Earlier I said I proofed eight pages then snoozed. Oops - eight was supposed to be eighty.

I stayed for act one - lots of laughs but one of my leads was very low energy, so I emailed him a note, and three other actors got minor notes.

I came home to proof, but ended up having a thirty-minute phone call.

Last night I found the program where I sang with John McGlinn as a member of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. It was for a 1990 Boston Pops concert that was taped for Evening at Pops.

Very cool! :D

Lots of great soloists: Brent Barrett, Kim Criswell, Davis Gaines, Jason Graae, Cris Groenendaal, Judy Kaye, Rebecca Luke, and Paige O'Hara.

They were the cream of the crop during the golden age of historical musical theater. :)

In my humble opinion.

The thing is, I wasn't supposed to be there. They confused me with another tenor with the same last name. When they called me I told them that, but they said no, it was me. Then at the first rehearsal they had no music for the other tenor. They found some and we both sang the concert.

That's great, Michael!

Today in the mail I received the new 2025 cast recording of Ragtime, the limited-to-only-100-copies Stage Door Records release of Selections from Miss Liberty with Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians, and the 2-CD score soundtrack to The Faculty.

There was one person checking out when we approached the line and three more carts in front of us.  Someone totaled all of the remaining carts making the check out process super fast.  That is the first time someone has done this when we were in line.

I've seen that happen, but it's never happened to me.

I got to see the broadcast but you couldn't see me, the shortest tenor in a chorus scrunched into the upstage left corner for one or two numbers. But it was a blast being there.

I bet it was a blast! :D

Bobby Vee and some guy in turquoise who’s so happy he’s gay:

I don't think I'd ever heard that song, but the guys are pretty darned cute. ;)

I wonder when or where that was filmed.  Everyone is showing their belly buttons and I know that for a time (on US TV, at least) that wasn't allowed.

If Elphaba is so dang smart, why does she say, “This is between the Wizard and I”? The correct phrase is “between the Wizard and me” because it’s the object of a preposition.

I blame Stephen Schwartz!

I drove through Wendy's after playing cards at my mom's and got one of their Chicken Caesar wraps.  It was quite tasty.
