I saw Sally's Folly in tryout in New Haven right before they renamed it, hired Michael Bennett to re-tool it and it became the much-maligned and underappreciated Ballroom, starring, I do believe, the fabulous Richard Kiley as the widow.

Posted: 2/13/07 at 2:09pmI never saw "Ballroom," but I did like that "50 Cent" song that Rue McClanahan sang in her recent one-woman show (although nothing compares with the original, as sung by Dorothy Hamill).

Posted: 2/13/07 at 3:46pmThe Baker's Wife? Isn't that the Into the Woods spin-off that Joanna Gleason did back in the early 90s?

"*lol* This is great! *lol*"
Personally, I never saw the original Lol Abner, but I heard the guy who played Pappy Yokum was great in "Facts of Life".
Or was he Barney Fyfe?
