After all, we have Beach Blanket Babylon--the best musical of all time anywhere.<br /><br />I finally saw Mamma Mia and loved it.

Talk about an expectations porblem--I know some people have a very difficult time, and it's certainly, um, life-changing.<br /><br />But I don't feel any different now than before. SO--you're so healthy!<br />It'll be fine.<br /><br />AS for Spamalot. I--um, sorry, didn't think it was very funny. (I thought the program was hysterical, though. Did you have program that was fake?)<br /><br /> But if Richard Chamberlain had been in it, I wouldn't have cared.

Terry, I thi...Ramona,<br />Would love to see Spamalot. <br /><br />Terry, I think my problem with MTM, was that I kept thinking I'd seen or heard some of it before. I kept thinking.....ANOTHER reprise on hot flashes? Maybe its because I've recently read Paula' Munier'ss Hot Flash Haiku poetry book..or maybe, just maybe I'm really, really scared of Menopause...<br /><br />~janJungle Red Writershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646429819267618412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-66897556046392624482010-06-21T12:50:26.237-04:002010-06-21T12:50:26.237-04:00I think capers last forever...sort of like Richard...I think capers last forever...sort of like Richard Chamberlain.Rosemary Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033747422699443024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-59364175809356778302010-06-21T11:06:53.469-04:002010-06-21T11:06:53.469-04:00I had no expectations for MTM; went with my mother...I had no expectations for MTM; went with my mother and a friend of hers (actually, she'd bought the 3rd ticket for my dad, but I suggested he'd rather go watch a basketball game with the friend's husband.)<br /><br />Loved it. Laughed until I cried, bought the CD so I could hear the lyrics more clearly. Went with my crit group a few months later. Just as good, even with my now high expectations.<br /><br />Didn't like Girl with Dragon Tattoo much at all.

Two minutes before the show began, I had a little panic attack: What if he was awful and my since-childhood crush on Dr. Kildare would be ruined? <br /><br />Luckily, he was FAB. Such a good sport. I still get a thrill thinking about it.Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627775403015684868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-53891650525589694332010-06-21T10:29:50.125-04:002010-06-21T10:29:50.125-04:00I'm listening to Girl with the Dragon Tatoo no...I'm listening to Girl with the Dragon Tatoo now and I've heard the movie is awesome, but don't want to see it until i'm done.<br /><br />It's long, so I think I will have walked about fifty miles by then....Jungle Red Writershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646429819267618412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-50589234971696551972010-06-21T10:11:10.190-04:002010-06-21T10:11:10.190-04:00Yes, Mamma Mia!

...Yes, Mamma Mia! LOVED it. Jonathan was baffled. <br /><br />Capers. Yes. (How long do they keep in the fridge, by the way?)<br /><br />Just saw Girl wth the Dragon Tattoo--which I am the only person who hasn't read but I am trying to avoid mysteries right now..and I loved it! Everyone told us it was terrific, so I had the expectations situation--but yup, there it was. Terrific.<br /><br />And he must have read Prime Time, because he used a plot twist that I used in PT. NO problem, Steig, wherever you are! (or if great minds think alike, well, isn't that nice!)Hank Phillippi Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420701704169428286noreply@blogger.com
