Well, you've read the notes, the notes were written on April 1st and were foolish, and now it is time for you to post until the foolish April cows come home.

I slept 12 hours before the postman forced me to get out of bed and receive a package.  So, I decided to bathe, dress and get on with my day.  When the postman ranf - once - I was dreaming that I was in an elevation of a 10-storey building.  One of my companions had hit the basement button instead of the first floor. We ended up on 10, with a huge crowd tryih to enter when the door rang.

The adjudicators for our show were very complimentary, but also very nit picky of the show.  According to our director, that is a good sign for a show that is a possible contender to go to nationals.

Good luck the wait isn't too long Chas.

It was way less than they'd estimated...and you can't beat the price:   $0.00

It was a little thing they'd actually fixed for free along with a big job a few months ago, and even as busy as they were today, they re-fixed it for free.  Can't beat that for service.  But they've gotten a lot of money out of me in the past few years, and they'll be getting more soon for a couple of things that are coming due.

I took the garbage to the basement and got trapped between floors on my return.  I took it back to the basement, rode up again with the super, and all was fine.

The super tells me he called the elevator company on Thursday but there's been no response.  I have to do laundry today or tomorrow but I am worried about the situation. I do not want to be stuck in an elevator.

So far I'm untrapped by the elevator.  The laundry is in the deyers.  The elevator seems to like stopping between 1 & 2, and 2 & 3. Once it stops and the doors open between floors, it then stops on the next floor.

I have one more basement trip to bring up the dry clothes.  I hope it will keep running until then.

TOD - I could write forever on this topic.  But to keep it personal, here are a few thoughts.

I actually love Legally Blonde from a musicians stand point.  The books are fun to play, but yes, a lot of it sounds the same.

Shows I shake my head and wonder "WHY" - Shrek, most juke box shows that aren't Mamma Mis, Jersey Boys or Beautiful

And the three that I think are interchangeable because they all sound the same Book of Mormon, Spamalot, and Something Rotten.   These three are all male voice heavy and all have the same vocal sound.  I'm tired of that sound.  I do love Spamalot, but you can keep the other 2.

Thank goodness for things like Fun Home and the new Come From Away to break the overly commercial mode of Broadway today. 

Then there's Hamilton - in a category in itself, much of which IMHO is personal hype that seems to make it better than it is.

I don't listen to a lot of recent shows, with the exception of Bright Star and the individual songs I'll find in Flaherty and Ahrens' shows. Menken can also do some good, some lousy stuff.

I think Book of Mormon is perhaps the worst I've heard of the recent ilk.

I saw Legally Blonde as a guest of a business associate... I was ready to chew off my leg to escape after the opening song.  But I started to go with the flow after the restaurant scene,as Elle gained my sympathy and by the court room scene I was thoroughly enjoying myself   It may have helped that it was the original Broadway cast about a week before the official opening

Stumble-through was truly hilarious - one of our funniest shows ever.  I was actually taken aback by how many laughs the What if that opens the show got - literally non-stop.  Hoping our audience finds it just as funny.  There were only a couple of lyric flubs, and the running gag I created for little Hayley Shukiar also got HUGE laughs - this girl is something else.

but now, I'm starting to worry that it's all going to turn out to be a big April Fool joke.

I couldn't get through one full listen to the score of Waitress. And that's too bad. I had loved the movie. Charming little film.

Have also been listening to Bruce Springsteen read his autobiography. It's quite good, and like his music, I think the book is probably better heard. His writing has a rhythm and music to it.

I have also gotten within 50 pages of finishing the fifth volume of Proust. This volume, The Prisoner, has been the least effective, but it is mercifully shorter than the others.

I only had a cup of chicken soup and a bagel.  Then a little low-cal ice cream, and one scrambled egg, so pretty good calorie-wise.

By the way, the winning show, also from Tacoma, was Tacoma Musical Playhouse's (first Act only) THE ADDAMS FAMILY.  Seems appropriate considering the Topic of the Day.

Tonight, one of the young actors from the runner's up show said to me tonight that after watching our show last night, they all sat around for an hour and a half just talking about how incredible our show was.

I've been at home all day just watching TV and not doing laundry.  I now need to leave to go to my parents', then it's off to the theater.

Be back later.

I'm home and fed. :)

After TTtB, I go to where 1984 is playing to pick up the till and my tablet.  Tonight as I was just standing in our little consessions area as people were leaving, one woman told me that she sees a lot of theater and this was one of the best things that she has ever seen!
