Bernadette Peters to star in Kennedy Centers Follies

"If you want to see Cattrall do icy, check out her performance in The Ghost Writer."
Olivia Williams out-ices. But for someone I never thought of as playing my favorite character in the musical canon, the Cattrall news really intrigues me.

Gwen Verdon... why was Chicago her last Bdway show?

I could be totally wrong, but it was my understanding that she was suffering from arthritis even in the mid 70s. Plus, her voice was always a fragile instrument, even moreso as she aged.

Bettyboy, I loathe Wicked, but I'd watch a film version of Abie's Irish Rose if Peter Greenaway directed it.

RIALTO CHATTER: Brendan Fraser, Denis O'Hare & Jennifer Coolidge to Star in
Aug 11
2010, 03:51:05 PM
Jennifer Coolidge's performance in last year's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans should pretty much put a rest to accusations that she can only play comedy. She's only in a few scenes and is rarely Herzog's main focus in any of them, but she knocks her role as a pitiful drunk right out of the park. It's the kind of performance that would have been a sure Oscar contender had the film received better distribution. The movie itself is an exercise in pretension.

One of the classiest women who ever lived. Gave one of the greatest performances of the fifties opposite Andy Griffith and Walter Matthau in A Face in the Crowd.

Thanks for the recommendations. The Dragon Country DVD intrigues me because I thought she had entirely given up stage acting by that point. And The Goddess is hard to find and it always shows up on TV when I'm either away at school or at five in the morning.

I just rewatched Seance on a Wet Afternoon, the brilliant psychological thriller by Brian Forbes - a true master of that genre - and I was struck again by the understated brilliance of Richard Attenborough and particularly, Kim Stanley's incredibly taut performance. I've been fascinated by her ever since first seeing the film in high school, but outside of Seance, Frances and the fleeting glimpses of her Bus Stop performance in the Rick McKay documentary, it's difficult for those of us who came

@romgitsean: If Carroll's corpse didn't start spinning after Tim Burton's abortion of a movie, I doubt something as inconsequential as a Wildhorn musical will disturb it.

After being introduced to Sondheim via YouTube when I was about fifteen, a teacher of mine let me borrow his A Little Night Music and Sunday in the Park with George OBCs. The next week, I bought my first two: the Company and Follies OBCs.

I've been curious about Regina since I got into Blitzstein. Wish there was a good recording of Reuben, Reuben, but I'm thrilled to hear that Regina is finally available. Gives me an excuse to buy Juno as well.

When It Ends: Remembering Eartha Kitt

I had just posted this in another thread when I saw this one:
"I want you to play a young grapefruit."
"Yes maestro... Tell me one thing"
"Yes."
"Am I seedless?" - Mehitabel (Eartha Kitt) in Shinbone Alley.
My favorite Eartha Kitt moment. I've never heard the bootleg recording of this show, but I can just imagine Kitt's delivery.

I'd better restrict myself to musicals or this list would be ridiculously big:
"Dearest Miss Armfeldt, do regale us with more reminiscences from your remote youth." - Charlotte in A Little Night Music.
"I want you to play a young grapefruit."
"Yes maestro... Tell me one thing"
"Yes."
"Am I seedless?" - Mehitabel (Eartha Kitt) in Shinbone Alley.
"Forgive me for livin', but I never read it." - Mrs. Paroo in The Music Man.
