I try to liven things up but there's always somebody to be offended.  Why, even "Farewell David Letterman" caused one distressed person great consternation.

But, at the risk of going out on a limb and saying I like something, I like this thread being bumped because it celebrated the arrival of a good egg.  That used to happen here!

And look at all the fun we used to have!

i think we need more parties this summer.

With artisanal ice!

[NYadgal]

The only kind!

Oh, wow . . . !

I still haven't had a Britten Bombshell.

Let's fix that soon.

PalJoey, I love that song so much.

Liza doesn't always get Sondheim songs just right--her "Some People," for instance, is usually too frenetic to be coherent--but for some reason she nails "Old Friends" perfectly, no matter what shape her voice is in.

It comes from the heart.

7 year bump! Love it. Let's have a mojito!

What a fun thread to bring back!

It makes me teary for the old days of bww!

 

It seems this has turned into a picnic, since a big old ant just crawled in.

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 6/4/15 at 9:48am

I mean, it's practically Friday . . .

(Totally agree about Liza and "Old Friends," btw.)

[NYadgal]

I will gladly and graciously accept any party invitations that bring fun and laughter to the OT board.   

Everything old is new again.  We're bringing the 'old' days back right here and right now!

A little party entertainment

Dorothy Loudon at the 1983 Tony Awards: VODKA!

[PalJoey]

Posted: 6/4/15 at 11:58pm

On my death bed I will be saying that Dorothy Loudon singing "Vodka" at the 1983 Tonys is the funniest performance of anything by anyone at any time anywhere.

 

Here's another of Reggie's party favorites: Hinge and Bracket doing "Three Little Maids From School," arranged, as they say, for two voices.

 

It starts at 0:0:41

I hesitate to say it, since people here already think I walk around in a top hat, but God, I love them!

"I'm too good for this dress. I'm too good for this room!"

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 6/5/15 at 9:31am

No--she's too good for the room and the song, but not the dress!

[PalJoey]

Posted: 6/5/15 at 11:51am

And she knows it!

(And she knows a good punch line when she stumbles upon it.)

You mean...you don't walk around in a top hat??!

I'm also in full color, believe it or not.
