In a New York minute!

Just a mistake in that I now have to figure out how to get the candle wax out of the tablecloth.

singdaw · « **Reply #155 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:24:35 PM »

A first-world problem, I realize.

A friend of mine was trying to get to the Met to see Carmen the other night. They had to tangle with the Wicked: For Good phalanx out front.

I wonder what that film's promotional budget is.

singdaw · « **Reply #158 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:26:53 PM »

A pretty penny, I'm sure.

singdaw · « **Reply #159 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:27:04 PM »

An international junket.

singdaw · « **Reply #160 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:27:47 PM »

I wonder if "Junk It Junket" would be a good name for a business.

singdaw · « **Reply #161 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:27:54 PM »

Perhaps not.

So sorry for your loss, DR John G. May her memory be a blessing.

Ragtime was fantastic. Joshua Henry, Caissie Levy, and Brandon Uranowitz in the three biggest roles were all superb.

MichaelG · « **Reply #164 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:39:02 PM »

No Shaina Taub or Ben Levi Ross tonight, alas, but their understudies Kerry Conte and Nicholas Barrón were both excellent.

The first time I saw Ragtime was a few years ago in a community theater production. It was a wildly ambitious reach by that group. But the leads were generally cast well, the weak link being Sarah.

So glad, DR MichaelG!

MichaelG · « **Reply #167 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:42:24 PM »

So now I see it on Broadway and the weak link is still Sarah. Obviously way better than the community theater, and not a disaster by any means, but too much of a mush mouth for me.

MichaelG · « **Reply #168 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:43:19 PM »

Mine seemed to be a distinctly minority opinion, but I figured HHW readers could appreciate the nitpick.

MichaelG · « **Reply #169 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:44:09 PM »

Is Sarah particularly hard to cast for some reason?

MichaelG · « **Reply #170 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:46:18 PM »

I still could do without the Evelyn Nesbit character entirely, but the actress did well with it and was much less irritating than I'd seen before. The guy sitting next to me laughed at every "Whee" and goodness knows there are a lot of them.

singdaw · « **Reply #171 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:47:33 PM »

When I saw the late-night clip of "Wheels of a Dream," I loved Joshua but wasn't enthralled with the actress singing Sarah.

I suppose Audra has large shoes to fill.

Good night, friends.

singdaw · « **Reply #174 on:** November 18, 2025, 07:53:21 PM »

And others.

True, but so did other members of the original cast and the rest held their own just fine.

Sorry to hear about Bonnie, John.

Thanks again, folks. Bonnie was my co-author on my first two books.
