Host DNS Stuff

My hosting company deleted our website and account.  This was probably a good thing as they were (a) crap and (b) ripping us off.  So yesterday I got a new hosting package.

Trouble is it's still not working.  Hellp!!!

(a) I have the new hosting and email set up and have recreated our email accounts
(b) I have pointed the domain registration service I used (net solutions) to the name servers in the hosting company (i.e. NS1._Generic Webhosts_.COM)

I did step (b) this morning when I realised the email was still bouncing.

Have I missed anything out, or should the DNS issue resolve itself today and point at the new hosts and email servers as the day goes on?

EDIT:  All fixed.   The website is gone, but I can re-install that from the copy we have on our local home machine.

Young Frankenstein

Saw this at the Paramount in Seattle last night.  This is the pre-Broadway shake down of Mel Brooks latest adaption of one of his movies to the stage.  The full Broadway cast to be are in it and it's running for a month or so.  Apparently they often do this in Seattle, which made it interesting.  It was also slightly strange to see a production only in its second week.

There were a couple of rough edges and I'd say the first act is over long, but it's a surefire hit.  The set design practically upstages the acting with multiple sets used in extraordinary fast changes, and, this being Frankenstein - LOTS of Tesla coils.

Roger Bart plays Fredrik, we saw him last summer in The Producers - he's a good actor, excellent on stage and weird to have come across him first as the killer pharmacist in Desperate Housewives.  His openning number "There is nothing like a Brain", was probably his weakest.  A dream sequence "Family Business" was superb.  Megan Mullally plays Elizabeth and makes a huge impact in the second act.  Other note worthies, Christopher Fitzgerald as Igor was excellent, doing a really credible British accent based largely on Marty Feldman.  He doesn't quite have the eyes but otherwise he's excellent.  Finally, Sutton Foster as Inga was amazing, great voice, incredible legs and can do the splits.

There were a couple of jokes I thought were being practised, and a couple of occasions where the cast seemed a little unsure of themselves.  But I'd say Brooks has a hit on his hands.

On the subject of Mel Brooks, I was trying to work out how old he was the other day.  If his IMDB entry is accurate he's just turned 81.   He's been doing stage and movie work for over 50 years.
