I wanna know where you live that's inexpensive and close to midtown. I'm having zero luck in the apartment search.

NYC apartments are close to the top of my list at the moment.

See posts about the kid above to know why.

Today is the day he leaves.

Look out, Broadway.

OK,

Daughter number one just got a lead in 42nd Street at a local "professional" theatre here in Denver.

Son returns home tonight and starts rehearsals for Millie at a local Equity house that casts out of New York.

In February he starts rehearsals for a 6 month European cruise.

He was cut in the third (dance) callback for Spamalot in NY.

After skipping one very average season, Mrs. DA and I have resubscribed to the Broadway Series at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts -- although I've seen almost all of the shows in NY, it's a good season this year. As I recall, it has Spamalot, Lights, and two or three other good shows.

That's our Christmas present to each other every year.

Saw High Fidelity last night. It was great. Now I have all of the songs from it stuck in my head. I highly recommend it.

I've only seen the Broadway version. My parents saw it when it was in San Fran and loved it.

Saw it both in NY and on tour.

Both were a lot of fun.

I think you'll enjoy it.

Quick update on the son -- he leaves next month as an entertainer on a six month cruise ship. A couple of months basically going from Seattle to Alaska, then a 60 day cruise of Asia and the South Pacific.

Poor baby.

Nice "theatre news" in our family recently.

Saw Light in the Piazza here yesterday and think I enjoyed it more that when I saw it in New York.

Oldest daughter had a very good audition at a local professional dinner theatre for Maria in The Sound Of Music. She played the part at another dinner theatre last year. We're keeping our finger crossed for her.

Her husband (finally) got a job as director of a Christian oriented youth theatre organization. He's an actor, dancer, director, etc. but hasn't done much to support the family until now.

Newspaper reported yesterday that a woman that oldest daughter went to Musical Theatre School with (University of Northern Colorado -- daughter changed majors and has a degree in graphic design from Ohio U., my alma mater) was just cast as Elphaba in the next major national tour of Wicked. Another of her UNC and high school classmates is in Mama Mia on Broadway right now. He is the second of her high school friends to land a Broadway part.

Disney's Little Mermaid will open in Denver, and there is a local kid in a lead in that also. I think she may also be from UNC.

Then, son who is nearly done rehearsing for his six month cruise ship entertainment gig, called yesterday to say that one of his former classmates from Oklahoma University (and good friends -- two years older than him) was just cast as Lady Of The Lake in the first national tour of Spam-a-lot. He was called back three times for the show (don't know if it was for tour or NY -- they never made it clear), but wasn't cast. However, I think the same casting agency cast him on the cruise ship, so there's hope.

Hopefully.

Finally, Wicked will make its second Denver stop next month -- and I'll be out of town for the entire engagement. The good news is that I've seen it twice (NY & Denver), and that I'll be in New York for at least a couple of days while it's here.

Jersey Boys anyone? I hear that's the hot ticket right now, and that's what I'm thinking about seeing.

So apparently, 4 glasses of wine make me believe I can sing Christine, La Carlotta, AND the Phantom. My husband wanted to watch the movie last night. I think he regretted putting it in by the time I was done. I'm sure "Music of the Night" was especially entertaining. The best part was that the kids decided to join in too.

I'm still in the opinion that there were only two mistakes made in the movie version: Cutting the last verse of "The Phantom of the Opera" and the costume choices in "Masquerade". The gold, black, silver and white were elegant choices, but just didn't have the "flair" and color that the stage version has. Plus, it's missing the Monkey & Cymbals and the tradtional Red Skull costume for the Phantom when he shows up to deliver "Don Juan".

I'm also convinced that "Don Juan Triumphant" is the Phantom's version of "Don Giovanni" and "The Point of No Return" is the Phantom's verion of "La chi darem la mano".

It's a tough ticket in New York.

Unfortunately, my freelance directing job for GE was cancelled at the last minute, so I didn't go.
