TOD:
Without question, what is in fact one of my favorite performances by anyone ever is Cage in Vampire’s Kiss. It was sort of a life-changing experience for me. I went back and saw it at the Tara theater in Atlanta four times and have home viewed it many times since. It was Cage at his most bonkers and committed, but at the time all anyone wanted to talk about was him eating a cockroach in a scene. I don’t think he’s ever managed the same weird energy, though he’s tried. I’d have watched him in anything for a few years there.

Totally different weird energy in Peggy Sue, which I love as well, but his leading lady understandably loathed.

Nice story DR ELMORE.

I've worked on a couple of Durang plays and was in a production of The Marriage of Bette & Boo which was a lot of fun.

I was also in a production of Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You.

DR Elmore, are the full score and parts not linked, so that he only has to make the changes in one place?

(Listen to me, going on like I know what the HELL I’m talking about. Give me a little knowledge and I am dangerous, man.)

As far as I know, they're linked. I cannot imagine Doug would make things harder. Act One is now officially finished.

DR elmore3003, does Annabelle have Carmen Miranda aspirations?

Regarding Meadowlark, the 1990 London recording doesn't use the orchestral intro. Since it's a cast recording, Sharon Lee Hill includes the "What does he think I am?" intro that I've only heard on cast recordings. But the first verse is slow, similar to what's on Egan's recording and different from what's on LuPone's and Callaway's recordings.

MichaelG · « **Reply #39 on:** April 04, 2024, 09:04:56 AM »

I went on a Meadowlark deep dive yesterday after reading the notes and seeing the forum posts.

From DR George:

Does your tablet have a separate flash drive for extra storage? One of my tablets has 64GB of internal memory, but I can add a microSD card for up to 400GB extra memory.

LOL, I have no idea. It is something to look into if I can't reduce the storage after reducing the apps. I just don't want to sit that long at my computer researching how to do it. I'm sure Keith can help me.

I never heard of Messenger Lite before.

DR Vixmom I received the same suggestion when I got my last pair of glasses. I never heard that before.

Off to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned. I hope I can sit ok in the chair. I'm taking bubble things from packages to elevate my leg off of the chair.

In 1988, we had a wonderful employee at the Drama Book Shop, Spencer Cox, who left us after a year to go back to Bennington. His favorite playwright was Chris Durang. On the morning of Spencer's last day, I called Chris and asked him if he would mind coming into the shop and signing a couple of his play collections. Chris did, I introduced him to Spencer, which made his day. I then purchased the books Chris had signed and gave them to spencer at the end of the day.

That's so sweet, Larry.

TOD:

Nicolas Cage has always been hit or miss for me.

Among his hits (in which I really liked him) are

Valley Girl
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Birdy
The Boy in Blue
Raising Arizona
Moonstruck
Guarding Tess
It Could Happen to You
City of Angels
Family Man
Knowing

Loved the film, but not so much Cage:

Peggy Sue Got Married

Another Thursday! Yikes!

Had a nice lunch from The Triangle (Don't be Square, Eat at The Triangle). Thursday is cubed steak day and I had rice and grave, plus corn, with my meal. Yum.

Much to do.

The play DR RODZINSKI was talking about was one of six Durang plays put together to make Durang, Durang......

Some of them are very funny parodies of famous plays.....

Package has been delivered, so I'll go retrieve that now, then think about food.

One of the reasons I haven't been able to stick to the diet before is because during the first week, I always feel like I'm gaining, not losing weight and it's frustrating. I'm at that point now, but I'm not stopping.

I shall stay on the road until I've lost at least twenty-five pounds, and then I'll lose another twenty-five.

How did we get stuck on page 2?

Freddie · « **Reply #58 on:** April 04, 2024, 12:26:59 PM »

Maybe before BK starts saying "I do not care for page 2"

Freddie · « **Reply #59 on:** April 04, 2024, 12:27:19 PM »

We should try to find page 3
