movin ' on up ! from original ensemble member to fiyero on the road , derrick williams now assumes wicked ' s romantic lead on broadway . off stage , wooing is reserved for wife , julia .
a . inexperienced men think there is something wonderful you can get from a woman that you never could get from a man . hence many unhappy marriages .
the most wonderful thing about this city is the people ,
she said .
we have a community that has always been very willing to help out in any situation . cuero is very giving and loving .
this wonderful ring , which every ninth night drops eight other rings as rich as itself , shall be yours ,
said skirner , holding draupner in his hand and gently urging her .
a . the marco polo man ! the milkman ! the postman ! the muffin man ! the marco polo man ! some frustrated poet , earning his crust by quoting scraps of verse to bring the call of the east to dreaming telephone girls .
madame d dies and leaves a priceless stolen renaissance painting (
boy with apple
) to fiennes , and that ' s when the real fun starts . her family accuses the concierge of murder ; he is imprisoned and then escapes , which leads to chases and such . fiennes never loses his smirking bravado as he barks orders to the youthful zero , something of the hero of the piece as he slowly sheds his shyness and assumes control of the situation while wooing the town ' s teen - age baker . the real friendship between the concierge and the boy is the crux of the movie . my huffington readers may recall my recent rave review of fiennes as the dynamic charles dickens in the invisible woman . here , he even exceeds that .

