Once Upon a Time

[Mary_Ethel]

Once upon a time a girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time, very long ago

Once upon a time we sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time, now the tree is gone

How the breeze ruffled up her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go?

Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours, how happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time never comes again


Music: Charles Strouse

Oh, thank g-d....

M_E and I became friends yesterday....but then I saw this and was expecting something LOW

Bso, don't forget to include the god-awful faces she makes when she's singing....

The "big" song from Brooklyn is called Once Upon a Time....featuring Flat A Eden (yeah, jwei...)....aka, Eden screaming!

The song I posted was from ALL AMERICAN--Strouse's and Adam's followup to BYE BYE BIRDIE--unfortunately, it was a failure--both commercialy and artisticaly.


But I LOVE this haunting melody and wistful lyrics...

ANd she stole many faces, from none other than idina menzel.

That picture SCARES me, Jwei (in more ways than one!)


PLEASE, put it away...

[Thenardier]

Posted: 4/16/05 at 1:01am

I know M_E...I was referring to the title of the thread though.

I love Idina's fangs! Imagine that mouth....

I was thinking the same thing. "Oh, God, don't let this be about the high B..."

Who doesn't make weird faces when they're singing?

[Thenardier]

Posted: 4/16/05 at 1:03am

Di's faces are not weird - they are HOT!

[Jwei123]

Posted: 4/16/05 at 1:05am

Joshua, Shoshana doesn't make weird faces when she's singing

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 4/16/05 at 1:07am

C'mon, folks, do you really think I would start a Thread about BROOKLYN?

[Thenardier]

Posted: 4/16/05 at 1:07am

That's why I got scared and though I lost my new friend....

::PHEW::

It's just a good photo. I bet that she makes some weird faces once in a while. Just check out the backstage video from WICKED that's on broadway.com and watch the little clip of Shoshana during "Defying Gravity". There is a weird face or two in that little 10 second clip.

But I do have to say: I love that picture of Shoshana.

[Thenardier]

She looks constipated

[Joshua488]

Posted: 4/16/05 at 1:15am

And Idina looks like a cross-eyed Audrey II in that photo above.

[Thenardier]

Posted: 4/16/05 at 1:16am

I'd rather be with a cross-eyed, man-eating plant than a constipated, mediocre wannabe...

[Joshua488]

Posted: 4/16/05 at 1:17am

I'd rather be with a man.

Oh, that's right. I like men anyway. Updated On: 4/16/05 at 01:17 AM

I'd rather be with Idina...
