Need a good musical for All boys school to perform.
My all-boys high school did Promises, Promises way back when. A theater lover was born.

Ann Miller in Mame on Broadway
Ann Miller tapping up a storm in the Great American Soup commercial is one of my all-time favorite things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jU2pl7bqKg
All the Andrea Martin videos!
This is one of my favorite Andrea Martin videos. It's got everything: Andrea Martin, Bernadette Peters, and a number from Follies. And they all blowed up, real good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQKWn6oPj-c
Homophobia alive and well in Texas theatre audiences
Texas has a homophobe in it! Lord have mercy on our souls.

Timbuktu 1978
I saw Tumbuktu in Boston. It was one of the first musicals I ever saw. I remember Eartha Kitt's campy Eartha Kitt-ness, played to the hilt, was enjoyable. Mostly I remember the performance of Night of My Nights, up and down the aisles of the Shubert theater. It was a knockout, joyous and wonderful.
Follies Entr'acte
I found this funny clip from the early 80s on the subject of Bernadette Peters and her performance of a number from Follies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQKWn6oPj-c
CAROUSEL on Live At Lincoln Center Tonight at 9PM!!
I was impressed by Kate Burton's wicked excellent Boston accent.
A.R.T Pippin
I was excited to see this, and then the TV-movie version of the show from 1981 was on TV a few weeks ago and I saw it. I wish I hadn't. That was quite enough Pippin for me.

Plays Everyone Should Read
A few years ago, Sondheim called Green Grow the Lilacs a bleak play about homosexuality. The source for Oklahoma, a bleak play about homosexuality? I couldn't wait to read it. It was so interesting to read Oklahoma in bleak play form. I was surprised to see that many words and images in the musical are also in the play. But even with all those cowboys I didn't see a trace of homosexuality. The point of the story seems to be that the farmer and the cowman should be friends. "Friends?" Hmm.

She should have gone to an acting school, that seems clear.
Lyrics That Sound Suggestive Out of Context
"Truman Capote's balls." Applause
Musical based on TV series
The Honeymooners has already been a musical, sort of. The show was revived in the late 60s, in color, with musical numbers. I have only a faint memory of it. I couldn't find a clip online.
DVD
What the show needed was another S after the apostrophe: Jerome Robbins's Broadway.
Katie Finneran is Broadways new Hannigan.......
To me, Katie Finneran will always be the person who didn't show up at Promises, Promises the day I did.