frey was too glad to get the desire of his heart to delay about giving up the horse and the sword , and skirner was soon mounted and riding like the wind on his dreary journey . night came on , the black shadows of the mountains lay across the fjords as he passed , and one by one the endless procession of the stars moved along the summits of the hills as if they would bear him company . all night the hard hoofs rang on the stony way , scattering showers of sparks at every step . faster and faster the daring rider drove the faithful horse until [ 60 ] his flight was like the flash and roar of the thunderbolt .
everybody knows george bernard shaw’s famous retort when isadora duncan suggested that – with her wonderful body and his great brain – they should have a child together : “yes , ” he replied , “but suppose it had my body and your brain . ”
she added that the residents of the town are ready to welcome filmmakers as well .
a . you mean that the steward is coming round with the soup at last .
a . the same thing . marriage is the village form of all these adventures .
skirner ' s voice rang clear and strong above the howling of the dogs , and gerd in her chamber heard the brave words .
sara post - meyer said .
it begins , of course , with our quintessential texas downtown historic district . there are wonderful buildings from the 1880s and 1890s . then , within 10 minutes you can get to beautiful countryside locations , ranches and farms , oil drilling sites and the guadalupe river . whatever you need to film you can do it here .
fox searchlight may have its work cut out for it to reach the sophisticated audience which will truly relish this filmic extravaganza , but coming off the success of their 12 years a slave , i am confident they can pull it off . i can only urge my huffington readers to rush pell - mell to a nearby theatre to have a truly wonderful cinematic experience .
z . thanks very much . shall i put the rest of the order into it ?
a . you need not point the information at me . i am not the criminal .
z . oh , well , perhaps you wouldnt think it very wonderful . but it was a regular treat for me . you may think because i am well dressed and travelling de lucks and all that , that i am an educated lady . but i ' m not .
a . within the last fortnight you have inspected the priceless antiquities of naples , athens , egypt , and the holy land . please occupy your mind with them until the soup comes .
z . oh , what a thing to say ! i never could bring myself to believe that . i know , of course , that men have their weaknesses and their tempers ; but all the same there is something wonderful you can get from a man that you never could get from a woman . dont you think so ?
a . i feel perfectly well , thank you . and i loathe deck games , especially deck quoits . the slapping of those silly things on the deck destroys the quiet of the ship .
a . operators dont dream . girls ! girls of the golden west . did that poor devil never bring you the call of the east ?
z . no ; but i used to sing a song called the honeysuckle and the bee .
i have an old friend who grew up in the years before world war ii living in the grand hotels of europe , where his father was a film salesman . he regaled me with tales of his adventures in these fashionable hostelries , with unlimited room service , obliging concierges and lots of raffish characters hanging around the lobbies . i was reminded of this when i watched the wonderful new film by director wes anderson , grand budapest hotel , which opened in los angeles this week . i have been a fan of this director for several years , so i was at the landmark theatre on the first night and intend to see the film again when it plays at the academy theatre .
the days that followed were long enough for frey ; but even the longest day comes to an end , and at last the ninth day came . never sun shone so brightly or south wind blew so musically as on the morning when at bar - isle , under the branches of the great trees , frey found the beautiful gerd waiting for his coming , far lovelier than when she stood before her father ' s door . and the whole earth was happy in them , for while they stood with clasped hands the skies grew soft , the trees put on [ 68 ] a tender green , the flowers blossomed along the mountain side , the ripening grain swayed in the fields , and summer lay warm and fragrant over the land .
a . if a woman snaps me up she must take the consequences . she must assist in the shop . and you will get the sack .
post - meyer said the city is also well versed in the unique needs of a film shoot .
z . oh , you shouldnt trouble the steward now . he ' s busy getting the soup .
the ministry is holding a sales mission event in hyderabad and new delhi , with special focus on promoting “wonderful indonesia” among the indian travel and trade community . in 2016 , the indonesian tourism ministry is targeting 350 , 000 indian tourists , an increase from last year’s 262 , 000 visitors . this seems achievable with the recent regulation allowing indian tourists the facility of visa - free entry in indonesia for 30 days . it is also with this agenda in mind that a special delegation will be part of the annual travel and trade exhibition , satte , being held on january 29 - 30 in new delhi this year .
z . i ' d read about it in novels and seen it on the films . they were all about moony drunkards and sheeks and the sort of girls that go dotty about them . i went right round the world to see the reality . pretty places , of course ; but the heat ! and the mosquitoes ! and the smells ! ! travelling just destroyed the world for me as i imagined it . give me this village all the time .
location scout marissa lovely recently worked in the area - and praised the city for its resources for filmmakers .
the steward appears with the soup and offers it to z who seizes it eagerly ; then to a .
a warrior stands without the [ 62 ] wall ,
she answered ;
and while he waits , his horse eats the grass before the gates .
z . thanks very much . [ she comes out through the counter to get them from the sack ] .
z . the string bag sixpence , chocolates a shilling : one and sixpence . the ginger beer is - -
a . [ rising and waving the balance sheet proudly as he comes through the counter into the public part of the shop ] this is not an accountant ' s balance sheet . it is a robinson crusoe balance sheet .
as a film producer , i have always been intrigued by the 44 - year - old texan ' s systematic way of working , storyboarding the whole film through animatics , gathering the cast in one location to have culinary feasts and keeping the camaraderie going . i have read that he shot the film over 10 weeks in berlin and the small town of gorlitz , germany , on the polish border , and he hired a cook to prepare feasts for the cast and crew assembled in one hotel there . they used an abandoned department store as the interior set for the film .
director of the cuero chamber of commerce sherry esse explained that the city offers a number of amenities for film productions .
when asked why the city is so accommodating to filming , mayor post - meyer said the people wanted to share the home they are so proud of for one simple reason .
z . thanks very much [ she goes back through the counter to cut and weigh the butter and cheese ] .
the wicked day has come to say goodbye to
green
girl shoshanna bean and say hello to eden espinosa , who was the original standby for the part and is getting ready to take over the role . cast members bean , rue mcclanahan , david ayers and original cast member michelle federer took their final bows at the gershwin theatre on january 8 . after the performance , the company headed to the grand hyatt manhattan skylounge for some hugs , laughs and smiles . carol kane , derrick williams and cristy candler were warmly welcomed to the cast . take a look at all the fun the wicked folks ( old and new ) had together !
a . now that you mention it i believe that is true . you were one of the amenities of the estate .
at last the long journey was over and the gloomy house reached . it was the home of the frost - giant gymer , and the beautiful maiden who stood at the door when frey was on odin ' s throne was gerd , the giant ' s daughter . fierce dogs were chained about the gate and rushed savagely upon skirner , barking furiously as if they would tear him limb from limb . so he turned aside and rode up to a shepherd sitting on a mound near by .
z . the americans dont know the difference : they think my telephone talk is aristocratic ; and the english wont speak to anyone anyhow . and lots of them are just like me .
she credited the locals and city staff for her success .
how the officials in a town respond sets the vibe for how everyone else reacts ,
she said .
and the officials in cuero couldn ' t have been more helpful .
post - meyer knows that film productions often need all the help they can get - and the town is happy to assist .
what noise is that ?
she called to her maidens .
the very earth shakes and the foundations tremble .
bid him enter at once and quaff the pleasant mead , for i fear the slayer of my brother has come .

