Profile for Carlos Danger

"Follies" never resonated with me as a complete show. I loved the score and I've only seen two productions of it: "Follies in Concert" from 1985 and the recent Broadway revival with Bernadette Peters, Jan Maxwell, et al.That being said, the show really resonated with me and stuck a cord (more like a raw nerve) when I officially hit middle age. Boy did it hit me!It's not a pretty portrait but it happens to the best of us: ambition, lost opportunity, regret, unrequited love, jealousy, forgivene...

In researching and re-acquainting myself with the show I came across that bit info and got a chuckle out of it. Very cool indeed.

henrikegerman said: "You intrigued me so I googled.What I found, however, is that Premice played not Gladys but Melba. Melba ordinarily only has one song, "Zip." So this makes me wonder if perhaps the buzz that Horne played Diva (was that her reputation? I never heard that) to cut Premice's songs might just be gossip. Thanks for the correction re: Premice's role.I found some info from the Lena Horne biography "Stormy Weather". Premice co-starred with Horne in the Broadway musical "Jamaica", I...

This one's for the grown-ups:I just got wind of an updated all-black version of "Pal Joey" re-titled "Pal Joey '78" which starred Lena Horne as "Vera", Clifton Davis as "Joey" and Josephine Premice as "Melba".From what I've read this production was a mess from start to finish. The show's original director Gower Champion quit - or was fired, depending on the source. Lena was in full scale "Diva" mode - having the show specifically tailored to her and having Premice's songs cut in fear that she...

LOL. The title states If you could go back in time and see ONLY ONE SHOW and yet we get lists.Anyhoo, here is the ONE SHOW I would want to see if I could go back in time:PROMISES, PROMISES - Original Broadway Cast

A Hamilton ticket scammer has just been convicted and was sentenced to 3 years in jail on Tuesday.Anthony Huger was indicted in April for selling and attempting to sell forged tickets to the show.He advertised the tickets on Craigs List.He sold 3 forged tickets for $450 to a couple in Westchester.A month later the wife of another victim suspected a pair of $300 tickets were forged and contacted authorities.Working with the cops, the woman met with Huger to buy four more tickets, at which time...

The clutching of pearls and the ruffling of feathers is all for naught. Get a grip girls.

Sad news. He was a favorite, especially in "1776". He co-starred with Gwyneth Paltrow frequently and her husband Bruce created "The White Shadow". Aside from "1776" he co-starred with Paltrow in the short lived ABC situation comedy, "Adam's Rib".May he R.I.P.

I love that fan created Playbill for Fun Home....it's really nice!

It's obviously something that just came up and concessions had to be made. What a bunch of drama queens.

I guess we really don't have a choice in the matter. I mean it is what it is. She needs Wednesday off for whatever the reason may be. It looks like this was not the original plan, she may have a sudden personal commitment she has to honor and that's why this announcement is just now being made.

The show premiered at The Playhouse Theater and then transferred to The Edison Theater where it remained until it closed.

All this drama over what...? Really? WTMFF.
