it to go with the book revisions made for that revival. I said yes, but nothing's been mentioned since.

That revival in the early 1980s of Morning's At Seven was absolute genius with perfect casting.  At the same time then, everyone asked "why was the original a flop?
