I saw In The Heights when it toured through town. I don't like rap, so I really didn't get anything out of it.

Glad to hear John G. got good news. I hope The Bird recovers quickly.

I wear my mask in the shops and at work and at church.

When I’m out walking I do not.

I believe the case counts these days are lower than flu case counts.

Good evening.

Why are you sideways?

I'm back from the movies. And I let go and let it entertain me.

Stay through the credits. There's a "surprise" musical number at the end.

The best thing about the movie is that the actors are the singers. Daphne Ruben-Vega gets the chance to let loose, and she relishes it. Marc Anthony is almost unrecognizable, and he's very good. Olga Merediz, the abuela from the original, is irresistible. And the main four characters are all beautiful. It's all easy on the eye and ear.

Shortly I'll mosey on over to the theater for our brief tech.

What surprised me the most is how effective the story is, albeit a little overstuffed. I had read reviews talking about how pointless and empty it was whenever the music stopped. Well, the story's actually about the Jane Austen crucible of love and money -- and in that are themes of family, both blood families and the families we create. Austen never dealt much in dreams, as I recall, but they're also prominent here.

John Chu's direction will divide folks. Some will love the color that splashes across the screen in most every musical number. Others will find it overwrought.

Previews included West Side Story with Rita Moreno singing Somewhere. Plus, another Dear Evan Hansen.

There were maybe nine of us in the theater. And it was one of two screens there showing it.

Good night, all.

I've been hearing this from everyone, that they saw the film with six or nine people in the audience. It will be interesting to see if they out and out lie about the grosses, because if six and nine people is the story, well...

Back from a quick tech. Two light cues - lights up at the top, lights fade at the end. One sound cue.

DR George is off playing cards.

No...George WAS off, losing at cards.

But now I'm home and fed and for some reason, tired.

George · « **Reply #138 on:** June 11, 2021, 11:53:16 PM »

But I'm here.

My mom won two of the games, so she was happy.

My niece won one game, so she was happy, too.
