Last night was amazing, packed house,sold out show(2,000 people), crazed fans. Deb sounded amazing. Total rock show, down to the stalker who jumped on stage in the middle of "Hanging on the Telephone" while Garrett and I were slam dancing around her.Security knocked him to the ground and we just kept slam dancing around them.They said in all 10 years of doing this night no one has ever done that(jumped on stage)...the power of Debravation. I stayed out with the 2 cuties we met on the Graham...

honeys, sit back relax........ now we can watch this show unfold and none of us has to do another thing to push this titanic on its way. it's gonna get so ugly and mean spirited, and all we got to do is sit on the sidelines and watch these social conservative monkey minds fall over over each other in this moment of their public shame they know not. they gonna have us all verbally abused into jail, in hell and/or not allowed to enter by the front door anywhere before they are over themselves.

I first fell in love with the Met Opera years ago when I was fortunate enough to get orchestra tenth row seats to a french opera "Palias & Melisande" starring Frederica von Stade. I was devastated by its beauty and make it a point to go to the opera several times a season every since. The Met production of Aida is glorious indeed, and especially when Delores Vijick plays the Egyptian princess supporting role. This week I checked out an obscure opera called Rhodalinda that has not been...

Thanks for all your well wishes! I truly don't know if the show is completely sold out. I know the previews are. The "limited run" is through June with maybe an option for July. But who can say? We will just have to wait to see how the critics receive it on April 20th. You know, I think it's very good. It's very hard to have a view of the entire play when you are in it. But I have (finally) come to the realization that the show is major in a whole lot of ways. And I am not just speaking...

Why, thank you, kelly! Jim Dale is amazing to work with-- and the stories he tells! Just a note: one of the dances he does (after "The Song Of The Inadequacy Of Human Striving", when Carlos, me and Tiger Brown and his mugs on stage right glide off) is a version of a dance that Jim's father taught him and was, in turn, taught by his father. Jim worked with Aszure Barton to incorporate it into the song. So, what you are seeing is a dance that has roots in the 1830's-- or even earlier! A dance...

I didn't know where to post so I'm putting this is my own topic. I mean, what the hell is the point of having a topic if can't post in it. Anyay... I'm in Los Angeles sitting by the pool (of course) pretending to be a rock star. It's fun. (I was even wearing sunglasses for about 2 minutes but they drive me crazy and I took them off). I'm here performing with my buds Pink Martini. We are doing 3 (sold out) nights at The Hollywood Bowl. I'm singing back up and pretty much acting like a retard...

...(Oh My!) Marie Claudette was an oddly popular character last night! Perhaps, Anne will one day be re-inspired by the female and indulge us with a longer tale on this formidable eighteenth-century fashion plate and explorer. [I choose her for her love of music and dance; esp. how the orchestra would silence her intuit-tormenter, demon and lover – Lasher of course. Although, I too am set in the road of building a legacy (of Art, that is)!] And it still amazes me the unbelievable costuming...

Cheers Guys, I too am curious about when you get this going as I am eager to be a supportive and involved scribe. Tonight I do have great orchestra tickets for Don Giovanni at the Met Opera House at 7:30 courtesy the filmmaker down the hall ... wait till you all meet him ... ;-) But next Monday my slate is clean and my chisel and hammer are ready.