a . no : it most certainly is not a bargain . when i entered this shop half an hour ago i had not the faintest notion of buying a village shop or marrying a village maiden or any of the things you have put into my head . have you ever read the fable of the spider and the fly ?
z . the steward will be round with the soup in half an hour . i thought we should have to wait an hour .
z . sorry . theres a leaflet in the church , written by the vicar . you are expected to put tuppence in the box for it . excuse me ; but the chocolates are tuppence , sixpence , and a shilling . which size would you run to ?
a . take care . you may find what you are trying to do easier than you think . about five per cent of the human race consists of positive masterful acquisitive people like you , obsessed with some passion which they must gratify at all hazards . the rest let them have their own way because they have neither the strength nor the courage to resist , or because the things the masterful ones want seem trifling beside the starry heavens and the destiny of man . i am not one of the masterful ones . i am not worth marrying . any woman could marry me if she took trouble enough .

z . i used to read travels and guide books . we used to stock the marco polo series . i was mad about travelling . i had daydreams about the glory that was greece , the grandeur that was rome , and all that flapdoodle .
skirner needed no second invitation , and , quickly springing to the ground , walked through the stony halls and stood before the beautiful gerd . she looked keenly at him for a moment and knew from his brightness and beauty that he was from asgard .
z . not they . i won the first prize in a newspaper competition . my mother wanted me to save it : she said it would help me to get a thrifty husband . my father told me to blue it all in a lump while i had the chance .
you will be poor all your life ,
he said ;
but now you have the chance of living at the rate of five thousand a year for four months . dont miss it ,
he said :
see what it ' s like . have your fling
he said ;
for they never can take that away from you once youve had it .
his idea was a walking tour , spending the nights in the best hotels ; but i chose the ship because it ' s more dressy and more people to look at . besides , i can get all the walking i want round the deck . at the end of the cruise back i go to the village shop without a penny .
life in cuero is the way life ought to be ,
she said .

