I may come up to NYC at the end of month. Have any new shows opened and are they worth seeing to make the journey worthwhile.

It is snowing here in Rehoboth Beach. I've decided (again) that I definately like watching show fall. It's light, whimsical (well, for now, since it's a light snowfall), and not nearly as gloomy as I've heard people say. Rain can be gloomy, very grey, but snow is not like that at all.

Of course, if this were a blizzard, I might have a few different things to say about the matter.

DR SWW, have you checked out the weekend forcast? They are calling for a nor'easter style snow storm.

The interesting thing is that Steve Collins told me he's always wanted to play Ben in FOLLIES. Unfortunately, SEVENTH HEAVEN (?) hath him in thrall.

I think Mr. Collins would be great as Ben in FOLLIES. In fact, I think he would be great in just about anything (or out of anything). The one thing I won't watch him in is SEVENTH HEAVEN. It might send me into insulin shock -- and I am not even diabetic.

Shayne, e-mail me and I'll see if I can help.

Ah, TCB, I saw Mr. Collins in "The Ritz" in nothing but a towel. That was my first exposure to Mr. Collins (so to speak).

Kerry · « **Reply #186 on:** January 19, 2005, 05:08:00 PM »

AND it was 83 degrees here today with a lovely breeze.

There is one theater poster that I would give anything to have, but apparently will never get the chance. When the musical, TITANIC, first went into previews it had a different poster. The poster was all black and had a silhouette of the ship in lights, and the name Titanic made-up the four smoke stacks (see below). I loved that poster. I was so disappointed when the CD was released and I realized they had changed posters. I called back to the theater to see if they might still have one around, but the people at the theater swore that no such poster ever existed. I guess I will have to be content with the three copies of the Playbill that I have, but I would love to have a framed poster for my wall……. that is until Jane and Keith decide to give me their original newspaper about the sinking!

I think Hoffman's a fine actor...but I think some of this stuff is just star ego bullshit. While you're at it, read the story about Hoffman and the flashlight in Goldman's book."

Okay, what's the story about Hoffman and the flashlight??

They let you in the theatre wearing nothing but a towel?

Hi folks,

Sorry to have been E&T last night and most of today. I've had to work overtime at work. Major overtime like until 7:30 tonight. I didn't get home until shortly after eight. My boss had to bring me home--there is no bus after the 5:15.

Since I am planning on the March NYC trip, I can use the extra money so I'm not complaining to much.

NOTE: I said "to much". It's not that I'm not complaining at all.

I put in for vacation time for that time and got my approval today. So that is part is set. Please keep me up to date with any news from anyone who is going.

Has anyone made any plans on the show? Tickets? Are we buying them there or sending the money in ahead or what? Are we sitting together? Sorry if this was posted already.

What other shows are the rest of you going to see? I think I will be in on Friday afternoon and will stay until Monday or possibly Tuesday. I haven’t seen Ave Q or Little Women but sound like something I’d like to see. Not to sure about Ave Q but have heard so much about it.

Pardon if I make this short, I have many things to do and am very tired. I will try to catch up on all of the posts when things calm down. I may have to work late through the rest of the week.

Vibes and my very best Birthdays wishes to anyone I have missed.

Why? What do you usually wear to the theater?

Off to dinner with an old friend whom I haven't seen for years. We'll be dining at Dan Tana's.
Laters!

Welcome seven GUESTS. We're talkin' about Blythe Danner's Hair.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #194 on:** January 19, 2005, 06:53:13 PM »

Have fun DRPANNI!

I loved that logo, too, DRTCB - but I don't have the poster either!

HMMMMMMMMM........I think in the case of a movie bio of a strong singer specifically noted for a voice type - I think lip synching is the way to go. I loved Beverly D'Angelo as Patsy Cline in COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER and of course Sissy did some great work as Loretta Lynn. But I was glad to hear Patsy's real voice in SWEET DREAMS.....the problem being of course that Jessica Lange's speaking voice didn't come close to Patsy's so the match was imperfect.....her "mouth choreography" was also a bit careless.

But .... hmmmmmmmmmmm

I did wear my signature bow tie with the towel at least. Mr. Collins, however, only wore the towel.

What has everybody eaten this fine day? I was good and have only had a Subway Club.

BTW, DR Panni,
Thank you for sharing the quote the other day from your 21st birthday card. It was just what I needed to read that day, and I have since sent it to a few friends. That has happened before with other things you've quoted or said. Just thought you should know.

It is interesting that Blythe Danner won a Tony award for Butterflies Are Free as a supporting role as opposed to a lead role which it was. One of the people who she beat was Eillen Heckart who won the oscar for the film version.

BTW did anyone see Miss Gloria Swanson in the mother role, Butterflies Are Free

Another Questopm
The title song has to be the least recorded of Stephen Schwartz's song. Did you ever consider it for you Stephen Schwartz CD?

And Treat Williams did it in the film version.

I just finished some orange peel chicken from a local asian eatery. Mighty fine!

I know there was the theme song in the movie that Edward Albert sang, but can anyone recall anything about it other than, "Butterflies are freeeeee, and so are weeeee."
I heard Gloria Swanson was quite good in the play, but I can't imagine anyone better than Eileen Heckhart.

Jane · « **Reply #204 on:** January 19, 2005, 07:18:58 PM »

I have enjoyed reading all of today’s posts.

I’m tired and still have work to do around here so goodnight.

Decided to add a photo, not the greatest, but a photo nonetheless. I didn't eat much today, an English Muffin and Orange and a hamburger with no bun. I am, however, back into my skinny jeans!

I have emailed DRPennyO about setting aside a block of tickets for March 19. So far, I have the following peoplecoming to the show:
Me
Ginny
Anna
Danise
Ben
Anthony
Vixmom
W F Orr
Michael Shayne

If I've omitted anyone, my apologies. I hope more will show up, but we have a possible 9 right now! I asked her about setting aside 15 tickets. Maybe we'll need more?

S. Woody White · « **Reply #208 on:** January 19, 2005, 07:54:20 PM »

Der Brucer and I feasted on grilled goose breasts, sauteed spinach, and oatmeal with dried cranberries and almonds. The oatmeal was an experiment of mine, and it worked very well with the goose.

I saw her do it at the Royal Alex in Toronto. What I recall is that at the time, Gloria Swanson was heavily involved in her health-food/anti-sugar campaign. In one scene, as the meddling mother, she checked out her son's cupboards. And then, she proceeded to give him - and the entire audience - an endless lecture on the evils of sugar, processed food, etc.
