Then I came home. I'm meeting Cason and BJ at Joe Allen later - drop by if you're around. We're getting there at eight-fifteen, but let Case know if you're coming so he can get a bigger table.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR TCB!!!!!!!!

The cast got their scripts today - and I was dismayed to see that the little changes we made to the first General Mills scene, threw off the spacing for the rest of the script. I thought I'd checked but apparently I hadn't. When we first began writing this, sending it back and forth, we didn't do the page breaks properly, hence every time we change something it moves everything. I have to now go in and fix it.

I almost thought I was experiencing some dejá vu. Again.

In other news...

Yes, the speculation/possibility regarding my involvement with Mary Poppins has buoyed my spirits the past couple of days. Again, we haven't really talked about anything concrete, and if anything were to happen, it would probably not be for a couple of months. But, again, it was just nice to be asked if I was interested.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #216 on:** August 23, 2007, 03:15:12 PM »

Hmm... Apparently, there's a young woman rehearsing with her pianist in one of the small studios here. It's like she's going through the whole Contemporary Broadway Belter's Songbook. Hmm...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #217 on:** August 23, 2007, 03:15:43 PM »

And, of course, it sounds like she can "loud" fine. But when it comes to singing "soft", well, that's another story. $:-\$

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #218 on:** August 23, 2007, 03:16:50 PM »

Well... Since the studio is booked for another hour, I think I'm going to take advantage of the piano in there - how unseemly! - and read through my Mary Poppins piano/conductor's score. I have a lot of dance music to get under my fingers.

Laters...

Cason · « **Reply #219 on:** August 23, 2007, 03:31:12 PM »

Ahhhhh, already I'm having separation issues with "The Brain." Can't wait for tomorrow!
The cast is going to be fantastic - if BK isn't pleased as punch (which I believe he is), then I just don't know what to say.

As he noted, we spent today adding in some harmonies to most of the company numbers, then just to get a jump on tomorrow, Barry Pearl and I stayed and worked on two renditions of "The Plan" and figured out some fun stuff to do with that.

I cannot wait for the read-through tomorrow; most of these people haven't read the scripts and I can't wait to see what their reactions are.

BJ and I are just relaxing here at home base - I got in a short nap and he's been about on the internet for most of the time. Now, we just wait to meet Senor BK.

When he makes an appearance, I wonder if he'll be wearing his "birthday suit"!

Pommes Duchesse
Carrot cake

Now to find a salad for dinner!

I'm a bit confused by one of der Brucer's pet stories. DerB, you didn't notice that your son was wearing a boa constrictor around his neck until you got to the check-out counter? No one else noticed, either? No one said anything? I've witnessed people being out to lunch, but somehow I think someone would have noticed. Was something said AT the check-put counter? Like, "Excuse me, but is that a live boa constrictor around your neck?"

I did not notice.
No one else noticed.
No one said anything.

Note: Red Tail Boa's camoflage coloration seems to work!
