I have a matinee today and there's other music I must work on beforehand, so I will be scarce until this evening.
I'll be back in time to ZOOM.

I did sleep well last night. I had a strange dream that I had gone into a bofega for coffee ands got into a contretemps with the young lady about the cost. And where are the rolls I usually buy as well? All I remember is throwing dollar bills and change around ther counter,

DR Jrand75, I believe the play you saw was Alan Ayckbourn's A Chorus of Disapproval. I've never read it, but I saw the movie adaptation with Jeremy Irons and Anthony Hopkins. The play within the play is not Brecht's Threepenny Opera but its 1728 inspration The Beggar's Opera.

And while I'm on that, let me recommend Peter Brook's wonderful film version with Sir Laurence Olivier, Dorothy Tutin, and Stanley Holloway, additional dialogue by Christopher Fry and music arranged by Arthur Bliss. From info in Benjamin Britten's collected letters, I gather the original intention was to use his 1948 score for The English Opera Group, but I suspect his wonderful, but very modern arrangements, scared off the production. The BBC video from 1963 is also interesting and well done.

I'm taking it easy today, mostly working on the ballet and resting up. I want to attend the Zoom so I don't want to stress myself out today.

There must be a way off page 1.

If page 2 started approaching, that might be a way off page 1.

Once we're on page 2, no one will be able to say we didn't reach page 2.

Would anybody be able to make an audio of the HHW Zoom session, that is, if it won't be possible to have a video version of it?

Happy Sunday everyone!  On this week's Broadway Radio Show, I chat with writer/composer Zack Zadek about his new musical Deathless, the story of a family dealing with loss and grief, which also tackles thought-provoking questions about mortality.  If you could take one pill that would allow you to live forever, would you? Zack and I have a fascinating, uplifting conversation about how we live our lives and, of course, there's plenty of songs from the new studio cast recording of Deathless as well.