a . oh , no harm . quite the contrary . but i feel rushed .
a . [ resolutely ] good morning . [ he makes for the door ] .
z . [ following him with the string bag ] you are forgetting your things .
a . no , to the credit of village shopkeeping as a way of life .
a . [ gravely ] as a matter of fact , she did . i am one of those unlucky men who draw the black chances in the lottery of marriage .
the sun shines every day , but not for me ,
answered frey .
z . it is while the novelty lasts . you see , when youre at home you get tired of doing the same thing every day : the same places ! the same faces ! the same old round . when you get a holiday you go off in a crowded hot excursion train to the seaside and make yourself tired and miserable just because it ' s a change ; and youd do anything for a change . but here it ' s change all the time until you begin to realize what it is to have a settled home and belong somewhere . i shant be sorry to get home to the shop and the telephone . i get such a dreadful lost dog feeling sometimes . other times it seems such a foolish waste of money . and i hate wasting money .
future learning and skills – giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .
a . certainly not . i should have the trouble of opening and shutting it , and the worry of wondering whether it would open or shut , with no compensatory advantage whatever .
z . but if the money goes as fast as it comes you cant save anything .
a . you are inexperienced . you dont know . you are the dupe of thoughtless words like sensuality , sensuousness , and all the rest of the twaddle of the materialists . i am not a materialist : i am a poet ; and i know that to be in your arms will not gratify my senses at all . as a matter of mere physical sensation you will find the bodily contacts to which you are looking forward neither convenient nor decorous .
z . a guide , you mean . theyd take the poetry out of anything ; and all the time youre thinking what you ought to give them . if you fancy empires ' dusts and all that sort of thing you should meet our vicar and start him talking about our standing stones , and the barrows on the downs , and the mound . every grain of our dust , he says , is full of history . same everywhere , i expect .
z . no . all the money i ever had i blued on a trip round the world . but mrs ward is getting too old for the business : she couldnt run it now without me . if you could afford to buy her an annuity she ' d sell it .
a . the clocks were put on half an hour last night . we are going east .
a . i am not here to be made out . you are not here to make people out , but to revel in the enjoyments you have paid for . deck tennis , deck quoits , shuffleboard , golf , squash rackets , the swimming pool , the gymnasium all invite you .
a . when the book is published you can read it to your heart ' s content .
z . same with the women , isnt it ? if you were a woman youd know .
a . i want him to remove my chair to the very furthest extremity of this ship .
z . i cant believe that about the learning . but see how your manners have improved !
z . well , there you are , you see ! the moment i set eyes on you i said to myself ,
now thats the sort of man that would suit me as a husband .
i ' d have said it even if you hadnt been the marco polo man .
z . well , no matter where you are you are doing the same thing all day and every day , arnt you ? the only way to get it off your mind is to live in the same place and stick at the same job . then you never have to think about it . thats the way the people live here ; and they live for ever so long : eighty ' s no age here . grandfather will be a hundred and two in august . thats because he ' s never had to worry about what he ' ll do or where he ' ll go . he just imagines and imagines . it ' s the only way to be happy and longlived .
according to a recent survey by a travel portal , indians are expected to spend more on travel in 2016 . this upswing is triggered by the trend that more and more indians are now looking at international trips over a domestic destination , shows the yatra . com survey . this is probably why the ministry of tourism of indonesia is taking steps to aggressively promote their country in the indian market .
z . well , i am past the age at which girls marry here , though i ' m the pick of this village . thats because i thought all my offers over . so i have made up my mind to take the next man that asks me , provided he ' s reasonably suitable .
z . not me , thank you . all i want is a husband and the usual consequences .

as ever with shaw , arguments on the politics of marriage can be propounded at bludgeoning length and gaynor’s character rarely gets to be anything other than irascible , but the production keeps buoyant with wit and sensitivity .

z . i always think it adds to the interest of a voyage having to put on your watch .
a . [ presenting a treasury note ] cease preaching . take it ; and give me the change .
a . yes you do . our best seller here is old moore ' s almanack ; and next to it comes napoleon ' s book of fate . old mrs ward would never have sold the shop to me if she had not become persuaded that the day of judgment is fixed for the seventh of august next .
returning to the themes of pygmalion , shaw again satirises the flimsy constructs of class divisions , where grimes , a village shop assistant and telephone operator , uses her mannered voice to move undetected among upper - class passengers .
a . thats strange . as she was never out and he was never in , the household should have been a quiet one ; but that remark of his about men and women driving oneanother mad rather suggests the opposite .
we are certified as a film - friendly community through the texas film commission ,
she said .
we have ordinances in place to make it very clear as to what our expectations are and what the city will help with . we also have many people within the city who have been trained to be film - ready .
z . oh , that wouldnt suit you at all . she ' d want to spend it going into society and travelling about . how could you bear that sort of life ? you that never spoke to anyone on the ship and wouldnt take any part in their games and dances ! when it got about that you were the marco polo man - - the man of all our dreams as you might say - - i made a bet that i ' d get you to talk to me ; and i had all the trouble in the world to win it .

