Be Bold & Turn To God (Be Bold Series)Psalm 138:7-8 “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand, you save me. The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever—do not abandon the works of your hands.When I read this passage, I got the picture of a football player holding the ball in his right hand, with his body turned away from the opposing player and his other hand out to block.  However, instead of being a football player, it is God.  He has His right arm around me, shielding me from danger, and His left hand out to shield me from the anger of my enemies.  To me, this is a beautiful image.  I am so thankful that I know that God is out there protecting me.  I have heard some incredible stories of this protection.  I think that sometimes we can think that God can protect us from things by helping us avoid them or making sure we are in the right place at the right time.  And He does do this.  However, He can also protect you from danger at the moment as well.  The verse above starts with the statement, “You preserve my life.”  I would like to tell you a story that is an excellent example of this.  The story is from the book “How To Live Like A King's Kid."  by Harold Hill.  If you have not read this book, I can't recommend it enough.  It is so good and will definitely boost your faith. Here is a short excerpt of how God can save you from real physical danger at the moment.  “Recently, I was driving down a divided highway to a meeting. The dividing strip was maybe 20 feet wide. Suddenly, a car coming from the other direction, going about 70, the same speed I was traveling, started to cross the strip. It was headed straight for me. A 140 mph impact was in the making, with me in the middle.  Mincemeat.I was glad I didn't have to wait to get into the high gear of praise and Thanksgiving because I wouldn't have had time. It all happened so fast. Walking in the light has to do with all circuits being tuned up by praise and Thanksgiving all the time – in everything, giving thanks for everything. I have been walking in the light all day. So I thanked God and prayed in the spirit for the people in the other car all in the same breath, realizing it could be my last one. But I was singing the songs of Zion, knowing that King's kids don't have to graduate on Satan's terms.The car hurtling at me was less than 20 yards away when suddenly it shot straight up in the air and turned upside down. It was a convertible, the top was down, and people flew in all directions. Then, the car crashed flat right alongside me."Lord, do you want me to stop?" I asked him then. “No. Don't stop. You intercede,” was is the message I got. In my rearview mirror, I could see other cars and trucks stopping. They wouldn't need my physical presence there, but God needed me to be an intercessor.  And so I kept on praying, praising God, praying in tongues. I was aware of raw power, rivers of living water, flowing from my innermost being directly to the throne of grace as I interceded in the spirit.Before I was half a mile down the road, I had God's assurance that he had taken care of everything, and I went to my meeting satisfied. That was Friday. On Sunday morning, I was invited to speak at the Kent Island Methodist church near where the accident occurred. I shared my experience from the pulpit and said that if anyone present knew the outcome of the accident, I'd like to hear about it. I knew something good had taken place. Sure enough, three people came to me at the church door after the service and said they were at the scene just a few minutes after the accident happened because they lived close by. The car had blown a tire, going at high speed, and had gotten completely out of control. The people in the convertible had fallen clear of the car, and everyone had walked away from the accident! The car was demolished, but no person was injured. It was a miracle.A car coming straight at you on a level Road does not suddenly jump straight up in the air. From straight forward motion to vertical motion is impossible unless you hit something curved to change the course. And that's what happened in that accident. The car's course was changed when it hit a curved surface – the curved circle of light that prevented darkness from entering to annihilate a king's kid.  There were millions of foot-pounds of energy involved, but that's nothing for an angel of the Lord. Hallelujah! When we call upon the king, he works supernaturally to deliver us from trouble.”I always get emotional when I hear stories like this because I am reminded of how much God loves us and that He will go to any lengths to save us.  I also get emotional because of how touching it is.  These people all seemed to be headed for death.  Their lives could have been over in an instant.  And they weren't.  Satan meant for that tire to go out and for the situation to end badly.  If Satan had gotten his way, those people would have died.  You and I don't know the state of their souls, but even if they went to heaven, what about the effects of their deaths on those still living?  Unexpected death of a loved one often brings with it anger.  It can cause some to question God and why He would let such an awful thing happen.  Some people get angry with God and they don't let it go.  However, it says in Genesis 50:20, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”  God takes Satan's plan for evil and uses it for good.  Harold Hill has sold over 1,000,000 copies of his book.  He has also probably told that story to thousands of people or more.  Instead of this story ending in tragedy, it is a story that has probably given people faith that they did not have before and definitely strengthened the faith of those who were already believers.  How incredible is that?  Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we thank you for your protection.  We thank you for all the miracles you make happen every single day, the big and the small ones.  Lord, we thank you for all the times you protected us from something that we didn't even know about.  Lord, we ask that you help us learn to make a habit of praising you so that if we are in a situation like Harold was, we will be prepared.  We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen.Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus! I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I!

"The Music Man" by Meredith Willson is a classic, big-hearted American musical that premiered on Broadway in 1957 and went on to win five Tony awards. We invite you to fritter away some time with us while we discuss the love (Forrest) and hate (Lenny) relationship we here at Settling Scores have with this show, which features several standards of the musical theatre canon such as Seventy-Six Trombones, Trouble, 'Til There Was You, Pickalittle and Gary, Indiana.  Along the way, we'll explore several instances of subtle racism in the original score, discuss some fabulous and not-so-fabulous performances (…ahem, looking at you, 2022 revival cast), listen to a cover by none other than the fabulous Ms. Patti LuPone, and of course we'll “talk, talk, talk, talk, and bicker, bicker, bicker” all the while. “Yessssir, yessssir!”   Synopsis: Charming con-man-with-a-heart-of-gold Harold Hill arrives in the small town of River City, Iowa, posing as a boys' band organizer. He sweet talks the townspeople into investing in instruments and uniforms for the band he claims he will lead, despite having no musical ability. Along the way, Hill meets and falls for Marian Paroo, the straight-laced town librarian and music teacher, who sees through his scheme, but finds herself falling for him nonetheless. As Hill's deception unravels, he must decide whether to flee or face the consequences, ultimately discovering a deeper connection to the town - and to Marian - than he anticipated. This spirited and infectious musical explores themes of love, trust, and the transformative power of music in a nostalgic portrayal of early 20th-century America. Bona fide happy ending, guaranteed.   And join us over on our Facebook and Instagram pages to tell us what you think!

