Well, you've read the notes, the notes were mellow and in a mood, and now it is time for you to post until the mellow cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SCOPOPHILIA!

After seeing the final dress of a local production of Amélie last night, I drove through McD's and got one of their Spicy McCrispy™ and a McDouble® and a large diet Coke. ::)

Good morning, friends.

DR George, are you going to give us the Amélie repor?

:)

I, myself, am an "8" today.

Listening to the slow movement of Vaughan Williams's Suite for Viola and Small Orchestra. Beautiful.

Anyone listening to Here We Are today?

DR George, you're not a pack rat. You're a curator.

Good morning, all!

The alarm rang ay 6:20, and I turned it off to cuddle with Annabelle. I got up at 7:15; I have no idea where the time went.
-
I have never seen Peeping Tom, and I have always wanted to. I've loved Annab Massey since seeing Frenzy in 1972. She was married for a while to Jeremy Brett, who left her, frienmds tell me, for a gondolier. The same British friends tell me that Anna Massey was Prince Charles' mistress for some time.
-
BK, I think I have mentioned this before, but Vince Mendoza was a class or two ahead of me in high school. Such a talented guy.
-
By the 1980s, Anna Massey was primarily playing demented crazy old hags. She played a doozy of a killer in a Midsomer Murders episode, and she's the nasty Aunt Norris tormenting Fanny Price in the BBC miniseries Mansfield Park.

I've got to get to work. I promised this score to Joshie on Monday.

Good morning, everyone.
Wonderful night's sleep. Pleasant dreams, what little I can recall of them (happily).
Today IS Friday! Yesterday felt like Saturday all day, so I am at sixes and sevens.
I have a haircut appointment at 11 a.m.

Last night, I watched the series finales to two shows:
"Young Sheldon" was up first and it was handled quite beautifully, I thought. There has been a lot of grousing on Facebook about why CBS would "end" it's number 1 comedy show, but it was planned all along. When Sheldon reached the age of 14, his father must die and Sheldon must be off to Cal Tech (which Missy, hilariously, thought was called "Cow" Tech).
Even Annie Potts, who plays his beloved Meemaw has been quoted as saying she thought they'd lost their minds (or something much more mildly expressed) for ending the show while it remains a big hit for the network.
The fact is that "Young Sheldon" is a back story for the eccentric genius Sheldon Cooper, star of "The Big Bang Theory." Much about Sheldon's past wa spart of the lore of TBBT, and Young Sheldon had to adhere to that lore.
-
I think I am a 2 today.
-
Made it to Kos. Went on a nice walk around the hotel, down to the sea and back.
-
Two!
-
The second series finale was for "So Help Me Todd", my favorite show on TV right now.
It has done extremely well, ratings-wise, and many CBS shows aren't doing as well. They have been renewed, but "So Help Me Todd" was not. CBS has done a lousy job explaining their decision to drop the show, and the fans of the show are furious.
Much ado has been expressed about some other network needing to pick it up and continue the show, but no one has stepped up as yet.
The season's final show, which - when shot - was not known to be the series finale, was a cliff-hanger.
So, only time will tell.
But, from my lips to all ears that will listen: BADLY DONE, CBS!

Has anyone ever seen Fanny Price and Fanny Brice in the same room at the same time?

Once Upon a Mattress with Sutton Foster is going to Broadway. So, another Broadway credit for our dear DR elmore3003!

Okay, it's out there now.

