Good Tunes, Great Concert – Lucky Kentucky Concert Tour

May 29, 2008

As a film critic, it isn’t often that I see a pop concert-turned-movie that I’m actually excited about. Well, all that has changed with the Lucky Kentucky Concert Tour movie.

Now, I don’t know about you, but I have heard a lot about Miss Lucky Kentucky in the last year. She has launched a TV show, filmed a whole other movie and come out with two CDs. My fellow reporter, Gossip Queen, can hardly stop writing about her.

Young Composer Singing Pretty

May 29, 2008

Musik Lee, HandiLand’s best composer just debuted his opus – a whole Opera! It took him two years two write the whole thing. The story? Two star-crossed lovers on a star-shaped island, of course!

“I am so excited,” he says. “I cannot wait to hear an orchestra and some singers actually perform this!”

The Gossip Queen, who has always wanted to write a few ditties of her own, asked Musik Lee for some advice on how to make my own opera dreams come true.

“Work on it every day, every single day, and don’t get discouraged. Somebody’ll pay attention to what you’re doing, no matter how long it takes. It took me a while but I’m finally there!”

So, what’s next for HandiLand hero Musik?

“I want my opera performed – I’m thinking the HandiLand Metropolitan Opera House would be a great place!”

I know I won’t be the only one singing his praises. Your truly,

XOXO

Broadway Baby Burned by Cast List

May 29, 2008

The cast list for “Extravaganza” went up on the Great White Way this week and Liza Garland, a singer, dancer and actor who’s been trying to her the lead in the musical for years, was disappointed again! Her friends call her Broadway Baby – that’s how much she dreams of stardom on the musical theatre stage.

This week, those dreams will have to last a little longer. She was cast in “Enchanted” as Dancer #5. Ouch!

“It’s okay,” Liza says outside the stage door of the Tappers Theatre. “There’s nothing I can do but strap on my shoes and keep going! I’ll get that lead, I know I will.”

The Gossip Queen, for one, wishes her all the luck in the world. “Are you going to go sulk into a tub of ice cream?” I asked her.

“Not at all!” She strapped on her tap shoes and did a little dance right there on the street. “Tomorrow is another day and another day means another audition! I love it!”

That’s it for now,

XOXO
