As for today's Topic of the Day...

In my CD player (when I get to work), will be two very lovely CDs that I just received from Tomovoz!  Thank you! :-*

In my DVD player:  three DVDs from Netflix, but I probably won't have time to watch them.

Tonight (Friday) I will be watching "Ghost Whisperer" and "Threshold."  

On Saturday and Sunday, I will be ushering for the latest Warren Miller movie that's going to be playing at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts.  This is always a hoot to usher for!  I can't wait. :D

What am I doing up at this hour?

Oh...you know.

Fortunately, from the time I turned the hard drive on, my sinuses began their clearing act.

So...I'm really ready to go back to bed.

Good morning all.  The first night since Monday that the Vixter, (and consequently vixdad and I ) have slept through the night. To add to that happy fact I havea closing this morning quite close to my house so I gett o go directly threr rather than to have to drive the thirty mils in rush hour tomy office, so I shall havea relatively leisurely morning as I sip my tea and peruse these notes before taking a morning bath and heading out.

I'm listening to WMKV Radio right now. I don't know what I'll listen to as the day progresses.

Sweeney has gotten generally good reviews (with a mixed from Howard Kissel at the Daily News). The Newsday review isn't posted yet. I haven't seen the AP review. I'll have to look for it.

Joy, I'm glad you enjoyed Souvenir. It was quite a funny and moving piece. Even though it's about Florence Foster Jenkins, the show is as much about her accompianist, Cosme. There are some very funny moments with Ms. Kaye giving a wonderful performance as a slightly off-kilter moneyed society matron. The ending, as Joy mentioned, is very touching. While I expected Judy Kaye to be wonderful (and she was), her co-star, Donald Corren, was wonderful. He's been around as both musician (he plays the piano in the show) and performer for many years. He's a real standout. The play treats Miss Foster Jenkins well. She's not mocked or made to look silly. She does hear in a different way. The end of the show lets us see that in a poignant way. If you're in NY I recommend the show.

Ben, I had received a discount flyer to Souveneir a week or so ago, oddly enough,  vixdad had been talking about her only  a few months ago, (I think she figured in a book he was reading called something like "The Book of Heroic Failures" or something like that)  and we were considering whether or not to go... is it family friendly or a grownups only sort of thing?

Had a great time with DR Jason last night. Anthony's been sick with a cold so he skipped last night's movie, East of Eden. The film is a real showcase for Mr. Dean. And Miss Van Fleet deserves her Oscar. What a performance.

I have a small pile of work on my desk so I must attend to it. I'll be back later.

It's not family unfriendly (Souvenir). Vixter might enjoy it. She's a smart girl. If she doesn't mind lots of art songs sung off-key it could be fun for her.

Feel better vibes for all who need them!

Bye for now.

Judy Kaye is an old friend of our estemed BK

And Miss Kaye is a fun person to be around. Met her during the recording of Jeepers Creepers and my photo of her landed up in Scarlett Street (although they never credited me)

Good Morning!

Sorry to have been E&T for the past 24 hours or so... I just was.

;)

I still have to read the posts from yesterday, as well as today's Notes...  but probably won't get to those until sometime later today - possibly tomorrow.  We shall see...

In the meantime, I have read some of the Sweeney reviews... :)

OH!  And Lestat made Michael Riedel's column in The New York Post this morning...  :-\

...But then again, it is Michael Riedel, so...

;)

Just read highlights from the other reviews. The only one who seemed to be remotely negative about SWEENEY was Howard Kissel, which is not surprising. Yes, everyone gushed over Sondheim's score, but they also loved the production itself - even Brantley.

And about 90% thought Patti was wonderful as Mrs. Lovett under this direction, and I agree. Many of them even pointed out the fact that she rather blends in with the rest of the cast rather than overtaking the show with a star turn, which is a feat for Ms. LuPone.

I'm happy it got the reviews it did - I really loved it and I hope the reviews are enough to keep it running for a while. It's a relatively cheap production - $3.5 million - so if it sells well, we may actually see a Sondheim show recoup its investment!
