Aging? What is this foreign idea you speak of?

If you're street smart, future-thinking and can minimize the effects of age, it's a career. A great one.

I find it disheartening that for a community who wants equality, we inner-discriminate to a point of absurdity.

Different strokes for different folks, I get that... But there's something to be said for HOW you turn someone down. It costs nothing to be gentle.

Saw this over the holiday weekend and it was everything I had hoped it would be: A true ensemble musical, well-sung, emotional, creatively staged and in the perfect space for the size of the production.

I hope it finds an audience. It's not glitz and glamour. It's heart and genuine storytelling.

As a Christie fan I enjoyed the film even though it was a remake of a remake.

 

Having been on the original Orient Express train overnight from Venice to Paris (almost exactly 24 hours), it was nice to see that the cars were faithfully reproduced, with the Lalique sconces and glass partitions. It was fun to be dressed in a tux for dinner (the food was extraordinary) and waiting in line for the bathroom - everyone literally in silk robes and jammies - got to know a few people. There was only a sink cabinet in the cabin.

My only problem was walking thru the Smoking Car to get to the Dining Car.

 

It was quite an experience - tho no murders.

The OE is quite extraordinary. I was lucky enough to ride from Paris to Istanbul: It was an awesome 11 days.

It's throwback experiences like these that really excite me about travel. Some, like the Concorde, are long gone but others still remain. While it was a much larger experience, I'd put an ocean crossing on Cunard right up there.

Like Funguy said, dressing up for several evenings and letting yourself play into the experience is a very fun thing

I agree and I’ve used StubHub many times to get great seats....

 

I’m just curious how they keep people from offering counterfeit tickets?

 

I mean..ok...I get my money back...but you still seriously screwed up my night.

 

Again, I’ve used them tons and never had a problem...

but I still hold my breath every time they scan my StubHub tickets at the door.

Good points, but it's also why I always choose the E-ticketing option. It's a lot tougher to fake that, especially when Stubhub requires the seller to provide the original email from Ticketmaster (or whomever they were bought from) as part of the transaction.

Branagh is one of the few classically trained actors we have left who's still doing a mix of film and stage. He's also one of the very few who's keeping the Bard in the spotlight on a regular basis.

His Macbeth was awesome. His Hamlet was eons better than the crap that Mel Gibson presented.

That people would hand cash money to someone on the street begs the question: How dumb can people be?

Stubhub, Ticketsnow (a division of Ticketmaster), etc all are viable ways for guaranteed aftermarket tickets.

No worries... I found his IP. He's not very smart about cloaking himself.

Guys like this (mistakenly) think that hiding behind their ISP will keep their trolling private. That's funny

Cultivating a group of clients who all share 'wanting a connection' as the common bond is what has made my time as an escort fantastic

I knew from very early on that this is what I wanted. It's not for everyone.

I hope ALW is paying you a handsome stipend for all of this promotion

When a script or the acting is weak, they insert a gag to keep people in the seats.

Send me his IP. I can handle the rest

I wasn't offended. But then again I can be a lil slow. Telling others what to do with their cash is a lil gouche. Some people like pineapple on their pizza and others dont. I happen to fall into the camp that does.

 

Hugs,

Greg

The show is nearly always on TDF and TKTS for those who have the access.

RCMH is a barn of a venue (with the sound and sightlines to match), but it's tradition for many.

You booked me this evening for 2 hours. I thank you for the opportunity to change your opinions of me. Although we had clear communication regarding time/location, I have to assume it was a purposeful No Show after 40 minutes of waiting. I don't think we should be in any sort of contact moving forward.

I post this here only to discredit your above statements of me as it appears your acting maliciously and vindictively.

No one seems to believe his bullshit anyway: Don't sweat it.

And if you really want to know more about this no-show, send me his email headers. I'd be glad to decipher his IP for you

You should have seen what I did to fix my tennis elbow

Quantum runs about as much RAM on a mac as Chrome (so basically, for a mac user, it's not really a gigantic step up).

However, for a PC user, it's a lot less bloated.

An inquiring mind here. I'm asking those of you that do not assess cancellation charges. If a new client has cancelled on 2 separate occasions, what do you do? Are they not to see you in the future? Is a deposit now required? Is each occurrence situational? I'm in the midst of changing some cancellation policies, and would love some guidance.

Two extended cancellations from the same guy, I'd take into consideration why he cancelled, but definitely require a deposit in the future. If he's serious about meeting, he'll have no problem with the deposit: You're a known, well-reviewed escort.

The only name I recognize is escort Rick Munroe's. I would understand more if a very old thread was very relevant in 2017.

And Rick's is a name I miss very much around here: He always added so much to the threads.

I saw this on Saturday night, 4th preview.

 

This is a must-see. Period.

 

The material itself has not changed (though the orchestrations and vocal arrangements have gotten a tasteful and artful facelift), but the setting is now much more "literal" and inventive. Get to your seats early and enjoy the improvised pre-show, complete with goings-on like Alex Newell cooking a jambalaya-ish dish right onstage (I was sitting in that section and the aroma was quite inviting lol). I don't want to give away too much about the look/concept of the show, but I will say it works wonderfully well. This is about as far away as one can get from the more idealized, picturesque 1990 Broadway version, but IMO it's much more effective.

 

Though many will come for the "names" - certainly Lea Salonga, and the aforementioned Newell, and a few others, this is already a very strong, very tight ensemble cast - yes, Salonga and Newell are terrific, but so is every person on that stage. (And even the goat. Yes, that's what I said.) The two roles cast against their original gender (Newell as Asaka, the embodiment of "Mother Earth" and Merle Dandridge as Papa Ge, the spirit of death) are a revelation - played very honestly, not for camp's sake - I should also mention that Newell sings "Mama Will Provide" in the original key, and nails it.

 

The two young leads (Hailey Kilgore, after a nationwide search, as Ti Moune, and Isaac Powell as Daniel) do beautiful work. Philip Boykin and Kenita Miller are perfectly cast as Ti Moune's parents. I did see one understudy on - T. Oliver Reid filling in for Quentin Earl Darrington as Agwe - but I can't imagine anyone better. Emerson Davis as the little girl was adorable - sometimes it was a bit hard to understand her lyrics, but so be it. I also want to mention Alysha Deslorieux, who, as Andrea, has one of the most challenging characters to play - but she played the character with a dignity and grace that made it very hard to hate Andrea for her somewhat villainous role in the story.

 

I am one of those people that has become very cynical about the proliferation of the "automatic standing ovation" - but I have to confess I was one of the first people (of those that I could see, at least) who jumped to their feet at the curtain call. I was that excited and moved. And the show really is that good.

 

Go see this!

Thanks for the review! I see this in the next couple weeks. Very much looking forward to it

If you're that concerned about the cents that a text message may cost you, perhaps you might want to rethink hiring escorts altogether

I'd rather keep a great body AND eat carbs.

It can be done with the right trainer, the right carbs and an overwhelming love of a stair machine.

I believe Ebay.UK sells the original.... and many of the vendors have US warehouses they ship it from. But i'll gladly cum over and do your laundry..... all you have to do is walk around NEKKID.....o_Oo_O

You'll do my laundry if I walk around naked? Hell, that's a deal. I already walk around naked (or mostly naked) everyday. The laundry is just a bonus.

I don't even require my whites and colors separated.

Sweety, leave it to Grandma JJ.... you can get Persil on EBAY

Yep, and on Amazon too. The German formulas are superior to what they introduced in the States.
