The Show - well, the Opera - Must Go On!

*Even if it means that the leading diva will be performing on crutches or in a wheelchair!

What a trooper!

DR JMK, great chicken story.

When I got back from lunch today (Port of Subs), there was a package from Amazon.com waiting for me. In the package was the DVD to the recent "Chess In Concert" and the corresponding 2-CD set. Also included was the cast recording to Stephen Sondheim's Road Show and the very first CD of a group called JaLaLa, "That Old Mercer Magic! JaLaLa is a three-woman vocal group, made up of Janis Siegel (alto in The Manhattan Transfer), Laurel Massé (original soprano in The Manhattan Transfer) and Lauren Kinhan (I'd never heard of her before, but I found out that she is/was part of New York Voices). I'll listen to this CD as soon as I'm finished with "Cops and Robbers."

Meet Ramin Karimloo, the Canadian actor hand-picked by Sir Andrew to play the lead role in Phantom of the Opera II: Love Never Dies

I still find it funny that we're getting a hunk to pay a role thast depends on a lot of falsetto, a ton of deformed makeup and a silly mask. Has Sir Andrew finally turned gay?

The new star is making appearances on a lot of sites today.

BK, since you're the Li'l Abner expert, I have a question (actually, anyone can answer, if they know). According to the editorial review/product description of "That Old Mercer Magic!, "Standout tracks are; Spring, Spring, Spring from the Tony Award winning Broadway musical Li'l Abner..." But that song title is not listed on either the Broadway cast recording or the movie soundtrack, nor is it in the Internet Broadway Database page for Li'l Abner. Is this really from Li'l Abner (maybe under a different title) or was it/could it have been written for a different show by Gene DePaul and Johnny Mercer and the reviewer got his/her facts mixed up?

I was going to watch THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, but it appeared that either an earlier episode was being shown or they played THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL instead (Susan Flannery isn't on Y&R, is she?) since at 1 p.m., it switched to the funeral. I set the DVR to record THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS from SoapNet tonight at 7.

Susan Flannery is on the Bold & the Beautiful. I believe they showed that at 12:30pm. I'm guessing they will show today's US episode tomorrow, especially since it's an important one. Interestingly they showed the new episode here on Global. Only the channel was not playing for the first half hour. So i only saw the second part.

DR MattH, actually I'm gonna change what i wrote above. Apparently Y&R (today's US Tues episode) was shown on the west coast. So CBS might show it sometime during the night.

So they won't be showing today's episode tomorrow (which i think they should have done). This was a key show, and a lot of people are gonna miss it. Although i guess people can watch it on cbs.com.

Yep, it's not from Li'l Abner.

Did you hear the great song about the Eyetalian bisexual who won't admit he's a bisexual? Not A Dago's Bi.

And the one about the Eyetalian bisexual who sort of admits it - Sometimes A Dago's Bi.

The funny thing about the "king of pop" (I always thought the king was Elvis, but what do I know) has this media frenzy funeral that is ridiculous - and yet real legends, real bona-fide legends like Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly or Alfred Hitchcock or any number of far greater people who had far greater impact on the business we call show - those people don't get this kind of treatment or coverage.

Topic of the Day (continued): the London cast recording of 1776.

The London recording of 1776? That just seems so wrong.

Bruce, dying suddenly & at a young age increases the frenzy & emotion. I can imagine what it would have been like when Elvis died had the internet been what it is today. Elvis was the King of Rock & Roll

Well, off to Dress Tech. Vibes appreciated.

The difference is that Astaire, Kelly, Hitchcock and the others had "class".
