^ What he said. I always enjoy reading through what you've .....uh ......been through, on all your tour TRs!

Something I've just noticed.... Our Broadway Across Canada" subscription for the 2024-25 season, includes four shows, and two add-ons, one of which I immediately bought tickets for...for two separate showings! But - looking at all of the tickets we've got, everybody now seems to be opening at a 7:30pm Curtain, although for years and years it's been the usual 8 o'clock openings. So, has the covid pandemic had anything to do with these new, somewhat earlier, curtain times? Just wondering.... What we're seeing, starting in January, actually. But this November.... One of the two add-ons we couldn't pass up on. And I also bought a second ticket for myself, for the Sunday aft. performance! But it, and all the other shows, are starting at 7;30 pm. So .....? Just curious, that's all.

Here's one for May...

^ I always thought the timing of those musicals was wierd, too. So many openings in such a small space of time, etc. All for the sake of being "under the wire" for TONY nominations. And whether it wins or loses TONYs, Lempicka has already posted a closing notice. The Good News is, they are releasing a Broadway Cast Album! Final performance on May 19th. More (probable) closings, to come.

^ Well, you certainly have a 'win' there, in the "Last Item Bought" thread, lol.

^ From the sounds of the Cast CD (one of the few I could get early enough), they all sound amazing in (the revival of) "Merrily, We Roll Along," Sondheim would be proud, I betcha.

Well, the 2023-24 TONY NOMINATIONS are in, announced this morning. And.... Wow. Quite the eye opener, with what and who is nominated for what, etc etc. And the snubs. Here's The Official TONY Site's link ..... https://www.tonyawards.com/ As for the musicals nominated for Best.... I have no idea how they sound (no Cast CDs released just yet, see above post). It will be an interesting broadcast. With Ariana DeBose Hosting! Again! Woo hoo! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But by the way.... After the noms came out, a bunch of negative crap was aimed online, at "Stereophonic", for "being a play with music." And not, they screamed, a MUSICAL, "as it should have been nominated." Yeah. And I have another play with music nobody blinked on - the "Lady Day at the Bar and Grill" play that brought Audra McDonald her sixth TONY award? They even released a cd of the show, with all the songs and the 'drama' included. Shouldn't that have been a ..... jukebox musical? But it wasn't. And I don't remember that much being shot at her show. So chill, people! It's Show Biz!!! And for you Theatre Trivia Nerds - 12 SHOWS opened in the last nine days for TONY eligibility which this month was April 25th. Sheeesh.

"it's big time dead" - great catch phrase.

^^ And is it continuously moving? That elevator system? Or if stopped, you then push a button, etc? (I do see a kind of control panel, there. But I thought I should still ask, etc.) Great tour of Helsinki! I should've tacked on a day or two extra, when I was last there with TPR.

Please explain, if you can? You bought - but not .... got? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P.S. I just blew $70 (cdn) on 'three rubber duckies' for the Vancouver Fire Fighters' DUCK RACE in May. Who knows if I win something or not? The $ goes to a good cause in the city.

"Celebration" (1980) Kool & The Gang I remember dancing in the clubs to this! And they've been nominated this year, for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

^ Iiiiiiiiiiii ....... like it!

There was a video posted a few days ago, of ThunderVOLT having a test run. Unfortunately, it only goes through one circuit.... I am hoping it does two runs. We'll see, eventually. Thanks to Playland(PNE) for the video.

^ LOL. And I myself, enjoy a good DY-NO-MITE Roll.

So sorry about this, Bert. I have no idea how it multiplied my posting. Grrr.
