re: A Show for Grandma

Well what's wrong with taking Grama to NAKED BOYS SINGING?

re: A Show for Grandma

Well it sounds to me like HAIRSPRAY is the obvious choice. The sexual innuendo is nothing Granny hasn't heard and if you don't tell her Edna is really a guy she should be just fine.
PEACE.

It's such a shame that Prymate closed early...

re: A Show for Grandma

I don't think she'd have a problem with Edna being a guy, anyhow.
To be honest, she's a pretty cool Grandma.
She's up with pop culture and stuff.

(for example, she was angered when Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey got married, because "he's too cute for her" and "her singing is terrible". She now watches the occasional episode of Newlyweds for the soul purpose of mocking Jessica afterwards. Go, Grandma, Go!)

And she can handle more sexual innuendo than I earlier let on.
I mean, she walked out at intermission from "Frankie & Johnny in the Claire de Lune" because it wasn't at all like the movie and there was way too much nudity for her.
(Hence why I don't think she's up for "Naked Boys Singing")
But in general, she's alright.

I love my Grandma.
I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

re: A Show for Grandma

Maybe you can take her to THE BOY FROM OZ ( but ask her first re: A Show for Grandma ) - judging from Barbara Cook's regard for the show ( she has seen it 11 times), maybe your grandma might like it. I've also read Liz Smith say she has been to the show a number of times, the last time with Lauren Bacall.

It's a fun show!

Would she like Wicked if you could get tickets? I haven't seen it yet but I heard the recording I think Wonderful Town would be great

re: A Show for Grandma

with apologies to PapaLM for mentioning anything having to do with my brilliant career...

I see LOADS and LOADS of Grandmas at the show, smiling like kindergarteners on crack...

I'd LOVE to help you arrange for great tickets.

And to make sure she doesn't get TOO excited at the show, we can ask Jose' to sit in front of her, arms folded, a scowl on his face as he "tsk tsk's" the audience for enjoying themselves...that should serve as a great big buzz-kill for her

re: A Show for Grandma

I second Marc's call for Hairspray. It is a GREAT show and she shouldn't have a problem with it. As far as Edna goes,I have seen people all ages coming out of the theatre at the end swearing up and down that there is no way Edna was played by a man.. and they were looking IN THEIR PLAYBILLS.

Way to work it ~~~~! Congrats! Enjoy the show, it is awsome!
PEACE.

re: A Show for Grandma

Well, if she has see POTO, 42nd Street and Fiddler, then Hairspray or Wonderful Town. Personally, I would see Hairspray over Wonderful Town any day. But it depends on what your grandmother wants.

re: A Show for Grandma

MARC DARLING!!!!
I need your cell number.
Waiting for two whole pages for a response is simply unbearable.

By the way, I conferred with my mother.
She and I both vote for Hairspray.
I've decided that our votes outweigh Grandma's say.
I don't think she'll mind.
I know she'll love the show, so long as there isn't some crazy bout of stunt casting between now and our trip that would place Jessica Simpson in the role of Tracy, Penny, or Amber.


I thought Martin was in already...
Am I wrong?

(btw, Whoopi would make an AWESOME ELPHABA!!!!)
I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

Is Martin Mull the guy who does Homer Simpson's voice?
PEACE.

re: A Show for Grandma

Damn FF, you really know how to work a scam girl. I need to take some manipulation lessons from you. Maybe there is something under that tiara after all. This was brilliant.

re: A Show for Grandma

I can't believe this thread went on so long. It's been clear from page one that you should ditch granny. She has far too many issues, too many "don'ts."

re: A Show for Grandma

So, it really don't matter what Granny want. Why did you post this? Oh, and how many tickets to Hairspray will you need?
By the way, I did a search and Martin Mull is going into AIDA, Bruce Valanche is going into HAIRSPRAY. I'm not sure when Jessica or Brittany or Beyonce takes over the other roles.
PEACE.

To quote my dear friend:

"Y'all a bunch-a jealous hookahs!"

If Marc didn't WANT to respond, I'm guessing he probably would NOT HAVE. Build a bridge.......and get over it.
