It is supposed to be here in Denver in January or February. I have to check and see if it will still be here. Sounds like it might not.

The book lagged on and on with mediocre songs interspersed throughout. The costumes, scenery, and special effects were just laughable (perhaps they skimped a bit too much for the tour to be effective?). All the actors were great, doing the best they could, but it was just not enough to save them from this travesty.

Sounds like a pretty good description of the source material. Perhaps they stayed a little too close. I am sure that those words were all used in reviews when this film was released.

I do think the song Your Eyes is beautiful, even if it is sung to a seal.

PEACE.

Sumthin' wrong with seals?

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Nothing wrong with seals, in fact my baby seal skin coat is one of my favorite possessions! Which reminds me, I need to get that out of storage now that the weather is turning.

PEACE.

I pass the "Doolittle" marquee in Chicago every day to and from work, and on my lunch break today I saw that they had taken it down.

True - the tour is cancelling cities - they want to retool the show.

I don't know for how long or which cities will be affected. I suspect an announcement will come today or tomorrow. Either from PLO or from the individual cities.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Dammit, I was kind of looking forward to seeing it, even if it was kind of bad. Tom Hewitt can't catch a break these days, can he?

one of the first changes they should make is to have "Like Animals" be the act one finale and not "When I Look In Your Eyes"...
