Well, you've read the notes, the notes were obsessed, and now it is time for you to post until the obsessed cows come home.

And the word of the day is: AILUROPHILE!

That word, of course, describes dear reader elmore to a T.

That's a pretty cool play obsession story, BK.

Annabelle's nose is fine this morning, and she ate breakfast, both good bits of news from 82nd Street.

Another bit of good news: I got an inquiry about doing an orchestration for my London conductor friend.

What great news about the play, BK!

Great play story, BK. Looking forward to learning more when the time is right.

When I was directing the Middletown Lyric Theatre in the 1970s, there were several plays I wanted to do:
Giraudoux's The Enchanted for DR Ginny to play Isabel
The Cat and the Canary
Invitation To A March
Loot
What the Butler Saw

This is another City Center day. I'll leave around 9:30. If I can, I may run down after that to my accountant and sign my tax forms.

That's great, DR elmore!

BK - Maybe you should start keeping notes about the road to getting this play on. It sounds like your story about the road to getting this play on could be a great work as well.

(or maybe the BK notes will be those notes.)

I am glad that DC Nicky is pretty good for almost 20, and that he has pain meds to help with his issues. Did they shave his belly because this fur was matted? I like that the visit included a brushing.

DR George I apologize for not saying hello back last night. I was asleep.

Jane · « **Reply #20 on:** February 07, 2019, 06:50:30 AM »

George is it a problem for you that the reading is on a different night than you expected?

Something that always unsettles me for a moment is the reminder that cats are considered "seniors" beginning at seven or eight years of age.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #24 on:** February 07, 2019, 06:58:37 AM »

Love the play obsession. May it have a successful rebirth!

DR Jane I have read the book The Hate U Give. But have not seen the movie yet. I will see it when the library gets it. I would read the book. I am really looking forward to the author's new book that came out this week.

T.O.D.

I don't think I was ever "obsessed" with any play or musical I saw.

I was five-years-old when I saw my first play, HARVEY w/Joe E. Brown. Still have memories of it.

Next play was a few years later: OKLAHOMA! It was the National company and I don't recall any of the cast.

As a teen, I made it a point to see many road shows that visited Seattle: THE MUSIC MAN w/Forrest Tucker and Joan Weldon; MY FAIR LADY w/Michael Evans; THE DESPERATE HOURS w/William Gargan, Richard Jaeckel and Nancy Colman; THE CAINE MUTINY COURT-MARTIAL w/ Paul Douglas, Wendell Corey, Steve Brodie and Robert Lowery; BYE, BYE BIRDIE with Bill Hayes and Joan Blondell; CAMELOT with Kathryn Grayson, Louis Hayward and Arthur Treacher; DAMN YANKEES! w/Bobby Clark.

We also had the Cirque Playhouse that imported stars to appear in plays with local actors: John Carradine, Reginald Gardner, Jane Darwell, Sterling Holloway, Charles Winninger, Edward Everett Horton, Rita Moreno, Stuart Erwin, Julie Haydon, Mercedes McCambridge,....

The one I do remember very well was Edward Everett Horton. Watching him work on stage was watching a master do his craft.

More on Peau d'âne: Based on a fairytale by Charles Perrault, but uncesored like Sondheim's Cinderella. The widowed king wants to marry his daughter, and she gets him to kill his donkey that shits gold and jewels and give her the magic donkey skin. She flees to the enemy kingdom and bakes a cake for the Prince with her ring inside. Prince vows to marry the girl whose finger fits the ring

All the girls in the kingdom mutilate their fingers to fit the ring. See a pattern here? Suffice it to say that love wins out, war is averted, the fairy godmother who helped her escape arrives in a helicopter, Prince marries Princess, and king marries fairy godmother, finis!

That's some play there DR WILLIAM F ORR......

Vibes for DC Nicky and DR TCB.

Work come through vibes for DR ELMORE.
