Help for Broadway?

This turbulent economy has hit almost every entity, including Broadway. I have been reading lately, on how many Broadway shows have closed due of course to the economy.

Saturday Night Live did a skit on the poor sales of Broadway Shows, this past Saturday, and it was hilarious. Neil Patrick Harris was so funny, as well as the SNL cast, and Taylor Swift as Annie was a hoot.

Not sure if anyone saw it, so I wanted to share, as at lease we can start our day with a smile.

Enjoy!

Lynn D said...

Morning Zona!

I would love to stay and warm my cockles but I am on a mission today.

How to gather staples and then the challenge of shipping them to Alaska.

Watch out nothing like a mission!

scirish said...

Zona.....LOL I'm gonna have warm WHAT??? Naw...I'm not gonna go there...it's too early for porn...

scirish said...

Lynndeeee...I must not be with it this morning...it took me a while to figure out why you were sending staples to Alaska....

Birdee said...

Good Freakn' Freezn' Morning
Scirish, LynnD, Zonababyyyyy!!!!!

Did ya'll see where it said it's colder in Alabama than Alaska right now???? WTHF??!!!!!

Birdee said...

Carol, Funny skit! Thanks for the laugh's.

Birdee said...

Zona, since I seem to be missing the marches during the day, I figured 2am seemed like a good time to try. Been awhile since I've been up that late/early.

Birdee said...

Look's like no laundry will be getting done today either, pipe's are still frozen.

scirish said...

birdee....maybe you should blow dry them so they don't burst????

RonnieGirl said...

Good morning, and Congrats scirish on first.
Waving a wing to Lynn, Zona and Birdee.

Sorry about your pipes, Bird..got a rub-board?

I love your exclamation point overload, Zona. Too cute

My cockles are finally warm down here, just hope everyone up north stays warm today.

I enjoyed reading the march to ten this morning. Tina, Birdee and Jax, you all are so funny.

#17, Shirley..
(See Carol, I didn't cheat this morning and turn into a 'jooch'.

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!

Scrishy, your #1 count is going to be hard to beat!! Congrats

Great blog Carol and i loved the video. I wanted to watch last week and I forgot- so thanks!

Early morning porn? Warm cocks? Oh wait, it was cockles....

It is a balmy 12 ABOVE 0 today!!!! I might live dangerously and not wear pantyhose under my jeans today and wear regular socks instead of my smart wool!!!
Wahoo..........

RonnieGirl said...

Morning Goldie~

Yeah, gotta keep those cockels warm.

Carol the video was funny. I really like Neil Patrick Harris.

Thanks for sharing.

scirish said...

Ronnie...A rub-board??? Is that like a massage table??? And what does it have to do with pipes????

MEK in AZ said...

RonnieGirl said...

I just got home from Wal Mart, and what a pleasure to shop in a clean place with not many customers so early.

MEK in AZ said...

Happy Saturday morn!!

First of all - it's TOO early to be up- but I have somewhere to be!!

Second of all - every channel has "paid programing" on it.. WTH..

Third -

Scirish - congrats on FIRST!!

waving howdy to Scirish, Lynn D, Zona, Birdee, Ronnie, Goldie and all who land..

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

RonnieGirl said...

scirish...lol

That's one of those things you stick in a bucket and rub your clothes on to wash. I bet it beats a rock on the side of a river....

Morning MEK~ Did you really wear flip-flops and shorts. My favorite outfit.

scirish said...

Goldie...Congrats on your 12 above....It's minus 9 here and I have so many clothes on that I look like the Pillsbury Doughboy!

MEK in AZ said...

cpgem - Thank you for sharing that clip - I saw it last week and thought it was hilarious!!

RonnieGirl said...

I don't know how you all survive this cold weather. Just stay warm today and stay inside.

MEK in AZ said...

Ronnie - YES, I really DID wear shorts and flip-flops yesterday!!

The resturant we went to had the AIR CONDITIONER on - so it was a bit cold in there....... AC in January - that's just NOT right!!

It's a little chilly right now -but Mr. Mek just left to play golf in shorts and no jacket......

isn't it great to shop when noone is there??!!

RonnieGirl said...

It was great, MEK...they even were just finishing buffing the floors. Place looked better than I've seen it in a long time.

