Title: Re: GHOSTING
Post by: singdaw on November 05, 2022, 05:04:35 AM: From Frank Rich's New York Times review of Marlowe, 1981:

WHEN everything goes right in a musical, the audience feels a rush of exhilaration that is the quintessence of Broadway. And what happens when everything goes wrong? Well, when everything goes wrong, another kind of giddiness sets in - that same slaphappy feeling that comes when Laurel and Hardy send a grand piano crashing down a flight of stairs.

Such is the perverse pleasure offered by ''Marlowe,'' a wholly ridiculous show that is much more fun to sit through than many merely mediocre musicals. Like such famous Broadway fiascos as ''Kelly,'' ''Rachel Lily Rosenbloom,'' and ''Rockabye Hamlet,'' this one has the courage to meet vulgarity far more than halfway. If ''Marlowe'' isn't quite a classic of its kind, that's a matter of size, not content. Tacky-looking and sparsely populated, this show lacks the Titanic-like splendor and expenditure of Broadway's all-time fabulous wrecks.

Post by: ChasSmith on November 05, 2022, 06:27:50 AM: Immediately upon arriving home last night I started sneezing like a sunnybeach. My sinuses felt sore, I felt tired all over, and the sneezing continued. I hoped it was just allergies, and I popped a Benadryl to insure getting some decent sleep. I then tested for Covid this morning, and I'm all clear in that department. I think the crap is easing up, but I'll take care today to make sure it's passing. I also need to ketchup on my flu shot and every other kind of shot.

Well we petitioned the court to close our uncle's estate yesterday and sent out the FINAL PAYOUT checks to the gaping maws.....our balance is now $zero. We finished the ledger with ALL transactions clearly in place.

My sister is on her way to spend a week with her daughter her husband and her almost new grand daughter.

Except I forgot to say that Rob Berman (and Josh, for a brief moment) made an appearance in a dream about three nights ago. Rob was about to conduct some huge production of God only knows what in some humongous venue. I woke up before I could be seated, or even figure out what it was.

Thanks DR singdaw!

Eleven months - $1,057,000 - two houses - three cars - a house full of STUFF - and two kitties - and 24 heirs.

We are DONE.

$1,057,000.00! Gee, my mom never told me that DADDY had done so well! Perhaps we should consider reopening the estate, Jack?
