1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest. [This was not MY instruction, it came with the taggy thing.]
6. Tag three people
I am so sure that it is Major Tucker that I don't even ask him until we are up above; and then I discover that it is Uncle Timothy, the yard switchman at Edenville, who is sent ahead to flag our understandings with the gossip that Judge Prendergast, the railroad's attorney, is in the process of mortgaging Colonel Rockingham's farming lands to make up ransom.
While he is talking, two men crawl from under the bushes into camp, and Caligula, with no white flag to disinter him from his plain duty, draws his gun. But again Colonel Rockingham intervenes and introduces Mr. Jones and Mr. Batts, engineer and fireman of train number forty-two.
While in fact the closest book was a David Grossman one (If any of you gets the chance to see "Someone to Run With," DO IT!!), it ws in Hebrew, so I settled with the O'Henry book on my desk. Yes, I am aware that I am a geek. Finding the name "Prendergast" makes me happy. Ah, Braxton...I tag

So yesterday was tech for the older students, meaning the younger students become sanjers and "do crew."
Only they weren't quite ready for crew. They were still wrapping their second-year heads around choreography.
So we pretty much sat there. I was the one who got to work most out of everyone, doing sound. Press play, fade, press stop. Press play, fade, press stop. They're having an evening of monologues/dialogues, and three musical numbers: "Facade" from Jekyll & Hyde, "Suddenly Seymour" and "No Business Like Show Business." For clarity's sake, the translation for "It's all a facade" is "It's all a play," so it works nicely.
I want to see if I can get into BZ's library one of these days, and borrow a copy of Sweeney Todd in Hebrew.
And while gazing at the "Graduates Wall," I found the Wizard. :)
Johnny Depp allegedly claimed that though he'd love to try Sweeney Todd (the movie), he's "not a singer."
toni_rey will probably start the silent treatment with me, but I don't think he should do it. I strongly feel that he shouldn't be given the part. Sweeney Todd can't sing? Sondheim called it an operetta, for Toby's sake! Sweeney must sing. I'm usually very open-minded about casting, and wait to see the movie before I judge. Yes, Depp is a gifted actor, but if he can't sing...no. Just no. Not to mention that the movie is usually many peoples' introduction to a musical.
DON'T YOU RUIN MY SWEENEY!!!!
I had a very interesting discussion with my mother yesterday. I forgot how it started, but it had something to do with some more Pajama Game woe. We started talking about how splashy shows sell, but innovative theatre rarely makes it big. It got around to the Sweeney revival, and I found myself explaining all sorts of symbolism things to her, and she just got it. She listened, and she had some revelations of her own. It was awesome.
This post turned out to be quite Sweeney-fied. I dedicate it to
meerkitty868. Cheer up, Honey. *HUGS*
ETA: I've been re-reading "Wicked" for character purposes, and I've realized I really want to read some Crope/Tibbett slash. I am pathetic.
