Vibes for DR ELMORE.

Lovely photos and videos in the notes....my favorite was of course Let's Get Together!

DR FJL the part of Paul is not hard to cast - if anyone comes to auditions....which no one did....NOT ONE ACTOR FOR THE PART....

So I am stuck with no male lead....I contacted a few folks, but they all have conflicts, etc....so there you are.

No it should NOT be difficult....but everyone wants to be in the GD musicals, and that leaves NO ONE to be in the plays....

The man offered the part of the Telephone Man, declined because his wife didn't get the part of the Mother.....so there you are....

Read thru tomorrow....and two parts not cast. I'm ready to give up...

So what was supposed to be a day off....after weeks of hell....has turned into a begging festival that takes hours and is demeaning and depressing.....

Maybe I will call Lanny Meyers....he may know someone....

Vibes for DR elmore. And thanks for your good wishes yesterday!

Haven't done much in Las Vegas. I was going to see a show last night but I was pretty certain I would fall asleep since I haven't been sleeping well since I got to LA. I played keno (in the machine, not live) and was winning for a while but then of course lost my money. I only spent $40 so it's not so bad.

Great photos and videos, BK! Hoping that we'll see " I Wanna Be Like You!"

KevinH · « **Reply #37 on:** July 24, 2018, 06:45:52 AM »

Speaking of photos, BK, did that nice lady send you the photo she took of you and me (and of Sami and me)?

Elmoore So sorry to hear about your problems. I went through a similar situation last year when I was working.

Thanks. The summer is always the worst, and I cannot make a living. I got a call from a singer I used to work with a bit. She wanted to know if i had a chart for "Somewhere" to borrow - several singers and at least one conductor I know have asked to borrow possible charts - and I took several days to track down and get a scan for the orchestration I had done for the NYC Gay Men's Chorus over 25 years ago. I sent her the scan, told her and her MD to adapt it and copy parts - all without charging her a cent - and then she hired Lanny Meyers to write a new chart!

JOB VIBES FOR DR ELMORE!

Jane · « **Reply #40 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:26:25 AM »

George, sorry about your game. Have fun playing it again.

FJL · « **Reply #41 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:44:45 AM »

Jrand - if you were doing the play in Manhattan, you'd have Paul Bratters coming out of your ears. All willing to pockmark themselves up if you really want a Robert Redford type.

FJL · « **Reply #42 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:45:40 AM »

But of course, the person you pick will be great, so he'll have auditions during most of tech.

FJL · « **Reply #43 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:47:38 AM »

Shouldn't there be an orchestration or arrangement for "Shamah, shamah?" Or is that only heard in the movie? (I haven't seen the play onstage in over 40 years.)

FJL · « **Reply #44 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:48:35 AM »

Judy Robb, my English teacher, played Corie.

Such great work and performances in those videos!

I think how wonderful for Mr. Sherman to have hooked up with you, with such dedication and work ethic, to help keep this work alive so well like this. And it's feeling like this association has been terrific for you, too, BK!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #46 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:54:39 AM »

Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #47 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:57:51 AM »

Looking forward to videos, but this wifi connection is not playing nice so I'll watch them later on computer.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #48 on:** July 24, 2018, 07:59:05 AM »

Huge miracle vibes for both BK and DR Elmore.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #49 on:** July 24, 2018, 08:16:58 AM »

BK... Not what you want to hear, but my show is at an outdoor venue and as of now the 8th is a rain date!

We'll know by sometime on the weekend of the 4th and 5th whether we need to use it.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #50 on:** July 24, 2018, 09:30:30 AM »

Okay, the videos are being watched now. These performances are phenomenal.

bk · « **Reply #51 on:** July 24, 2018, 11:06:12 AM »

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

bk · « **Reply #52 on:** July 24, 2018, 11:06:32 AM »

Vibes, of course, to all who need them including moi.

Here's what I'm going to say about "I don't appreciate the pressure." All many of us can do is read what's posted here and make perhaps incorrect assumptions based on what we read here. In this particular case, I read about lots of work being done, whether Loesser, Joshie, and I know there've been times when I've tried to float upcoming work only to be turned down. I read of numerous get-togethers to see all manner of things. I make assumptions based on what I read. I post about something I'm involved with in NY and crickets and admonishing based on what I know most people understand as my sense of humor. I'm gonna leave it there. It doesn't make me happy to see anyone struggling. It doesn't make me happy to see me struggling.

bk · « **Reply #54 on:** July 24, 2018, 11:11:23 AM »

Glad some of you are enjoying the videos. I post to, as FJL said, show you the calibre of talent involved.

Bruce, are you going to be in New York then?

bk · « **Reply #56 on:** July 24, 2018, 11:36:08 AM »

Well, this is already the day from hell.

bk · « **Reply #57 on:** July 24, 2018, 11:37:36 AM »

No, not going to NY, which is why we're doing all these rehearsals here. I will be watching the two rehearsals and sound check there via Skype or whatever, but there's no way for me to make that schedule work that close to a Kritzerland show.

KevinH · « **Reply #58 on:** July 24, 2018, 12:02:25 PM »

Greetings from McCarran International Airport! Well, those three days went by quickly, but it was a great trip.

KevinH · « **Reply #59 on:** July 24, 2018, 12:03:01 PM »

My flight is 17 minutes delayed. I hope it doesn't turn out to be longer than that.
