Y'all have seen my signature - a lyric from Birds of Paradise.

I am wondering if anyone actually saw this short-lived musical in 1987. What were the factors that contributed to its demise?

Were penguin suits involved?!?

I don't know what were the factors that contributed to the show's demise. I'm pretty sure penguin suits were involved. Great score. I love listening to it.

What was your sig again before you changed it?

I unfortunately didn't get to see it but i LOVE the song Coming True...

And I also love the fact that Todd Graff was in it

And that you can hear "Imagining You" in the background in that scene from CAMP (dir. Todd Graff!) when Ellen is on the roof being moody!

[title of show] on Broadway. it's time. believe.

Josh, I can't even remember what I had for dinner last night. I haven't a hope of remembering my first signature. It was probably something silly like, 'Penguins must sing.' But, I can't be sure. Sorry.
