Lucky you!...one of the greatest 11 o'clock numbers ever...if the show had been successful it would have been a great standard...Try and emulate the wonderful Dorothy Louden...not imitate but replicate her extraordinary emotional rendition..she never received sufficient a claim.

Parade Concert at Lincoln Center

Maybe it is a blessing to be 93 and slightly deaf...It filters the mechanical difficulties..and what remains is pure joy...The great Brown work presented with incredible performances..supported with magnificent musicians to the power of of two hundred singers was breathtaking!
In my 85 years of frequent theater going, this was one of the top experiences.

Vintage Band Wagon

Encore!s Band Wagon is sensational...saw it on stage in1931 yes. 1931).. It was a revue....the movie with a satiric Comden/Green story line was released in 1954..this interpretation maxiimizes the best from both productions which is the primary intention of Encores....recalling forgotten songs from the original and.adding additionall closet Schwartz/Dietz beauties was an added gift..the cast was perfection...where oh where was Ben B when all of this as going on?

What is your own personal

The so called Golden Age was long in quantity..but evey decade produced its Golden Moments starting with Show Boat in the twenties ...Of Thee I Sing in the thirties..Carousel in the forties..My Fair Lady in the fifties..right through modern times with the revival of Follies.,which in 80 years of theater going, I consider
The most creative musical of all times..a completely eclectic score and a totally original book....

Have seen every major ,and most minor musicals ,during the last 80 years..never more surprised and blown away as I was last night....25 dollars compares to 25 cents in the thirties..Fifth row off the center aisle..Encores are to be congratulated for bringing such a brilliant production to the New York scene...at a time when most of us are devastated by sheer greed (Matilda is charging 168 dollars this Fall))!
I loved the enormity of the theater which was bursting to the seams during th

For those of you who live in the city, do you see EVERY show?

I have lived in NYC FOR Over 91 years.....your story is so encouraging...with prices prohibitive it is minded boggling..Have seen many thousand shows since
The early thirties..and many repeats..but my attendance doesn't approach your outstanding record.
Tthe future of the theater is in good hands, and I am so happy!

Predict a highly successful tour..saw it several times and the all age audience loves it..a delightful score....a star performance..a bit of history that gives the book credibility..pity the critics were unable to judge it's universal appeal.

So why wasn't Patti in Les Miz on Bway?
Nov 28
2012, 09:41:51 PM
Patti sang early on and was magnificent ..as is the song From then on the show became a spectacle..but never regained the humanity she so wonderfully conveyed....With her reputation growing in NYC as our next diva sublime, this cameo role would have been out of the question.at that time.

Was there..is there some demonic animal killing Virginia Woolf? In spite of huge notices, assured Tony acting nominations and a reputation that is legion..the house remains. Half full..Must there be a star?.Kathleen Truner did give a masterful performance, but the plays is now balanced ,giving the script a more effective way of conveying the message.
I was an investor in the original, and while the leads were known (Utah Hagen and Arthur Hill). They were not box office magnets and re
