Young Catherine has some fine acting from Vanessa Redgrave and Christopher Plummer, but Marthe Keller is her usual lame self and Julia Ormond is not interesting.

Back from performance two, supposedly going to be only thirty-five people there - there were fifty-five, a fine house. Like most second performances, rhythm was off, pauses were back, cues not picked up, and some sloppy opgraphy. Not many big laughs in act one, but there were in act two - all the numbers got a good reaction.

Interesting DR FREDDIE I only had the OBC JOSEPH cassette and there was no finale on it.

And there was no Megamix in the rental materials - although it's certainly there now.



There was this 5-minute many-song finale which they showed on the 1982 Tony Awards show.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr8MIcE7Hz4


Very cool, Freddie!  Thanks for posting it!

Congrats on the second night attendance, at least!

It breaks my heart to hear the threats against Greenland.  Our trip there was one of most amazing trips ever, even with me breaking my elbow.  I just shared this photo on Facebook.


That's wonderful picture, Jane!

The buttermilk pecan pie was a hit. It was like a praline pie. Soooo good.

Wow!  Congrats, John!
