Were you successful?

Post by: elmore3003 on February 08, 2020, 04:01:43 AM: The third dream may nave been a part of my dream about Rob Berman and London, but it was about the Rodgers & Hart show Dearest Enemy. I was watching video of the 1925 production and listening to recordings of the Australian production.

Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: Jrand74 on February 08, 2020, 07:10:15 AM: Orson Bean! Oh my....I didn't even know he was still with us. I enjoy him on the ILLYA DARLING! cast CD - from Kritzerland - but when I was a young person watching TV, I thought he was the MOST annoying panelist on the quiz shows. This is especially true of TO TELL THE TRUTH where he was a regular.....ANNOYING!!! I don't want to use the word insufferable, so I won't.

I did not know he was married to Alley Mills - who played the mom on The Wonder Years (and currently on The Bold & The Beautiful)...
Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: elmore3003 on February 08, 2020, 07:22:36 AM: We are home.
Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: elmore3003 on February 08, 2020, 07:24:29 AM: As soon as I carried poor little Thatch out of the apartment he began to cry. By the time the taxi let us out at City Vet, he was in the feline equivalent of a fetal position with his tail wrapped tightly around his body. He stopped crying, but I knew he was terrified.
Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: elmore3003 on February 08, 2020, 07:26:44 AM: When we got to Dr. Mohr's office, I opened the carrier to let him out, but he refused to move. I lifted hinm out through the top access and he jumped back inside. When Dr. Mohr showed up, we went through questions I had.
Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: elmore3003 on February 08, 2020, 07:31:44 AM: Thatch now weighs 10 lbs.
His temperature was normal.
Both eyes show signs of conjunctivitis, so I have some terramycin for his eyes. Dr Mohr suggested I wait till tomorrow to begin it since he's been through a lot today.
He has his shots and his claws were trimmed.
The worst news? He's developed gingivitis since last year's checkup, and I need to have a thorough dental checkup on him as soon as I can afford it.
Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: elmore3003 on February 08, 2020, 07:32:57 AM: Now that he's home and his panic is over, he's been rubbing against me, so I guess I'm forgiven for his ordeal.
Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: elmore3003 on February 08, 2020, 07:33:52 AM: I'm dedicating this orchestration of "Loving You" to my golden boy Thatch.

Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: John G. on February 08, 2020, 07:42:56 AM: Sad story about Orson Bean. I, like JRand, originally knew him from game shows and found him far from amusing. Way far. But I love him on Subways Are for Sleeping and like him on Ilyia Darling. (The quality of material is so different.)

But I find his connection to Andrew Breitbart so disgusting, so abhorrent that I don’t want to go near that part of his life.

I refuse to let her see it, but she loves the DVD of the stage version and she's determined to play Grizabella onstage.

Very occasionally, at a good deli, I will get a turkey sandwich on good Jewish rye bread with lettuce, maybe tomatoes, and lots of may.

That sounds like fun.

I think the actors are keeping a tally backstage of how many people leave during each performance.

Why would anyone walk out of NOISES OFF?

I would completely agree with this sandwich without the cranberry sauce; and if I had a clue what Panera oat bread is.

Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: TCB on February 08, 2020, 11:34:33 PM: I felt kind of bad for Tracy, because she was only asked to read one time.
Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: TCB on February 08, 2020, 11:35:24 PM: I thought she did a great job, but I am not the director.
Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: TCB on February 08, 2020, 11:36:53 PM: I told Tracy that she probably didn’t read more because the director already knew what she could do as an actress.
Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: TCB on February 08, 2020, 11:38:16 PM: I kind of got the feeling that both of us were there because we had asked, rather than because we were wanted.
Title: Re: IN MY MIND'S EYE - OPENING NIGHT
Post by: TCB on February 08, 2020, 11:40:08 PM: I am proud of my reading. I gave it my all. I guess it just depends on whether or not she wants to deal with the wheelchair.

Yup. Being a three-quarter thrust theater can make it look smaller than it is.
