I've had a subconjunctival haemorrhage! A broken blood vessel in the eye. I had one about 30 years ago and that time I flew into a panic and rushed to the hospital where they told me it's one of those things which happen for no obvious reason and is not serious - it takes about a week for the eye to clear. It doesn't look pleasant though. Now, where are my dark glasses?

If you would eat more macaroni 'n cheese, you wouldn't get those subconjunctival hemorrhages.

Healing vibes for DR Doug!

If Hammer was still cranking out vampire films, you could have picked up a few days work as an extra.

Hammer is actually back in business, with that new Daniel Radcliffe WOMAN IN BLACK film.

The Debbie Reynolds HAMMER Scopitone comes to mind for some reason

You are a very cruel man, FJL!

I think I hit an Elmore trifecta tonight. Watched the Lonny Price-directed "Sweeney Todd" with Patti LuPone and Victoria Clark.

I can't remember what you think of Patti, but I know your opinions of Lonny and Ms. Clark.

I love LuPone; I have ever since EVITA and my first hearing of THE BAKER'S WIFE. She's fearless and demented, and that's a great combo for a diva. There are too few these days.

I think Lonny Price is a good actor and limited director with no class or sense of style. His direction is lowbrow, aimed at a low IQ level and completely inelegant

I am back from the revival of HOW TO SUCCEED, which I really enjoyed. I don't know Nick Jonas from Menudo, but he is really quite wonderful as Finch. I adored Beau Bridges who made mw smile every tme he appeared, and I loved his "chipmunk" bit. Michael Urie is really funny as Frump, and I was thinking what a good Cornelius he would be in HELLO DOLLY! if he follows the career of Charles Nelsob Reilly. My friend Ellen Harvey was a hoot as Miss Jones, and in the pit I saw my friends Scott Kuney and Grace Paradise. Larruy Goldberg, who was the MNYMF MD for "The Brain From Planet X" led the tiny but mighty band.

Whil I'm not a great fan of the director's over-choreographed numbers. and he really blew the use of the kazoos in "I Believe In You," I thought this revival head and shoulders over the one with Matthew Broderick.

Of course it was better; Matthew was not in this revival.

Matthew was good as Finch. The production wasn't very good.

I had a meeting this afternoon and have been busily paying invoices. Now, it's time to leave and go to the theater for our last rehearsal without an audience! Tomorrow, we have our final dress rehearsal/preview with guests.

Until later!

Last evening, one of the local news programs was showing this PSA that had been produced to promote a school levy in support of the city of Issaquah's Special School Election. It showed a group of students singing "A Hard-Knock Life" with different lyrics promoting the School Levy. Just as I was telling myself that the school district was pressing their luck using the song without permission; they interviewed the man who wrote the new lyrics. The guilty party was Martin Charnin who had moved to Issaquah several years ago. Gee, I gues he can do whatever he wants to with his lyrics.

No, the music is by Charles Strouse, but I am sure he asked permission.
