Everything The Traffic Will Allow: WAY AHEAD OF MY TIME

http://everything-theatrical.blogspot.com/2009/02/way-ahead-of-my-time.html

Everything The Traffic Will Allow. Random Musings On All Things Broadway. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. WAY AHEAD OF MY TIME. OK boys and girls, here's one I'll wager you don't know. The song is "Way Ahead of My Time" also known as "The Caveman Song." The writer is Peter Mills, who is a recent discovery for me, although I've learned Pete has been kicking around for some time. He can write wonderful, dramatic songs or straight comedy, as evidenced here. This nutty song comes from. Carolyn in the City. Febru...

http://everything-theatrical.blogspot.com/2009/02/insect-play.html

Everything The Traffic Will Allow. Random Musings On All Things Broadway. Friday, February 27, 2009. Today's blog entry comes courtesy of the 2/27/09 edition of the New York Times Crossword puzzle which referenced the satire/allegory. By Czech writers Karel and Josef Capek. Karel Capek appears fairly regularly in the Times puzzle, usually with reference to his famous 1921 expressionistic play. The World We Live In. The play was published in its original Czech in 1921 as. All but a few of the characters a...

Everything The Traffic Will Allow: BYE BYE BIRDIE

http://everything-theatrical.blogspot.com/2009/02/bye-bye-birdie.html

Everything The Traffic Will Allow. Random Musings On All Things Broadway. Thursday, February 12, 2009. My daughter's high school is doing. As their spring musical this year. Since Caitlin was fortunate enough to have been cast as Kim, we've spent a lot of time studying the script and score. You know, I really thought I knew this piece, but it turns out I didn't. Now that I've spent some time looking at it carefully, I'm beginning to realize what a finely crafted work this is. New Faces of 1952. This titl...

Everything The Traffic Will Allow: January 2009

http://everything-theatrical.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Everything The Traffic Will Allow. Random Musings On All Things Broadway. Saturday, January 31, 2009. Henry Miller's Theatre was constructed in 1918 at 124 West 43rd Street as part of the theatre construction boom, when it seemed every actor-manager needed to have his own personal showplace. For many years this lovely theatre, with its elegant Georgian facade, was considered one of the most beautiful playhouses in NYC. Just above is a view of the exterior from 1927. La, La, Lucille. Based on Carl Reiner'...

Everything The Traffic Will Allow: BARBARA COOK

http://everything-theatrical.blogspot.com/2009/02/barbara-cook.html

Everything The Traffic Will Allow. Random Musings On All Things Broadway. Sunday, February 15, 2009. Just a quick post today. I'm busy studying the new studio recording of Rodgers and Hammerstein's 1947 musical. These days. There's a lot to absorb and I'm not ready to post a review just yet. Here's a bit of the documentary about the making of that. Cook really came into her own starring as Marion the librarian in. For that matter. Where are those Ed Sullivan clips when I need them? The set dressing posit...

your invisible pixie: Love Letters

http://yourinvisiblepixie.blogspot.com/2010/05/love-letters.html

I'm unpredictable. I'm complicated. I like musicals and theatre and musical theatre. And guys. And word puzzles. And hugs. I want to visit Australia. I like pigs. I'm me. Saturday, May 29, 2010. I have never had a love letter written to me. I don't blame that on anyone that I've dated, though. The fact is, most of the guys I've dated haven't exactly been writer-ly inclined. (Yeah, I know that's not a word. Oh well.). Really classy, right? Most of them came from when we were living in the same place.

I'm unpredictable. I'm complicated. I like musicals and theatre and musical theatre. And guys. And word puzzles. And hugs. I want to visit Australia. I like pigs. I'm me. Thursday, June 30, 2011. So after seeing Super 8 with my friend Jason (great movie, btw) I was in the mood for some good home cookin'. Because in the (whatever decade Super 8 takes place in), they had home cookin'. Of course. SO! I made a plan to bring something in for my coworkers. (I'm such a nice person. HA! I got the recipe from my ...

your invisible pixie: June 2010

I'm unpredictable. I'm complicated. I like musicals and theatre and musical theatre. And guys. And word puzzles. And hugs. I want to visit Australia. I like pigs. I'm me. Sunday, June 27, 2010. What has changed since the 1940's to now that makes divorce rates so high? I was always one of the luckier ones, with my parents still being married, but more than half of my friends when I was growing up came from divorced families. I never really speculated on why that was - why should I? Thursday, June 10, 2010.

I'm unpredictable. I'm complicated. I like musicals and theatre and musical theatre. And guys. And word puzzles. And hugs. I want to visit Australia. I like pigs. I'm me. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. I've been feeling a lot better about stuff recently. I think the trip to Reno really helped (did I mention I went on a spur of the moment trip to Reno a few weekends ago? And I've been cooking! Also, I made it to 23! I'm excited for Thanksgiving though. I've gotta say, I never thought I'd be super excit...
