Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!
Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas. Today is Wednesday, April 26. It’s going to be a cloudy, rainy day in Dallas. Strong / Severe thunderstorms later this afternoon, so I’ll be staying at home.
Happy Birthday to:
Carol Burnett - 90 years old (I actually got to meet her/work with her a few years ago ).
Good Morning, Possums and Happy Hump Day. We are prepping to hunker down later today for some rough weather today. It’s that time of year in tornado alley, but it seems the weather is jacked up all over the country. Everybody stay safe.
Last night, I saw Tootsie, the Musical, the Broadway touring production. Here is my review.
There are a few things a show has to do to make it a sure-fired winner FOR ME:
The Overture - Many of the older musicals like My Fair Lady, She Loves Me and Sweet Charity played and overture at the beginning of the show; for you youngsters that is sort of a ‘mash-up’ of the popular songs in the show. Not many shows do that any more and it’s a shame. So imagine my surprise when they played an overture (of sorts) at Tootsie. I began to have a little hope for this show.
2) One or more songs in the show has to move me/bring me to tears from either sadness, laughter or tears of joy. Out of the over 130 shows I have seen, this has only happened a few times:
The Book of Mormon - laughter
Avenue Q - Laughter
Dame Edna; The Royal Tour - laughter
The Phantom of the Opera - joy (because my friend from home was playing the lead female role (Christine))
My Fair Lady - joy
Come From Away - sadness/joy
Wicked - Sadness
An American in Paris - Joy
Fun Home - Sadness
Unfortunately, I felt nothing.
3) I have to leave the theater humming or singing and butchering the lyrics to one or more of the songs.
My friends I left talking about getting out of the theater and to car before the traffic got terrible.
4). There has to be life on the stage. Luckily, I found a few peaks in a show that is mostly valleys.
I feel for the actors in the show. I know they are all excited (ALL of them making their debut - I read the playbill looking for any Broadway credits - there were none). Given the material, they all had to work really hard to sell it. Sadly, I wasn’t’t buying it.
I give this show one possum out of five. Save your money and rent the movie.
Toot, toot, tootsie goodbye.
Toot, toot, tootsie don’t cry.
Several things on my calendar to do today - finish polishing up my resume, search for and apply for jobs, work on getting some insurance and get ready to hunker down this afternoon/evening.
Anyhoozle, what are your plans today?
Whatever, your day holds and whatever your plans may be, I wish you all a SPECTACULAR day. Do everything today with kindness in your heart. The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find one, be one!
To all of my fellow MS Warriors, keep fighting the good fight. And to all MS Warrior Supporters, Thank You! Your support means everything.
Peace, Love and Blessings to you all. -AJ
