Apparently Audra McDonald and Michael Shannon are fully nude at the start of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de la Lune.

That and the fact I think it's a poor play will keep me away. The movie is much better.

Interesting article DR FJL.

That's one I'd forgotten about. I saw it at the Mark Taper around, oh, hmm.... late 1980s? I don't even remember who I saw in it! But I believe they were both very good.

Was that Kathy Bates in the original? Stanley Tucci and Edie Falco were in the revival, as I recall.

I saw the replacement cast after Bates left. Carol Kane, I think.

I remember when OKLAHOMA! first came out in a "collection" version on VHS and it was taken from the TODD AO print that had been the first run version for those theatres that could project the process....other theatres and television and early video versions were the "regular" version that was shot.....and the same time but NOT simultaneously with the T-AO version.....those scenes were shot first, then they changed cameras and did another shot for the other version.

It was interesting seeing the "fresh" takes as opposed to the second takes of the scenes....there really IS a difference.

I am home from a long work rehearsal. I think it will be a good show. I also think someone needs to record an Ana Gasteyer album. She's really wonderful.

ChasSmith, any idea when the Criterion sale at Barnes and Noble is happening? I wanna get the upcoming Hedwig release.

Symphony is playing Ravel’s Tzigane tonight. Love that piece.

Work was harder today than yesterday. And one little missy thinks she’s the boss and she ain’t.

But it was a better day.

Bonnie Franklin also did the play for a while with Tony Musante.

I do have to go to the store, perhaps on the way home from the theater, and pick up some preventatives that I ran out of, i.e. Airborne

Haven't the physical attributes always been inherent in choices of actors and actresses?

I personally find no issue with a little eye candy here and there and I don't think it takes me out of the show.

As far as having some good looking male bodies on screen I say go for it, I care not for the directors motivation...if someone brings in a box of candy for me to share, I for one shall dive in, no questions asked

Ditto and ditto!

What If mystery solved: Apparently, right after the show closed, I had a meeting with this gal and her then-partner and we talked about them licensing it. She thinks I said go ahead and let's see what happens, which is probably accurate, but we never signed anything. She said she'd get the guy to take it off the site, along with the lyrics. Very nice gal - it was all very pleasant.

Great.

I saw Julie Walters and Brian Cox starring in it in London on the West End in 1989.

I’ve never seen it. Not even the movie.

I haven't either.

Well, I need to be going. I got all my time in for this week. Who'da thunk it??

I'm going to my sister's to help her set up for a PFLAG garage sale tomorrow. I'll be helping there tomorrow, also, AND helping move a desk to my parents' house at some point during the sale. It'll be a busy couple of days.

Be back later.
