I'm up, I'm up.  I didn't fall asleep until three in the morning - too much whirling and dervishing going on in the cranium.  

I don't believe today is a holiday - so, where in tarnation IS everyone?

Calling Danise! Calling Danise!

Michael Ball is doing another radio show on BBC 2. It's a six-parter beginning today at 2pm EST.

Here's what it says from the Web site:

Michael Ball returns to New York to showcase the best of the current Broadway musical theatre.

Michael Ball casts an expert eye over the likely contenders in this fourth series of the award-winning 'Ball Over Broadway' and he once again captures the excitement and the extraordinary diversity of what's making the news on the New York stage.

Michael will be back in the best seat in the house as the curtain rises on this season's hottest tickets and classiest Broadway classics. He wonders if the musical Holy Grail is to be found in Mony Python's 'Spamalot' and goes back to school for the intriguing 'The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee'.

Michael then pays a flying visit to the South of France- at least the Broadway version of the Riviera for 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels', a tale of two conmen fleecing the rich and gullible from 'Full Monty' composer David Yazbek.

Closer to home, Michael makes the short trip to 'Brooklyn', the story of a young girl's search for identity in the New York district that bears her name. And Michael will be asking if 'All Shook Up' can transform the Elvis Presley hit-list into musical gold in the way that 'Mama Mia' has done for the Abba back catalogue.

Plus he will be checking if the new production of 'Sweet Charity' is a suitable tribute to its composer, the late Cy Coleman.

The series will feature six different shows from succeeding generations of Broadway's finest composers and lyricists. There'll be contributions from performers, writers and directors as well as a few, well-chosen words from the feared New York theatre critics. Interviewees include Eric Idle and John Lithgow.

Here is the link:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/documentaries/balloverbroadway.shtml

It will be live on Fridays at 2pm and then each segment will be available to listen for one week at the BBC 2 Web site.

Enjoy Mrs. Ball  ;)

On Sunday in Radio City Music Hall many people will be PLAUSIVE, at least according to this definition.

plau·sive (plô zv)
1.  Showing or expressing praise or approbation; applauding.

There is also an obsolete definition from years gone by

2. Obsolete. Plausible.

[From Latin plaudere, plaus-, to applaud.]

Well - you can have your Sabu.  I will take my Bomba.

DR SANDRA the carpet photos were lovely.  I think that the Hilton had a nice sedate covering, while the most outre seemed to belong to New York New York.

Great "show" news from DR MATTH and DRS JED and TCB.  Continued vibrations for them all.

FRIDAY MEDIA CHECK:

CD: another HHW'er with THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA - I like it, but I am sure after I saw the show, I would love it.  It is very romantic and well sung.  It also has lots of strings which I like a LOT!  Also Doris Day the 1960's singles.  Very good CD.

VCR: JULIE - Doris lands a prop plane, and who would have thunk it, she is a stewardess on a Non-sched airline.  Just a warning for those HHW'ers contemplating air travel.

DVD - Munchausen, courtesy DR MBARNUM.  Thanks! Very interesting.

A broken curtain rod thing can be very annoying.  I think you should hire a stronger thing to hold up your curtain rod.

May I suggest Mr America 1948, George Eiferman.  I don't think his movie career is going as well as he hoped.

DRKERRY - I, too, now have The Girlfriend of the Whirling Dervish whizzing through my brain.  It is one of my favorite novelty songs, and is one of my favorite moments in FOR THE BOYS....short and ineffective as it is there.

OLIVER! opened last night, I was not there, don't have to go until Saturday. But I did not get any emails or phone calls telling me of disasters, so I am assuming all is well.

Slap it with your this.

Comcast is doing very strange things this morning.  Here and gone....here and gone.  

Last night I watched Hit Me Baby One More Time to see some old rock performers doing their thangs.  It was somewhat depressing.  However, I must say that Miss Tiffany was displaying some bodacious teles!

DR George, have you thought of a way to copy both the sound and video of the Tony Pre-Show Webcast this year?

So am I.  I had thought that the TV Guide Channel was going to show the designer awards being doled out, but from what I now understand it's more of an interview/talking head type deal like what PBS did years ago.  Except the actual awards presentation is viewable only through TonyAwards.org's webcast.  

Last year when AOL presented the Pre-Show through a webcast, DR George was able to copy the audio with no video while I copied the video with no sound.  There's got to be some kind of utility out there that can handle both.

I would think you would probably enjoy the show much more if you hear the cast recording first.

Just curious... why?  How exactly does familiarity enhance enjoyment?  I've heard a number of people say similar things over the years, and have always wondered about it.

It has been my experience with some shows, that the singing or sound is so bad, that knowing the songs made it easier to understand what was going on.  And of course, I always imagine how the show should look, sound, and feel and it is nice to compare what I thought to what the director thought.

And seeing a familiar show is like visiting an old friend....sometimes good sometimes bad.

Thank you, Matt H for your good wishes.  I am glad to hear that your opening went well.  Continued success!

To eveyone else who has expressed good wishes.......... thank you, one and all!  It is much easier to relax a little today, after last night's preview dress rehearsal.  Still, it is a little harder to please people paying full price for a ticket, than those invited free to a preview dress rehearsal.
