Title: Re: THE BOYS IN THE BAND
Post by: elmore3003 on March 29, 2022, 03:38:49 AM: I did indeed sleep very well last night. I had a strange dream about the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company playing at a Broadway theatre, traveling up to Bosdton, and then returning to Broadway for another couple of performances before returning to England. I don't know if I were an audience member or part of the touring company.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on March 29, 2022, 04:41:06 AM: I have an appointment this morning in North Augusta for some needed dental surgery (am getting some implants).

My cousin Debra is taking me and bringing me home. I opted for sedation. It's one thing to have folks poking around in my mouth and quite another thing entirely when they may be digging around.

Title: Re: THE BOYS IN THE BAND
Post by: ChasSmith on March 29, 2022, 06:01:27 AM: DR Elmore, you never saw the D'Oyly Carte live? I think it was in my first year at school, their tour brought them through Cleveland and I saw The Mikado and Iolanthe.

I had earlier seen their filmed-on-stage version of The Mikado during my senior year in high school, which I thrilled to and went back to a couple of times.

I feel overwhelmed by the vast number of movies that open every week. Rogerebert.com reviews about a dozen titles every single week. Then how many more from the vault are offered up on DVD or YouTube? It’s like all of the operas available on metopera.com last year or the full-length videos of musicals on YouTube. Or pirated cast recordings. Or …

Title: Re: THE BOYS IN THE BAND
Post by: elmore3003 on March 29, 2022, 01:16:47 PM: I will also bring up what I consider the worst work of my two favorites:
Robert Russell Bennett: Bells Are Ringing; the film orchestrations are so right, Bennett just doesn't get it.

Jonathan Tunick: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum: his work is too tasteful and it misses the bawdy, vulgar, brassy burlesque of the original work.

CBS News did a big segment on the Will Smith slap of Chris Rock, plus the profanity shouts.

Some predict the Academy will punish Smith in some way, but few think it might result in a loss of his Oscar.

My guess they won't give him prime seating next time.

Maybe they'll force him to host next year. I'd say that would be a punishment.

DR Ron I hope your implant surgery went well.

I was very nervous, and everyone was reassuring and explained everything that would be done. The sedation was via IV. The funny thing is, I remember the doctor talking to me, and then the IV was started, and the next thing I knew it was all over. They wheeled me into a room to allow sedation to wear off and then I was done. I was totally unaware of them doing a thing, and I have experienced no pain and no swelling.

To put it frankly, I am dazzled by the experience.

The vocal performances are just okay, but the sound of the orchestra is wonderful.

Post by: George on March 29, 2022, 10:31:01 PM: Since my car is so old (and a headlight is out...even after I bought new bulbs and checked the fuses ::) ), my sister said that I could borrow her car for the drive to Centralia and back.

Post by: George on March 29, 2022, 10:40:08 PM: I also recently also got the French cast recording (https://castalbums.org/recordings/Mamma-Mia-2011-Original-Paris-Cast/22336), so maybe I'll listen to that tomorrow or Thursday.

Post by: George on March 29, 2022, 10:44:07 PM: I also know that they've been trying to get more into the cast.

Post by: George on March 29, 2022, 10:44:32 PM: Well, I think just more people in general.

DR Ron I hope your implant surgery went well.

I was very nervous, and everyone was reassuring and explained everything that would be done. The sedation was via IV. The funny thing is, I remember the doctor talking to me, and then the IV was started, and the next thing I knew it was all over. They wheeled me into a room to allow sedation to wear off and then I was done. I was totally unaware of them doing a thing, and I have experienced no pain and no swelling.

To put it frankly, I am dazzled by the experience.

I thought Ron wrote that the sedation was by TV. Yeah, a couple of episodes of THE GOOD DOCTOR would be enough for me.

Post by: TCB on March 29, 2022, 11:15:53 PM: Ron, was this to remove the old, or to implant the new?

Post by: TCB on March 29, 2022, 11:29:15 PM: I now know is name is Jacob Elordi. I don ‘ know if he is as tall as he looked, or the girl presenter was really short.

Post by: TCB on March 29, 2022, 11:29:49 PM: I think it was a combination of the two.

Nope. That's from the IBDB listing (https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-production/mamma-mia-12925) of the Broadway production.
