Going to the theatre for over 40 years and I have never walked out of a show. There is only one show that I ever fell asleep. That was the mid-1990’s revival of Timon of Athens. Never have I been so bored at a Broadway show.

I have read Not Since Carrie several times and the one show I wish had made it to Broadway was Colette with Diana Rigg.

How about an Applause revival with Charles Busch as Margo Channing?

Gemma Craven won the Olivier Award (back when it was still called the SWET award) for They're Playing Our Song in 1979.

I think they should consider a production of On Your Toes - it has been 35 years since the last revival. And I even have an idea for casting - recently retired ABT prime Diana Vishneva as Vera.

Civilization - from Angel in the Wings Elaine Stritch sang it in her solo show and Dyan Cannon sang it when she hosted The Muppet Show.

Her expressive voice and the dynamic in which she could sing made her Effie something that no other singer has quite captured again. It was raw. Lillias White was close. She had a more metered approach to the vocal, but it was almost equally as exciting to listen to. Her vocal runs were different. She really made the role her own.I had ...

I know the film has its flaws, but I love Wait Until Dark. The last scene with Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin is classic.