RonnieGirl said...

30

Be back in a little while...

Waving to everyone who lands later.

RonnieGirl said...

Oh, Birdee-Brrrr

I love your little snowbird avatar. Even better than your
New Years drunken chicken.

Too cute.

RonnieGirl said...

I guess I put everyone back to bed. See you later.

Zona said...

BIRDEEEEE!!! I love seeing you up, no matter what the hour!!

LYNND: I had to think a minute about 'staples' too...wondering if there were lots of papers flying around loose in Alaska!! ;)

RONNNIE!!: Great to see the one and only skeet-erfly!! I missed you, pretty lady!!! :) :)

GOLDIE: Smart wool?? Dare I ask??

G'morning MEK!! :D

goldie said...

Scrishy, it is going to get all the way to 21 today. I opened the door this morning to let Pepper out to pee and fetch the paper, and it was like a heat wave compared to the -45 windchill yesterday! It is snowing a bit now though. Its one thing or another.

MEK- SHORTS? Why don't you just drive a stake thru my heart?? LOL

goldie said...

Zona- it wicks up moisture so your feet don't get cold. So if they get sweaty you dont freeze to death. Cost more than regular, but worth every penny- not itchy and pretty light weight too. Great for boots.

Zona said...

GOLDIE: We don't get much call for wool socks down yonder in these here parts..so I really didn't know what it was! Thank you!! :)

Zona said...

I'm off to bed! I hope everyone's cockles stay nice and warm today!

G'night... :)

Zona said...

LYNND: I hope your mission is successful!

scirish said...

Goldie....Minus 45???? Holy Cow!!!! I would need a hell of a lot more than Smart Socks to survive that!!!

scirish said...

40!

MEK in AZ said...

Goldie - (and all in the freezing weather) - please forgive me.. yes, we are having temps in the 70's.

I will wear shoes and socks today, just for you all!!!

:-)

okay - I really must go - I've got myself running late now..

scirish said...

Ok....Off to take my shower now...If I can figure out how to do it without taking off my clothes!!!

ibebold said...

Good Morning Owlettes!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I survived another night out in the cold ... only 2 more to go... if I don't get sick it will be amazing!!!!


Scirish... Congrats on 1st!!!AGAIN!!!

LynnD...2nd...Good luck on your mission... I know you will be successfull...

MORNING... BIRDEE....... Ronnie!!!!!!!!!!

I have missed you girls...

Good marching in the weeeee early hours!!!!

I just got my first wood stove burn of the year... and right on my thumb knuckle... putting wood in... it got jammed and sent my thumb right into the doorway top.... ouch!!!!

Morning Zona... MEK...
It is jsut somethign wrong hearing about shorts and flip flops right now...
hey MEK weren't you just scraping ice last week...?????

And ..MEK... have you been getting my E-mails... none from you since last thursday???? I mean like the 8th???


Goldie... I have some of those socks... they are a life saver this week....


Hope everyone has a warm day....

Waving a wing at all who land after me...

whabbear said...

HI, IBB!

Carol, I LOL"d at the video... especially the character who was giving massages behind a Thai restaurant... with her mouth!

Keep warm, Easterners... Lil Ol' Me just e-mailed that Jesup, Iowa set a record low of -34!

Just_Lin said...

Good morning/afternoon, Hooters!

scirish Wow! You made it in first, frozen fingers and all!

LynnD Shouldn't Alaska's governor being doing something about those poor villages? Shouldn't it be like a state of emergency or something?

Carol I totally enjoyed that skit! Very clever and so funny! Thanks for the laughs this morning.

hartldo said...

Hi Owls! I'm taking a break from the nursing home today. Mr. Hart needed the van all day and his car doesn't have heat. Thought I needed some daughter time, housework time and ME time! Totally enjoying it and appreciating it.

Goldie: I just read your comment from the other day about the site called CaringBridge. I DO, in fact, know about this site because I get updates about a friend of mine, whose son is battling cancer. I actually registered and made a profile for Dad but then never did any more with it. I just haven't had the strength to deal with it.

Loved this skit on SNL. I saw it when it was on. Hubby didn't "get it" but I thought it was so cute and funny!

