This show is constructed surprisingly well with the breaking of the fourth wall and audience participation, which keeps every performance refreshing.

Of course I dread the inevitable day or evening with a poor house consisting of dullards. We shall see.

It is 20 degrees here heading for 32 degrees.

Sunday.  But at least the sun is shining this first day of December.

I googled the Brooklyn Academy of Music Gershwein Celebration; it was 1987. It was a gala night, for which I was one of Michael Tilson Thomas' assistants, followed by a run of wonderful concert performances of Of Thee I Sing and Let Then Eat Cake. I only worked on the gala, which included the following artists: Chita Rivera, Julia Migenes, Madeline Kahn, Maureen McGovern, Rosemary Clooney, Greg Burge, Larry Kert, Bob Dylan, Christopher walken, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Leonard Bernstein, and Johnny Green. I'm sure I've forgotten someone important.

It was a great experience, and besides being a bit of a zoo, it was a wonderful concert.

Nice. Is that the gala that led to the recordings?

Yes. I believe they recorded the week after the concerts.

Frost was everywhere this morning.

First frost I've seen since last April.

I don't know if any punkins were out and about being frosted, but they might have been

Today is a no-nonsense day.

Today is clear liquids only.  And Maalox tablets...two already taken and two more at 1.

Then at 4:30, the Golytely begins.

Ack!  Ack-Ack!

ACK-ACK-ACK!

Sounds awful!

 Is Golytely indeed pronounced the same as Holly Golightly?

I assume it is.  Tte spelling seems to lend itself to it.

Possible question for Free-for-All Day:

Do you think GoLytely's play on the character name Golightly was intentional.

I don't think they had that name for the solution back then.  But, I may be incorrect.

Happy December to one and all!  The latest Broadway Radio Show is now up on the website... it's an At This Theatre episode where we look at the history of the musicals that have played at the Richard Rodgers Theatre (formerly known as the 46th Street Theatre)... from Good News in 1927 right up to its current hit tenant Hamilton!

I'm sure it was DR FREDDIE.

When I was called about my instructions for my December 11 experience - I was given the choice of a pill, the liquid, or Maalox and Gatorade.

I chose Gatorade and Maalox......but it's still 9 days away.

Here's the link to the Times obituary for Oscar winner Marshall Brickman



https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/01/movies/marshall-brickman-dead.html
"Marshall Brickman, Woody Allen’s Co-Writer on Hit Films, Dies at 85
The duo won an Oscar for 'Annie Hall.' Mr. Brickman went on to write Broadway shows, including 'Jersey Boys,' and make movies of his own."
