Not too bad today thanks DTM. Had a great night at SUNSET BLVD with DR Tomovoz (et. partner Colin) last night. Looking forward to catching a concert version of RAGTIME in 2 weeks and then a fully staged produciton of PARADE after that.

BTW - did I ever tell anyone I hate show tunes?

No doubt listening to Kristina so often is helping you with your Svedish OzDerek. No wonder you shop at Ikea.

Yes. And when my dvd set of THE MUPPETS arrives I'll be able to understand exactly what Mr Swedish Chef has to say.

Oh and for the record (and if anyone is remotely intersted in what is happening in musical theatre in Australia) ....

DIRTY DANCING: LIVE ON STAGE has broken box office records. During the Sydney season a total of 20 tickets were not sold. So far in Melbourne, only 1 performance has had 12 vacant seats. Apart from that the HOUSE FULL sign is up every show. (controversy .. it was not nominated for any of the Helpmann << similar to Tonys >> awards!!!!!!!!!!!!)

dreary old THE LION KING is playing to full houses as well. I saw it in Sydney and was not at all moved or involved in any of the character's plights. Absolutely no focus on the emotions of characters. Just a lot of visual flair. Same here in Melbourne.

Rumour has it we will get AVENUE Q next year (a co-production between Melbourne Theare Co and The Frost Organisation) and looks like WICKED will open in Sydney mid 2006. Possible talk of MARY POPPINS here but most likely not till 2007. And SPAMALOT looks like a strong contender for a spot in the 2006 calendar.

** sigh **

That really makes me smile. Last summer, when we came to NYC, one of my friends chose to go to cAROLINE OR CHANGE instead of AVENUE Q. Of course, we all came raving back to the room about AVENUE Q, and he felt obligated to talk about what a masterpiece CAROLINE was, much more so than any puppet show could possibly be. One listen to the cast recording of CAROLINE convinced me I made the right decision.

I would think CAROLINE would be a difficult show to mount and a difficult show to sell to the public.

CAROLINE OR CHANGE? Isn't that the one with Malcolm Getz as the gay guy who was the illustrator who became straight in the second season so that he coud date Caroline (because nobody liked Eric Lutz) and .................

Oh, I guess that was CAROLINE IN THE CITY

Yes, I will be chomping at the bit to find out about RED GARTERS! What a fun movie!

Betty Garrett - just don't get her message. She irritates me - maybe on a recording, it would be different. I guess she can blame the blacklist, but I would imagine there weren't a LOT of producers lined up to feature her in anything in particular.

I think anyone would have a right to blame a blacklist -- btw, the reported words were not hers! -- whether they're talented or not!
Anyone!

Know the story about Jerome Robbins???

Thank you D(TM), you are the first to send your greetings (unless you count Tomovoz, but I wasn't allowed to open the package from him). We will expect a full report, Dan, when you return.

Derek, I am sorry I missed chatting with you tonight!

George, run do not walk to eBay or amazon, and pick up Rachmaninov's Second Symphony. Tell them Bruce-O sent you - you'll be glad you did. The third movement is one of the most glorious pieces of music you will ever hear. It's been swiped by Mr. Carmen, by Don Sebesky, and by Mr. Manilow.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll get it, but I'm actually going to request it from the library where I work. Much cheaper that way.

Jason · « **Reply #293 on:** August 19, 2005, 11:25:19 PM »

If someone could just kill me now, I'd be grateful. While I was talking out boy problems with my roommate (her problems with a boy, specifically), I missed a phone call from the Greek who apparently is at a "special interest" bar in Manhattan. At said bar, the Greek heard the theme song to the Golden Girls and just "had to call me."

JUST HAD TO CALL ME BECAUSE THEY HEARD A SONG THAT REMINDED THEM OF ME?? Who does that?!?! No one has ever done that to/for me before. What does it mean? Why am I overanalyzing? I'm so confused and it's the little stuff like this that makes me even moreso. If I were a braver man, I'd approach the subject with the Greek, but I'd like to be the one to be chased for once, which is exactly what my roommate and I hashed out for nearly two hours about HER weird relationship. Am I crazy for thinking that the Greek is somewhat interested and/or thinking about me? I know that I've never just called up a "friend" because I heard a song that reminded me of them.

God, give me the strength to accept the things that I cannot change. There's more to that mantra (or womantra), but I can't remember it.

Jason · « **Reply #294 on:** August 19, 2005, 11:25:51 PM »

Despite all my emotional turmoil, I'm loving the Muppets. I'm nearly through Disc Two!

George · « **Reply #295 on:** August 19, 2005, 11:29:40 PM »

Okay, by request (I think), here is Gaston and Belle from the Japanese cast recording. (I hope it's not too big)

Tomovoz · « **Reply #296 on:** August 19, 2005, 11:40:11 PM »

Perhaps "The Greek" was just thanking you being a friend DR Jason. Perhaps a "drink" is what he needs for the courage. Perhaps the suggestion that you accompany him to said special interest bar may be fruitful.
There is that Oscar nominated song from 1959 "Strange Are The Ways Of Love". Of course it lost out to "High Hopes". We can read mesages in everything in times of heightened emotion!

Jason · « **Reply #297 on:** August 19, 2005, 11:53:15 PM »

Who can explain it? Who can tell you why? Maybe the Greek was just calling to "thank me for being a friend" as the song goes...I don't know. All I know is, I think about the Greek when I wake up and I think about the Greek when I go to bed and I think about the Greek pretty much every moment in between and it's driving me mad.

I was invited to join the Greek and friend at the "special interest" establishment tonight, but I declined so as to allow the Greek and friend to catch up and spend some quality time together. I would have felt weird tagging along.
