Goodbye for Now!

[George]

Oh, and in the comedy department, we got a wonderful review for last night's show and the reviewer specifically mentions (and positively) one of the Jew jokes - so phut to the stuffed shirt who had the problem - my Jew jokes aren't going away anytime soon.

Congrats, BK!

[George]

I just received the 1994 London cast revival of "The Card," featuring Haley Mills.  The song that was performed last night, "I Could Be the One," was not on this recording.  Evidently, it's been removed from the score.

'night

Getting back to the Dress Jeans, I disagree.  I do think some jeans can be considered somewhat dressy.

Finally someone else around here who agrees with me

I think Jeans with a dress shirt and or a jacket are fine for going to the theater.  Now dirty jeans, shorts flip flops, t-shirts with words on them etc are an entirely different story

[Cillaliz]

Yes, DR JR&62 I agree, definitely no jeans of any sort for Weddings and Funerals, (Very Disrespectful).

I agree with that too

[ChasSmith]

That's a great review.

Just a heads up, though ... I think "Good show, ole' boy!" might be code for "Good show, ole' Jew!"

[bk]

You want the original cast recording of The Card with Jim Dale - the revival was hugely rewritten.

[vixmom]

The blood was drawn, i peed.

Yeah, those needles scare me too

Oy!

I know.  I do have a (ahem) downloaded copy of the original London cast recording, but I don't have the physical CD anymore.  Another one of my stolen CDs.

I was looking at new ceiling fans.  What you think of this sleek model?

You know, sing song, I bet it would match the rest of your décor.

Lovely review BK - and Congratulations to DR RYacko for his great review.  Since the chance of me getting meself to Californy is far remote I am depending on BK bringing hos show to the Big Apple one of these days

How tacky--- I use WHITE duct tape to keep mine attached to the ceiling

Thanks for that link, DR John G.  I wonder if the NY Phil will also release this new performance of Sweeney on CD?

I would doubt it. The last recording was a numbered, limited edition and I understand it didn't sell well. Didn't sell 1,500 copies. But maybe PBS will broadcast it, like "Carousel," etc.They did a DVD of the Sweeney, but it wasn't New York Phil. I forgot the orchestra, but the worst substitution was another Elmore favorite, Miss Victoria Clark, appearing as the Beggar Woman in place of Audra McDonald.

Are you referring to the LuPone & Hearn SWEENEY conducted by Andrew Litton?  I have that but don't see anything indicating a limited edition.  I also don't remember having listened to it in all this time! 

I have the words Special Edition all over mine. and thought there was a number, but I am mistaken. I did read, though, that it didn't bring the NYPhil much money.

[vixmom]

I am NOT a fan of food in the theatre - but I must admit to now regularly wearing jeans (usually black if it makes a difference and usually paired with a  nice shirt) when I drive into the city for matinees - for an evening performance I do dress up a bit more.

And there was at least one time I showed up in shorts and sneakers --- but I wasn't INTENDING to go to the theater that day - a ticket just suddenly became available while I was in town

STOP writing on your cds with sharpies!!!

weddings and funerals definitely are dress/skirt and heels for me

I usually wear a dress but in the winter have been known to wear a pant suit

[John G.]

Oh, here's the link: http://grigware.blogspot.com/

Nice review.

[vixmom]

Although that reminds me  of a wedding we attended in Alberta -- we were surprised to see several close friends of the  bride and groom in khakis and golf shirts  at the church -  after the wedding they said they were running home to change before the reception 

They showed up in ragged jeans and Tshirts at the reception .....

Actually, now I think of it , I have attended winter wakes in dress pants

Apropos of nothing....

Total time logged in: 50 days, 46 minutes.

[vixmom]

We had a whole row of people who left one of our performances of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN, because a young woman was breastfeeding her child in the second row during the show.....

Was she "hangig out" or discretely covered?

[vixmom]

I just "stole" this from a FB friend -  it is so "spot on" (as Vixdad would say)  I thought I would share it here 
 

I lived ON Long Island not IN Long Island;
When I leave New York, I say I am from Long Island and everyone is expected to know where that is. 

Mustard should never be considered as a burger condiment; I know what real pizza and coffee taste like;
I know that a bagel is more then just a roll with a hole in the middle and it's a hero, not a hoagie, or a sub, and I wash it all down with soda, not pop or cola.

4 am is an early night out and all good nights must end at a diner or half price apps at Applebees.
A beer can be known as a cold one and we can get it at all hours of the day and night.

Yeah, it sounds like I spell "walk," and "talk" with W's in them but you're the one that actually tawks weird (and pleeeze do not try to tell me that "dog" rhymes with "log").

 I don't go down to the shore, it's called the  BEACH and I have one 20 minutes away in every direction.

 I know that 55mph really means 90 and a yellow light means floor it.

 I go to The City, not Manhattan

 "New Yorkers" who are not from The Island or from The City, are "upstate" and therefore not really from New York.

DR Ryako:

I can't imagine why anyone would have you dress up in a gorilla or giraff suit.

You are too handsome to be covered up!!

And you are too kind, DR Kate!

I have to say, I had fun on both of those shows.

[ryacko]

Lovely review BK - and Congratulations to DR RYacko for his great review.

Thanks so much, DR vixmom! It was great fun.

[bk]

There was a NY producer friend in the audience last night - we're going to have lunch and chat about NY.
