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.

But I'm enjoying Corbin Bleu. In the opening song, the lyrics say he's a dancer, not a singer. Then they give him Heat Wave and he tears into it vocally. I guess we're not supposed to remember all that.

That doesn't matter in a musical.  Jelly Roll Morton was a pianist, but Jelly's Last Jam portrays him as a dancer.

Last I heard, Sharry and Micheal are expecting 10 for dinner, but that will probably go up before the big day.

That's a bunch of people!  I don't think I've ever been to a Thanksgiving dinner with that many people.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

Which new neighborhood did you say your new abode was in?

The Oaks of Sherman.

Back from another long day.  Unpacking, grocery shopping, etc.  Then a bite to eat, then recorded the pre-show announcement, then saw the projections, which add greatly to the look of the show, gave some notes on them, and then our small audience arrived for you final invited dress.  I'd say the average age of the thirty people was about 103 and while they obviously didn't make huge amounts of noise, I do know they really enjoyed the show because every one of them came up to me after and told me.  I think this show really resonates with Jews of a certain age, and I'm here to tell you that it's more timely today than when it was originally written.

I will immodestly say the pre-show announcement got a nice laugh, then the show began and immediately the first three light cues were wrong.  Great way to start.  And in fact 90% of my notes were for wrongly called cues - several were for more light but it is starting to look good, so that's progress.  I made it pretty clear that I don't want any more wrongly called cues and I went through each of them until what I wanted was made as clear as can be.   I had very few acting notes, most nitpicks - but we do have to put a button on one number (we asked for it but didn't get it - so we'll run that before tonight's performance), and the curtain call was excruciatingly long because few understand the concept of starting their entrance as soon as the people ahead of them hit their place.  We'll run that, too and cut the time in half.  Interestingly, every one of the old folks gave the show a standing ovation.

That's great, BK!  Hopefully, the audiences will get louder and younger!
