Although the story often has to give way to the jokes, the jokes are funny, which saves the day. I really began to lose interest in the book. Absolutely loved the set up for this book and how these four talented authors made this into a seamlessly workable story that not only keeps your attention long enough to find out this isn't your usual set up but enticing enough to keep us wanting to know more Individually each of these four bring something to the table and we know it!

In , Sam Moran had filled in for Greg Page in the ever popular children's entertainment singing group The Wiggles more than times before stepping up as part of the official lineup from November January Would you believe that a famous actor would take advantage of his position to abuse people, take drugs, shag women and generally be a prat? I like the other two authors as well and they all have some amazing books. May 16, Susan rated it it was ok. Also, I was a little annoyed with the depiction of Sophie: while I know very clever children, she sounded more like a moody year-old than a little girl of seven, no matter how intelligent she was supposed to be. My thanks to Netgalley for possibly the worst book I've tried to read this year Several actors made their name in show business by being the understudy of a leading actor and taking the role over for several performances, including: Anthony Hopkins for Laurence Olivier , when Olivier became ill with cancer during the run of the National Theater's The Dance of Death , ; Ted Neeley for Jeff Fenholt during the Broadway run of Jesus Christ Superstar when Neeley was asked to star in the film version and subsequent tours; and Edward Bennett for David Tennant as Hamlet in the RSC's production. Language: English Korean. A fairly tight-knit group of four friends. Each and every one of the adults in this awful book are so horrible, it makes for really unpleasant reading. Stephen has two CVs: the one he shows people; and the one in his head, set in that parallel universe where he gets his big break and everything works out. I especially wondered how someone as apparently untalented as Stephen Q McQueen got to understudy a lead role on the West End. What surprises me is that this thing has been published at all.

Lists with This Book. Caught between his stirring feelings for Nora, the demands of an insistent and secretive Josh, and his lifelong desire for a real career in show business, Stephen must make a terrible decision: Will it be the girl or the fame? Worse, he blames "bad luck" for why he's such a sad sack, and has few redeeming characteristics otherwise. I think he captures the acting industry really well and he develops these really loveable characters and demonstrates his classic witty lines and ability to make really funny and relatable situations. I missed out large chunks in order to reach the end quicker b I thought this was a confusing, disjointed, completely unbelievable piece of writing from four authors who really should have known better. Cosmo Kramer Jason Alexander However this is not to say that any of them are bad or even weak, just that they are coming in to my head having to compete with the previous two seasons. Stephen has a dream. Peterman, who hires Elaine to work for the catalog. If there is no doubt about the health of the actor being covered, or there are no hazardous stunts to perform, a standby may be released at the first intermission, if not before.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter. All students who are interested 7O AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY in problems concerning the early churches along the Atlantic seaboard and the occupants of their pulpits are indebted to the labors of Dr. Frederick Lewis Weis and his invaluable compendiums on the clergymen and parishes of the various colonies.

  • Chatting with Evita's Christina Decicco, the 'Alternate Eva'
    Friday, June 29, 2012 DIVA TALK Chatting With Evita’s Christina DeCicco, the ‘Alternate Eva’ By ANDREW GANS For those like myself who like to catch as many different actresses playing the role of Evita as possible, there is some exciting news: For two weeks this summer former Wicked star Christina DeCicco will step into the title role of the Tony Award-nominated Broadway revival of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical at the Marquis Theatre. DeCicco, who normally performs the role twice weekly — Wednesday evenings and Saturday matinees — will play the late Eva Peron six performances a week July 12-19 and August (dates to be announced shortly) while Argentinian actress and Olivier winner Elena Roger films a movie (during those two weeks Jessica Lea Patty will be the Alternate Eva). (For the record, this diva lover has enjoyed the Evitas of Tony winner Patti LuPone, Derin Altay, Nancy Opel, Donna Marie Elio [now Asbury], Judy McLane, Natalie Toro, Felicia Finley, Elena Roger, and, come July 7, Ms. DeCicco.) Although DeCicco has only gotten to play the role about 20 times, her co-stars have lavished her with praise. Rachel Potter, who plays Peron’s Mistress, previously told me, “Christina is from New York. She’s an American through and through, and she brings such a different energy, but it’s so, so great, and I hope that more and more people will come see her because she’s fantastic....Her voice is stunning, and we’re all very, very proud of her because obviously being an alternate is never an easy job.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ami Bennitt 617‐797‐8267, [email protected] ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage Announces Royal Shakespeare Company Live Returning With Two Films LOVE’S LABOUR’S LOST and LOVE’S LABOUR’S WON Emerson/Paramount Center’s Bright Family Screening Room March and April, 2015 [BOSTON, MA – February 17, 2015] ArtsEmerson: The World On Stage announces RSC Live returning with two film screenings: William Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost (March 6‐8, 2015) and Love’s Labour’s Won also known as Much Ado About Nothing (April 24‐26, 2015) by the U.K.’s Royal Shakespeare Company. Screenings take place at the Emerson/Paramount Center’s Bright Family Screening Room (559 Washington Street in Boston’s historic theatre district). Tickets are $18 and may be purchased at ArtsEmerson.org or by calling 617.824.8400. Love’s Labour’s Lost Synopsis: Summer 1914. In order to dedicate themselves to a life of study, the King and his friends take an oath to avoid the company of women for three years. No sooner had they made their pledge than the Princess of France and her ladies‐in‐waiting arrived, presenting them with a severe test of resolve. Shakespeare’s sparkling comedy delights in championing and then unravelling an unrealistic vow, mischievously suggesting that the study of the opposite sex is in fact the highest of all academic endeavors. The merriment is curtailed only at the end of the play as the lovers agree to submit to a period apart, unaware that the world around them is about to be utterly transformed by a war to end all wars.
