Here is Cindy Williams with host Bob McAllister, of the television kid's show Wonderama.



I don't think I've ever heard of that show.

Breathing is odd today. I think it’s a combination mold and oak pollen in the air.

Oh, no!  Hopefully, it gets better!

This version of The Rink is poorly produced. Some of the men’s voices just fade into the background.

Is that a John Yap recording?

Yes. Yap tracks.

And it was originally a numbered, limited edition.

I forget what number I had...somewhere in the low 500s out of 1000, I think.

I’m not the sure Bones and All is any good, but the acting is. Except for Timothee Chalamet.

Oh, really??  He seems to be the (mostly straight) twink flavor of the day. ;)

Where did everyone go?
Out for pancakes?

I'm at home, eating some leftover (formerly vegan) chili from my sister.

Yesterday while running errands, I stopped at the little salad bar/soup bar/juice bar/sandwich bar, but found that they've closed permanently! NO! The owner was there and told me that Snapchat has taken over much of the nearby business park and has their own cafeteria offering free food. All the surrounding eateries are hurting. Everyone thought that once Covid was over people would return to the office and to the nearby eateries, but it hasn't happened. The parking lot was what you'd expect on a Sunday. Many of the offices are vacant, and those that are occupied only see workers a few days a week. It's really sad. It was such a nice little area and a great salad bar.

That's terrible. :(

I am back from the Garden. I'll say a bit in the notes - our Ava was excellent especially considering that NO ONE worked with her or Sadie. That's right - one put in and on you go. We'll start with the anemic ten-piece band playing a score that demands more of a band. First, I have never seen The Secret Garden and I'm not sure I've ever heard the entire score. I do know they've mucked around with, cutting two numbers, moving one to the first act, etc. Well, let me cut to the chase - it's one of the worst directed shows I've ever seen. Whatever talents the director has as a choreographer have clearly not followed him into directing. The blocking is high schoolish, and his choreography is just people flitting about the stage occasionally, not that there's really room for choreography. One of his most inane decisions was to have cholera, yes, the disease, embodied by a female dancer flitting about the stage offing people. And I don't believe I've seen an uglier and more misbegotten set than this one. You can find pictures online, although the one they use most of rain falling in the middle of that hideous "S" thing that takes up most of the stage looks great in the photo because - the photo is staged. I doesn't really look like that in the show. I know Ken Billington is a fine lighting designer, but the lighting is just not good and perhaps that's what the non-director wanted. The costumes are the same - drab and dreary straight down the line. The cast is okay - very multi-racial, of course - it's fine. The Archibald - they keep calling him a hunchback but there's no hump or anything at all that would lead you to believe that's true. He sings well, but his acting is very declamatory in style and, for me anyway, playing AT things. The Neville is okay but I gather the cut stuff affects both roles. Julia Lester is good as the maid - just a few years ago she was a schoolmate of Sami. Theater needs magic and there is zero magic to do here. The most fun was watching Ava take the stage and own it. We hugged after the show and she'll be returning to Kritzerland very soon.

Oh, my. :-\

I wonder if I ever even bought the cast album of The Secret Garden. A cursory look in the garage did not reveal it.

I do love the score.  The original recording with Rebecca Luker and the original cast was the best.