Denver Post sports columnist Sean Keeler joins podcast host Mike McFeely to chat about one of North Dakota State's opponents this fall, the University of Colorado. Keeler recently wrote a column calling Colorado head coach Deion Sanders — you might have heard of him — "a false prophet, the Bruce Lee of B.S., Harold Hill in designer shades." Keeler and McFeely talk about the column, the reaction to it, and the upcoming matchup between the historically powerful FCS team in NDSU and the upstart and very popular FBS team in Colorado. It is sure to be a game watched intently both nationally because of Prime Time and regionally because the Bison get another chance to play an FBS Power Five team.

It's official. I am coming out of the closet and voting for Donald J. Trump. In this episode, I explain my journey from fear to courage to publicly support Trump. I also explain the policy justification Trump, and I respond to the common personal attacks that are used against Trump supporters. Finally, I explain why Trump, rather than being the next Harold Hill, is actually one of the most authentic and towering presidents of the last 200 years, rivaling FDF, Reagan, and Lincoln.

I talk a lot about the importance of brand messaging on this show and with my clients 1:1. And for sure, brand messages are essential for your business - you want to ensure that your ideal client knows what you offer and what makes you unique. But storytelling takes things to a whole new level. Storytelling is all about building emotional connections with your ideal clients and creating a sense of authenticity and identity for your brand. It's not just about communicating your business value - it's about connecting with your client on a deeper, more personal level. When you incorporate storytelling into your marketing and branding strategies, you're not just telling people what you do; you're showing them who you are. This emotional connection is crucial for consultants and coaches, where trust and credibility are key. You might think that you don't have exciting stories to tell, that it's just a gimmick, or that your clients won't care. But that is not the case! Today I'll be going over the four stories your business needs and give you some tips on how to get started in crafting those stories. In this episode, you'll hear: The four stories that a business needs How to get started in crafting those stories Four key stories that consultants and coaches should consider sharing in their business Incorporating storytelling into marketing to create a more meaningful and impactful presence for your business Why curating and practicing stories is vital to create a competitive edge Where to dive in: [02:34] Learn how to share your, "What I do..." story and the framework you need to use.

Today, Denise Musselwhite shares the moment when she decided to shift from CIO to executive coach and business owner. Denise had been dreaming of being an entrepreneur for a long time, but the Pandemic inspired her to leap. Her research into the challenges that women face in STEM fields and the negative impact that the Pandemic had on them motivated her to take action! She was a CIO for a large, independent school and had to transition the entire organization to online, sacrificing time with her family. Challenges during the Pandemic caused some women to leave their roles, as they could not make the same sacrifice. This experience, combined with her research and ongoing desire to be an entrepreneur, led her to pursue a new career path. She realized she had been teaching schools nationwide the best practices in technology and consulting them on implementation. So, to make this transition, she sought help from a coach to help her grieve her 25-year CIO career and separate from a role she had identified with for many years. It took her over a year to uncover her purpose and passions. Hear how she let go of her old identity to make room for something new! Tune in to hear Denise share her personal story of employee to entrepreneur and the mindset shift it takes to succeed.

Today, we're talking again about burnout and the CURE. I had a fantastic conversation with burnout expert Rachelle Stone and Lori Smith a few weeks back. I had a sense then I should open up about my struggle with burnout and what I learned from it, but then I chickened out. I went the safe route and did a couple of interviews with outstanding entrepreneurs. But then I was coaching a client about finding the courage to own their story and use it to help others. I realized it was time for me to do the same. So here it goes! Hi, I'm Betsy. I'm a recovering stressaholic. It's been 30 minutes since my last email check. Okay, five minutes. The truth is, I have struggled with burnout for years due to the challenges of running a business and raising kids as a single mom. Recently, after a cross-country move and becoming an empty nester, I experienced another burnout at new levels. This burnout was more like soul burnout or spiritual fatigue that no trips to the spa, bubble baths, or even a new set of supplements would solve. This experience forced me to take a hard look at my approach to balance and self-care. I realized that I had been neglecting my needs and boundaries around work, and I needed to make some changes in my life and business to prevent burnout from taking over again. That's why I want to share my journey of recovery and reinvention! I will also share the practical tips and tools that have helped me bounce-back from burnout. So, let's get started with the CURE method for burnout recovery! Where To Dive In [2:11] Compassion. The first step to curing burnout. [04:07] How to know of you're burnedout or just busy and stressed. [05:13] Understanding. The next step to get beyond symptoms and get to root causes. [05:38] Categories that will help you understand your burnout. [06:32] Identify the categories contributing to your burnout. [09:09] Reimaging and reinventing your life and business. [09:29] Why and how to do a start/stop/continue on your life and business. Learn where you really need to focus so you can get out of burnout. [18:43] What is giving your energy and what is draining you? How can this change your life and business? [19:17] Energy and capacity management. [23:30] Why you need to focus on doing the things "only you can do" and let go of the rest. Next Steps I want to leave you with three actions you can take today to start your burnout recovery journey: • First, take a break! Whether it's a five-minute breathing exercise or a day off, prioritize rest and self-care.• Second, journal about your own burnout experience. What are the messages it's trying to tell you? What changes can you make to address the root causes?• And finally, consider seeking support from a coach, therapist, or supportive community. Sometimes it takes a village to overcome burnout. And if your burnout is because you have work you have fallen out of love with or are just tired of growing your business alone, I'm here for you. Head to www.betsyjordyn.com/services to learn how I can empower you to create a business and life you love. Remember, burnout is not something that happens because you're lazy or can't cope with stress. You can find your path toward recovery and reinvention with compassion, understanding, a willingness to reimagine, and vigilant energy management. Take care!

The three of us worked together as internal consultants at Walt Disney World before starting our consulting and coaching businesses.

Gavin Lodge -- Broadway actor, small business entrepreneur, TikTok influencer, and Executive Director of the American Alliance of Artists and Audiences -- dishes on the importance of the arts, activism, and education. He also shares some of his favorite diverse LGBTQ friendly picture books that speak to the power of identity and family love. Gavin and I go way back (we were practically kids) when we performed together in TriArts Sharon Playhouse's production of The Music Man. He was the dynamic Harold Hill and I picked a little and talked a lot. Backstage, we became friends in the kind of friendship that endures. Over the years, we've talked politics, literature, raising kids. And it's been so much fun to be a part of his journey from the Broadway stage to launching his own business, to become a social media influencer, and now, most recently the Executive Director of 4A, the American Alliance of Artists and Audiences. In the conversation that follows, we explore the importance of the arts as part of STEAM education and as an important aspect of American society. We also delve deeply into picture books that help foster positive images of LGBTQ families and children. And there's a lot of laughter as well. [01:37] What is 4A Arts, the American Alliance of Artists and Audiences?[05:36] Connecting the A in STEAM (That's Arts) [07:32] Adventures in Learning: Gavin's Journey from Broadway to 4A Arts Executive Director[11:02] Gavin has established a successful social media presence on  TikTok and has created an entertaining and thought provoking parenting blog, which I highly recommend.

