I love this quote from Roger Ebert's review of "The Avengers" movie:

"Comic-Con nerds will have multiple orgasms," predicts critic David Edelstein in New York magazine, confirming something I had vaguely suspected about them. If he is correct, it's time for desperately needed movies to re-educate nerds in the joys of sex.

I don't think I will go to the theatre to see that movie.

Nothing more annoying than a belated good morning, and that's exactly what this is.

"Lady in a Cage"?? Ordered! Will always remember first seeing it in Fort Lauderdale at the tender age of something or other. I'd been completely blown away by "Baby Jane" and those that followed. "Hush Hush", "Strait-Jacket", etc. Loved 'em all. Still do. Never saw "Cage" again till finding the DVD a few years ago, and seeing how good the film was after all those years was just another great thrill.

First play or musical: Yikes. I know my first two musicals on film were "South Pacific" (at a drive-in!) and "Porgy and Bess" -- not sure which was first. But that wasn't the question, now, was it? How ANNOYING of me.

Okay, first musical on stage was a summer stock or a touring company doing "Kismet" in Columbus, Ohio. I have the program...somewhere. Kenley Players, maybe? The answer is waiting in some drawer. If that wasn't the first, then it's a community production of "South Pacific in Fort Lauderdale in the cavernous War Memorial Auditorium. This will be late 1960 or early 1961.

For Broadway, it was Ginger Rogers in "Hello, Dolly", then I saw Channing do it on tour at the Dade County Auditorium in Miami.

First non-musical play, though?? -- Annoyingly, I HAVE NO IDEA!

Have to think about this.

I am convinced that creativity is DEAD in the theatrical world. Or is just not supported. Do we really need ANOTHER remake of something??

(yes, that's a link)

That's scarier than the original movie DR MATTHEW.

Maybe if he has Audrey II meet/eat the Brady Bunch down on Skid Row. Otherwise, what's the point?

I wonder what the Spider-Man guy wants to rewrite--the original movie or the musical movie?

What a wacky day so far. I went back to bed at six-thirty, fell asleep at around seven-fifteen, was awakened at nine-twenty by the telephone, then again at ten, then I fell asleep again and was finally awakened by the door bell at eleven-thirty. Since then I've been printing out orders, had a burger and no fries for lunch, picked up the errant and truant overseas package and am now trying to catch up before rehearsal begins at three-thirty.

Well, our AC has been running all day and it's not very cool in our house. We've placed a call to our furnace guys, one of whom is our nephew-by-marriage.

Bruce I received a message this morning on Facebook from someone I don't know. She had sad news to share about a mutual friend. She noticed you & I are friends & asked how I know you with. How do you know Jacqueline Derin Shea?

I envy your ability to go back to sleep and then sleep in late.

Well, mine's an easy fix: "Fork over the quoted six grand, please."

House is 18 years old, the original central a/c unit has been on its last legs for at least the past three years, and I know it doesn't have another season left in it. I'm going to have to swallow it and pick up that phone within the next couple of weeks.

TOD: the first Broadway show I saw was "Mame," starring Ann Miller.

DR ChasSmith, we've been expecting something like that for a long time. Our house is 50+ years old and the furnace is original. I think the central AC was added later.

When I was around 10, maybe 11, my mother took me to see THE MUSIC MAN. We had great seats, close enough for me to see everything. I wish I had the tickets from that night.

DR Jane - I wonder if that was the same tour that I saw in Detroit?

Jane · « **Reply #83 on:** May 03, 2012, 04:37:52 PM »

Maybe. Was the original Broadway cast in it?

Jane · « **Reply #84 on:** May 03, 2012, 04:48:00 PM »

All day yesterday I thought it was the 3rd. Imagine my surprise this morning when it still was the 3rd. I feel like I've gained an extra day.

Late this afternoon my throat started hurting and i'm feeling a bit achy.

T.O.D.

The first two professional productions I saw at the Seattle Rep. First I saw THE CRUCIBLE with my English class, and then I won tickets for Christmas Evening to see BLITH SPIRIT, with Margaret Hamilton as Madame Arcati. Both shows were wonderful.
