I don't know about an "official" English language production, but if you click HERE, there are two links to text files that are translations that someone has done.  Actually, one is the lyrics and the other is the synopsis of the songs.  I remember finding a site a couple of years ago where someone had translated the whole show, song by song, but I haven't been able to find that site again...yet.  I'll check my bookmarks at home and see what I can find.  But again, I haven't heard anything about an English language production.

Oh, and welcome back, ozderek!

My work day is devolving...I think my co-workers' brains are frying.

Lots of "little fires" keep popping up, for no "good" reasons, I assure you.

So, I have "fire watch."

Heigh-ho.

Well... Since I was spending some time in Mamma Mia! land the past couple of weeks...  It's still being developed, and some sort of workshop may appear as soon as this summer.

-but I'm not sure where my "birdies" got their info, so...

I'm off to the Washington Center in downtown Olympia.  They're having their annual Volunteer thank-you dinner.  They also announce the upcoming season!!  I can't wait to find out what's coming. ;D

hello there,

thanks for the info re "KFD" - i have come across the translation sites but am really keen to find out about the official translation that is taking place in order to stage this in the English speaking countries.  I had heard rumours that Don Black was working on it.

Life down here is fine.  The weather is getting cooler, which means you must be entering the Summer months.  * sigh * Lucky you.

Oh, this morning I ordered (via Amazon) the soundtracks to :

* Spamalot
* Little Women
* Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Not having seen the shows or heard any of the music so far, can anybody enlighten me as to whether I have made a good choice .....?

Cheers from Oz!

Good Evening!

DR ozderek - All good CD choices.  However, I think you may be surprised - like I was - at how contemporary the score for Little Women is.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it caught me by surprise, at least.

I still have yet to be productive, but I did end up heading out and rounding up some dinner for me and my folks.  Greek: spanakopita, gyro, souvlaki (pork), fried zucchini, french fries, salad and lots of tzatziki.  -Oh, and I picked up some cookies from the bakery next door. :)

I was working on something for a few minutes and missed Ozderek-darn.

The other day I heard a few songs from Spamalot and now I want to see the show.  Let me know what you think when you receive the CD's.

Hello, DRJane!  I've been coming and going as I get bored with my writing.  I thought the SPAMALOT recording was fantastic.

I was browsing the internet, and this is something I found:


Hmmm...  All these years I had thought that Son of Fury was the sequel to Fury.  There doesn't seem to be a horse in sight on that CD cover.

Did this send us into cinemascope?

I have a 20" monitor and my screen resolution is set at 1024 x 768 and even I am experiencing cinemascope on this page!

I am not, however, hearing stereophonic sound.

I thought Fury was a film about a horse and now I find out the Son of Fury is a human. Tres confusing.

You and me both, bruddah!  I've always passed up Son of Fury whenever I saw it in the TV listings because I thought it was a sequel to a movie I never saw.  Live and learn...

Has anyone noticed that TCM sees to be using a webcam for Robert Osbourn's segments lately?  It looks like he's broadcasting from Iraq this week, the way his movements are herky and jerky and the general lack of depth.

I got half way through the Spamalot OCR this afternoon, but it was just getting on my nerves--the "Knights of the Round Table" number seemed incredibly loud, long and forced.  But then, I was listening to it when I was feeling very sh*tty and irritable (my typical state at work these days) and I probably wasn't receptive to it.  I'll give it another chance tomorrow (along with the new Pacific Overtures and the Sondheim Sings CD.)

For those of you who are lovers of vinyl, go to this link.

And here's the company's site link.

I was not happy wit the IDOL results tonight, but I can't say I'm that surprised. I think voters are being fooled by loudness and vocal calisthenics rather than on-pitch singing, but so be it.

I must think of a DVD I'd like to see enhanced on the new DVD player. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK crossed my mind, and so did THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and CHICAGO.

I'm back from an incredibly long day of mixing, but we finished everything, including my fixes from the other day.  I now have to listen to everything tomorrow and make sure I like everything that we did that was new, plus make sure we didn't ruin anything by doing the small fixes we did.  I did end up calling in Mr. Haines to fix two notes in one song, and he came and nailed them in one quick take, and we're both much happier now.

That said, the one thing I did not expect to come home to was 146 postings.  What is THAT about on a weekday?  I thought I'd settle in to some lovely reading but that was not to be.  The posts that were here are indeed lovely, but frankly or even georgely I don't get this errant and truant and WUSSBURGER stuff - it baffles me large.  Oh, well, such is life in the big city.  I must go write tomorrow's notes, even though I just got home and have been gone since eleven (we ate dinner after we finished at seven-thirty).  Since there's been a supreme dearth of postings, maybe I'll just put off the notes for a while and post them whenever I post them.  Yes, that's what I'll do.

I've been home but my housemate uses my computer, and since I stay up much later than he does, he uses it when he can.

Anyway, the Washington Center for the Performing Arts here in Olympia had its annual volunteer thank you dinner.  They thanked us volunteers/ushers by giving us some food.  They also had a bunch of door prizes, but I didn't win anything.  Darn.  Oh, well.  There's always next year!