For Video Edition, Please Click and Subscribe Here: https://youtu.be/CdirO0e7kpU Born Robert Preston Meservey in the suburbs of Boston in 1918, Preston moved with his family to Los Angeles as a toddler. He caught the acting bug in high school and continued as an actor with a Shakespearean acting troupe and at the Pasadena Playhouse before being discovered by Paramount Studios in 1938 at the age of nineteen. The song “Seventy-Six Trombones” from The Music Man would forever link Robert Preston to the Broadway musical and the iconic 1962 film that would establish him as a Hollywood and Broadway star. His role as Harold Hill in The Music Man was a pivotal moment for the actor who appeared in dozens of films as well as theater and television productions. A master at shielding his private life, Robert Preston was a distinguished actor and gifted artist on the public stage, yet remained a reclusive, enigmatic man in his private life. Extensive archival research, and interviews Preston's family members and fellow actors including Rosemary Harris, Christopher Walken, Lesley Ann Warren, Loretta Swit, Bob Gunton, Neva Small, and others, has unveiled a richly detailed portrait of the gifted actor's personal life as well as an overview of the films and Broadway productions to which he lent his talent. REVIEWS "Debra Warren has written a fascinating and meticulous chronology of a heretofore enigmatic star – gregarious but intensely private, overachieving but underestimated, charismatic but modest, strategizing but sincere. Preston is now revealed in the full spectrum of his personality. Ms. Warren's passion for detail makes this biography as invaluable a reference as it is an enticing read.” - Ron Spivak, Musical Theater Historian

In September 2001, Oz Fudge was one of two town constables in Gander. While the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (the so-called “Mounties”) handled major criminal investigations, Fudge handled community-oriented enforcement, including traffic tickets, public disorderliness and the like. He was on duty monitoring speedsters in the school zone when he was alerted to the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in New York City. Seemingly another country away, the trauma of the event was soon to arrive on his doorstep, as the air space was to ordered to clear immediately and all planes were instructed to land as soon as possible. This directive saw the town of Gander welcome 37 passenger aircraft, carrying 7000 passengers; world citizens who required a ‘home base' until safety could be guaranteed. These passengers had ‘come from away'. The response, care and generosity that ensued over the following week has come to illustrate the tremendous resilience and kindness of humanity. The community of Gander and the visitors in that week have become celebrated in the musical Come From Away. A joyous celebration of community and the human spirit to overcome any challenging event. It is immensely relatable and has never failed to elicit joy and confirm faith in the goodness of humanity. Oz Fudge has now joined the ranks of Harold Hill, Tevye and Danny Zuko, in becoming a character in a Broadway musical. But it is as a result of being a fascinating part, of a story that changed the world. Oz was recently in Sydney where we caught up and he keenly shared his experience of that week whilst heralding the brilliance of the musical Come From Away, which is now on tour around Australia and New Zealand.

The Music Man is a 1962 musical adaptation of the Meredith Wilson musical of the same name. Taking place in the early 1910s of America, it follows the national con man Harold Hill, as he slowly develops a plot to swindle the town of River City, Iowa (Based on Wilson's own hometown of Mason City) out of its money via the creation of a boys' marching band. The film version starred Robert Preston, Shirley Jones, Buddy Hackett, Paul Ford, and Hermione Gingold, and has gone down as one of the greatest musical films of all time according to critics and historians.On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott tackle the verbose Meredith Wilson musical head on, with a screening of The Music Man. Join them as they question the veracity of Harold Hill's conning abilities, the general sanity of River City itself, and the appropriateness of the virile, sexual stallion that is Buddy Hackett....with Lilz & Scott!

El episodio empieza haciendo un pequeño estudio comparativo que muestra cómo un texto bíblico puede ser una especie de etapa de transición en la evolución de un texto anterior a uno posterior. Vemos como el autor de la epístola de Judas utiliza el primer libro de Enoc, y otros apócrifos, y como el autor de la segunda epístola de Pedro usa la epístola de Judas, casi textualmente. Apología o no querer admitir errores Este segmento es el que dio el nombre al episodio. Hablamos de la leyenda urbana creada por Harold Hill, sobre el mito bíblico del día que Yahweh detuvo el movimiento del sol, para alargar el día facilitando al ejército de Josué. Que a pesar de ser tan obviamente absurda, sigue circulando y siguen habiendo personas que lo aceptan y viralizan. Tinta Invisible La cita escrita con tinta invisible está en Jeremías 29:17. Hablamos de los nombres usados por Dios en la biblia, en este caso Yahweh Sebaot, traducido por los protestantes a «Jehová de los ejércitos». ¿Esta eso en la biblia? ¿Habla la biblia de la reencarnación? Presentamos las dos perícopas del nuevo testamento que parecen mostrar que la reencarnación está enseñada en la biblia.

