I'm up early because they're supposed to come and start the laundry room floor repair today. Don't know what time, but we're up and at 'em.

I went to my mom's rental house in Tumwater so that I could be there when Home Depot delivered new kitchen appliances and took away the old ones.

However, about two hours into the delivery window, I got a text saying that the delivery has been rescheduled for Saturday, so I went to Urgent Care.

I got a cold during the last weekend of J&H and the worst of it is over, but I've had this lingering cough this whole time since, so I figured that I'd better do something about it because Shelly has also been sick for the last several days.

George · « **Reply #124 on:** November 19, 2025, 08:02:09 PM »

She went to Urgent Care and got some medications, but she had symptoms that I didn't, so she has something else.

George · « **Reply #125 on:** November 19, 2025, 08:03:19 PM »

I never got a fever. She did. Hopefully, she'll get better and my coughing will stop with the stuff that I was just prescribed.

Alas, the second act didn't work as well as the first act. It catches us up on what happened (more or less) after the documentary came out. But it can't resolve the fundamental problem of why we should care about this couple.

MichaelG · « **Reply #127 on:** November 19, 2025, 08:08:12 PM »

The correct answer would be we don't, we want them to fail like they did in the movie. But when your subject is also one of your producers I guess you have to pull some punches.

What is it with late-career musical writers and their interest in unlikable Florida real estate people? First Sondheim, now Schwartz.

The cast is all fabulous and the sets and costumes are stunning. It was a real treat to see Chenoweth and Abraham live on stage - I might have seen him before, but not her.

Younger performers Nina White and Tatum Grace Hopkins were especially fine as Victoria and Jonquil.

But even with all the clever adaptation ideas that I enjoyed, like using the real Versailles as a framing device, this show is pretty tone deaf for a week where Epstein, his billionaire buddies, and his victims have come to the fore so much. The performers can't fix that.

Act one worked because it ends with the crash, so you think they are getting what they deserve, like in the film. But it is not to be.

Thanks for the repor, DR MichaelG. Even when Schwartz's shows don't always work, his scores are always interesting. So I am looking forward to listening to the album.

Glad you are starting to feel better, DR John G. Hope that trend continues.

Tonight I rehearsed for a combined choir event taking place a week from tonight; Thanksgiving Eve.

John G. · « **Reply #136 on:** November 19, 2025, 08:49:58 PM »

Thanks for the report, Michael G.

I hope you get answers to what is going on and what will fix it.

Yes, I enjoyed the score. For me, "Pretty Wins" was the standout number. I expect DR ChasSmith and others will be playing it at auditions for young actresses for years to come.

Speaking of shows with deep-seated book problems, will the current Chess revival finally fix things? Tune in tomorrow for my take. 😀

MichaelG · « **Reply #142 on:** November 19, 2025, 08:55:56 PM »

I'm not holding my breath, but hearing that score sung live by this cast should be well worth it in any event.

Can we get to page six?

It's way past my bedtime.

Way, way past.

singdaw · « **Reply #148 on:** November 19, 2025, 09:08:11 PM »

SO past, it's not even funny.
