Jrand - fingers crossed, hoping one day to be making parody fun of the Frances play raking in big bucks!

This is a simple Audio Parody with sing-along lyrics for the incredible prices and grosses for star vehicles on Broadway

COUGHED UP FOR SHAKESPEARE! - including a pictorial nod to the whole once-unimaginable concept of "David Mamet SRO at the Palace"

That's great, Freddie!

Inspired by DR Singdaw.

Those are really cute!

I still prefer the cat Singdaw posted. My favorites on the above link are the elephant and the dragon.

Mine were the elephant and the owl.

Since we are on page four I should mention that Keith got Wordle in four.

Good for Keith.

Love Life was wonderful! I wasn't so sure after the first act, but the second act pulled it together and delivered the emotional goods.

That's great, Michael!

George · « **Reply #159 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:22:53 PM »

I can't wait to get the recording of the other production. At least, I'll be able to hear the show as written.

I'm trying to think of how many Weill shows I've seen. Let's see:

- Der Protaganist
- Mahagonny-Songspiel
- Der Zar lässt sich photographieren
- The Threepenny Opera (plus once in the pit)
- Happy End
- Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny (never seen, but sung it twice)
- The Seven Deadly Sins
- Street Scene
- Love Life
- Lost in the Stars

So maybe 40% through or a bit more?

Wow! That's a lotta Weill!

Hi, Rodzinski.

Hello! Have a nice sleep!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #162 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:28:42 PM »

At l’aéroport.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #163 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:29:10 PM »

Couple hours early. The way I like it.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #164 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:31:04 PM »

The kids loved the Louvre. Seeing the three superstars of the museum, Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and the winged victory of Samothrace.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #165 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:31:23 PM »

Plus a few other baubles and trinkets.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #166 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:32:36 PM »

Had another nice tour guide, Beatrice. Much better than trying to wander around on our own.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #167 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:34:03 PM »

We received on our tours many compliments about our kids’ behavior which is a great thing to hear but probably more of a reflection of the behavior they are used to seeing from kids.

With a bootleg of Love Life, I come to the end of my Kurt Weill odyssey. It’s been about 38 hours of listening. What shall I listen to next?

My kids are definitely more patient than I would’ve been. The guide saved the Mona Lisa for the end, so that built up the suspense.

We’d started our day with a hot chocolate brunch at a fancy cafe along Rue de Rivoli.

Hi G!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #173 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:41:35 PM »

I just took a photo of a fashion advertisement in the terminal and a French policeman made me delete it from my phone. He was nice about it. But made sure I deleted it from my trash even. This was over by check-in, so maybe more strict there.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #174 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:43:25 PM »

I had a croque monsieur for lunch after the Louvre, and we shared a pavlova for dessert. That was new to me. Very meringue.

There is a lot of pixelated street art around Paris by a guy called Space Invader and his imitators. We had to show Lil Rodzette the pixel Mona Lisa.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #177 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:46:20 PM »

Last night it rained a bit, we did our only restaurant repeat by sharing a couple pizzas at a cafe we’d been to on Monday.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #178 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:46:34 PM »

The kids are sad to leave.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #179 on:** March 28, 2025, 11:47:02 PM »

I am aussi.
