My friend who had been planning to direct Mattress up here in Nov.-Dec. saw the Encores! production and absolutely loved the orchestra, but he just re-summarized it to me thusly:"Charles, it was really horrible, like a really really bad sitcom. They stripped it of all its charm."

That's quite a resume DR ELMORE.....I can't wait for the book!
Anyone listening to Here We Are today?
Has anyone ever seen Fanny Price and Fanny Brice in the same room at the same time?
.
DR George, are you going to give us the Amélie repor?
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep interrupted at six by a thirty-minute allergy attack. Took the last of my twelve-hour pills, so later this evening I'll go get more.
As to it going to Broadway - why is every show now a limited run (or so they say)? But this is purely a Sutton thing because they all feel she's a draw.
DR George, you're not a pack rat. You're a curator.
TOD:Am expecting delivery today of "Dune, Part 2" on 4K Blu ray. I don't know if I will watch it right away, but it is in my near future of things to see.
I hope this at least brings some good news for DR Elmore and Josh. Fame!!! Fortune!!! Ya know?

ChasSmith, do The Brain from Planet X for heaven's sake. Small band, great orchestrations by you-know-who, and FUNNY, with great roles for everyone.

I've told these people it's out there, but some of them feel the sting of recent shitty home-grown Dickens adaptations, and it's going to take some time to get past that.
