Gender Bender: Roles played by men and women Sep 14
2017, 03:47:07 PM
Fascinating to learn that Whoopi Goldberg took over for Nathan Lane in the role of Pseudolus in the 1996 Broadway revival of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
Any other roles that were originally conceived to be played by one sex and then played by the other sex?

Full original Broadway Merrily We Roll Along video Aug 27
2017, 05:15:53 PM
What a great find! A video of the full original legendary Merrily We Roll Along from 1981 during it's short but legendary two week run. Just hearing this fantastic Sondheim score as it was presented is unbelievable. Video is not great quality, but hey...it's from 1981!!
As it has been up for several years, I assume it is OK.
Video here.

It was interesting (surprising!) to her Joan's claim that she wrote the original screenplay to Midler's film The Rose. IMDb lists these folks as involved:
Michael Cimino ...(story) (uncredited)
Bo Goldman ...(screenplay)
Bill Kerby ...(screenplay)

I think Zangara and Dewy are quite similar in their manic energy. But always great to see Brightman back on stage.

Josh would be fantastic on a Sondheim album. I know he is a big Sondheim fan so it's a perfect pairing.
