No, I was too busy chasing down Victor Herbert today, and I didn't have any of his CDs for him to sign.

Maybe you could have gotten him to sign something else?  Like the top of your head?

Just took a break from writing a difficult couple of pages (the dreaded monologue) - watched last Sunday's Sopranos.  What a stupid episode, maybe one of the worst of the series, despite game cameos by Ben Kingsley and Lauren Bacall.  It's like, Artie hasn't had anything to do in this series for years, and the whole episode basically centers on him and we DON'T CARE.

No.  He and Debbie are doing a concert with Rob Fisher in Tulsa, I think.  It's in early June, as I recall.

After some of the stories I've heard about working with Bacall, I enjoyed it immensely!

DR MBarnum, here's Ron when he toured with Debbie Reynolds in "The Unsinkable  Molly Brown."  Tomorrow afternoon I see his lovely daughter - and my goddaughter - Charlotte play Baby Rose in BABES IN ARMS.  She will sing "Johnny One Note," "Way Out West (On West End Avenue)" and "Imagine."

My typing is pathetic!

Kangaroos, to Australians, are pretty much like rats to us...or so I've been told by other Aussies.

And you believed them? Or do you have a rat on your coat of arms.

No kangaroos on the property - just their smaller cousins the wallabies visit.  There are kangaroos in the area though. If not - I blame Jose.  He did get up close and personal with them when he visited.

Thanks to a tip on the original orchestra scores to "Brigadoon" being in the NYPL music collection, I discovered a Victor Herbert collection in the NYPL theatre collection that I didn't know exist.  Today, I looked at the original contract for BABES IN TOYLAND, signed March 27, 1903, for a play titled "The Bades in the Woods."  I also looked at contracts for Hal Roach, Disney, and the 1946 Decca Records recording with Kenny Baker.  Very exciting.

I think I will burst into song!
That's pretty darned cool! ;D

Well!  At last.  After two months of the phone not ringing with work, I've got a chart to do for Ron Raines and Debbie Gravitte (phone call #1) and a chart or two for Mario Frangoulis (phone call #2).  Thank you, Jesus!
And that's great news!!

I thought some of Theatermania critic Peter Filichia's comments on LESTAT were sorta kinda worth repeating here.  And Peter Filichia is not always the kinda gentler critic he was fifteen to twenty years ago.  (Ask anyone involved with CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, for example.)  Here's some of his review: 

 
"It's the best damned vampire musical Broadway has seen in years. Granted, that's not saying much for Lestat, considering that Broadway's most recent vampire musicals -- Dance of the Vampires (2002) and Dracula: The Musical (2004) -- were atrocities. But the reports of Lestat's death from West Coast critics and New York preview audiences have been greatly exaggerated. The new musical at the Palace is certainly not a great show, but it's occasionally a good one. Based on the vampire chronicles of Anne Rice, it has music by Elton John, lyrics by Bernie Taupin, and a book by Linda Woolverton."

And I enjoyed LESS THAN PERFECT as well. Not great comedy, but some of the silliness is contagious, and it looks great in high def.

I like this show.  I'm glad it's back. :)

Well I didn't see any photos of DRJOSE on the Playbill.com, Broadway.com OR Broadwayworld.com coverage of LESTAT's opening night.  

BUT - it looks like gray/purple was the color scheme for the staff.  And I must say the director is kind of scary looking - at least in one photo!

Just back from the DR. (that's doctor, not dear reader).  Its seems I am (or have been for a while) at least 33% over what the charts say my proper weight should be.  Not sure if 33% is any sort of benchmark (I think 25% marks one as "obese" and I guess I sort of kind of knew that).  

I was a little surprised that they took blood for the blood work without any fasting period beforehand (I told the doctor that I had eaten just three hours earlier and he said that's no problem) - is this a relatively new way of doing such things?  I remember that the labs used to ask you to have the blood drawn before you ate anything for the day for routine bloodwork.

BABES IN ARMS!!!!

However, she didn't sing the great "Barney O'Flynn" in BABES IN TOYLAND either.
