But I’m up and awake, so that will be that.

Today i’m attending my first ever British “Panto”, out of curiosity and because I know people in it. I shall also relish being an audience member for the first time in too long a while.

That’s a matinee, and their closing show, so I’ll stick around and socialize for a bit. Then off I go to another theater for a production meeting. And tomorrow evening I’m back at — what else? — why, rehearsal, of course.

[ChasSmith]

A couple of friends and I need to get tickets for Mack & Mabel which we just realized is in February. I don’t know why I thought that one was later. And because of our own February show, we can only see either the Wednesday or Thursday performance. I look forward to getting into that score.

[ChasSmith]

So the Panto is directed by a delightful Brit local who was steeped in the tradition, and though doing one wouldn’t be my own cup of tea, I’m looking forward to it. Its venue even has a touch of British music hall ambiance. It’s also where we did Cabaret. Nice intimate 120-seater.

[Jane]

Good morning.

[Jrand74]

I think GAWSY was one of the Little Rascals.

[Jrand74]

Continued vibes for DR ELMORE.

[ChasSmith]

Hmm, did I know about this? A 1998 revival of Mack & Mabel?

[ChasSmith]

Damn it to HELL, I just sneezed. Three times.

It's not a cold. Just allergy sneezing, which has oddly persisted through the first part of winter. Every couple of days I enjoy a couple of good sneezing fits. And it's getting old. But the woman who gave me my flu shot said many people around here are experiencing that this year.

Where?

[ChasSmith]

Or is it London 1995? 

Amazon, CDs.

Oh wow I wish I knew about this.  I went to my one and only Christmas panto in Coventry at the Belgrade theatre back in 199o.   Vixdad and I were visiting his parents before they emigrated to Canada.  It was so much fun.  I wonder if they will be able to engender the necessary audience participation.

[ChasSmith]

Anyhoo, I ordered the original cast CD.

I used to have it on vinyl, but didn't find it on my shelf. I must have deemed it a copy not worth keeping in one of my purges.

I'm hearing that they've done very well with that. I'm not an audience participation kind of guy, myself, but I'll bury myself in the audience and enjoy the experience.

This theater group has done these in the past, and always in the hands of a good Brit. But not in the last few years. I was asked to play or MD one several years back, but I knew it wasn't my thing. I'm sorry, however, that I didn't get to any before this.

Well Vix Dad is still sick anyway.... if they are going to do one next year would you please let me know?  It would be fun thing to go to with Vixdad

I don't think they're planning one for next year, but I'll find out for sure today. I'll tell the producer and director you said that, and that there's an audience for these from outside the immediate area. I mean, they might know where SOME of their audience comes from, but they don't know about the VIXES. 

[Jrand74]

I watched JUDY yesterday and liked it - interesting to watch, but a very sad time in her life....

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up - barely.  Probably six hours of sleep.

[John G.]

We’re going to see Harriet in an hour. They didn’t even have it on the marquee, but they sold us tickets anyway. Maybe it’s in one of those Harry Potter halfway theaters. 

[Jane]

  Now I am prepared for sad.

Strange & interesting. 

[bk]

I shall shortly be on my way to the theater for what is turning out to be a ten-hour day there. 

[elmore3003]

Or is it London 1995? 

Amazon, CDs.

It's probably London, with Howard McGillin and Caroline O'Connor.  It matches the current rental score.

[elmore3003]

I just finished my second score and the third number to do arrived via email. Perfect timing.

I just took an unexpected nap

[Jane]

My 2nd case for my new tablet arrived.  While not as pretty is is nice and a better fit for me.

[Jane]

Alas, it still isn't as comfortable as my old case on my old tablet, and it weighs more.  Weight is a big deal for me because of my shoulder.

[Jane]

I just added auto spell & auto capitalization.  It seems to be working.   

[John G.]

Just got word that Dad died this afternoon. 

[elmore3003]

Just got word that Dad died this afternoon. 

DR JohnG, I send my condolences.  It seems to me he went rather quickly and that's all for the best.  Are you heading to Kentucky from Florida?
