Subject: Re: Vacation Days (was:  Request for Fruvous dreams or stories)

Just thought I'd share, that I will be taking my first Fruvous vacation next
month.  I'll be hitting the Michigan Theatre show and then heading to Frucon. 
I'm so excited!!!  My friends all think I'm nuts.  Well, except for Cheryl, who
took a two week BNL vacation last August.

(And, yes, I was trying to convince her to move to Toronto.  What she didnt
share, is that she actually thought about for a couple seconds.)

<<I remember that show!  Wasn't it hosted my Mark Something? The guy who hosted
Double Dare.  And there was a talking computer.  And I remember once that in
order to get the computer to shut up, Mark told it to find a word that rhymed
with "orange>>

   No... that was "What Would You Do"? Hosted by Mark Summers. Whatever
happened to that dude anyway?

Betsy stated:

Then Neil stated:
<<But you cannot beat Salute Your Shorts. >>

   Accckk. 
   Now we're all getting into reminiscing. I swear, January's always the time
for looking on the past.
   Anyway, yes, I remember those. And I know trivial facts about them too, like
the guy who played Mr. Ernest was in Forrest Gump and then Melody was Marsha in
the Brady Bunch movie. The girl who played Ugg's girlfriend Mona also does the
voice of Chuckie for Rugrats.
   Speaking of Rugrats, who here remembers the original Nicktoons? Ren &
Stimpy, Doug, and Rugrats.... now they have too many to count. Gah.
   --Rai-Marie, who feels like she's forgetting a Nicktoon....

Sara so helpfully said:

>Canadian - Toronto to be specific.  Featuring the wonderful Jeff Hyslop (who 
>later went on to be the Phantom of the Opera - I could never picture that!) 
>as a mannequin in a department store (modelled I believe after the 
>now-defunct Simpson's store). 

Oh thank you thank you!   I too loved this show -- probably more than Andrew
did!  :D

And I agree that it seemed to be Simpson's.

But I could easily see him as the Phantom.  Jeff Hyslop certainly haw the dance
skills and vocal ability, and he completely became the character, giving even a
mannequin considerable nuances, so I wouldn't see him having a problem shedding
the sweetness and light of mannequin-Jeff for something more adult and
sinister.  

(As I recall, he got *really* good reviews as the Phantom.)   

> Jeff was a special mannequin

indeed he was!!!   :)

in fact, Jeff's open, child-friendly, wondering and playful manner (and mop of
dark curls) bring someone else to mind ... 

 because as long 
>as he wore a magic hat, he came to life - but take the hat away and he was a 
>mannequin again.
>
>Also in the store was Jody (I think?) who wore a horrible pink jumper suit, 
>and worked the night shift creating displays in the toy store.  

yes yes, and when Jeff lost his hat she had to look out after him.  There was
usually some grave misadventure that had to be resolved.  ;)  

Then there 
>was Sam, the night inspector (he was a puppet type character).

and he had the best lines!

  And of 
>course Muffy, who was a mouse who lived in the wall.

now SHE made my teeth grate.  eek.

>And my gosh, I can't believe I remember all those names!  Most of the 
>adventures took place throughout the store, with some outside the store.  
>There was also an annoying mime that they used to fill up time.

ah yes.  the lowlight of the show.

Thanks Sara!  Maybe now I can de-earworm the music -- or at least be happier
with it playing in my head.

<<FALCON RIDGE is always held the 4th weekend in July. That'll be July 21, 22,

Late to the game as usual (and still trying to catch up with all these
confounded posts!!!)  I see by the area code that this takes place in
Connecticut, (at least that's where the tickets go on sale!) but I haven't
heard about it.  What and where is this?  Thanks for some info,
