"Is Yul Brynner still in The King and I?"
Was that supposed to be a joke?

Posted: 11/8/04 at 6:43pmYou may have been joking, but I'm sure Carol Channing is still plugging away as Dolly in some western florida dinner theatre. Maybe we'll see her as dolly back on Broadway before she bites the dust. I wouldn't doubt it.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 6:45pmDo you seriously think that was necessary to post? I don't think there's anyone on here that doesn't know that he's dead. Well, maybe that creep that started all those posts about audition songs. He's never even heard of Yul Brynner.

though it's closed:
Marlene Danielle is the only member of the original cast of CATS to stay with the show for the entire run. As Bombalurina, she had the actor’s dream — steady employment for 18 years.

That was already posted.
Has anyone said anything about Cathy Rigby yet? She's been doing Peter Pan on and off for like 178 years.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 7:04pmi think the people who stick with shows for a while are genious. Jobs are far,few and between and as long as the money is good.. the show is a long run , why leave? I'd do anything to get one bway show..I'd be like that lady in cats.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 7:11pmThe old school Broadway performers were what they called "gypsies" and proud of it. They loved the whole idea of going from show to show, learning new roles, finding new relationships and experiences. Now we're supposed to feel sorry for performers because they don't have steady work. It was never about that. That's the bottom line of an actor's career.

"the original timon and pumba were Max Casella and Ernie Sabella..."
Cool, about Ernie Sabella...he was also the Pumba in the Lion King movies. Not to mention Leon Carosi in those corny Saved By the Bell shows (which I watch!).

Posted: 11/9/04 at 10:17pmaccording to ibdb.com and the cast recording Tom Alan Robbins was the original pumbaa and i believe still is. the only mention of ernie sabella in the stage version is a miscredited playbill picture.
