Nope, didn’t even make the callbacks. There was a message waiting when I got home the day after stating that I did not make the show. It’s been a long time since I didn’t make a show. This is not what it sounds like- in recent history I have only tried out for Oliver! and …
Ironic that I just posted about the defunct new Wonder Woman series. After 33 performances (and 31 preview performances), Wonderland wrapped its Broadway run May 15th. The new musical about a grown up Alice who yearns for a more adventure-filled life, sets out on a quest beneath the streets of New York City. There she …
I was looking for a collection set to add to my movie library. A few years ago Universal studios released their “Monster Collection” as a boxed set (DVD or VHS). 8 movies in all. Since I had the ones I thought I wanted, I didn’t bother with the set. Now some of my old VHS …
I like a lot of movies. I have a lot of movies. So all is well with the world in that respect. I have been on a classic movie kick recently. Ok, more than just recently. Last year, just before Christmas, I borrowed the movie Nosferatu from a friend. Wonderful silent ‘Vampire’ movie. I think …

A good, well-known musical is much more expensive to produce than a play. However, it has been pointed out time and again that musicals are the …
Turn out the lights, sit in the dark and watch these movies. By today’s standards, they are not scary. By the standards of the time, people screamed in the theaters. Number 1 on my list, I’ve written about before. Dracula with Bela Lugosi, the first well know Dracula, and one imitated more often than any …
What music they make… In keeping with the Halloween season, I thought that line was appropriate. Bela Lugosi’s role as Dracula still is one for the ages. Today, that movie seems quaint and common, but in 1931 it terrified the audience. I’ve been told and read that the 1922 silent movie Nosferatu was even more …
To keep up with both blogs, allow me to post some more wonderfully hideous titles and synopses. OR…. lets make it even more fun. I will give a list of titles and synopses. See if you can guess which one contains the actual description. 1. Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me. …
