> [@anyrose](#): > > are you a producer? or a director? or are you actually performing in all 3? Just don’t mix them up. They’re 3 different styles. As **twickster** said, I music direct. This fall I’m music directing at two high schools and playing in the pit for a community theater production. I try to not get them confused, but I definitely rely on my stage managers to help me remember things on occasion. ---

I’d like to offer _1776_ to **Sampiro** first, as I’m certain he’d do a better job, but if he passes I’ll take it! ---

I PMed him, in case he’s not watching the thread too carefully. Any others you might be interested in, if you don’t take _1776_? ---

A traditional review or critical analysis isn’t necessary – and, on the weeks where no one volunteers and I end up doing it, will be nowhere in evidence. 😉 Basically it’s just starting the thread and linking to it from this thread. **Sampiro** – _Moulin Rouge!_ c’est votre. _Chicago_ 10/1 _Meet Me in St. Louis_ 10/15 OP: **lissener** \*Moulin Rouge! \*11/1 OP: **Sampiro** _New York, New York_ 11/15 _Pennies from Heaven_ 12/1 OP: **lissener** _Seven Brides for Seven Brothers_ 12/15 _Stormy Weather_ 1/1 \*1776 \*1/15 OP: **Sampiro** ---

I just ordered my copy of _Chicago_ so I should have it in time to give it a refresher viewing before October 1. If nobody else is interested in doing the OP for that I’d be willing to give it a shot. And since I ordered the deluxe edition which includes a bunch of extras, I could even include some info on those if anyone’s interested. ---

**anyrose** , if for some reason my copy doesn’t show up in time (I just ordered it yesterday and opted for the free shipping which they said takes five to ten business days) I’ll let you know and you can take it. ---

Oops. Was looking forward to settling in and watching _Chicago_ tonight in preparation for next week – huh. Could have sworn I owned a copy. Oh well. So I watched _Kiss Me Kate_ instead. 😃 ---

My copy of _Chicago_ arrived a few days ago. I haven’t watched it yet, because I have another project I need to finish and I didn’t want to get sidetracked. But I’m looking forward to watching it Monday or Tuesday. ---

I just finished typing up a quick draft, which I’ll be tweaking and posting in a few minutes. Things got busier than I thought they’d be the last few days, and I didn’t get a chance to watch it again until this afternoon. ---
