With news of "Hell's Kitchen" closing in February -  What will be next at the Shubert? 

Might it be "Purple Rain" sneaking in before the Tony nominations?

Tune of “When Doves Cry” (from Purple Rain)

Dig, if you will, a theater,
Empty just before season's end.
Could we take Best New Musical?
Ready for Broadway,
Timing could be our friend!

Dig, if you can, a lean year.
When nominations seem sure.
Gotta move, the Shubert is open -
No movie names, but Prince's name's a lure!

How can we get tourists spending?
Prospects are harsh and so cold.
Straight plays with stars will be trending
But get some Tony nods -  we could be sold!

Gossip is surely worth floating,
The publicist's making some tries.
Is Reddit what they'll be quoting.
That’s what shows sound like
When buzz flies.

Of neighborhoods I have lived in, Hells Kitchen and The (Washington) Heights had musicals named for them. Just need Park Slope and Upper East Side, the Musicals.

My favorite Deanna Durbin movie is FIRST LOVE.....but I enjoy them all. She sang some lovely classical tunes that with the exception of Jeannette MacDonald  none of those MGM lovelies could sing without screeching and burning the eardrums....especially Jane Powell and Kathryn Grayson whose voices hurt my ears than AND now.

Wasn't West Side Story going to be East Side Story when it was still about Jews and Catholics?

Google's AI says:

"The title "East Side Story" was the original working title for the musical that became West Side Story. Leonard Bernstein was the composer, and he initially hoped that his friends Betty Comden and Adolph Green would write the lyrics.

However, Comden and Green were unavailable because they were committed to another project (the musical version of Peter Pan), so the job eventually went to the young Stephen Sondheim, marking his Broadway debut as a lyricist."

I've not seen The Amazing Mrs. Holliday.  I thought I had seen all of Deanna Durban's films.

She was a woman in this one, not a girl.

I saw that.  I have seen her adult films, or most of them.  I liked her even better as an adult.

I was like, Deanna Durbin did adult films?? But you just meant, ya know, films as a grownup.

Haven't had the energy to do much writing - just a couple of pages. In thirty minutes I'll shower, then head over to the theater around five-twenty.

I have to fix one bit of blocking before the show and add one verbal thing to help a lighting cue that's not quite working.
