Well, you've read the notes, the notes had heavy lids, and now it is time for you to post until the heavy-lidded cows come home.

In my dream, the nasturtiums looked like celery stalks, and I could get no one to come to the counter and take my money.  I believe I was purchasing 10-12 plants.

DR Elmore, on seeing that, my first thought was Sweet Apple, Ohio.

Jane, the first round of figs usually happens when the leaves come out. There will be a later round where gigs could happen, maybe two.

Cecil and Pam have a different type of fig (we bought them at the same time). Their tree is laden with fruit. It’s essentially the beginning of summer here.

TCB - It seems that's where the technique goes back to - the first successful  musical with a plot built entirely around existing popular songs seems to be the movie "Singing' in the Rain." From Wikipedia: “Singin’ In The Rain originally conceived by MGM producer Arthur Freed, the head of the "Freed Unit" responsible for turning out MGM's lavish musicals, as a vehicle for his catalog of songs written with Nacio Herb Brown…”

Freed and Brown added “Make ‘Em Laugh” (which some call a “homage” to Cole Porter’s “Be A Clown” - but Porter didn't sue, of course, as close as it feels), and “Moses Supposes” was written by Roger Edens and Comden & Green, based on a famous tongue-twister. 

The "Singing' in the Rain" pre-exisiting songs were mostly the jukebox songs in their era. 

The term "jukebox musical" didn't exist then, and I think the term was meant as belittling.


I suspect that's why the term "catalog musical" was thought up along the way.

The only thing that REALLY bothers me about Jeanne Tesori is that she wrote an ENTIRE score for THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE and not ONE song she wrote has the feel or sound of the 1920's.....it was weird.

The new show doesn't sound like my cup of tea, but it certainly has a good pedigree.  And as MR BK wrote - kudos to anyone who tries to write and ORIGINAL musical!

BK - do the New York critics tend to come to L.A. these days? 

The Times did a big article a few days ago on the making of the show you saw last night.

I know the NY Times went to La Jolla to see "Hands on a Hardbody."  but that was about five or six years ago, and the Times critic reviewed two new musicals on that California trip.

The director sent me a program to proof.....it lists THREE choreographers NONE of whom is me....but that's okay.  It's nice to get credit, but I don't need the blame....  I am listed as Assistant Director, so I'm assuming she figured that was enough.

But you know me.....
