Profile for The Other One

JasonC3 said: "Nothing about Creel's death is Levi's story to tell."

Exactly. Thank you.

Sorriest to lose: Probably No More, from the otherwise intact Into The Woods, or How Can Love Survive? from The Sound of Music.

Happiest to gain: The title song to Bye Bye Birdie.

Show Score reviews

It stands for Theater On Film and Tape.  Anything filmed for TOFT can be viewed at the Performing Arts Library in Lincoln Center.  It can not be streamed and will not be available commercially.

They will probably be filming this weekend as well, with Grant Gustin giving his final performance tomorrow afternoon.  Joe De Paul, who'd apparently left the cast earlier this month, returned for the shoot.

I'm glad this production is being preserved on film.  It's often incredible, and I enjoyed this show much more than I thought I would.

CATSNYrevival said: "The recent release of the complete Oklahoma! cast album and the upcoming complete Carousel cast album fromChandos got me thinking about other classic musicals I'd love to have complete cast albums of. The first one I thought of was On A Clear Day You Can See Forever. There are several songs that are not included on the original Broadway cast recordingincluding "Ring Out the Bells," "Solicitor's Song," Daisy's "He Wasn't You," and "Hellrakers" ballet.It could also includesongs that were added for the film,"Love With All the Trimmings," "Go to Sleep" and"What Did I Have That I Don't Have."The book is wacky, but the score is beautiful and I would love to hear a complete recording someday.

"What Did I Have That I Don't Have" was not added for the film.  Barbara Harris sang the hell out of it on the OBCR, and you can see her perform it along with other excerpts from the show in this clip. On A Clear Day You Can See Forever original cast excerpts.

Are there any classic musicals you'd like a complete recording of?"

Good question, but I can't think of one.

According to ibdb.com, his only three Broadway appearances were in How To Make a Man, Skyscraper and La Cage Aux Folles.  Maybe he did Chicago somewhere else?

In the posted obituary for Robert Banas, it's mentioned that he was kissed by Marilyn Monroe in the movie "Made In Paris."  The title of the film in which they danced together is actually "Let's Make Love."

 

I wasn't sure how to contact you to make a correction, so I'm posting it here.  By all means remove this post once the obit is corrected.

Bring Back Birdie.  Stewart, Strauss, Adams and Rivera reunite with Conrad, and the result is gone in two days.

"I love the show and would love to see a revival with Josh Gad and Andrew Randells."

What an idea!  They would have a great time and so would everyone watching.

What is the status of the Mark Hellinger/Time Square Church?  I hear they have kept the theater in immaculate condition.  I also know that its original entrance was on Broadway and not on 51st. Street, though that change happened long before it became a church.

Doubt not being nominated for Best Revival is strange.  Three of its four cast members are nominees and only three plays were nominated for Best Revival - there clearly could have been one or two more. 

Jessica Lange.

I don't agree that Sarah is at all wrong, but Viola would be incredible in this role.  

 

Jessica Lange is equally superb, arguably even more so, in The Great Lillian Hall, which just started streaming on MAX. She is having quite a year.
