| For those of you that have MoviePass, tonight’s screening of The King and I is available (at least in my area of upstate NY). I have been so disgruntled with MoviePass but this makes me feel a little better... | |

| I went and I loved the film. The London production wasn’t done on a thrust stage and at least the set designer got rid of obstructions that would block scenes from the audience. Kelli O’Hara has improved acting wise and her singing is gorgeous. My only problem is her Shall I Tell You What I Think of You? still lack oomph. When Marin Mazzie sang the song she was able to add some naughtiness to her delivery. Watanabe seems comfortable in the part and is very good though still at times hard to understand lyric wise—but not too much. Ruthie Ann Miles is fabulous. I was also impressed by Na-Young Jeon’s singing as Tuptim. |

| Good luck. Hope it's still there when you get to the theater. Moviepass movies have an uncanny way of being de=listed when you get close to the theater. | |

| It's a free "bonus" film, so I think chances are greater that it will be available. I so want to see this, but am teaching both nights it's screening. | |

| This may have been noticed already, but Shall We Dance(sung by Marni Nixon?) was used to accompany robots smashing each other and everything in sight. As Huck Finn might have said, it gives me the fantods; But the people who now own the rights to the R&H scores can rent the songs as they pleases. C'est la vie | |

| Nothing new. I remember that as a kid, "Oklahoma" was used in a commercial, though I can't remember for what. There was a hair color commercial that used the jingle "I'm gonna wash that gray right outta my hair." Volvo and Mastercard, among others, have used "My Favorite Things." But, those are fairly tame. How about Vanish toilet bowl cleaner using the jingle "I've got you under my rim" or a famous Sondheim opener becoming "Stove Top Tonight?" Or, Betty Crocker using "Bake Someone Happy?" (Yup, they're all real and on Youtube to boot...) |

| Have you seen GREEN BOOK yet? One of the trio's performances is of the song "Happy Talk" from SOUTH PACIFIC. It really is done well and adds to the atmosphere of the story telling. | |
