Post by: Jrand74 on May 14, 2025, 01:00:52 AM: After the read thru last night I can just say that work is cut out for me.

The leading man is awful - beyond awful - and to make it worse he cannot project so that even with a microphone the audience will not be able to hear him.

It is fatal to the show - I am saying now - but I will do my best to bring him up.

It means I will be worrying and stressing for the next seven weeks and will lose hours of sleep....but that's okay.

I knew the job was dangerous when I took it. I just thought maybe someone else would audition for the role.....but that person never showed up.....a conflict arose. He planned a trip that could have been taken any other time this summer, but it is during one of the performance weekends.
Title: Re: A TRIP DOWN THE MUSICAL MEMORY LANE OF 1968
Post by: Jrand74 on May 14, 2025, 01:05:56 AM: Yesterday when I crossed over the overpass at Interstate 70, I could see that traffic westbound was backed up miles left and right.

That meant that everybody was trying to get off of the interstate at the exit to SR 39 and then go the few miles north to US 40.

So of course when I got on US 40 within a mile or so - we were backed up.....five miles an hour for almost eight miles....finally got through that...but of course the traffic included dozens of tractor trailers from the interstate.

And then it rained....

The start and chorus of this pop hit song has been kidded in England for similarity to "Rhythm of Life"

Title: Re: A TRIP DOWN THE MUSICAL MEMORY LANE OF 1968
Post by: elmore3003 on May 14, 2025, 04:35:25 AM: I slept well. I had a most peculiar dream that seemed to take place over many locales in my past 78 years. I remember little about it now but these things: I was imvolved in a production of Babes in Toyland that adhered closely to the original 1903 libretto, there was a lot of controversy over the content and its suitability for contemporary chldren, and a good friend invited me to dinner, where it seems, the controversy was going to be addressed. The good friend in the dream looked very familiar, but her name - Cameron Chesterfield - is nothing I recognize.

Wonderful story! thanks for the link, John.

Skip's shows in the 1990s seem to have had something that first brought married couples together. Danny met Rebecca for the first time during "Time and Again" at the Old Globe in San Diego (though they didn't start dating until a bit later). Howard McGillin first met his now-spouse at a reading of "Time and Again." And Bill Parry met Maureen Silliman during the run of Skip's show "Blanco" at Goodpeed.

Well, then -- no wonder that those curious felines ANNABELLE AND THATCH turn out to be interested -- nay, possessed -- by musical theater. What else could happen when they live with Larry Moore, the Broadway orchestrator par excellence. Now we see that Moore can orchestrate words with the same style and flair he's brought to music. ANNABELLE AND THATCH is as much fun as a hit Broadway musical -- and you know how good those can be."

What kind of pie today? Am thinking lemon meringue, but I am easily swayed.

Sunds good, depending where you are getting the pie.

Nice interview with Danny Burstein.

Wonderful story! thanks for the link, John.

Skip's shows in the 1990s seem to have had something that first brought married couples together. Danny met Rebecca for the first time during "Time and Again" at the Old Globe in San Diego (though they didn't start dating until a bit later). Howard McGillin first met his now-spouse at a reading of "Time and Again." And Bill Parry met Maureen Silliman during the run of Skip's show "Blanco" at Goodpeed.

"We're always wondering what goes through the minds of cats. They'd have to be influenced by the people they live with, right? Well, then -- no wonder that those curious felines ANNABELLE AND THATCH turn out to be interested -- nay, possessed -- by musical theater. What else could happen when they live with Larry Moore, the Broadway orchestrator par excellence. Now we see that Moore can orchestrate words with the same style and flair he's brought to music. ANNABELLE AND THATCH is as much fun as a hit Broadway musical -- and you know how good those can be."

If anyone besides me was mystified at why "HBO Max" had decided to become just "MAX" - maybe they wondered, too, because it's becoming "HBO Max" again.

When they changed it to just MAX, I wondered if people would confuse it with the already existing Cinemax.

Jane, shield your eyes!

There are two kinds of people...those who love bacon and those who are wrong! ;D

Post by: Jrand74 on May 14, 2025, 08:50:21 PM: Thanks for the vibes.....the first blocking rehearsal went well.....tomorrow we will add the third person in the scene and then we will be done with Act One Scene One.

Wee added a few bits and smoothed it out as we went along and then ran it about four times....

And we got a living room furniture down from the props loft and it looks very nice. It was donated to us several years ago and all three pieces have never been onstage together....I think one piece made its debut a season ago.

It looks very nice and apropos.

Post by: bk on May 14, 2025, 08:53:17 PM: Watched one motion picture. A new one. Horror movie whose trailer made it look like it was fun. I like certain ones like M3GAN and Orphan, etc. Well, this is not a horror film at all, despite how they were trying to sell it and even though Stephen King called it one of the best movies of this year, so far. Not really saying that much, though. It's a very depressing and ugly movie about old folks and one who torments everyone. I suppose you could call that horror, but it's just ugly and unpleasant to watch elder abuse even by another elder. Actors are all very good - John Lithgow, Geoffrey Rush are the stars.
