Well HARD KNOCK LIFE has turned into a regular gymnastics fest....which of course I hate..... "People are expecting something BIG here...."

Yes....like maybe....uh....DANCING?

Since we have NINETEEN of them, not all of the orphans have names assigned in the script....I told them they could use their middle names as their orphan names.

We have a Ruby, a Judy, a Bernice, and a Colleen among others.

They're thinking of double casting our ANNIE this summer, with a dozen or so orphans each.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #36 on:** April 12, 2018, 08:06:28 AM »

It's the type of venue that, ordinarily, left to their devices, would make it a kids' cast of hundreds. Heaven forfend.

Thus far in my project o' the day, I've narrowed the offending ADDAMS page turns down to four songs. I've taken the spiral binder off the book, and will scan the pages flat, then reassemble it all into a regular three-ring binder.

(These books don't get returned.)

Where in TARNATION?

DR TCB we watch DESIGNATED SURVIVOR though we are not as interested as we once were. It really should be watched from the beginning.

From DR George.

Quote

I know it's easier to download through Wi-Fi, but I'm not a quick reader, so I like the idea of being able to get a library e-book and returning it instantly for the next patron, and then being able to take as long as I want/need to read it.

I appreciate you are considerate in quickly returning the books. Now that I seem to be reading slower I have been attempting to check out fewer books at a time. It was ok when I moved on to the next book in a few days.

Will there be any little girls left to be in the audience?

Jane, be glad you avoided Flat Broke with Two Goats. Flat writing is more like it. And too much detail about favorite craft beers.

They’re part of the Sing-along.

About that glare on a tablet vs a reader, I keep all of my book reading options on the black night setting at all times. It is rare that I have a problem with too much glare.

Doesn't it feel like the kind of number where, when one kid does an impressive back-flip or something, three of the other kids could hold up Olympics score numbers?

I mean, the pre-teen kids are rhyming "smidge" and "orphanage" - as some critic said of some funny, stretchy JOSEPH lyrics, who's to say where naivete ends and sophisticated begins?"

DR George when is your show?

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.

I remember even in the very first Broadway production of ANNIE, for "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile," the cute little orphans were bumping and grinding like strippers during the dance break.

Tomorrow I can sleep as late as I need to.

Favorite ANNIE lyric is this subtle ADDAMS FAMILY reference:

When you're through
Mrs. Pugh
Comes to take Itt away.

FJL · « **Reply #51 on:** April 12, 2018, 10:46:51 AM »

What do young kids and especially adopted kids make of Miss Hannigan's line "Why any kid would want to be orphan, I'll never know."

I'm surprised the P.C. people haven't reacted. (That line shocked me a bit even back in 1977. Felt more out-there than anything in I LOVE MY WIFE, which I'd seen a few days before).

Hey, you’re really not supposed to like Mrs. Hannigan. The plot is to kill Annie, after all.

But wasn’t the point of I Love My Wife was that nothing was too out there? It was to try to make Wife swapping a normal, suburban activity. Like Parchese.

And I’d argue that Someone Wonderful I Missed was the most gorgeous theater song that season.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

It is the current "big library read" here so I get to see it every time I go to the library site. I just checked the Ashland library and it is the same there. Do all libraries across the country choose the same book?

The original Gennaro choreography for Annie was brilliant and You're Never Fully Dressed was the best of it, that and the staging of Easy Street. Hard Knock Life was simple and great. You can see the original You're Never Fully Dressed right here - this is when choreographers knew how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-44jUFsqdo

I also watched other versions of this number and yikes. Especially the TV movie version, which is everything you need to know about choreographers not being what they were.
