When I was in high school, probably my junior year in 1966-67, I went to Ohio and put a jar of money.....probably about $350 in a friend's house....in the basement ceiling.

I can't remember exactly where the friend lived - but if anyone finds it, please let me know.

On my way in a bit for a run-through.

With my book in my hands....along with all my props.

I expect at some time during the evening to be drenched in water and eventually handcuffed to a chaise lounge.

I must say that I am - and have always been - off book for the water drenching scene.

Oh, no! :-\

And the sender keeps telling it will arrive on the 14th  :-\

George, how are you feeling?

So far, I just feel like I have a cold, and not a horrible cold...so far.

No.  This'll be the first time.

Thanks DR JANE.

Glad your tooth is partially done!  Sorry you didn't get your drugs.

Have a great trip.

Thank you.

There were things about the Kimberly Akimbo number I liked. The young man was excellent.

I felt overwhelmed by the Shucked number, as if they had thrown everything into it. If the whole show is like that, it must be exhausting.

Lea Michele’s still doing Streisand from the film. I prefer the cadences and phrasing from the OBC better.

Just watched the numbers from & Juliet (boring), New York, New York (meh) and Some Like It hot, which had Sondheim and Porter both rolling over in their graves. The lyrics were just lousy, never landing properly on the notes, so they just fell flat and sounded mushy. The tune was okay, if too much pastiche.

If Sondheim got after Ira Gershwin and Lorenz Hart for that laziness, as he called it, he wouldn’t have given these guys a pass.