z . let me see . eighteenpence , and fourpence for the ginger beer is one and tenpence , isnt it ?
a . well , am i not making a living ? i am no poorer than when i bought the shop .
a . you must always let yourself think about everything . and you must think about everything as it is , not as it is talked about . your secondhand gabble about gratifying my senses is only your virgin innocence . we shall get quite away from the world of sense . we shall light up for oneanother a lamp in the holy of holies in the temple of life ; and the lamp will make its veil transparent . aimless lumps of stone blundering through space will become stars singing in their spheres . our dull purposeless village existence will become one irresistible purpose and nothing else . an extraordinary delight and an intense love will seize us . it will last hardly longer than the lightning flash which turns the black night into infinite radiance . it will be dark again before you can clear the light out of your eyes ; but you will have seen ; and for ever after you will think about what you have seen and not gabble catchwords invented by the wasted virgins that walk in darkness . it is to give ourselves this magic moment that we feel that we must and shall hold oneanother in our arms ; and when the moment comes , the world of the senses will vanish ; and for us there will be nothing ridiculous , nothing uncomfortable , nothing unclean , nothing but pure paradise .
z . [ sympathetically ] it is annoying to have somebody talking to you all the time when you dont want to . but it ' s just as bad when you want to talk , and the other person wont , isnt it ?
hbo ? has revealed season 2 of praised porn industry drama series ? the deuce ? will premiere september 9 . . .
z . oh , i see . that is why you select this end of the deck . i often wondered why .
z . oh , thats the first time youve asked me a question . we ' re getting on , arnt we ?
a . never mind : i know you didnt mean it . by the way , i made an inconsiderate remark which hurt you . i did not intend that . i should have told you seriously that i pay you ten pounds more than the market rate because i value your services in the shop , and wish to offer you every inducement to stay here permanently .
skirner ' s face suddenly changed . he drew out a magic wand , and with eyes fixed upon her and in a solemn voice , as he waved it over her , he chanted an awful mystic curse . there was breathless silence in the room while skirner with slow movements of the wand wove about gerd dread enchantments and breathed over her the direful incantation : —
z . oh , you neednt do that . the accountant ' s clerk from salisbury does all that when he makes out the income tax return . youre not expected to do figures in this village . fancy old mrs ward doing such a thing !

working alone on the deck of a pleasure ship , a crotchety travel writer , known in the text as a , is approached by an effusive and attractive young woman known as z , whose attentions , of course , he finds a complete nuisance .
z . [ sympathetically ] yes : it is awful to have to talk to people , isnt it ? oh , that reminds me : i have something really interesting to tell you . i believe the man in the cabin next mine beats his wife .

z . thats too clever for me . anyhow , you neednt worry over a balance sheet . the accountant will do all that for you .

the book starts with a prologue giving a glimpse of the past related with the story . as the book starts , it quickly jumps into a series of murders that accompany a message in an ancient ( read extinct ) language and a chess board’s piece . the murders then no longer stay associated with the police force itself , but is undertaken by claw , an agency appointed to safeguard the prime minister of the nation – as a piece of chess is found in her car’s back . that’s where dinesh , surya come into the picture .
meanwhile the world at present is filled with many thrillers and in need to catch a readers eye all thrillers need to do something that really impresses upon the thinking of the reader . with a plot involving serial killers , one hoped that the author will try to make these killings the eye catching point and yet most of the killings were pretty lame and felt unimaginative .
melco , however , expects to be in a position in november to submit all the necessary documents to secure a town planning license for the casino resort , while at the same time they expect the foundation stone to be laid in early 2018 .
disclaimer : i had received a copy of this book courtesy the author , for an honest review . so , that’s what i’m going to write . four thousand years ago , a terrible crime had been committed . the crown prince of the kingdom of ‘chaturanga’ had been treacherously killed during the war against the arch enemy : the kingdom of ‘sarprakt’ . to avenge him , his father , i . e . king viratha does something even more heinous . but what was the role of the omniscient seer vyaapi in all these ? can he stop the king ? ca
the ceremony ended with the classic fireworks that are always as powerful , how many times you have seen it . even though the matches started already at 08 . 00 on monday morning , it is necessary to open the gothia cup to get started .
one of the biggest plus for me was depiction of the two 4000 years old kingdom that have a major role in the story of the book , these lands were crafted beautiful but sadly not explored enough , leaving the fantasy lover in me pretty disappointing , but then again for a book as thin as this one the amount of world building that was done was also acceptable .
there was always a risk . but there was much more to win , because when the then president ( sepp blatter ) described india as a sleeping giant , it was true . the idea was to grow football in the country , and to take it back to the golden ages of the 50s and 60s . it was a logical continuation of all programs we had done with the aiff , like the win in india with india and goal projects . it really is a long - term plan , all development programs heading into the world cup . after that , we’re hoping the legacy will help make the country’s football great again .
india doesn’t exactly have the best of records with regards to hosting major tournaments . was there risk involved when fifa awarded the event ?

