First off, you said nothing about Point of No Return to me.  You sent me
Masquerade in its place.  Second, Why should your opinions count more than 
anyone elses?  Third, I stated that I based in on a points basis since some
people actually did what I asked them to, send them in order.  Finally, if 
you noticed, which you must not have, Phantom of the Opera was on the list, 
as was Memory.  Don't complain to me if the songs you like the most aren't
the songs everyone else likes the most.

OK, but does that mean the melodies used aren't any good?  However, I have a    question...Seeing is Believing's melody isn't the same as journey of a lifetimes
now is it????
It's more like everybody loves a hero, if I'm correct.

The three major places in NYC that loan out parousal copies of scripts
of musicals are:

Music Theatre International
545 8th Ave 20th Fl.
NYC, NY 10018

Rodgers & Hammerstein
1633 Broadway Suite 3801
NYC, NY 10019

Tams-Witmark
560 Lexngton Ave.
NYC, NY 10126-0394

I doubt R&H has it (for obvious reasons) but if one of those three
doesn't have it, I'm sure they'd tell you who would.  Just ask them
for a parousal (sp?) copy and just be sure to send it back quickly or
they'll charge you an arm and a leg.

unless one wants the "T" to mean "the", I guess it's just a matter of

Congratulations Steve!  I played the role of an apostle in Raleigh
Little Theatre's production and found it a most uplifting experience.
The tunes are very catchy.  Our's was a present-day setting with
each apostle from a different walk of life, i.e. a postman, an
athlete, a carpenter--I was an artist.

 Unfortunately, no, it is not possible.  I think it is because the

This is my 2nd attempt to post this; my apologies to anyone who may
have seen it before...

>>How would one go about finding a business manager and/or tour manager for a

First, decide what skills and experience this person needs for your
particular group.  Is the job more administration or more theatre, for
example?

Once you've done this, you might have already answered your own
question: for certain kinds of companies, an ad in the local "help
wanted" section might be all you need.

If you need more specific experience and want to do a national search,
the first place I'd put an ad would be ArtSEARCH, published by the
Theatre Communications Group.  Call them at 212-697-5230 or FAX to

well, The CD's (both the British recording and the Broadway one) include the 
lyrics to all the songs. The B'way one is only a single CD (although it is in 
a doubble CD box) so it should cost around fifteen bucks, while the British
recording is a double CD running around thirty dollars. Both have lyrics to 
"Nobody's Side", and I don't believe that song was changed at all, except the
fact that they split it from "The American and Florence" on the B'way album.
  In addition, there is the Piano/Vocal book available. It is published by
Hal Leonard Publishing Company (and?) MCA Music. 8112 West Bluemound Rd. 
Milwaukee, WI 53213. A well-stocked music store should have this. BTW, it is
selections from the British recording. 
   Good luck!

Gee, I seem to remember posting this a while back.  At any rate, I
apologize to those who sent email asking for the address.  I've been
having lots of line noise problems and this was the week from hell.

At any rate, I have this small red booklet in front of me and it says
it's the Dress Circle Winter Catalogue 1992.  I don't know if they
come out quarterly or not, as this is the first catalogue they've ever
sent me.

Vitals are as follows:
10.00-19.00 hours Monday to Saturday inclusive
57/59 Monmouth Street, Upper St. Martin's Lane
London  WC2H 9DG

tel. 071-240-2227 and 071-836-8279
fax. 071-379-8540

(note that the country code for the UK is 44)

Shipping for 1 CD is pretty steep -- #5.  It gets relatively cheaper
as you buy more disks.  #7 for 2, #10.40 for 3.  (this is all to the
US & Canada)

I dunno if you can still get stuff in time for the holidays.  I guess
it's worth a shot, though.

I don't work for Dress Circle; I'm just a happy customer who got
surprised by some trans-Atlantic "junk" mail.

    Wait, is this the same production that was starring Donny Osmond earlier

Hi there.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to get turned back 
tickets the day of a Broadway show?

I need 2 or 3 tix to "A Christmas Carol" (I know I know--
good luck) for the 2 p.m. Dec. 19 matinee.

Any idea:
-When I'd need to show up at the theater?
-How long I'd have to stand around at the theater?
-How likely it is I'd be able to get the tix?

Thanks in advance.  Either posted or emailed responses 
will be appreciated.

Synchronicity strikes again!  Just this morning I read a
profile of Derek Walcott (by Jervis Anderson) in the current
(12/21) issue of The New Yorker.  It mentioned that Walcott
founded the Trinidad Theatre Workshop in 1959 or so, in the
basement of the Hotel Normandie in Port of Spain...

    "[he] assembled and trained a company of actors; and wrote
    and produced plays on the myths, rituals and superstitions
    of West Indian folk life.  When the most successful of
    these efforts, "The Dream on Monkey Mountain," was staged
    in New York, it won an Obie award as the best foreign play
    of 1971.  Edith Oliver, in this magazine, called it a
    'masterpiece.'"

I believe that it was written by Alan Ayckbourn, and is, as I remember

I might be wrong, but I think the new version was made for the
off-broadway revival last year (I think - it might have been 2 years
ago) that starred Kathleen Rowe McAllen.  The Paper Mill (from what I
read - it was the only production that I've seen) cut some (much?)
dialogue, and that supposedly made it better.

Broadway (at least the outcome of the chess game).  However, this is

I wass in a prooduction of Arsenic and Old Lace this year at my high 
school. It might be a little hard, though.
We cast some of the policemen or other minor characters as opposed 
genders (meaning we used girls for guy parts and vice versa) and there is 
little change in the lines. I was Officer O'Hara and I was also the Set 
Designer. Believe me, the set is no easy task. You have to have at least 
2 working doors, a working window that actors can crawl through, and a 
squeeky window seat. Never got the damn window seat to squeek, but I'm 
very proud of my first design... got a lot of complements on it, 
especially my wallpaper. If anyone has any questions about this play,
