Folks were talking about Malcolm Gets and I had a vague memory of having interviewed him some years back. I found the interview and it was Gets and Will Chase just about to open The Story of My Life at the Booth. So much optimism and talk of their chemistry together. The show only lasted five performances. :(

One of my favorite musicals is AMOUR, starring Malcolm Gets and Melissa Errico.

Music by Michel Legrand.

Melissa Errico has such a beautiful voice.

It has an unusual plot, but I loved it, and never understood why it didn’t do well.

Amour

2002 Broadway Playbill
Music
Michel Legrand
Lyrics
Jeremy Sams (English lyrics)

The musical is adapted from the 1943 short story Le Passe-Muraille by Marcel Aymé and set in Paris shortly after World War II. It centers on a shy, unassuming clerk who develops the ability to walk through walls, and who challenges himself to stick to his moral center and change others' lives, and his own, as a result.

Between the high temperatures outside and the apartment hear it's too damned hot. When I turn on the AC, it cools down too much, so I remain stuck between Scylla and Charybdis. And sleep is terrible.

I slept in an hour late than usual, and I hate that.

I saw the Gets/Chase musical. It wasn't good, but there were a couple of wonderful songs. Jonathan Tunick's orchestrations were nice, and I remember that I liked the set. For me, the major problem was that the Gets character was gay and in love with Chase's character, only the whole issue was ignored whenever the material headed in that direvtion.

I'm awake.

Hallelujah!

Strange dreams.

None that bear remembering even if I recall parts of one with some clarity. The dream part is clear, that is, not what was happening in the dream.  Sorry, Jack!

Well, it’s still a miserable head cold, and I’m still testing negative. That’s about all I can say right now.

I have zero New Year's resolutions to make.

I've never kept a single one in the previous years, so what's the point now?

Not a great night of sleep, but good enough. I blame the 24-hour decongestant.
