This is another quiet day. At 1:00 I'm on a conference call with animal activist Andrew Weprin and others to urge New York legislature to pass CAPA.https://www.nokilladvocacycenter.org/companion-animal-protection-act.html
Well, things are getting real here. Or should I say "real"?Got word late last night that the Willy Wonka musical and all other spring events at this high school (including all concerts and assemblies and I believe some sporting events) are officially CANCELLED.This is devastating -- for the school, the students, and the extra hired personnel like yrs truly. Everyone involved is in shock at the moment. But it's particularly scary as it could so easily be the start of a statewide domino effect.
Another musical version of Some Like It Hot? WTF? I never cared much about Sugar, although I like a lot of the score.What really good musicals have been adapted from brilliant films?

Smiles of a Summer Night/A Little Night Music I'll accept that, but Smiles of A Summer Night is a foreign film in Swedish, as opposed to a popular American film. I can't think of any successful popular movies in well-made musical adaptations, except maybe for Hairspray. I think the Bergman adaptation, like Once, succeeds because it's not a slavish attempt to put the film on a stage with second-rate stage impersonations of the film's stars.
Got a WGA residual check today for KEATON'S COP (1990) and CHEYENNE WARRIOR (1994).Not enough to buy a new car, but certainly enough to take the wife out to a nice dinner.

I love both the original movie and musical version of The Last Starfighter!
Found some Lysol wipes today. It was like discovering gold.
