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.

Ah, that old conundrum. $:-\$

But how was the score??

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.

Very cool! I'm jealous!

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.

Timing...it's all in the timing.

Thanks for the Versailles report, Michael!

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.

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

Thanks, John! I was prescribed benzonatate, a.k.a.Tessalon pearls (never heard of either).

They look like vitamin D capsules, but they're to help with my cough.

George · « **Reply #194 on:** November 19, 2025, 11:59:41 PM »

I can take one, up to three times a day, so we'll see how effective they are.

George · « **Reply #195 on:** November 20, 2025, 12:00:08 AM »

The PA also recommended (over the counter) Delsym for cough medication.

George · « **Reply #196 on:** November 20, 2025, 12:01:03 AM »

I got the Fred Meyer generic equivalent...they have the exact same active ingredient at 1/4th the price.

George · « **Reply #197 on:** November 20, 2025, 12:02:29 AM »

She also recommended Cepacol for my (not so bad anymore) sore throat, but I forgot about that when I was at Fred Meyer, so I'll get some tomorrow.

George · « **Reply #198 on:** November 20, 2025, 12:03:57 AM »

She didn't think I had bronchitis because my lungs sounded pretty good, and I'm not coughing up anything, so she didn't prescribe anything for that.

George · « **Reply #199 on:** November 20, 2025, 12:04:10 AM »

And now that we're so close...

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.

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.

I can't wait for the album, either!

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

Ooo...can't wait!

First Merrily, now Chess? What is the theatrical world finally coming to?

No one else but me.