You Preserve My LifePsalm 138:7-8 “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me. The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever—do not abandon the works of your hands.When I read this passage I get the picture of a football player holding the ball in his right hand, with his body turned away from the opposing player and his other hand out to block.  However, instead of a football player it is God.  He has His right arm around me shielding me from danger and His left hand out to shield me from the anger of my enemies.  To me, this is a beautiful image.  I am so thankful that I know that God is out there protecting me.  I have heard some incredible stories of this protection.  I think that sometimes we can think that God can protect us from things by helping us avoid them, or making sure we are in the right place at the right time.  And He does do this.  However, He can also protect you from danger in the moment as well.  The verse above starts with the statement that says, “You preserve my life.”  I would like to tell you a story that is an excellent example of this.  The story is from the book “How To Live Like A King's Kid."  by Harold Hill.  If you have not read this book I can't recommend it enough.  It is so good and will definitely boost your faith. Here is a short excerpt of how God can save you from real physical danger in the moment.  “Recently I was driving down a divided highway to a meeting. The dividing strip was maybe 20 feet wide. Suddenly, a car coming from the other direction, going about 70, the same speed I was traveling, started to cross the strip. It was headed straight for me. A 140 mph impact was in the making with me in the middle of it.  Mincemeat.I was glad that I didn't have to wait to get into the high gear of praise and Thanksgiving, because I wouldn't have had time. It all happened so fast. Walking in the light has to do with all circuits being tuned up by praise and Thanksgiving all the time – in everything giving thanks for everything. I have been walking in the light all day. So I was thanking God and praying in the spirit for the people in the other car all in the same breath, realizing it could be my last one. But I was singing the songs of Zion, knowing that Kings kids don't have to graduate on Satan's terms.The car hurtling at me was less than 20 yards away when suddenly is shot straight up in the air, and turned upside down. It was a convertible, the top was down and people flew in all directions. Then the car crashed flat, right alongside me."Lord, do you want me to stop?" I asked him then. “No. Don't stop. You intercede,” was is the message I got. In my rearview mirror I could see other cars and trucks stopping they wouldn't need my physical presence there but God needed me to be an intercessor.  And so I kept on praying, praising God, praying in tongues. I was aware of raw power, rivers of living water, flowing from my innermost being direct to the throne of grace as I interceded in the spirit.Before I was half a mile down the road, I had gods assurance that he had taken care of everything, and I went to my meeting satisfied. That was Friday. On Sunday morning, I had an invitation to speak at the Kent Island Methodist church near the place where the accident had occurred. I shared my experience from the pulpit and said that if anyone present knew the outcome of the accident, I'd like to hear about it. I knew something good had taken place. Sure enough, three different people came to me at the door of the church after the service and said they were at the scene just a few minutes after the accident happened, because they lived close by. The car had blown a tire, going at high speed and had gotten completely out of control. The people in the convertible had fallen clear of the car, and every one of them had walked away from the accident! The car was demolished Dash but no person was injured. It was a miracle.A car coming straight at you on a level Road does not suddenly jumped straight up in the air. From straight forward motion to vertical motion is impossible unless you hit something curved to change the course. And that's what happened in that accident. The cars course was changed when it hit a curved surface – the curved circle of light that prevented darkness from entering to annihilate a kings kid.  There were millions of foot pounds of energy involved but that's nothing for an angel of the Lord. Hallelujah! When we call upon the king he works supernaturally to deliver us from trouble.”I always get emotional when I hear stories like this because I am reminded of how much God loves us and that He will go to any lengths to save us.  I also get emotional because of how touching it is.  These people all seemed to be headed for death.  Their lives could have been over in an instant.  And they weren't.  Satan meant for that tire to go out and for the whole situation to end badly.  If Satan had gotten his way those people would have died.  You and I don't know the state of their souls, but even if they went to heaven, what about the after affects of their deaths on those still living.  Unexpected death of a loved one often brings with it anger.  It can cause some to question God and why He would let such an awful thing happen.  Some people get angry with God and they don't let it go.  However, it says in Genesis 50:20, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”  God takes Satan's plan for evil and uses it for good.  Harold Hill has sold over 1,000,000 copies of his book.  He has also probably told that story to thousands of people or more.  Instead of this story ending in tragedy it is a story that has probably given people faith that did not have it before and definitely strengthened the faith of those that were already believers.  How incredible is that?  Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we thank you for your protection.  We thank you for all of the miracles you make happen every single day, the big ones and the small ones.  Lord, we thank you for all the times you protected us from something that we didn't even know about.  Lord, we ask that you help us learn to make a habit of praising you so that if we are in a situation like Harold was we would be prepared.  We love you Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen.

Adam Pascal was born on October 25, 1970, in the Bronx and raised in Syosset, New York. He started singing in various rock bands when he was 12, playing the local New York club scene for many years, and has been singing in bands, as a solo artist, in movies, or on the Broadway stage ever since. In 1996, Adam tried out for the then unknown, off-Broadway production of Rent. He landed the role of Roger Davis. Adam was nominated for a 1996 Tony Award as Best Actor (Musical), and won a Drama League and Obie award for his performance as Roger. The Show went on to become a worldwide success and one of the longest running shows in Broadway history. In 1997 He reprised the role of Roger (the first of several times he would do so) for the West End Premiere of Rent. In 1998, Adam's career expanded to the big screen in the independent film SLC Punk! In  2000, Adam was cast as Radames in Elton John and Tim Rice's new Broadway musical Aida, for which he received a Drama League award. In May of 2000, his debut solo album, Model Prisoner, was released. Also in 2000, Adam co- produced the hit off-Broadway play Fully Committed with fellow former Rent cast member, Jesse L. Martin. The show went on to garner many awards and played to sold out houses in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco and London. In October 2003, Adam once again visited the Broadway stage, this time, asked to be the final Emcee in the Sam Mendes/Rob Marshall production of Cabaret at Studio 54, as part  of the closing cast. Also during that time Adam starred alongside Jack Black, as Theo, the lead singer of “No Vacancy” in 2003's School of Rock. Finally in 2004, Adam's second CD, Civilian, was released in November, again on Sh-k-boom records. In 2005, Adam reprised the role of Roger in the movie version of Rent. Adam's journey with Rent finally came to conclusion when in 2009, he reprised the role one last time alongside Anthony Rapp, in Rent The Broadway Tour which traveled all over the U.S. as well as Japan and South Korea.  In 2008, Adam played the role of Freddie Trumper in the Tim Rice/Abba Musical Chess, alongside Josh Groban, and Idina Menzel for two sold out performances at The Royal Albert Hall, in London. The DVD is currently on sale worldwide. In 2010/11 Adam starred as Huey Calhoun in Broadway's Tony Award winning musical Memphis and in 2013 Adam starred as Billy Flynn in Broadway's long running hit Chicago. In 2015 Adam starred as Chad in Broadway's Disaster. In 2017 Adam starred as Shakespeare on Broadway and in the first national tour of the musical Something Rotten.

