When I watched “To Wong Foo, thanks for everything, Julie Newmar” I couldn’t help but think, “this would make a kickass Broadway musical”.

Among the current ones on Broadway, I think we have to include Adam Driver. I think he’s 6’3.

She was one of my favorite sopranos. I loved the charm and vocal fireworks of her Rosina in the Barber of Seville. She was also my favorite performer of my screen name role. She had F6's for days and they were so pretty and perfect!

Songs from a mom to a daughter

Slipping through my fingers by Abba is used as a mother to daughter song in Mamma Mia. (Although I suppose it could be a father to daughter song too). But like Stay with me, it's a poignant song about growing up from the parent's point of view.

In your opinion, what are some of the more thankless roles in plays/musicals?

I think Nicola in Kinky Boots is more thankless than Charlie. She's pretty much just the "annoying bitchy girlfriend".

When Mimi comes back to life at the end of Rent. I thought she'd really be dead like Mimì is at the end of La Bohème.

"
The Beautiful Game (in its original London version) has a lovely score. "God's own country" is probably the prettiest song, but it does have a lot of emotionally powerful and interesting songs in it. I wish it could have been done her

In honor of the revival - CATS! Original Production Photographs

From what I remember of the original production, the pirate ship set was either flown in or moved in behind a scrim or curtain. It was two level with a "below deck" that Growltiger would push his pirates into when he sang, "and my raffish crew were sleeping in their barrels and their bunks".

This is sad. If they could have held on til summer they might have had a chance with the families on vacation. It was a good show with a great cast. Glad I got the chance to see it last month. I did notice that Broadway Across America is one of their producers. Maybe that bodes well for a tour, to play the BAA cities?