do you like chess ? do you like history ? if your answer is yes , even to one of this , do not miss to read ths book . the book is set in two different time period - one that of epic age and one that of present day . how a king gets betrayed when there was a cold war between chaturanga and sarprakt and what happens in the present day is the actual story but the way , the characters had evolved makes this a compulsory fiction thriller to read . i loved the interconnect between the two periods involving lot of characters and though i felt bit bred in the initial stage , as soon as i got to know about the great plot being formed , i could not stop reading all the 35 characters in one stretch . there was love . there was deceit . there was revenge . there was redemption . one could find everything in this novel . the story begins with brutal murders from across the country and the killer leaves a hint with a chess piece along with some strange message . how it gets decoded and what leads to the killer is the story line which the author has handled it with perfection and just before one could come to a conclusion that this is the end , the story begins from there . yes . there is part 2 to this story and having read the first part , i could not stop waiting for the second pat to arrive . . . . .

if you head over to the book details at goodreads , your eyes will be graced with the presence of one of the most scathing reviews of the book where a particular reviewer details the many grammatical errors in the book that pushed her grammar nazi self into an enraged state . personally however i failed to notice many grammatical errors or typos and for me at least those that i found were very few and didn’t bothered me much . *
turns out i had a slew of arcs to finish . so , here goes nothing . interesting premise , horrible execution . this was a tiny book , but the grammar is so appalling , i cried myself to sleep . author has zero knowledge of past perfect tense , and my delicate grammar nazi brain cannot handle it . arcs have become a platform for me to make psas , apparently , so prospective authors , listen , if you have an idea for a book and you think it ' s a good one , let me write it for you - i ' ll get the tenses right , the v
an apt cover , a chess piece , an old paper burning and the blood in letters actually it interlinked you ' ll realize once you completed the novel . author sandeep sharma has chosen historical thriller , the story revolves in two timelines past and present , from the serial killings to mysterious curse behind murders . the chess piece and strange message is a clue to find that chess killer when the p . m received it too , the case handover to claw security personnel ' s of prime minister . they find that all

it’s just in this moment that the winning bowls are laid aside and players , coaches , teams and spectators may enjoy feeling a community that only the gothia cup opening ceremony can create . the evening began with a fierce flag number that put the stamp on the whole opening ceremony . all 80 nations , 1 , 728 teams and about 50 , 000 spectators united and gathered .
and although the mystery was revealed in a pretty predictable manner for me , i did read many reviews that stated that they were taken by surprise at the finale reveal . so although i don’t personally feel that the mystery was unpredictable , there are enough audience of the book who will contest that statement .

if the u - 17 wc goes well , will fifa consider giving india more tournaments ? that is a possibility . it’s not only the fact that they do the world cup well . it’s the learning process , and the development that should come together in years to come . as india becomes a bigger nation in asian and world football , i’m sure there would be opportunities to host other events .
those kills that were unique were either pretty far - fetched to believe and on one scenario absolutely rubbish . by some sad misfortune it ' s another book in a succession of book that sadly i find to have had a lack of research the author tried to use puffer fish skin to cause an instant death by touching , the problem , puffer fish poisoning is lethal to human when ingested and not when it’s simply touched upon and even on the event of the poisoning there’s actually a time span 10 - 45 minutes before symptoms actually start appearing and then a span of 4 - 6 hours when the patient can be given medical attention and be saved . * and yet in the book the death occured in seconds of the victim touching the foul material .
if you missed it , you can catch up on this recording of the event .

though i do not love reading mythological or historical books , but i somehow picked this one as an author must try reading all genres . i am glad it was a good pick as it grew my interest in such books . no doubt , author has done remarkable job in choosing characters , plotting the sequence , and exploring his creative mind . i loved the characters of vyapi and surya the most . i loved the twists throughout the book . there is a lot to write in review , but readers have already mentioned all the things
this is one of the most complex story i ever read . to be honest , when i started reading this book , i did not think that the story will end such way . really well written and organized though first half was a bit sluggish . for casual readers - yes , this is the book you should read . easy to understand language . well built cover . easy to understand character developments . best part of its that the moment you think you are finally understanding whats happening there . the whole idea changes in the ne
