Can the Adults Please Smoke? Chapter 35: Look Who's Here,We're Still Here!! — Page 103

Yeah, Addy, I got a text last night from a certain Maitre d' ...

We're going to see PETER AND THE STARCATCHER tomorrow night -- very excited. I've heard such incredible things about it.

I've always been enchanted by Peter.

Come on folks, you make me do it.

Happy pre-cocktail hour Friday the 13th!

I thought I'd drop by and say "hello" and that I hope this finds everyone doing well. What's happening? Charles and I had a terrific dinner at Osteria al Doge last week with a loving old friend and a new friend. Tonight we're going to 1 Man, 2 Govs. It was delightful to see that Rachel York will be joining the Encores cast of Gentlemen. By one of life's twists of fate Rachel will be co-starring with Megan Hilty who as you know plays a Marilyn Monroe wanna-be on NBC's Smash while Rachel played Marilyn in last year's workshop of Charles' now-in-the-deep-freeze Broadway bound musical Me and Miss Monroe. Said workshop was directed by John Rando, the Gentlemen director, in another twist of fate. Ah, the show business. I'm semi-retired and working 3 days a week for an indefinite period and helping Charles where I can. His musical Frog Kiss, which starred Curtis Holbrook in 2010 at NYMF, will be on the boards again in Virginia come January, as it begins its way to the way that is great white. Let's see what happens. We caught a terrific show by Brent Barrett and Karen Mason earlier this week at Birdland. They performed all Kander and Ebb. Brent did the best-ever arrangement of All That Jazz that I've ever heard. It is arranged with a jazz harmonica. I understand it is on Brent's Kander & Ebb CD. Must get it.

Thanks for letting me pop by I'd like to do so again. Take care all.

Soon the adults will be waking and starting their workweek, whilst I can't find the sleep to end the weekend.

Good weekend it was - first official ride on my new bike, first run-through of Bernarda Alba, Titanic on 3D last night, and a day spent doing much of nothing today.

Oh Bouche, you wish.

Mornin'

Good morning everyone. What a glorious day!

The Times review for PETER AND THE STARCATCHERS is a well deserved rave, but I have to wonder: in what world is Christian Borle tall? And blond? I think Ben has been fantasizing again.

(Borle was on one of those flights from Sarasota to New York that I was constantly taking when my parents were dying. He's short.)

I enjoyed the show; J2 not so much. I'm glad it's getting basically good reviews -- it's a lot of fun.

I usually have a big vase of fresh-cut flowers in my office, but I'm not refilling it until my allergy attacks subside. Maybe I'll replace it with a cactus garden.

I'd LOVE to see Pater and the the Starcatcher. I wonder how long Borle will be able to stay on...

Well then, I'm not seeing it with THOSE people! I'll see it with you.

Morning.

I want to see it, too.

Somms, I finally had to hide updates by them. I was ready to go post on their wall to knock it the heck off. I'll unhide them in a few days. UGH!

My cousin's daughter is getting married and she had a small shower at her home yesterday. All six of us granddaughters on my mom's side were there. We're rarely at the same place at the same time. I think the last time was the funeral for the cousin's husband that got killed in Alaska. Time before that was a funeral for their brother. So, this was the first time for a happy event. LOL!

Morning peeps! Spent the weekend sick in bed. HC took such good care of me. I was hoping to have a better anniversary celebration yesterday, but my body would only allow me to make it to the couch. I got a lovely card at my homemade breakfast. It contained 2 tickets for Godspell in June. I'd invite 1 of you, but I think it only fitting to bring him. He rented 2 movies for us to watch. 1 for him (Scream 4) and 1 for me (Puss in Boots). Both were very entertaining. My fever finally broke in the middle of the night and so hoepfully the worse is over.

BTW I see Jose popped in for a brief visit. Glad things are going well for him. I'd like a semi-retirement.

Moony, we didn't! I don't think I even realized all six of us were there, until I was driving home! Maybe if we all make it to the wedding!

Poor Boobala.

Good morning all!

Had to break out all the fans this morning, it be hot up in here. I do want to see P&TS but I guess I'm not friends with the same people you are friends with because my FB was quiet.

Last day off. boo. I don't wanna go back. I made the mistake of checking my email this morning. ugh. No to decide if it is a couch day or get out and do errands day.

Glad to hear everyone is feeling better!
