Happy Sunday, everyone! Just in time for Halloween, this week's Broadway Radio Show focuses on the wonderful history of Little Shop of Horrors as I am joined by author Adam Abraham to chat about his new book Attack of the Monster Musical: A Cultural History of Little Shop of Horrors. Check it out!

Well at the Goodwill store on Friday, I found a paperback copy of 100 Ray Bradbury stories.

And the first story in the book - all chosen by Mr B himself - was my favorite of his stories....."The Whole Town Is Asleep" from Dandelion Wine - my favorite Bradbury collection.

What is everyone's favorite Ray Bradbury story - if you have one.

DR ChasSmith, I have got to get a lot of books out of this apartment. If I were to order 10 storage boxes, I wonder if you might be able to devote a day to come in, help me fill the cartons, and cart them away for me? I'm sure several Connecticut librariers are awaiting such an arrival with sheer delight!

Happy to do it, it'll just be tricky finding the free day! I'll begin thinking upon it...

I shall have to listen to Donald's radio show on The Rocky Horror Show. I actually know quite little about it, and it's high time I learned its history and traditions.

The playhouse that did Carrie enjoyed a very successful October run of TRHS several years ago, and they've mentioned it (hint hint hint) to me a few times over the past couple of years. So if I want to music direct it at some point in this lifetime, I've got the opportunity. But I have never once attended it, either a staged production or the film version, which I know is outright unbelievable. But I am here to tell the truth, and by God, you just heard the truth.

DR Jrand72, I love a lot of Bradbury's stories, but I tend to be terrible at remember their individual titles. As far as the books go, I've always liked October Country, R is for Rocket, Dandelion Wine, The Martian Chronicles, and the novels Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Which - woops - covers an awful lot of his output, does it not? I used to enjoy reading the stuff especially at this time of year,.

Did you ever watch the Bradbury anthology TV series? I have the set here but I haven't watched them all. A few were definitely a letdown in terms of really portraying the atmosphere of the stories, but I should get back to them now and see what's what.

The opening scene presages Five Easy Pieces. Charles Boyer befuddles a waitress because he wants some cheese without the pie that comes with it.

The Dramatist Guild Quarterly's "Sondheim" issue arrived in yesterday's mail. Haven't had a chance to peruse it yet.

I bought just that specific copy, and mine arrived yesterday, also. Can't wait to read it!

My left eyeball, the object of last Monday's surgery, is itching like mad this morning. The eyedrops are doing nothing to calm things down.

I would say that the major problems were with the casting, the set, costumes, staging, acting, singing, and dancing.

That's all

We decided to make the trip home in 3 legs instead if the usual 2

That sounds more relaxing.

From DR Ron:

Quote

The highlight of my day has been watching the men's finals of the ISU grand prix Skate America event in which 17-year-old Ilia Malinin, representing the USA, skated an historic and winning free skate. His first move was a quad axel, which was/is just phenomenal, and he is the only skater in the world to have landed it in competition.

He soared from fourth place (short program score) to first and no one could catch him. He landed about five or six other quads, as well. No one else had more than three.

It sounds impressive. Maybe I can catch a video of his performance.

DR CHAS SMITH I stage managed a production of the RHS many years ago.....opening week, an actor hurt his leg, since he played the professor he was fine in the wheelchair scenes, but I had to do his Transylvanian scenes....then people kept dropping out.....we ended up running 12 weeks.....so there I was....

The music is a LOT of fun and if everyone is in on it, it's great.

A local university director tried to make the show his own....all of the Transylvanians were zombies and lots of simulated sex among them.....Rocky was NOT a handsome actor and Frank was just.....no.....so it can be bolloxed up by the wrong director for sure.

If you say you're doing The Rocky Horror Show - do it!!!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #59 on:** October 23, 2022, 10:08:53 AM »

I didn't get to see the men's long skate that DR RON PULLIAM wrote about....but I am happy that Illia won.

He is very good - excellent in some areas. I hope he has a long career ahead for all of us to enjoy. It was good NOT to see some of the boring hang arounds that have been on the circuit so many years....