A "Broadway Briefing" email:
They've set an opening for a princess.
"Sutton Foster to lead Broadway revival of ‘Once Upon a Mattress’" by Broadway News' Ruthie Fierberg - "Broadway is preparing to welcome the classic musical “Once Upon a Mattress” to the Hudson Theatre this summer. Following a run with New York City Center’s Encores! series, the revival, guided by Tony Award-winning producers Seaview and Creative Partners Productions, is scheduled to begin previews on July 31 ahead of an official opening of Aug. 12. The limited engagement is set to run through Nov. 30.
Sutton Foster will lead the cast, reprising her role as Winnifred the Woebegone. Encores! artistic director Lear deBessonet, who was Tony-nominated for the Main Stem transfer of her Encores! “Into the Woods,” will direct this production that features a new adaptation by Emmy Award winner Amy Sherman-Palladino (co-creator of TV’s “Bunheads,” which starred Foster), based on the original book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller and Marshall Barer. “Mattress” features a score by Mary Rodgers (music) and Barer (lyrics). ...
The creative team for this revival will also include choreographer Lorin Latarro, Tony-winning scenic designer David Zinn, costume designer Andrea Hood, Tony-wining lighting designer Justin Townsend, Tony-winning sound designer Kai Harada, music supervisor Mary-Mitchell Campbell, music director Annbritt du Chateauas, Tony-winning orchestrator Bruce Coughlin and hair/wig designer J. Jared Janas. ... Further casting, by the Telsey Office, will be announced. General Management will be provided by Wagner Johnson Productions. Cody Renard Richard will serve as production stage manager."

Does that mean they're re-orchestrating it again?

TOD:
Am expecting delivery today of "Dune, Part 2" on 4K Blu ray. I don't know if I will watch it right away, but it is in my near future of things to see.

I hope this at least brings some good news for DR Elmore and Josh.
Fame!!! Fortune!!! Ya know?

DR FREDDIE I really like the staging in that clip! And Ruby Wax is so great - she's Betty Monroe, mentioned in a song in ROCKY HORROR SHOW.
She unlocks the door with a hairpin so they can escape.....and at the end of the clip, she uses the hairpin to jump start the Thunderbird. She also steadies Charles Gray when he stumbles as the chasse out of the row of chairs.
The traveling with the shag kicks and an underarm turn and the turn in waltz hold....it's all just so much fun.
-
Once Upon A Mattress - that's the title of my autobiography.
And of course there is the story - possibly apocryphal that a local reporter asked a woman who was turning 110 years old:
"Have you ever been bedridden?"
And she replied:
"Oh yes. And twice in a buggy."
-
Rehearsal vibes for MR BK & Co.

I haven't received my book yet.

I haven't received my book yet.
Oh no. This doesn't bode well for those of us on the right coast.

Does that mean they're re-orchestrating it again?
Or they're using Coughlin's work from the Sarah Jessica Parker revival.

Went to the market and got in line behind a German family who bought everything in the store. I finally got my water and that was that.

This is the last of several shows I've lost to Bruce Coughlin:
1. ON THE TOWN, Central Park - I was booke when Charlie Harmon asked me to do it and I recommended Coughlin;
2. THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE - when the show was announced, the composer wanted me; the producer and lyric writer wanted another from JELLY'S LAST JAM; the producer told the composer about me "we don;t want that tiny Goodspeed sound"; by the time it got tp Broadway, Coughlin was doing it with a tiny Goodspeed band;
3. CANDIDE (National Theatre of Great Britain) - Charlie Harmon asked me to do it and I accepted; Charlie sent my resume to England anbd told me we would finish the paperwork when he returned from vacation; when he returned a month later, he told me Harry Kraut had hired Coughlion behind his back and I was out;l
4. ANNIE GET YOUR GUN - Tony Walton recommended me, and I had two long phone calls with their music director who assured me he would recommend me; when I saw Coughglin was doing it, I call the SOB MD who said Coughlion was "an old buddy"; Ted Chapin told me my name never came up;
5. URINETOWN - I ran into Danny Marcus, who was cast, and he told me they didn't have an orchestrator so I called their music director Eddie Strauss, who told me Coughlin was doing it.
Jesus H,. Christ!
In 2001, when John McGlinn brought that Kern-Herbert project to me, I grabbed it, just to get out of the two-faced Broadway scene
-
OMG. What a history.

My friend who had been planning to direct Mattress up here in Nov.-Dec. saw the Encores! production and absolutely loved the orchestra, but he just re-summarized it to me thusly:
"Charles, it was really horrible, like a really really bad sitcom. They stripped it of all its charm."
-
DR Elmore, I haven't even listened to the entire SJP recording, but I didn't like what I heard. It kind of represented everything I dread about revivals.
-
I gotta get to work!