This podcast covers New Girl Season 2, Episode 13, A Father's Love, which originally aired on January 15, 2013 and was directed by Jake Kasdan and written by Berkley Johnson and Josh Malmuth.Here's a quick recap of the episode:Nick is surprised when his father shows up for an unexpected visit and Jess finds out that he's a con man when hilarity ensues at a horse race track. Meanwhile, Schmidt runs into Robby and both try to win Cece back. We discuss Pop Culture References such as:Kalinka - When Nick and his dad were being confronted by the Russian horse dealers, the Russians started singing the Russian folk tune, Kalinka.Sugar Ray [Leonard] / Sugar Ray [Robinson] - The con Nick did as a kid was called the Sugar Ray, where he would pretend to be a diabetic kid.Additional Pop Culture References such as:Chicago Bulls (“Chica Go Bills”) - The hats Walt tried to get Nick and Winston to sell as kids didn't say “Chicago Bulls”, but instead said “Chica Go Bills”. The Chicago Bulls are an American professional basketball team based in Chicago. The Bulls compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Central Division.The Music Man - Professor Harold Hill from The Music Man used the scheme of "Fake trombones for a fake band" like Jess references when she learns that Walt is a con man. The Music Man is a 1962 American musical film based on Meredith Willson's 1957 Broadway musical of the same name. The premise is that Harold Hill poses as a boys' band leader to con naïve Iowa townsfolk.Uncle Buck - When Jess is trying to sell the horse, she exclaims, “Damn it, Uncle Buck! This horse will never race again.” Uncle Buck is a 1989 American comedy film written and directed by John Hughes and starred John Candy as Uncle Buck, a bachelor and all-around-slob who babysits his brother's rebellious teenage daughter and her younger brother and sister.When Schmidt is bummed he never got Cece to wear a sari for sexual reasons, he spoofed a few movie scenarios in his head:Monsoon Wedding - Monsoon Wedding is a 2001 Indian comedy-drama film that depicts romantic entanglements during a traditional Punjabi Hindu wedding in Delhi. Although it is set entirely in New Delhi, the film was an international co-production between companies in India, the United States, Italy, France, and Germany.Slumdog Millionaire - Slumdog Millionaire is a 2008 British drama film that is a loose adaptation of the novel Q & A by Indian author Vikas Swarup, telling the story of 18-year-old Jamal Malik from the Juhu slums of Mumbai reflecting on his life after being accused of cheating on the Indian version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?".The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a 2011 British comedy-drama film based on the novel These Foolish Things by Deborah Moggach, and features a group of British pensioners moving to a retirement hotel in India, run by a young and eager man.Hilary Swank - Jess says Nick seems like Hilary Swank mixed with a wet dog when he was nervous about lying. Hilary Ann Swank is an American actress and film producer. She began acting in 1992 and came to international recognition in the early 2000s for her performances as Brandon Teena, a trans man, in Kimberly Peirce's Boys Don't Cry, and as Maggie Fitzgerald, an aspiring boxer, in Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby.When Schmidt and Robby were brainstorming a plan to get Cece back they referenced:Ocean's Twelve / Brad Pitt - Ocean's Twelve is an American heist comedy film and is the second installment of the Ocean's franchise. William Bradley [Brad] Pitt is an American actor and film producer who received multiple accolades including: two Golden Globe Awards and an Academy Award for his acting, and another Academy Award, another Golden Globe Award and a Primetime Emmy Award as a producer.Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a 1969 American Western film based loosely on fact, telling the story of Wild West outlaws Robert LeRoy Parker, known as Butch Cassidy, and his partner Harry Longabaugh, the "Sundance Kid" who are two con men on the run. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was selected by the American Film Institute as the 7th-greatest Western of all time in 2008.We also cover Robby and Schmidt's conversation about elephants as our “Schmidtism” this episode. For our “not in the 2020s” we discuss Schmidt and Robby crashing Cece's house, how they exclaimed ‘white guy power', and their lack of sensitivity for others' cultures. Our “yes in the 2020s” covers Schmidt and Robby's friendship. We also give a brief look into Dennis Farina (Walt), Stone Eisenmann (Young Nick), and Jordan Fuller (Young Winston), the guest stars of this episode.Also in this episode were the following guest stars who we do not discuss in the podcast: Nelson Franklin (Robby - Previously discussed in S2E1), Pasha D. Lychnikoff (Buyer #1), Ivo Nandi (Buyer #2), Nick Vallelonga (Owner), Cris D'Annunzio (Dusty), Mona Sishodia (Pavun's aunt), Juliocesar Chavez (Kid), Sunit Gupta (Pavun's Father), Thushari Jayasekera (Pavun's cousin), and Andy Kimbel (Race Fan).We also discuss how the character Pavun Shetty is played by himself and he was a producer on New Girl, how Nick's room has a picture of Jimmy Croche in it, and how the glass of orange juice that Schmidt knocks over while stalking Cece is upright when he talks to Robby later.While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:(Vice President) Joe Biden - In this episode, Nick mentions that one of the people he'd want to be unpredictable is Vice President Joe Biden. Joseph Biden Jr. was born in 1942 and served as the 47th Vice President of the United States from 2009 to 2017 under President Barack Obama. He was also elected the 46th President of the United States in 2021. Prior to his time as a Vice President he was also the Delaware Senator for 36 years, being sworn in just after he turned 30.Sari - When Cece is meeting with Pavun's family, she's wearing a sari which makes Schmidt upset. A sari is an article of clothing, traditionally from the Indian subcontinent that is wrapped around the waist with one end around the shoulder. There are many styles of wearing the sari and most are worn with a blouse and an under-skirt called a petticoat.Throughout the episode Schmidt and Robby circled through multiple ideas on how to get Cece back including the following:Trojan horse - This is a reference to the wooden horse used by the Greeks to enter Troy and win the Trojan War by sneaking inside and destroying the city. Since, it has metaphorically been used to mean any trick that invites the target to invite their enemy into a secure location that they are in.Buying a Star - Although there are a number of registries that allow you to buy and name a star which results in a certificate with the star's name, no astronomer or observatory will refer to the star by the name you purchased as this is more of a novelty gift.United States Navy Ball - The “Naval Officers' Ball” that Robby mentioned is an annual celebratory ball recognizing the birthday of the United States Navy, which was signed into order on October 13, 1775. During the Ball, there is also a keynote speech, dinner and desserts, a cake cutting ceremony, official toasts from high level officers, and even musical performances.This episode got a 7.5/10 Rating from Kritika whose favorite character was Nick and Kelly rated this episode a 7.5/10 and her favorite character was Jess!Thanks for listening and stay tuned for Episode 14!Music: "Hotshot” by scottholmesmusic.comFollow us on Twitter, Instagram or email us at whosthatgirlpod@gmail.com!Website: https://smallscreenchatter.com/

In this week's episode, Gavia and Morgan find themselves unexpectedly at odds over classic movie musical "The Music Man" (1962), starring Robert Preston as small-time conman Harold Hill and Shirley Jones as the librarian who falls for him in spite of herself. Is this movie justifiably beloved or an interminable purgatory? You be the judge.

