Okay, so do you think Millie is too tough of a show for a middle school/high school drama program?

The show where I work is being student directed this year, which means moi doesn't get to choose the show (booooo ). The girl who is directing is leaning towards Millie but, since we have a very lazy musical director (hell, who am I kidding he's practically non-existent and is a rock musician who doesn't play the piano) I am worried that the material will be too much for just her to teach to these kids. I mean, the reason Grease worked so well was due to the fact that we played to our strengths.... rock musicals just go over better at our school (and we can get away with a lot)!

The biggest problem with Millie is the tap-dancing. I wouldn't recommend it for a school that isn't heavy on dancers, or at least has a great choreographer who can TEACH non-dancers the tap routines. I think that in other regards, it's not especially difficult (it's really popular among high schools and camps in my area), but the dance is the deciding factor.

Not only tap dancing, but dancing in general. I have seen 2 different productions of Millie and the choreography got old quickly. So unless you have VERY good dancers and a VERY good choreographer, I wouldn't do Millie. BUT I will say I do love Millie. Cute show :)

My daughter just stage crew for a production of Millie this summer and I thought they did a great job. I think it's a fun show for high school age kids. Maybe they had a lot of good dancers 'cuz I didn't see that as a problem. The problem with this production was there was 20 boys and 500 girls!!

The only other problem I can really forsee is that there a couple pretty big songs in there. Namely Muzzie's "Only in New York" (that's one of my go-to belt songs and sometimes even I have trouble with it and I'm 27) and Gimme Gimme...well come to think of it, some of Miss Dorothy's stuff is pretty big. For middle school aged kids, it might be too much. But it might work. I'm not trying to discredit them, but I would also hate to see them push it too hard and end up damaging their voices. Or they don't damage their voice, but they don't get the songs right either, which would bring down the production.

Again...it's just something to think about.

Wow where is everybody today!??

I dunno!
I just took a nap. I haven't taken one in a loooong time! LOVED it!
How is your day so far Lucious?

I've been around, but since I've never seen Millie I had nothing to contribute to the conversation.

My day's been pretty good! How about everybody else's?

Well, that was a stressful work day! Complete with a giant roll of bubble wrap in the middle of the store! Oi

Thanks for the Millie advice. The powers that be (which I guess doesn't include me) have chosen it..... and I think it has bad idea written all over it.

I'm also sad because my brother was going to do the show if we did Suessical, Wedding Singer, or We Will Rock You... but he doesn't want to do Millie. I have been trying to get him to do a musical because he's hilarious and has a beautiful voice...

Ah, well.... we're doing a showcase and I have some stuff up my sleeve for that!

well good luck with Millie! I'm sure you/everyone will be surprised with the outcome. Just put all of your efforts into that you can!

Stock, LOL get this. I am so used to calling you Stock, so I went on facebook and searched "Stock" LOL sadly, nothing came up

Hahaaaa, today I videotaped myself singing "A Heart Full of Love," "One Day More," "Written In The Stars," "Back to Before," and "The Plagues" (from the Prince of Egypt). I might someday upload them somewhere if I'm brave... but I don't know if I'm THAT brave. I know too many people who are fabulous singers, and I really don't have great technique. I did discover that I can make some pretty hilarious faces when I'm singing, though.

Kels, that's so aggravating, but I still think the production will turn out well! It's sad about your brother not doing the show, either. My brother is a great singer, and I always tried to force him into doing shows, but he never would... until he did "Annie Get Your Gun" at my school and discovered that all of the girls fawned over him, so now he does all the shows. When your brother's older, he'll discover that girls love a guy who can sing.

Hey girls, just wanted to pop in and say hello and see how everyone's doing but apparently everyone's on vaycay or back in school. I have to let you guys know what happened at the hospital today. It was so effing cute yet slightly disturbing.

I was doing my blood work stuff when an older couple came into the clinic. Apparently some of the other nurses knew them or at least knew the adorable little old lady named Estelle. I was told that Estelle's husband of 50+ years passed away 3 years ago and she finally got her "groove back" (their words not mine) when she met her "gentleman caller" Joe at the retirement complex they live in together. I thought they were so precious together and it was really sweet to see Estelle blush and giggle like a little school girl when some of the nurses and PAs poked fun at her and her man. I think Estelle's in her late 70s and Joe's in his early 80s but they looked great and like they had some pep in their step. After Estelle and Joe rounded the corner to wait for the doctor one of the nurses turns to me and with no pause and no break-time to give me a moment to recover she says: "Aren't they cutest little things you've ever seen? Too bad I gotta go tell 'em they both have herpes..." HERPES for crying out loud!!!! Old people are sweet but dammit they're dirty as HELL!!!!! Can you just imagine them getting it on after boozing it up with a box 'o' wine and a rousing game of strip Canasta?! ICK!!!!

TOFU, OH MY GOSH... DAY = MADE! Ahahahaaaa...

[StockardFan]

Posted: 8/27/09 at 8:36am

Pssst.....Piano, you do know we're already Facebook friends, right?

Tofu, that is so freaking funny! But hell, if they BOTH have herpes what the heck? It's not like they'll probably be boinking anyone else again.

[Pianolin717]

Posted: 8/27/09 at 8:39am

Oh, of course I do, I just had a brain far on your actual name, so I was trying to find your name via Stock instead of what it really is lol
I would never forget we were fb friends!

[lusciouslace]

Posted: 8/27/09 at 10:16am

Tofu- hahaha...awesome

Actually for a while the demographic with the highest growing rate of new HIV cases was the elderly group. They didn't have to be as careful when they were our age, plus they know they ain't gettin' prego. Haha. So they're not as careful and that's what happens. Scary actually. But yeah...how do you tell an 80 year old that he has herpes.
