	While in high school, I had the opportunity to speak with a former 
exchange student from Norway who went to my school.  He had worked in the 
Norwegian part of World Showcase.  A friend of his who is originally from the 
Netherlands also worked in the Norwegian part.  However, the friend had to
become a Norwegian citizen to work at that part of World Showcase.  Friend
wasn't too excited about Norway's mandatory military service, though  8-)

  FYI.
  For those interested in Lea Salonga (and not into Broadway), 
  she really became famous starring in the Broadway and London show 
  Miss Saigon.  I believe she was nominated for a Tony award, though I 
  can't remember if she won.

  She and Saigon co-star Jonathan Pryce were at the center of
  a major blow up between the producer of Miss Saigon and the
  American stage actor's union Equity when the show was being
  brought to Broadway. Equity wanted them to cast American
  actors of Asian descent (Pryce is English and not Asian) and 
  the producer insisted that he couldn't find anyone of the 
  equivalent talent here.  They came to some agreement and Equity 
  let them use the London stars.

  (I think the producer threatened not to open the show in the US.)

Subject: Richard White on King and I?
Date: 19 Dec 92 06:07:23 GMT
Organization: Lehigh University


Okay, so I've read that Richard White is on an album with Yul Brennar singing
King and I....

I'm assuming we're NOT talking about the MOVIE version, 'cuz I have that and
he's not on it.  I also have a "Broadway Gold" CD of King and I, but he's not
listed on it...

So my questiong is, what album IS he on?  Where/When was it recorded, what
label, available on CD, ect???  What part did he play?


ALSO - Brad Kane, the singing voice for Aladdin - what else has he been in?


Funny story:  1st time I saw Aladdin, the 1st sneak preview before the CD was
avaiable or the "Making of..." was on the Disney channel, as I was watching
the mvie I said to myself "Gee, that girl singing really sounds like the girl
on my Miss Saigon CD!" and I waited 'till the credits and whipped out my
notebook and wrote down the names of the voices for the characters.  I was
-QUITE- confused when the name "Linda Larkin" who does the VOICE for Jasmine
wasn't the same as the name on my Miss Saigon.  (I hadn't been able to
remember LEa Solonga's name at the time)  Then I ws even MORE confused when I
saw the "Making Of..." and they showed Lea Salonga...heh...

IT wasn't 'till the second time I saw it (the 2nd sneak preview...heh) that I
stayed 'till the VERY end of the credits and saw the song credits...and
figured it out.  I felt QUITE cheated that they used different voices for the
speaking & singing on the 2 main characters.  (well, 2 outta 3)

Ah well...BTW, 24 times and counting on Aladdin...anyone out there seen it
more than me?

Organization: Not an Organization

  As it appears my previous posts failed to make it past my local node,here we go again.

   The "Merriweathers Market" complex was originally a food court when I started on the Island (July 1990).It then closed and was used for banquets 
(hence the sign others have mentioned stating "closed for private function")
with a brief stint as "Merriweathers Moonlight Cafe" (the islands first jazz club incarnation) which was only open on Fridays and Saturdays.
   As regards the style(s) of music to be played at the new club,it is planned to be an eclectic mix of forms from the 1920's to today,with the EXCEPTION
of Dixieland.My info is that this is because there are already Dixieland venues on property (the Baton Rouge Lounge on the Empress Lillie and the lounge at Dixie Landings).
   The last theming concept I heard about was to base the club on an "abandoned" carrousel factory.The "40%" design and blueprints were supposed to have been submitted for approval over the last couple of weeks,but I have yet to here the results.
   As an aside,I join Doug Swallow in my "anticipitory grief" over the loss of the Cage.Somehow,the ambiance of a club with the name "8 Tracks" (one of the projected monickers) seems to leave a bit to be desired.Still,things change,and someday even "The Carrousel Of Progress" will vanish to be supplanted by something new (I shudder at the thought)...

I believe that I have stayed at the Quality Inn Main Gate West.  It's on 
highway 192 west of I-4, in a clump of built-up cheese in the middle of 
the boonies.  It's quite an adequate motel.

You shouldn't have any trouble getting to WDW quickly from this location.  
The major traffic on 192 is on the east side of I-4.  I have not yet seen 
a real traffic jam there, although there is quite a lot of traffic at 
times.  The International Drive area and I-4 between 192 and Tampa are the 
only places that you get real traffic jams.  The west side of I-4 is 
pretty much dead.

Dec 19-22 is on the transition between the really dead first part of 
December and the really crowded Christmas period.

I dunno...I think that might be yet another case of overstreching
imagination....  It's possible I guess but there's really not much to sure of
that that's really what they had in mind, y'know?

(Not like the Simpson's ep. where Sideshow Mel is prisoner #24601 - that's a
bit heavy for coincidence.)

As a number of people have said before (sorry you missed it), the problem

When a parking lot fills up, they divert traffic to another lot on property
and you use the bus or monorail transportation to get where you want to go.

If you have a ticket in your possession or an annual pass, they will let you
into one of the "closed" parking lots. Usually, they ask you to agree to
park in a grassy area, rather than a parking space, and they still direct
you to a location to park in. If you're on property, they probably encourage
you to use their transportation system anyway.

The very first weekend in June is the last weekend that Disney's Four Season
Salute passes are valid (they are sold to Florida residents only), and that
tends to mean that the parks get pretty busy on that weekend.

June 5, 1993 is also the date for the third annual Gay & Lesbian Day at The
Magic Kingdom.  Things tend to get real busy over there.

Enjoy the trip!
