Each file is its own act (kind of). It’s a direct rip from the PBS Great Performance DVD (complete dialogue and orchestrations; including the station announcements- but NO pledge breaks!!). Every word and note that you remember is there. Enjoy!

I thought you might be interested to know that Scott Eckern, Artsitic Director of California Music Theatre (Sacramento Music Circus) contributed $1000 in support of California’s divisive Proposition 8, which eliminates (not just bans) the right for same-sex couples to marry and receive all of the emotional, economic, and social benefits that married couples often take for granted. Mr. Eckern’s affiliation with CMT, as well as his title and the amount donated to legislate the lives of others, is public information that can be found at: http://antigayblacklist.com
Marc Shaiman, composer (most notably of “Hairspray”, which was produced at CMT last year) has already contacted Sacramento’s CMT and expressed his disgust with the idea that a theatrical organization, employing and making money from gay artists and audience members, harbors an executive who uses a portion of his income to publicly support hate legislation (my term). I believe Mr. Shaiman may have told them they would no longer be allowed to produce his work, and has contacted the creators of “Avenue Q” (to be produced in March of ‘09) to enlighten them.
I am deeply troubled by the news about Scott, as I have worked for and known him since 1993. I find his behavior hypocritical at best and, more likely, distressingly prejudiced. Many of you friends who, like myself, have worked for Scott might be floored to know this news. I think at this point I shall do my best to “out” him and any others like him. Folks who show (and make money) playing one game, but with an inner intolerance that denies everything our industry represents.
I have personally been in contact with Marc Shaiman to confirm all the information. In his words:
“Yes, it’s all true! Of course, there is nothing much I can do since they’ve already done HAIRSPRAY, but the AVE Q guys (at least one of them) may do something, perhaps picket his own show! But, as I hope people realize, it is not really up to a writer to cancel a production that has already been licensed.
What I could do I did, which was to call Mr. Eckern directly and say what I had to say.
Reading this past week how people still actually think being gay is a choice (the only choice we make is not to lie about who we are) and that that one line from a beautiful book proves we are sinners (a book that also allows for the stoning of wives and of people who wear two different kinds of fabric at the same time), well, I am starting to feel that the only way to make people change is, I think, to now greet every person I meet and say “Hi, I’m Marc, God made me gay and I think that that He and I are both fabulous!” and leave the rest up to them.”
Sacramento Music Circus holds a cherished place in my heart, primarily because of Leland Ball and the inspirational talents he would gather for his productions. I feel the spirit of Leland is lost under Scott’s leadership. As a private citizen I choose not to support California Music Theatre while it operates under Mr. Eckern’s tenure.
I support Marc Shaiman in his boycott of CMT, and hope others will follow — as ticket-buyers, writers, musical directors, crew, designers and performers and more.
I feel compelled to write because I have heard from so many beloved friends the last few days. People who are in every way caring and generous citizens. Friends who are for the most part very quiet on the political front, who have had to awaken because of last Tuesday, due to their shock that their lifestyles are not “accepted” by so-called friends!! The irony of electing Obama and Prop 8 passing astounds me.
I am not ordinarily a political fighter, but I do believe in information for all, and let them decide. And more than anything I believe in “holding the space” for what is right.
In support of my gay and lesbian friends I find it a travesty that the entire arts community is not standing in solidarity for equal rights. Shame on Scott.
That our industry should be the first to raise money and awareness for AIDS to the result of awakening a country and world to the issue … well then, marriage (and every other sort of) equality is a no-brainer … and a duty and obligation.
I hope with this email to find others to “hold the space” with me …. full equality in marriage rights. If you should feel compelled to pass the information about Scott Eckern on to others …. by all means do.
Ok, it's Halloween time and time to promote one of my FAVORITE horror movie franchises!

Let's make a wish, and may all our wishes come true....
...A snowy, blowy christmas, a mistletoey christmas
A turkey lurkey christmas to you...A turkey lurkey christmas to you
It's goosey-poosey time
She was a gadabout, but she's back again
It's goosey-poosey time
Her time is running out, and we all know when
Let us make a wish, and may all our wishes come true....
A snowy, blowy christmas, a mistletoey christmas
A goosey-poosey christmas to you...
A goosey-poosey christmas to you!
Turkey lurkey, goosey-poosey
Some for Uncle Joe,
Some for Cousin Lucy
Everybody gather round the table
Dig in, dinner's being served
Eat all the turkey you are able
If you see a partridge in a pear tree
Climb up and bring it down for me
That's something i would like to see
(dance break)
A snowy, blowy christmas, a mistletoey christmas
A turkey lurkey christmas to you...
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells...
ok ok... much like Seth Rudetsky, I am OBSESSED with this song! I listen to it at least 2 times in my car on the way to work every morning. It just makes me SOOOO happy!
Thank you, to my pal, Peter O., who introduced me to this song and album back in 1999 (LONG before, the movie "Camp"). Thank you to Ryan K. for getting me the original cast CD for Christmas that year!
The Burt Bacharach score is pure fun and yielded some classic standards such as "I'll Never Fall in Love Again", "Knowing When to Leave" and the title song, "Promises, Promises".
And now a few samplings of the on-line findings of this gem!
