Well, you've read the notes, the notes were a pepper upper, and now it is time for you to post until the pepped up cows come home. They just took some crystal MOOth.

To continue from last night, this is looking up at the loft from the stage:

TOD: My favorite film musicals tend to be adaptations. Hair is probably number one, with Cabaret and Chicago way up there.

DR George, I sure am grateful for folks like you who can handle those heights. For our operas the stage manager calls the show from the booth at the rear of the theatre, with the ASM in one of the wings. The people who really have to deal with heights are the follow spot operators.

Yup! At the Washington Center here in Olympia, there are four levels: orchestra (bottom floor), loge, mezzanine, and balcony. The follow spot operators here are also high up in the balcony:

Good morning, all!

I slept well anmd was at 5:15 when the alarm rang. I had a docntment at 10:15 this morn ing, but the trip to East 22nd Street is a long one and I always like to have time for kitty cleanup before Access-a-Ride shows up.

As I went through my emails, I heard on the TV news that there is a ticker tape parade this morning, meaning all traffice below 42nd Street could be a mess. I immediately got online with my HMO, rescheduled my appointment to next week, and canceled Access-a-Ride. This give me more time this morning to get through "Gotta Have Gimmick."

DR vixmom, what good luck you have! I'm very happy your tire story was so easily resolved.

My life continues in a holding pattern: waiting for the book to be published, waiting for something to happen with the ballet, waiting for a release of the CD, and more productions, of Moonshine and Mistletoe.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 24, 2024, 03:49:36 AM »

And waiting for a good paying job!

DR JohnG, I hadn't though much about the Anthony Hopkins King Lear, but now I'd like to see it. I haven't seen Ian McKellan's performance either, but I did like Ian Holms very much.

Ian Holm was my favorite Lear

Many don't know that My Favorite Year was originally entitled My Favorite Lear.

Good morning, friends.

And others.

And Sir Andrew Lloyd-Webber's song from Sunset Boulevard, "The Perfect Year," was originally entitled "The Perfect Lear."

But I digress.

Which I am wont to do.

"Food" is pretty generic.

singdaw · « **Reply #25 on:** October 24, 2024, 04:32:29 AM »

But I guess "bologna" isn't "food"?

Useful information. I certainly did not know that

Freddie · « **Reply #27 on:** October 24, 2024, 05:01:15 AM »

but here it is on the internet so there must be some level of truth to it.

To repeat the Doris Day PILLOW TALK title song lyric: There must!

George, that set-up for your stage manager perch looks a bit daunting to me.

So glad it doesn't bother you!