The Music Man is a musical with book, music, and lyrics by Meredith Willson, based on a story by Willson and Franklin Lacey. The plot concerns con man Harold Hill, who poses as a boys' band organizer and leader and sells band instruments and uniforms to naïve Midwestern townsfolk, promising to train the members of the new band. Harold is no musician, however, and plans to skip town without giving any music lessons. Prim librarian and piano teacher Marian sees through him, but when Harold helps her younger brother overcome his lisp and social awkwardness, Marian begins to fall in love with him. He risks being caught to win her heart.Venmo's: @jacob-santos-22 ; @rda956 ; @annika-pk

What happens when the city that barely ever sleeps finds out one morning that it can’t wake up? All the joe has lost its jolt. This is a job for the woman detective who sees all, Harriet Eyeball, Private Eye in “The Coffee Caper,” an all-improvised Noir Radio Drama based on listener suggestions. Tune in as The EDGE troupe members Todd Erler, Cynthia Lair, Susan MacPherson, Chris Soldevilla, Ken Ballenger, John Ellis, and Andrew Shields tackle the case. TODD ERLER Todd is very lucky. He had the good fortune of being trained in the art of improv in the early nineties by some of the Chicagoans who were pioneers in that field. Since then Todd has led two and a half improv groups, taught improv classes, worked with Unexpected Productions in Seattle and now gets to perform with The EDGE. Todd teaches in the amazing Odyssey program for the Bainbridge Island School District. He is also a musician who writes and performs his own music and plays Irish pub tunes locally as one half of the duo Rye and Barley. Sometimes Todd is cast in shows at BPA or with Island Theater's library plays. He even gets to direct a show every now and then. At one time Todd was the artistic director of the Jewel Box Theater in Poulsbo and wrote an improv blog called “Improvmantra.”   CYNTHIA LAIR Cynthia has authored three cookbooks, Feeding the Whole Family (currently in its fourth edition), Feeding the Young Athlete, and the latest – Sourdough on the Rise (admit it, you love bread too), which hit the ground baking in 2019. She’s been a professor at Bastyr University since the movie Pulp Fiction gave us a start (look it up). Find out “How to Cut an Onion” via her Tedx Rainier talk on YouTube. Improv has become her new occupation as she is also a company member and teacher for Unexpected Productions at the Market Theater. She claims, “Doing improv balances real and imaginary life for me. With the real part being what happens on stage.”   SUSAN MACPHERSON Susan started taking Improv classes in the early 1980's as a way to bypass the “Seattle Freeze” (the phenomenon where it is very hard to make friends when new to the city). She improvized her way right past that and went on the be one of the first founding women in Seattle TheatreSports as well as performing with None of The Above, Seattle Improv, and Unexpected Productions for many years before joining The EDGE. For money, she has managed retail stores, had her own line of jewelry for 10 years at Pike Market, been a breakfast chef at an all-treehouse resort owned by the Treehouse Master (Pete Nelson), and finally settled on work she absolutely loves for the last 22 years helping new families as a Postpartum Doula and Certified Baby Sleep Consultant. (Yes, she can get babies to sleep.) Susan is the proud mother of Geo- scientist, Carson, who is going for her Ph.D. in Geo-Hazard Mitigation. In Susan’s non-existent spare time, she can be seen camping in “Primrose”, her 1970-vintage, British caravan.   CHRIS SOLDEVILLA Chris has done Improv in Boston, L.A. as well as here on Bainbridge and teaches improvisors young and old at his acting/improv workshop The Studio Bainbridge. He has appeared on screens big and small and locally in BPA’s productions of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Twelve Angry Men, True West, and The Tempest. He got acclaim for his roles in Swinging Hammer’s American Buffalo and Glengarry Glen Ross. Chris approaches life like he does improv: he makes it up on the spot…and asks complete strangers for suggestions. Online at www.thestudiobainbridge.com.   KEN BALLENGER Ken has been performing in the Seattle area for over 30 years. You may have seen him on stage, in commercials, and if you were alert at a few low budget movies, you may have spotted him. He is one of the founding members of The EDGE. In addition to performing he has taught workshops, practices karate, and, now retired, is enjoying life and carving things with a chain saw.   JOHN KENYON ELLIS John is happy to be back for season 24 of The EDGE. “Thanks Bainbridge for supporting The EDGE for all these years!!” Besides Improv, John has appeared on this stage in Noises Off, Annie, Born Yesterday, Guys and Dolls, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, As You Like It, ‘Art’ and Sylvia. He appeared as Falstaff in Merry Wives at Bloedel, and he most recently played a dream role as Andrey Botvinnick in InD’s production of Walk in the Woods. John was awarded the Island Treasure in 2018 for his years in The EDGE and on stage. “Miss you Frank! ONWARD!”   ANDREW SHIELDS Andrew has been called “a musical genius,” “phenomenal,” “immensely talented,” and “an unending source of irritation.” During his Wonder Bread years Andrew was fortunate to study piano under someone who studied under someone who studied under Liszt who studied under Beethoven who studied under Mozart. Andrew has a BA in Music from Stanford, where he won the Undergraduate Prize in Composition. More recently, he wrote the music, lyrics, and script for the original Reefer Madness: The Musical, as well as music, lyrics, and (with fellow EDGE member John Ellis) script for the musical Harry Tracy: A Bainbridge Bandit. He has music-directed shows at BPA, ACT, Village Theater, Tacoma Actors’ Guild, the Bathhouse Theater, and Second Story Repertory, among others, and played Harold Hill in The Music Man and Tito Merelli in Lend Me a Tenor at BPA. In his spare time Andrew practices medicine and spends time with his phenomenal wife and two immensely talented daughters.

