Profile for Millie Lammoreaux

"City of Angels"Love the clever lyrics and the authentic swing score.

...for his performance in the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Cher. WOW! Not sure current categories would accommodate this; if not, revive Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. He’s way deserving!

Nicky Arnstein, Nicky Arnstein. I'll never see him again.

I saw "A Conversation with Stephen Sondheim" a few years ago in West Palm Beach and cringed when a man in the audience told the composer that his favorite Sondheim song was "There's A Place for Us" from "West Side Story." Sondheim responded graciously, but I had to restrain myself from leaping up and apologizing profusely on behalf of all South Florida theatergoers.

From City of Angels (Lost and Found): If you're not celibate, we could raise hell a bit.

Maybe not my very favorite, but it always makes me laugh (especially the way Stritch sings it): "She's tall enough to be your mother." --Joanne in "Poor Baby" from "Company"

Christine Baransky, John Mahoney, Patricia Clarkson and a chubby, 19-year-old Ben Stiller in “House of Blue Leaves” (1986). Also in the cast were already-known Swoozy Kurtz and Danny Aiello. Fourth row, center: So close, Ben spit on me, not once but twice!

"You Don't Know Paree" from Cole Porter's "Fifty Million Frenchmen." If you've never heard the song, do yourself a favor and find a recording. It's heartbreakingly beautiful.

Bumping for Glebby!

Does Barbra's vocal trick at the end of "Don't Rain On My Parade" on the "Funny Girl" OBC recording count?

The Act. Dreadful!

In response to Kringas's comment: "It's completely different. The double-cast actors never played scenes against themselves." In the movie "Adaptation," Nicolas Cage played against himself to great and inspired dramatic effect. No gimmick there but, rather, art.

In response to Kringas's comment: "Had Judy Garland played Dorothy and the Scarecrow, you might have a point." Think possibilities!

Weez: Take a look at Reese's performance in "Election" for inspiration.

In response to Kringas's comment, "Shouldn't the text be able to that, rather than relying a gimmick?" Every literary or dramatic device is a gimmick if poorly executed. If well executed, it's art. Look at how well the same "gimmick" was used in MGM's "Wizard of Oz".
