Although, something tells me that DR MusicGuy likes it rough.

And on a much lighter note....

From yesterday's New York Times:

Quote

February 27, 2007
‘Grease’ Car Makes Pit Stop

By LAWRENCE VAN GELDER
A vehicle carrying the Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson of a Dutch production of the musical "Grease" wound up in the orchestra pit during a performance on Sunday night in Almere, nine miles east of Amsterdam, The Associated Press reported.

Jim Bakkum as Danny, the role played by John Travolta in the 1978 film, suffered a concussion, and Bettina Holwerda, in the role played by Olivia Newton-John, might have broken her arm, Dutch television was told by Peter Swinkels, the director of the Almere City Theater.

No musicians were injured when the car, made up of the chassis of a red-and-white convertible and the engine of a golf cart, landed in an empty part of the pit.

An omen of what's to come this summer on Broadway?

There's such a thing as an empty part of an orchestra pit?

I know that was a rather frightening and horrific experience for those involved, but at the same time I couldn't help but laugh.

Question for Jose - When someone (hypothetically, Jose) offers to take someone (hypothetically, Cason) on a trip (hypothetically, to France), are they offering just to buy that person a plane ticket, or are they offering to finance that peron's entire trip, soup to nuts (so to speak)?

I meant that person, not that peron, unless it's a trip to see Evita in London.

Good morning, fellow Dear Readers. Last night I let the wild kitties go back home. They were glad to get back. Today I have to disinfect the traps and get them back to the agency that lent them to us. Then I will work on church newsletters.

Don't I live an exciting life? I want my life to be as boring as possible.

Bless you and your kitty project -- I like to think there's a special place in heaven, the cosmos, or wherever one believes we go for folks like you...

Well, if Mr Music Guy is not paying for the entire trip, then I take back my acceptance of his offer to have me go along as chaperone -- it's all or nothing, baby, or this momma ain't going

He's just been cast as the gay writer in the pilot for a comedy series based on the lives of WILL & GRACE creators Dave Kohan and Max Mutchnick.

Or am I thinking of someone else. The Brian Green I'm talking about was on FREDDIE last season.

I'm thnking you mean Brian "Austin" Green.

I have no Agnomen. I don't consider Ben to be one, even though my full name is Benjamin. I've never had an Agnomen unless people have created one and call me that behind my back. Perhaps that was what Larry and Jose were up to yesterday when they had dinner. They created Agnomens for everyone on HHW

Uh-oh.

I think I saw Brian LANE Green star in JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT.  He was very good.

Thanks, DR JEANNE for the comment on my review.

I looked for a discussion, but didn't find it.  Jamie Foxx last year's best actor wasn't there to present the Best Actress Oscar this year.  Does anyone know why?  I can guess, but I am not sure.

Here are my thoughts on last night's AMERICAN IDOL.

*
*
*





Okay i am still madly in love with blake (beat boxer guy).  And my other favorites are the same as last week (Chris richardson (justin timberlake guy), chris s(guy with big bushy hair) and phil (guy with the baby) ).

I really liked Chris R last night. And was pleasantly surprised that the judges loved him. His song was so different from anything i've seen on idol. I just find him sweet.

I did not like phil's song. But i agree with simon. He is popular and will be back next week.

The ones i am worried for are jared and nick. I don't care for them. I also don't care for aj, but the judges really praised him this week (which could save him).

I thought sundance was much better. I wonder if he will belt out big numbers like that each week from now on.

As for sunjaya, i thought he was better than last week (how could he not be). But he sings so shy and timdly. But he is popular. So he'll probably be safe. He has talent, so i sure hope he steps things up.

The GREASE pit would be empty if they were using LOTS of recorded music.

And yes, DRJOSE, I think it's an apt metaphor for the "new" Broadway production.  My prediction is less than 15 weeks including previews.

[size=8]SPOILER[/size]

Revealing that Hiro's father is part of "the company" does kind of confuse things.  If Hiro was known to be different and was adopted like Claire, there is no way that his father would have let him leave Japan in the first place, let alone allow him to continue with his quest.  And if his father didn't know about him, well that's a bit of an amazing coincidence.  But then, that's the stuff of drama.

!!!!!  SUPER SPOILER  !!!!!

Some sharp-eyed people on a message board I read have noticed that in HRG's flashback, the young Haitian was wearing an amulet around his neck that is the same symbol as Jessica's tattoo.  Not only that, but the same symbol appears on Hiro's sword.  What do you think of that?


[size=8]More Spoilage![/size]
[/color]

I don't think Hiro's father, or anyone, COULD have stopped Hiro from leaving Japan, since it's a matter of "mind" power.  Of course, they could medicate him so that he couldn't concentrate....but then they'd have to know about his power first.

Since Hiro only recently discovered his power (we saw him use it for the first time in the first episode), it's unlikely anyone in "the company" knew what it would be, but YES! It is possible they knew he was "different"...all have a genetic marker.  He may be adopted, but his father was certainly wanting him to take over the family business (which Hiro ceded to his sister).  


Interesting observation about that "symbol"!  Has anyone noted that Jessica has it, but Nicki doesn't?

If there were any JUSTICE, Sunjaya and A.J. would be the ones going home tomorrow night.

Chris Sligh and Chris Richardson were very good.  Blake Lewis was terrific.  Sundance Head was terrific.  Phil Stacey has a nice voice....bad song choice, IMO, but safe.

Jared and Nick should definitely worry a bit, though.  Sunjaya's got the John Stevens thing going for him...i.e., so-so performer with large, tin-eared fan base.

I've forgotten one of them....and because of that, he should worry, too.
