Milwaukee, Wisconsin!

Happy new year. I just posted a new page on "Memories of Melody Top" with lots of pictures from a 1976 production of FORUM starring Arte Johnson and Dave Madden.

Chicago-area fans of musical theatre may recognize the face of the late Dolores Rothenberger as Domina. And Broadway audiences will surely know the name of Neva Rae Powers, who appeared in KING OF HEARTS and the Sandy Duncan revival of PETER PAN.

I love checking this site for new pictures. So wonderful to see the many great people that worked there. Who knew that "Reuben Kincaid" of The Partridge Family had done so much stage work, and I can only imagine the funny ad libs from Arte Johnson.

So sad that we don't have anything like this anymore! Can't wait to see the next batch.

Thanks to everyone who visited my Melody Top site over the last week. Over 1,200 people looked at the page on FORUM, and I am very grateful for the traffic.

Speaking of actors who are not known for performing (and singing) in musicals, check out the picture in this message. Guess who played Fagin in OLIVER! back in 1972...

That's Vincent Price, right?

Nope. It's Leonard Nimoy!