If you've lost MATTRESS, you might look at THE TRIUMPH OF LOVE; it's intelligent, funny, and the score is really lovely.

I too am sad that SO HELP ME TODD is gone..... Fun characters and some fine actors on the show.....
-
That's quite a resume DR ELMORE.....I can't wait for the book!

I don't know it. Thank you!
We're also thinking about trying for one of the shows for which there's a good two-piano version. (Not Streets of New York, though, not this time around.)

Cherry Cobbler Day and Pizza Party Day sounds like an enjoyable combo.

ChasSmith, do The Brain from Planet X for heaven's sake. Small band, great orchestrations by you-know-who, and FUNNY, with great roles for everyone.
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep interrupted at six by a thirty-minute allergy attack. Took the last of my twelve-hour pills, so later this evening I'll go get more.
-
I've never like Coughlin's work, if truth be told.
-
As to it going to Broadway - why is every show now a limited run (or so they say)? But this is purely a Sutton thing because they all feel she's a draw.
-
DR George, are you going to give us the Amélie repor?
It's a cute show and the lead was very good...most of the cast were, too. It did take me a while to get into it, though. Part of me was thinking, "What's going on? What's the point?" And another part of me was just enjoying the ride because I really like the score.
-
Ultimately, I got into it and ended up really enjoying the sweet story of a quirky young woman who really likes a (very attractive ;) ) young man and how they got together. I know it's not everyone's cuppa, but it was mine. :)

The press release mentions the L.A. engagement at the Ahmanson (starting Dec. 10) is already scheduled.
"Following its Broadway engagement, Foster will headline the production in Los Angeles for a four-week engagement at Center Theatre Group's Ahmanson Theatre from December 10, 2024 – January 5, 2025."

I agree. I saw a local production many years ago, and it was absolutely delightful.

I agree with this also!! I was in a production here in Olympia that BK and David Wechter came up to see. We had a great time doing it!
-

Wouldn't I love to. Though in this time slot we should be doing A Carol Christmas! I've told these people it's out there, but some of them feel the sting of recent shitty home-grown Dickens adaptations, and it's going to take some time to get past that.

Then, they could see for themselves how delightful (and good!) a show it is!

The article I just read on this summer Once Upon A Mattress implies the Coughlin orchestrations will be new and not the Sarah Jessica Parker revival's.

This was the theme song for the pilot of "Alice" sung by Linda Lavin

That was when Alfred Lutter from the movie was still playing Alice's son.

I gotta get ready to go to the theeder. It's the op'nin' night of Moon Over Buffalo directed by Diana Canova. I am truly ready for a good comedy, so here's hoping I laugh my ASS off.

I wonder if the writers of the old television show theme songs got paid a flat upfront rate, or if they got royalties.
-
I suppose it depends on the contract. That old show biz cliche.

This isn't a theme song, but I surely remember seeing this one:

The play was great fun, and I got to barely say hi and congratulations to Ms. Canova as she was running home to feed her horses.
-
Everyone in the cast was not only very strong, but I thought each person was just personally - physically and temperamentally - well suited for each character.
So I guess she knows how to cast. I wonder where she learned that. :)

Well, today for lunch, I went to my usual Eagan's here in Tumwater, and got my usual Deluxe Cheeseburger (with onions added) basket with tots (and goop) and a large diet Pepsi.
-
It was, as usual, quite delish.
-
Then before the show, I drove through Jack in the Box and made the mistake of having one of their Classic Smashed Jacks. ::)
-
It was okay, but not worth it.

I'd had it a couple of times before and forgot that it was just okay.
-
I will remember to not have that one again.

Live and learn...hopefully.

After driving through JitB, I hied myself to OlyTheater (https://www.olytheater.com/) for tonight's performance of The King in Yellow.
-
The author, Xander, was in the audience again, and several theater friends were there, too.
-
The show went really well with no fumfers or technical goobers.
-
We did have to start late, but the show came in at it's fairly regular length of 2 hours and 15 or so minutes.
-
The audience really did enjoy it, and we had some pretty good laughs where there hadn't been many before.
