I forgot about "Cradle Will Rock."  I like that movie.  I remember watching (and taping) the PBS broadcast of the stage production with John Houseman's introduction.  I LOVED that. ;D

The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music will be doing a free production of Marc Blitzstein's The Cradle Will Rock as part of their Studio Musical Theater Series, May 10-12.  I have been interested in this piece and its controversial history ever since I did a major history paper on the Federal Theatre Project in college.

I knew someday it would happen...and today was the day....I accidently used my hair product on my face thinking it was moisturizing cream.

It took me a little over a half hour to figure out why my face felt so strange and stiff.

MBarnum, please know that I'm laughing with you and not at you, but...ROTFLMAO!! ;D

Thanks so much for the background information, DR elmore3003 - fascinating!

That must have been most exciting when you unearthed the lost comedy number at the LoC.

...And I was there!

Not a peep from anyone.  I've left a message for Margaret (isn't that a Bacharach/David song) and I've sent an e-mail to the pressing plant lady, but I guess I won't be getting them by noon.

Jersey Boys has announced more tour dates and there will, as I read it, be two additional companies sent out (if I'm mis-reading it, then it's one additional company).  And our very own Merissa Haddad is being flown to NY at this very moment for her callback for one of those companies.  Excellent vibes and xylophones to her.

Most Excellent Vibes and Xylophones and any other Percussion Instruments for Merissa!!

RE: GREASE.

I agree with many things that DRs Jose and George said about last night's show.  I do think that on paper austin might be the more talented. But to me (and ashley does this too) it always seems like they are acting. I never feel their emotion or think they are the characters.  And this is a huge problem for me.

I was thinking about this and was wondering if it really would matter in a theater.  I mean, during this competition, we can see up close and personal and tell (and feel) that Austin is "acting," but if we're 10, 30 or 50 rows back, would we be as cynical about his performance?  Maybe on TV he's actually been "acting" for the back row, and if he were in a theater, his performance would come across as genuine.  Just a thought.

I understand what elmore is saying about JFK and I normally abhor Mr. Stone's films, but that one is well-directed, and considering its running time, extremely well-paced.  As a FILM, it works for me, despite its problems with truth.

And speaking of Grease... Sitting about seven feet away from me is the amazing Louis St. Louis, the musical director and arranger of the original Broadway production of Grease.

*And, yes, we have been talkin'.

:D Talkin' Vibes for Jose!!

Speaking of Hermione, I read that actress Emma Watson has declined to participate in the final POTTER films past the one that's opening this summer.

I haven't read the last two books, so I have to assume that Hermione doesn't die in THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE.
You're ASKING for a spoiler?








The character who dies in Half Blood Prince is...















someone else.
