BROADWAY BEREFT MALE CURLS-ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

There is a sudden shortage here
Began this week, so now draw near
This cause celebre, all you girls,
To bring back Broadway's virile curls!

You can wig 'em, it is true
And perm 'em, dye 'em (even blue)
A shiny pate can't hold a candle
To those REAL CURLS--oh, it's a scandal

Where are producers in this hub?
They're prob'ly at some local pub
But while they drink and sup their grub
We're out the curls--aye, there's the rub

There has to be some other who
Whose musicale will be true blue
That has a lead, a song, a prance
For magic curls that sing and dance

Look, we will even be pragmatic
In pursuit of this cause dramatic
A classic drama--a kung fu!
But quench our thirst for male curls, do!

Very nice. But what tune should I sing it to?

You can sing it to "Hernando's Hideaway" -- Ole!

No one has better magic curls than Dan (William Barfee) Fogler--and he has a magic foot to go with them

Oh, the curls that we do miss
In jungles leaves us with a hiss
Just swinging vines, some tepid kiss
The Mouse has left us without bliss!

Even Mouseketeers should be for curls!

Update--haha--did I call you out or what?

Corine, I am so glad you are using that icon. I love Nanette Fabray too."

I'm simply devastated.

Ho ho ho!

Where are those male curls that belong on Broadway?

Let them tread the boards once more! (He'd have to have very long hair to do that...)

Bliss is in the eye of the beholder.

What a shame to hide Michael Ball's gorgeous curls under Count Fosco's greasy-looking wig

But the makeup man couldn't do anything about hiding his equally gorgeous dimples

A response, in iambic pentameter, to your tragic verse:


Oh my! A shock you give me, nomdeplume.
But, hark! I see an ending to this gloom.
Our stages shall not long be left bereft,
Not long, I think, we’ll suffer from this theft.
In musical or in dramatic play,
One day those straight-haired men will rue the day.
They’ll see o’er all the value of a curl,
And smiles will bring to ev'ry boy and girl.
For though a drought on us today may reign,
I know I see an ending to your pain.
We shall use all our charm and cunning wiles,
And bring back curls in sleek or bouncing styles.

I think Broadway is ready for the "ultimate curls."

Jheri(sp?) Curls for all of the leading men!