Getting ready to lie on the couch and watch Ellen on QVC. She's selling pet products at 3pm.

Thank you ALL for your continued support and prayers. I've been trying to catch up on blogs and comments today and your words have all been so kind.

Remember to PUSH! (Pray until something happens.

Just_Lin said...

Birdee When you're done washing clothes on the rub board (wash board), you can play it in a jug band! LOL

Mary/MI said...

JustLin, wow, they finally found some use for my "jugs", though it sounds like it could be a little painful lol!

Scirish, did you jump in the shower, with or with out your cloths!

Goldie,amen to that! "driving steak through our hearts"!

Mr. Mary just stepped in to warm up from shoveling snow, and I am sure his cockles were frozen bwah ha ha!!

Mary/MI said...

My sister in Texas called a few minutes ago. First thing she said was "are you alright", then she giggled. She had dialed the wrong number first. She asked for "Mary". they said "Oh we are sorry Mary passed away an hour ago". Once my sister composed herself, she realized she had the wrong number! Of all the names. What are the odds that happening lol!
I will let you know if I pass lol!

Mary/MI said...

correction,I told my sister "I will let you know if I pass!

Sandie said...

Congrats on first, Scirish!

Carol, thanks for the laugh today! I love Neil Patrick Harris! He's such a cutie.

Good heavens! My cockles are cold today, too!

Mary, LOL at your sister! That must have been quite unnerving at first!

Today is our Anniversary (22 years) so we're going out to dinner tonight. Then we'll come home and re-warm our cockles! ;)

Tina~in_ut said...

seriously Mary~ how are you going to let your sister know? :D

Tina~in_ut said...

scirish~ congrats on first~

Zona~ :D

Sandie~ happy anniversary~ I really don't want details, tho, on your re-warming of your cock-les later~ :)~

LynnD~ that's so sweet of you to help out Sarah~ Ur a nice lady~

Brrrrrdie~ are you cold?

OH....and LynnD~ I'm SOOOO excited for Tuesday? Are you? We can go to Macy's or Nordie's to get free makeup cuz of that class-action suit! :D

Tina~in_ut said...

oh duh~ care-whore~ cute blog~ I saw SNL last week.....i loved Rent and NPH was cute in it~ Watch tonight cuz Rosario Dawson will be on~

Birdee said...

J/L, Ronnie, I have been spared from having to use a wash board!!


It's still below freezing here and the thought of using a blow dryer, like Lois did, was not thrilling me at all. ;o) I think she has more stamina than I do. Soooo, I turned my dryer on for about an hour to warm up the room. Can't say for sure that's what helped, but, I'll go with it. ha!

Now, who is going to play the Kazoo in the band? We'll need someone to blow on the jug's too.
Who is up for that??? LOL

Damn, now I have to work on the laundry! ;o(

Sandie said...

Tina, LOL! Come on, you know you want details!

Birdee said...

Hey Tina! Yep...still cold as hell here! But, at least it's not snowing!

Mary/MI said...

Sorry, about all the noise. It's so cold that I had to put on shoes to climb up here today.
~
Ahhhhhh, nice to be in a warm cozy nest.
~
If only Birdee would quit flipping that snow off her back on me, and Mo would stop poking me with that giant finger. Which finger is that anyway, Mo? ;)
~
LMAO at the video Caw-ruhl! That was great!
~
Too bad Ronnie had to sit in front to of me while we were watching it. Those dang big bird brows of hers obstructed my view. Next time, I'm getting here early so I can be in the front row! :)

Bebbilane said...

Hi Jax!

Just_Lin said...

Gee, I missed all the fun.

Kgrl is blowing on Mary's giant jugs.

Kgrl2 Maybe you could have warmed up "Birdee's" pipes, as well. :)

TinaHO Actually turned down a chance to hear intimate details about Sandie's anniversary "celebration". That must be a first!

Jax I think we were using Ronnie's eyebrows as antennas for better reception.

Bebbilane said...

Hi J/L!

hartldo said...

OMG Mary! How weird that your sister called that wrong number!
So glad you didn't "pass".

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Sandie & Mr. Sandie!!!

MARY...I'm so glad you failed, I mean didn't pass!!

IBB...I hope your tips were better last night.

