Thanks everyone for the welcome notes and help with KG's column......
You probably have all been over this already but for this "re-Newbie" what
is on his concert these days? I last saw him around the time Oscar and
Steve came out.
Has anyone seen him on stage other than in solo performance? (Has he done
any of that lately?) I was just thinking with his larger than life
personality and the immense intensity he brings to the stage that it must
take quite a formidable talent to hold his/her own with him and not be
swallowed up. The depth and vibrance of his performance could make almost
anyone else seem pale and shallow in comparison.

There was indeed (and this is truly MP related, too)! In the paperback, the
publisher got cold feet about my quoting a MP song, and made me rework it so
that the lyric was only referred to. Grrr.

CH came in a very respectable 38th - given the fact that it premiered
opposite Frasier (#2 in the ratings) that is actually pretty great. It's
also a huge improvement over the overall ratings from last season.
Personally I thought 38 was awesome! Mary

Don't feel too bad - you didn't miss much. Elmo did mention Mandy, said he
was funny and again said how he had trains on the set. That was about it
though. No clip of him either - just muppets.

Just a fleeting mention of his 'wonderful talent' and that he had his

I just knew you unruly bunch wouldn't play fair! Now...don't you think it
would be interesting to try and piece together the women Mandy's been
interested in? OK...how about this? If we figure out who they were, then we
can all be more like them. Maybe that will make you more interested.

I got "The Best of Act One" and love it.
He does a duet with himself to "Lily's Eye's." My husband asked if that's

Warlow does a perfect "This is the Moment." What a voice...what a range.

I got "The Best Of Act One" too and I think that it is
wonderful. He's got a nice strong voice, which can
perform a range of characters but it's different from
Mandy's, so you can't really compare the two.

If anyone is looking for "Lulu on the Bridge" you might try Wherehouse as
that's where I found a copy. Blockbuster didn't have it. Suncoast was
willing to sell me a copy for $70. Ha!
Warning, as Sue has mentioned, it's minimal Mandy. Much more "what the heck
was that about" even than "Music" which is an action feature compared to
this.
Plus the wardrobe person should be shot. Mismatched, frumpy sweater vests on
our guy over checked shirts while Karvey Keitel gets to run around half
nekkid. Ugh. Ok, there was a small scene in tight bluejeans but you really
had to freeze frame to get the impact.
Other than that..... enjoy ;)

I don't have this particular album because I've got all the stuff on it on =
other CDs, but unless he re-recorded "Lily's Eyes" especially for "Best =
of", he's not doing a duet with himself. In the Australian production, =
Neville was played by Philip Quast. I've made myself somewhat unpopular on =
the Warlow list on occasion (oh shutt up, everybody!) by asserting that =
the Australian highlights recording is inferior to the Broadway one mostly =
*because* Anthony and Philip do sound so similar. In that regard I much =
prefer the contrasts between Mandy's voice and Westenberg's - not just the =
ranges but the textures.=20
Quast is another reasonably obscure but extraordinary talent. "Les Mis" =
fans will know him as Javert both on the International Cast recording and =
the 10th Anniversary concert special that was on PBS. Absolutely riveting. =
Also, I've heard a b--tl-g of his performance in "SITPWG" in London, and =
in that he sounds amazingly Mandylike. It's a shame that, blessed as he is =
with that voice, unlike Mandy and Anthony he chooses not to record solo =
albums.
>Warlow does a perfect "This is the Moment." What a >voice...what a range.
One of the things I really like about him is how effortlessly all that big =
sound just pours out of him, and that he *sounds* like he loves to pour it =
out. But at the same time he's in perfect control.
>I haven't finished watching "The Main Event" tape but he is >so smooth...t=

They are very different kinds of performers. I'm very sure that Anthony is =
much more reserved, both in performance style and personality-wise, though =
he seems to be adorably down-to-earth and whimsical in a less all-out way =
than MP. One of my favorite bits on the obligatory b--tl-g Warlow-TV-appear=

pieces, and every time she says, "Do I add the chocolate now?" he says, =
"No, that's for you" and makes her eat some. (There really is no chocolate =
in the recipe. :)) While I enjoy "The Main Event" (in fact, it's on my =

what I would ideally like to see Warlow do. (Which would be, say, "Pirates =
of Penzance", in my living room.) But I like that, even though I'm sure he =
knows he's sorta "slumming" and that the songs he does are beneath him (in =
comparison with what he does on his albums) , he never gives the impression=

Here's an article about Kathryn Grody, with a brief MP mention! It ran in
this week's Reston TIMES. Only one editorial comment from me.
Brenda
A Mom's Life at RCC
Manhattan actor takes Reston's CenterStage
Kathryn Grody has just returned to her Manhattan apartment after being held
up at the mechanic's. It's a cloudy, drizzly, humid day -- the kind that
hangs a fog over your head.
Grody is on the phone, while her husband, Mandy Patinkin, fumbles around in
the background.
Grody is an actor, an author, and a playwright. Patinkin, a Broadway and
movie actor, is a regular on CBS's CHICAGO HOPE. Together they are parents.
"Will you please be home for dinner at 6:30?" she asks her husband as he
walks out the door. Her voice exudes the wisdom from a thousand
conversations just like this, and the kindness of a wife and mother.
Grody has spent the last eight years performing as a mother first, actor second.
Her performanc, "A Mom's Life," was initially published as a book written by
Grody with the same name. It is the story of an average mom, with a
2-year-old, a 7-year-old, and a husband who is taken out of the hosue by
work, but emotionally pulled in by the family.
As Grody explains, it encompasses the joy, confusion, ambivalence and
disarray that being a mother can bring. Written from her own experiences
with motherhood, along with what she observes and what she wonders about,
Grody brings "A Mom's Life" to the stage simply because, she says, it's
rarely done. "It's staggering that everybody in their life passes a nursery
or a kitchen, and what happens there affects people," Grody says. She added
that when she began her show, performing at the Public Theater in NYC, it
was thought to be radical that an entire performance could focus on the
"domestic story."
"It is dramatic, tragic, comedic -- it's everything," Grody said with a calm
and warmth that mothers acquire from years of Band-Aid applications, Big Mac
nights, and state capital memory games. Grody's show also embraces the
thought that it's okay not to have children. She wants to show her own
feminine perspective on why she chose to have children although others may not.
But at the end she gives advice: "If you have one inkling of a thought to
have children, do."
"A Mom's Life" by Kathryn Grody, will play at the Reston Copmmunity
Theater's CenterStage, 2310 Colts Neck Road, Reston. Oct. 2 at 8 pm.
Tickets are $10, call (703) 476-4500.
