Joshie may stop by this morning with "Have an Egg Roll, Mr Goldstone," and I will give him "Small World," which is quite interesting: Merman's orchestration for the song on the original Broadway cast album is not the orchestration in the band parts or published vocal score.

Inneresting. Very inneresting.

I must go back and listen to that. It's been a long time.

I am reminded that I had one of my lost-car (this one was actually a stolen-car) dreams last night. I awoke from it at 2:33 a.m. What a bloody relief it is when you're awake enough to realize something like that was but a dream.

The car was a powder-blue one of some vintage. I've never had a blue car. The color was based on something seen on Facebook yesterday.

DRT John G, I have not read Water for Elephants, but I really enjoyed the movie adaptation. My friend Jim Norton, who played Finian in the 2009 revival of Finian's Rainbow, has a wonderful role as a circus roustabout.

BK wrote in the Notes: "I need to get the damn blood flowing and my metabolism working and in shape for the show I’ll be directing early next year."

BK, when will this be announced? 

[Freddie]

On the subject of GYPSY -

This was the duet Patti LuPone did with Randy Rainbow just before the 2020 election.

And it seems to have worked - Donald lost that election!

In other Culture news:

Chipotle is launching - a Halloween costume collection?

"On September 6, Chipotle is launching its first-ever costume collection featuring a napkin, fork, water cup, burrito and to-go bag."

Nikki Renee Daniels is an astonishing actress/singer. I highly recommend her album.

Here she is, live, singing "Spark of Creation" from Stephen Schwartz's Children of Eden:

I saw Thelma recently, and agree with BK - it was enjoyable, but didn't quite deliver on the premise. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but BK has succinctly summarized the pluses and minuses.

I just dozed off in a chair for 45 minutes. Not sure how I am going to make it through this work day. But the boss is out today and tomorrow, so I must soldier on.

DR VIXMOM I just heard about that play yesterday....I liked reading DISGRACED a lot....so this play should be interesting.

Please tell RDJ hello for me and tell him to give me a call.

Kitty cleanup is over and I am back from the basement. This morning kitty cleanup was particularly nasty. One of the cats, and I suspect it's Stella, had diarrhea all over the basin of the bathtub, so I had to clean out the mess and scrub the tub down with scouring cleanser; this added about fifteen minutes to the usual task.

I have got to land a job that pays me enough to get the three cats to a vet in the very near future.

[elmore3003]

I would add:
Tea with the Dames
The Trip to Bountiful
The Whisperers

I had a bad night of sleep, including a recurring dream of having to pack up someone's flag collection as part of a job. The first time I woke from that, I realized I was glad to be retired and that it was only a dream.

[John G.]

Then I had it again

This is pretty funny, about programming for regional theaters dealing with their budgets

"YOUR FAVORITE REGIONAL THEATER’S (HONEST) SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT!"
https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/your-favorite-regional-theaters-honest-season-announcement


A highlight is their dog-friendly approach
"If you would like to purchase a subscription package for your dog, they are welcome! No crate is required; they are free to eat, bark, and scratch, and they will honestly not be that different from many of our current patrons. Please have dogs refrain from cell phone usage, taking photographs, or unwrapping candy during the performance."

Nice bookplate, G.

Thanks, Rodzinski.
