Well, the manuscript Love Life vocal score is not where it should be. So, was I looking at it and left it somewhere in the apartment some tie ago or did I lend it out and never got it back? Damnation!

MD is trying to get a sub but can't find anyone. But the real issue is his score - it's got his scribbles in it and I don't think anyone will be able to decipher it much, plus he also has to cue the drummer for a lot of stuff and no sub will know that. This is NOT the show OR cast to do this to. It would be one thing if the score had been properly printed rather than being what it is - but it never ran long enough for that to happen. So, it's very hard to read and I cannot see a sub walking in and just doing it out of the blue. That's a recipe for disaster. It's not like a reed or trumpet sub - those parts are properly printed and easy to read because they were created for the recording.

I used to have one of DR Ginny's work; I have no idea where it is now. Probably with my Love Life score.

BK, you mentioned that Doug said there's $1,000 of tickets sold for that week, but isn't the real question how much is actually already sold for that one performance?  And would those buyers really not accept an exchange for anther night?

Did your MD do the last big tour of The King & I or am I thinking it was someone else?

This turned up on Facebook yesterday, to my surprise.

In spring 1987, the New York City Gay Men's Chorus did a movie concert, hosted by my late great friend Vito Russo, author of The Celluloid Closet. The Jerry Herman song from A Day in Hollywood, A Night in the Ukraine was the opening number.



Nice!