DONNA...I'm glad you are taking some YOU time. And even gladder (!) you are sharing some of your YOU time with the nest!

CAROL...I actually saw that part of SNL last week. I thought it was hilarious!! Thanks for the blog.

hartldo said...

Just wanted to tell y'all that my mom just called me and told me that my sister finally got yelled at by Dad today. He has only been yelling at my mom and at me. I guess today was her turn. He told her that she hasn't done anything to help him and she's good for nothin'. I just hate it that he's still saying things like this. I hate it that we all have to endure this. But I will say, taking today off has given me the rest I need to go back to it again tomorrow.

night.owls.sb said...

Ronnie:

Sandie:
Happy Anniversary.. Congrats and Enjoy!

Just_Lin said...

Carol Did you find anything at Lane Bryant that you just couldn't live without? I enjoyed Juno. I hope you do, too. Did you know that the woman who wrote it, Diablo Cody, was an exotic dancer? That's right, kind of porn-ish. LOL

Tina~in_ut said...

goldie said...

Happy Anniversary Sandie and Mr. Sandie!!!

Hope you peeps are having a good night. I am in the middle of a dilema that I think I need your advice on. I'll let you know tomorrow, I just don't have the energy tonight.

Just_Lin said...

Goldie Sometimes we really just need to "sleep on it". Maybe you will have your own answer in the morning. (((HUGS)))

Tina~in_ut said...

Goldie~ Just hit him....it always works for me! :)~

Just_Lin said...

Tina LOL LOL LOL

Tina~in_ut said...

Hi J/L~ kinda thought you'd like that~

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem.....but i'm cold!~

Just_Lin said...

We aren't getting enough rain. I had to water the front lawn today. I also washed my car because a large raccoon left muddy footprints all over it.

Lynn D said...

Evening Owls,

It is amazing how hard it is to get goods from our state to outer areas of Alaska with out it costing a fortune. Tho it costs less than what the people there would pay even with shipping.

JustLin: You would think the Governor would be jumping on this but not so much.

Tina: I am not trying to be rude or political but I am not helping Sarah Palin. She does not seem to think that people freezing and running out of food supplies is an emergency. Actually there has been little response from the Governor of Alaska it is the greater community in Alaska and bloggers that are organizing aid.

The story is a long one and is a confluence of many things the Alaskan government was warned about last July. That the perfect storm was coming for these native villages and they ignored the warning. Well it is here.

My concern is the children and elderly in those villages going without heat and food. Enough said for me.

Alaska needs to come up with a comprehensive plan for these people but the crisis is now. Get the basic needs met now and let the finger pointing be saved for later before someone dies.

Off Soapbox.

Came home feeling sniffly and snuffly I think I may have gotten to close to Carol and Sacbarb. I might be getting the snotting crud!

Bebbilane said...

Jax: You sure can borrow them, they are all warm and fuzzy! :)

Donna: You needed the break so bad I am sure and it does sounds like it was your sister's turn. I hope that you feel rested and up to handle tomorrow. I can hear the anguish in your writing and wish the best for you and your dad. I am so sorry that it is so tough right now. You are one strong lady to be handling it as well as you do!

Mary/MI said...

Just passing by, thank goodness not passing away lol!

Carol, we are getting free HBO this week end. I watched the "Bucket List", & "Things I lost in the fire", or something like that lol! I am now watching " Moscow on the Hudson".
It snowed all day today and it will be snowing all week.I am beyond having"Cabin Fever"!
Have a good night everyone...back to my movie marathon lol!

MEK in AZ said...

Goldie - please forgive me - I wore shoes and socks for you today - put on blue jeans...

and had to turn on the AC in the car...

It's so hard to believe that all across the nation - people are freezing to death and we are having above 70 degree weather!!

sorry!!!

MEK in AZ said...

125

ibebold said...

No fair MEK....

our high was 23 today...
yesterday our high was 18...

tomorrow we are having a heat wave... high of 39....

ibebold said...

tips were no better the last 2 nights either... I don't understand...

ibebold said...

Hope you all have a good night.. and a great Sunday!!!!

hartldo said...

Thank you for your kind words Bebbi! Thank you to EVERYONE for your love, prayers and support! You've all been here for me when I haven't even been around. I so appreciate my nest of friends.
