Good morning, all! I dreamed I was orchestrating a Kander & Ebb show last night, but that's all I recall of it. Today I have a trip to Toyland and then a trip over to the Frank Loesser office to check out some thngs for the City Opera production of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA. After that, laundry: a day fraught with incident.
TOD:
I think my favorite folktale as a child was "Hansel and Gretel," mostly because of my fixation with the 1954 stop-motion film with a wonderful cast doing the speaking roles: Anna Russell, Mildred Dunnock, Frank Rogier, etc.
I was also crazy about Greek and Roman mythology, read child's versions of ILIAD and ODYSSEY many times as well as Hawthorne's "The Wonder Book" and "Tanglewood Tales," which I still prefer to his "adult" novels.
