Jeanne is a delight.  I was so glad not long ago to see her on a commercial which kept airing and airing - but then I heard it was one of those deals where there's a one-time payment.   IIRC, when Jeanne played Anna in "King and I" in Georgia, Larry played Edward in that production. - which must have saved money for the theater in lodging, and that was so great that he was able to go with her! 

That's pretty cool!

And another:

Am I hearing right about this awful planned substitution for the Tony awards broadcast? Is it, please God, someone’s brilliant idea for some fake news? Must I believe my lying eyes?

Grease is the word, is the word that you heard...

I'd seen a headline that something was happening, but I didn't read what was being planned.

My neck is really hurting tonight.  Time to drag out the marijuana cream.

Evidently, they're going to broadcast the movie version of Grease instead.

Here's an example of what I'm seeing.

Note that the person hasn't actually changed their avatar. They're just going somewhere and making one of these images that SUPPOSEDLY looks like them (none of them do, trust me), and posting it. Because everyone else is doing it. And isn't that fun?

No thanks, is what I say. :P

Ooh, hope George will be around later for the big event as we achieve a new thing.

Yes, I was! ;D

Some people just don't understand space limitations.  Crazy Aunt Bertha sent me a housewarming gift, but I just had to say no.

My play was supposed to have been performed on Tuesday. It is now delayed until September

That's too bad, Michael.  But at least it was only postponed and not outright cancelled.

I just found a complete video of the 1998 San Jose production of Follies. which, even out of focus, is so much better than the last Broadway revival.  Harvey Evans and my friend Walter Charles play Buddy and Ben.

I saw Walter Charles as Ben in 1995 in Seattle in the 5th Avenue Theatre/TUTS production with Constance Towers and Judy Kaye and Maxine Andrews.

Later, I realized that Brian d'Arcy James was Young Ben in that production and Karen Morrow was Carlotta!

Norm Lewis is the featured artist of today's Lincoln Center #MemorialforUsAll. It's about 15 minutes.

Well damn it, I’m sorry I missed the GRAND HOTEL thing this evening. They streamed it, and it’s all gone.

Oh, no! :(

Hardly a week goes by that I don't receive a call cancelling another one of my medical appointments, some of which were reschedules of reschedules. Last week I received an email from one of the big mucky-mucks, saying that it's safe to return and Don't neglect your treatments. (Bolding his.) Neglect my treatments? I haven't been permitted any! I understand that Covid has disrupted everything, but I sadly suspect that the people at the top of this prestigious medical institution haven't a clue what's going on down on the ground.

~~~Treatment Vibes for Jeanne!!~~~