Our February 5 episode of the Bainbridge Pod Accomplice showcases original songs written and performed by Dr. Andrew Shields, whose one-of-a-kind lyrics have amused and delighted audiences of The EDGE Improv for nearly two decades! Dr. Shields will be interviewed by BPA Communication and Development Coordinator, Matt Longmire. Dr. Shields has been called “a musical genius,” “phenomenal,” “immensely talented,” and “an unending source of irritation.” During his Wonder Bread years Andrew was fortunate to study piano under someone who studied under someone who studied under Liszt who studied under Beethoven who studied under Mozart.

Comenzamos el año con un musical que debió reponerse el año pasado, pero la pandemia del covid19 lo paralizó todo. Ahora está previsto para principios del 2022. Crucemos los dedos y esperemos poder ver a Hugh Jackman y Sutton Foster defendiendo este amable musical que fue todo un éxito cuando se estrenó en 1957 y en su reposición del 2000. "THE MUSIC MAN" es un musical de Meredith Wilson que ganó CINCO Premios Tony, compitiendo nada menos que con "West Side Story" que sólo consiguió dos. Está ambientado en los años 30, cuando el mundo era más confiado y amable que hoy y presa fácil para los timadores como el protagonista de nuestra historia, el Profesor Harold Hill. Vamos a escuchar mayormente la versión que se hizo para el cine producida y dirigida por Morton DaCosta, que también la dirigió en Broadway, para poder disfrutar de las orquestaciones y adaptación musical que hizo Ray Heindorf y por la que ganó el Oscar en 1963. En el reparto tenemos a Robert Preston que generó el personaje del profesor Harold Hill en escena, aunque para Marian contrataron a Shirley Jones, en vez de Barbara Cook que gano el Tony por su interpretación en Broadway y también tenemos al hoy famoso director de cine Ron Howard, que en esta película fue Winthrop el hermano de Marian. 00h 00'00" Till there was you - The Beatles 00h 02'09" Presentación 00h 03'47" Cabecera 00h 04'53" Inicio 00h 06'00" Overture / Rock Island 00h 11'29" Iowa Sttuborn 00h 14'22" Ya got trouble 00h 19'00" Piano lesson / If you don't mind me saying so 00h 21'20" Goodnight my someone 00h 24'40" Ya got troubles / 76 Trombones 00h 28'10" Ice cream / Sincere 00h 31'08" The sadder but wiser girl 00h 33'38" Pick-a-little, talk-a-little / Goodnight ladies 00h 36'34" Marian the librarian 00h 43'07" Gary, Indiana 00h 45'00" My white knight 00h 48'38" The Wells Fargo 00h 52'03" It's you 00h 53'35" Shipoopi 00h 57'49" Pick-a-little, talk-a-little (Reprise) 00h 59'06" Lida Rose / Will I ever tell tou? 01h 03'33" Gary, Indiana (Reprise) 01h 05'28" Till there was you 01h 09'14" 76 Trombones / Goodnight my someone 01h 11'20" Till there was you (Reprise) 01h 14'05" Finale 01h 17'00" Curiosidades y anécdotas 01h 18'26" Being in love 01h 22'10" Conclusión y agradecimientos  01h 24'06" 76 Trombones

In Episode 54, I'm chatting once again with my long-time friend and camp colleague, Dr. Jim Sears. I've known him as Camp Doctor  "Bones" for the past 14 years, but he is better known by his patients at his family's pediatric practice as "Dr. Jim." You might have caught our previous episode (Episode 51), where we talked about building kids' self esteem. In this episode, we talk about some of the benefits of camp and what we think parents can learn from summer camp to bring home some of the benefits of the experience. We touch on topics related to our kids' well-being, including positive behavior management, health tips, encouraging kids to be themselves, gain autonomy, and unplug! Positive Behavior Management Catch them doing the right thing Attention seeking behavior "Give the good attention to specific positive behaviors." Dr. Jim Sears Health Tips "Wow! What's different about my daily living up here at camp?" Quite active - more walking Incidental exercise- walking and chatting with friends from one activity to the next Meal structure - specific times for meals - not much snacking. Stay busy not bored "It's okay to be hungry." Dr. Jim Sears "How do I get my kids to eat the chicken and broccoli for dinner?" Healthy snacks available and the only option Discovering new foods through experiences away from home (like camp) Our kids need to be around other people besides us who are making healthy choices "Sometimes another mentor or adult can make really big strides with your kids." Audrey Being Themselves Clothing choices It's cool to be independent and do your hair a little bit differently Cool to be wacky-be your own self Get dirty Developing Autonomy "One of the best things about camp, for kids, is that, for the first time for many of them, they get to make their own choices and decisions about a lot of things, and they're not getting as micromanaged about all the details of their existence."

As Paul and Corey return from summer break, remakes and reboots are on their minds. The Fly (1958 and 1986) are both beloved films and emblematic of just what it takes to create a successful remake. After their previous discussion of The Fly (1958), in this episode, Paul and Corey discuss The Fly (1986) - its incredible and gorgeous cast, Corey's antipathy toward body horror, and the importance of casting a fast-talker to play Harold Hill in The Music Man. This Month's Theme: Reboots! This Episode's Focus: The Fly (1986)

Ben draws a parallel between Aster and the music of celebrated conductor Harold Hill, Daniel opines upon the purgatory of graduate school, and Brandon finds the film of the week to be not quite his tempo.

Peter Marks, theatre critic of the Washington Post and co-host of American Theatre magazine's Three on the Aisle Podcast, famously loathes the song "Shipoopi" in Meredith Willson's The Music Man and this week we try to convince him just how wrong he is. Featuring strong emotional reactions; unworthy yet sophisticated analysis; unprovoked disdain of garden gnomes; pilgrimages to Mason City, Iowa; reverse snobbery; comparing Act Two openings; anthropomorphizing a month; ideal Harold Hill casting (the less said about Matthew Broderick, the better); and ultimately a celebration of one the American musical theatre’s greatest (give or take a song or two) shows. WARNING: No minds were changed in the recording of this podcast. (Length 20:13) (Pictured: Jonathan Butler-Duplessis as Marcellus Washburn in the Goodman Theatre production of Meredith Willson's The Music Man, directed by Mary Zimmerman. Photo by Liz Lauren.)

