Design Review Committee disapproves replacement "Sign"
The Terminal: Ten Years Later
Those who watched the Tony Awards on June 12 saw a performance (quite similar to parts of this trailer) from the New York Philharmonic‘s production of Stephen Sondheim‘s Company. Fans of the theater realize just how impressive this revival of the play is – including such star power as Neil Patrick Harris, Stephen Colbert, Christina Hendricks and Jon Cryer – though more folks are probably talking about @ActuallyNPH‘s closing rap at the Tonys (and for those interested, here are the lyrics).
Most of us here in Birmingham probably didn’t get the chance to fly up to The Big Apple in April to see any of the sold-out performances done as part of the Philharmonic’s spring gala. But it turns out we didn’t have to.
Folks wanting to see the revival can head to the Carmike Summit 16 and the Rave Motion Pictures at Lee Branch June 15 (tomorrow), 16, 19 or 21 and catch a screening of the adaptation (and some air conditioning too). You’ve got other options available to you here in Alabama (and all over the country) and they’re all included in this list of participating theaters.
“Lesbian” and “indigo” both have three syllables. The syllables are identically stressed. When I first heard them – les-bi-an, late 80s, walking home through the 3rd grade suburbs of old Vestavia; In-di-go, early 90s, in a church van, radio blasting, scruples flaring, girls pretending to French each other – they were both followed by snickers and dirty winks. I think that’s what did it for me. For a split second, I totally thought they meant the same thing, or that one implied the other, synonyms in a sinner’s vocabulary. Both words sounded so… exotic. So… earthy. Onomatopoetic even.
(which references North Georgia in the second line of the first song), is kind of incredible and how it just might be the best thing they’ve ever done, which I’ll tell her I really wouldn’t know much about because other than recognizing that one song from the church van, I don’t know anything about their music. I only own one of their records – that one, the newest one, and only a promotional download version at that, which cracks her up. “That’s refreshing,” she’ll say.
