While I'm definitely interested in Come From Away, I have to wonder what the rest of the songs sound like. The "rock"-(ish?) style of the one shown last night does nothing for me. I do want to see the show, though.

Totally bored with the Tony Awards last night. Musical numbers for the current shows may have looked nice, but were unmemorable.

Why don't they write musicals today with songs that stay with you?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #33 on:** June 12, 2017, 05:52:11 AM »

I'm afraid that what I've gleaned of the story line of Dear Evan Hansen, and the couple of numbers I've heard from it (or have they been the same number?), leave me completely uninterested. To whom do we owe thanks for this general style? I'm thinking Jason Robert Brown, but it probably goes back even farther. Whatever. It's run its course with me.

I've come to appreciate Patti LuPone's singing more than I used to, but I wanted to enjoy seeing/hearing her and Ebersole more than I actually did in that number. Still interested, though.

In the song at the end of the show, her vibrato seemed - oh, about three inches wide, and I missed it but someone yelled out that she was way off pitch on one note or phrase. I'll have to go back and check that out.

Good to hear "Penny in My Pocket", which was cute enough, but the lack of any "real" Hello, Dolly! excerpt was like an elephant in the room. And no, the band playing the title song theme for people to walk up to doesn't quite cut it by itself.

TOD - I always enjoy the Tonys, but last night's show wasn't the best. Like DR Elmore, I wanted COME FROM AWAY to do better than it did. The food-hawking bit was kind of lame, but it did give some visibility to several shows not otherwise featured. It was a thrill to see our acquaintance Jared as Willie Wonka. He documented the day in Facebook videos and it was fun to watch the process.

Does anyone know what Bette said that got bleeped?

From what I been reading elsewhere Bette said "shit".

Is that all?

I am shocked that didn't make me crave a donut, guess I am not hungry.

Auto correct wouldnt let me type doughnut. Funny, now it will and I tried it 4 times before. Each time I ended up with dough nut.

Tomorrow we are going crawdad fishing. So today I am gathering my supplies. First time this season.

Give my regards to all the crawdaddies!

Another three-day weekend behind me. Another closet cleaned out and packed up.

Sigh.

Am very happy for Bette Midler and Gavin Creel.

I think that and THE GREAT COMET both need to be appreciated in their entirety. The numbers out of context leave a lot to be desired. Maybe DEAR EVAN HANSEN is the same way, but I'm not in a hurry to test my theory on that one...

This might be a silly question, but what/where is this auto-correct function that some of you are using?

Is it a feature of this board (HHW) or of your own browser? I'm looking through my account settings here and don't see anything. If I did, I'd have mine turned off anyway, but I find no such thing.

So, wherever it resides... with all the silly mayhem it causes, why do you use it? I've long been curious about this, but I so enjoy its entertaining results here that I hadn't thought about asking in a long while.

DR ChasSmith: It's a function of my computer. It doesn't matter what I'm typing or where I'm typing it. It just kicks in.

It is on my iPhone (never had it on my unsmart phones) and on my tablet. Until I purchased new, improved phone & tablet I did not understand the complaints regarding auto-correct.

Good point about why do we use it. I am not sure if I can turn it off. If I can and didn't it would likely be that it also turns off spellcheck which I do appreciate.

I am extremely grateful I do not have it on my computer, though at least here it would be easier to see and catch the errors. There simply isn't any logic or consistency to most of them.

I saw this film for the first time shortly after we returned from a family trip in a rented RV. Keith wanted me to make sandwiches while he drove. After I almost chopped my finger off I refused to use the kitchen while we were moving. You can imagine how hard I laughed during the scene where Lucy is making dinner while Desi is blissfully happy driving.

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep. Must go do some banking and eat something light but amusing.

And a very happy eighty-ninth birthday to Richard Sherman.

For all I know, every one of the shows from last night might be brilliant - point being you wouldn't really know that from what was presented.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #57 on:** June 12, 2017, 11:11:14 AM »

Eighty-nine! Wow.

A very happy birthday to Mr. Sherman!

A nice by-product of Saturday's party is that our house is still reasonably clean and clutter-free. And we now have all the furniture back in its proper places and the party dishes put away.

Jane · « **Reply #59 on:** June 12, 2017, 11:19:16 AM »

That is always a good feeling. We only had one other couple over making the clean-up easy.