Join us as the Rock 'n' Roll Doctor is in the house! Radiohead, Joni Mitchell and Marian Hill all spin today along with New Music from MEGA. Track Listing Rock 'n' Roll Doctor Little FeatCalifornia Joni MitchellDown Marian HillBlack Satin Miles DavisJust RadioheadChariot MegaThe Lucky One Alison Krauss & Union StationWillin' Little Feat Sweet Joni from from Saskatoon. There's a ring for your finger, it looks like the sun but it feels like the moon. Sweet Joni from Saskatoon … Don't go, don't go too soon Neil Young's unreleased love letter to Joni Mitchell, sentiments that we here at From the Bottom of the Record Box certainly feel. Joni Mitchell has been a constant in every music lovers life and right now in her failing health, we can only repay her with our love and gratitude for touching us so deeply with her beauty. There, I said it. Just not as cleverly as Uncle Neil. You too, Neil, are loved greatly by all of us. Thanks for sharing California of the seminal Blue by Joni Mitchell with us Tobin, but listeners, do yourselves a favour and listen to the whole captivating album here. It sounds merely as if the band had selected a chord and decided to worry the hell out of it for three-quarters of an hour In stark contrast to Joni Mitchell, On the Corner was the larger body of work that we selected Black Satin from, largely because it is the most "radio-friendly" track on the album. Largely panned on its release it has since gained popularity and proved to be largely influential on the coming genres of rap, hip hop, post-punk, electronica and funk. It was Miles' worst selling album, an attempt to regain young black Americans already lost to Rock 'n' Roll. We are no Miles Davis experts here at Record Box HQ, we'll leave it for John Szwed to have the final say on this excellent recording… Jazz musicians hated it, critics bemoaned Miles's fall from grace, and since Columbia failed to market it as a pop record, it died in the racks. Even now, when Davis's jazz-rock recordings are being reissued to great acclaim, On the Corner remains lost in time. Still, this record might well be the most radical break with the past of all of Davis's many breaks. Dense with rhythm and conceptually enriched with noises, his trumpet's role mixed down to that of a journeyman, the melody reduced to recycled Minimalist patterns, Davis broke every rule enforced by the jazz police. Yet today ... we hear that Davis was laying the foundations for drum 'n' bass, trip hop, Jungle, and all the other musics of repetition to come. Szwed, John F. (September 1998). "100 Records That Set the World on Fire (While No One Was Listening) — Miles Davis On the Corner (Columbia 1972)". The Wire. No. 175. London. p. 28 – via Exact Editions. Art-rock adventure As we discussed on the show, The Bends is a masterpiece, but one shadowed by this! Nearly not recorded at all due to writer's block and endless creative stalling, the final cut is daring and confident. And, it inspired Amanda Palmer's wand of thunder. Despite being 23 years old now, the whole cut still deserves a place in anyone's record box. Dumb fact Marian Hill is an American songwriting duo from Philadelphia consisting of production artist Jeremy Lloyd and vocalist Samantha Gongol. Their name comes from two characters, Marian Paroo and Harold Hill, from the musical The Music Man. From the Mothers of Invention to soul stomping funk masters As we mentioned in the show there are several recordings of Willin', the song that Frank Zappa heard and convinced Lowell George to go start his own band, out there.

Joshua Gailey is a PhD candidate in musicology at Yale University and his dissertation focuses on the factors that influenced the development of the school band movement during the Progressive Era. The fact that this episode falls on the birthday of John Philip Sousa is a happy coincidence! Topics: The institutionalization and standardization of the concert band in the early years of the 20th Century as part of the larger social reform movements of the era. The “Golden Age” of the wind band during the 19th Century and how it performed European music, particularly the high art that hadn’t come to America yet. The founding of NAfME and the early goals of music education during the Progressive Era. Early marching bands and the role of marching in the early development of school bands and the development of standardization through early band competitions sponsored by the MSNC. The role of instrument manufactures in the development of the school band and the reality behind the myth of Harold Hill. The historical background of gender bias band music.

In the 1962 film, The Music Man, a conman named Harold Hill tricks the people of River City, Iowa into buying musical instruments. If only they had studied a little physics, they would have never been so easily fooled. Everyday Einstein delves into the classic movie to discuss the importance of momentum.

Perhaps it's our popular culture, but the business of selling has gotten a terrible reputation.  Whether it’s Willy Loman trying to be “well liked,” or Harold Hill hoodwinking people from town to town, or Alec Baldwin's character of Blake in David Mamet's’ Glengarry Glen Ross, we've seen selling portrayed as as one of the least trustworthy endeavors. Even lower on the scale than members of congress. Selling in the 21st century is very different.  No longer is it about sleaze and closing.  Today it’s about science, persuasion and information. Selling is something we all do in our personal lives, and in our professional lives; even if we are not in the business of sales. Best selling author Daniel Pink, takes us inside this reality in To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others.My conversation with Daniel Pink:

Episode #17: Twice the talent, twice the laughs, twice as long! But when you're in the room with Ruth Gottschall and Mary Testa, you just don't want to leave! I had a fantastic afternoon with the two of them, chatting and websurfing and singing "Moving Right Along", the women's version. Yes, this is the same explicit song that you heard back in January for two guys in a gay bar, rewritten for two women in a singles bar. (The lyrics for this version appear in the back of the songbook.) Recorded 4/12/06.Where to begin? Ruth is a veteran of eight Broadway shows, most recently Jackie Mason's Laughing Room Only, however her longest run of late was as Eulalie Shinn in the revival of The Music Man, a role she will recreate this summer at the Sacramento Music Circus. Before that, you can catch her as Mrs. Upson in the sure-to-be-fabulous Kennedy Center production of Mame. Also, let PBS know that you want to see the educational series, Character Studies, so you can catch Ruth on the "Harold Hill" episode.Mary Testa's resumé is so impressive, I don't know what to mention first! Should I start with her two Tony nominations, for On the Town and 42nd Street? Her numerous Off Broadway credits and the Obie award for On the Town and From Above? Her amazing performances on the original cast recordings of In Trousers, Lucky Stiff, A Funny Thing Happened...Forum (with Ruth too!), A New Brain, Marie Christine, and most recently, Michael John La Chiusa's See What I Wanna See? Or should I just mention that she loves Faith, the Biped Dog and Michelle Collins' blog, You Can't Make It Up? Mary fans can catch her in the concert, Hands Across the Sea, at Merkin Hall on May 16th and 17th, as well as in Jam & Spice, a Kurt Weill revue at the Westport Playhouse in June.
