Profile for Babyboomer

ASTORIA GLORIA from Angel. Obscure but catchy: "Astoria Gloria-girl of my dreams-why did you have to live way out in Queens" Chris (from Astoria)

Wasn't La Strada with Bernadette Peters a 1 performance flop?

I'm going way back here. There was a song that opened ACT 2 of Skyscraper starring Julie Harris called Delicatessan that stunk worse than a moldy Pastrami sandwich. Almost every song from Man In The Moon. For a non-Broadway show song I pick Space is So Startling (there's Jupiter & there's Mars) from a London cast album from the 60's. I haven't listened to that album in over 30 years & I still can't get that horrible title song out of my head.Shipoopi is a masterpiece of melody & poetry compar...

Runners Up:LEGS DIAMOND MARILYN Winner of the worst ever that I saw: MAN IN THE MOON. The lady sitting in front of us flung her playbill towards the stage at the end. It was a dreadful, incomprehensible piece of crap

How about RAUNCHY from 110 in the Shade?

SideShow King of Hearts The Robber Bridegroom Oh, Brother Sherry Georgy Carrie (at least the brilliant parts of the show-not the dumb parts)

13 in 1963-saw HIGH SPIRITS with Tammy Grimes, Bea Lillie & Edward Woodward. Prior to that, at age 10, I saw a professional production of CAROUSEL at the Westbury (L.I.) Music Fair when it was still a tent.

You're Not Foolin' Me from 110 in the Shade

I grew up in the 60's & was a big Doors fan. I really liked their song "Moon of Alabama" (Oh, show me the way to the next whiskey bar...)It wasn't until a few years later that I discovered it was a Kurt Weill song from one of his musicals (Either Happy End or The Rise & Fall of the City of Mahoganny)

Sondheim's SO MANY PEOPLE from Saturday Night. Cy Coleman's LOVERS ON CHRISTMAS EVE from I Love My Wife

The Robber Bridegroom On The Twentieth Century Oh, Brother

Off the top of my head & working backwards: Woman in White Sweet Smell of Success Parade My Favorite Year Sideshow Carrie Merrilly We Roll Along Oh, Brother King of Hearts Henry,Sweet Henry Georgy

I always assumed it was about the Nacarelli's.

I always liked 110 In The Shade. Much better than The Rainmaker, the play it is based on.

HIGH SPIRITS in 1964

This may be a bit obscure but I swear "All You Have To Do is Wait" from City of Angels has the exact same melody as "Going Going Gone" from Lolita, My Love

To my knowledge, it was done in London. The closest it ever got to New York was a production at New Jersey's Papermill Playhouse.
