Hi!

I am looking for Broadway Groupies that I can talk too. I am trying to find people who attend certain shows on a regular basis.

Uh, congratulations on your first post. To be quite honest, when I saw the word "groupies", I thought of something in particular. from RC in Austin, Texas

Too bad you weren't around here when Next to Normal was running.

^ Exactly what I was thinking. The N2N groupies were crazier than Diana.

Too bad you weren't around when Wicked first opened.

The "Kristin upstaged Idina and Idina wouldn't look at her the rest of the performance" threads were rampant.

I threw my jockey shorts onstage while Ethel Merman was singing "Rose's Turn." She met me at the stage door and we spent a wonderful evening together. I hope I was more than a notch on her bedpost to her but if not, what a notch!

Little-known trivia -- the first noted musical-theater groupies were organized by After Eight for the 1914 Baum/Gottschalk THE TIK-TOK MAN OF OZ. So, we may make fun of the WICKED fanatics nowadays, but their progenitor posts here daily and remains, after these many centuries, a first class d-bag!

In a way, all of us are Broadway Groupies, having our favorite shows to promote. With me, it is obviously GYPSY. But there are other shows I feel especially fond of, like the 1958 GOLDILOCKS starring Elaine Stritch but also with a great cast including Don Ameche, Russell Nype , Pat Stanley (who later was in FIORELLO), Nathaniel Frey, and Margaret Hamilton. We wouldn't be on this Board if we were not Broadway Groupies.

Sadly, it was the last show he ever had a good time at.

I actually read the TIK TOK MAN OF OZ by L. Frank Baum when I was a kid, also reading all of the 14 or so OZ books which had belonged to my mother who received them as first editions when they first came out. I loved all of the OZ Books. Did the composer Gottschalk actuallly collaborate with Baum on such a production? I know that some of the titles were made into muscals in the early 20th Century. I always thought that OZMA OF OZ would make a great kid's movie or musical; it has an intriguing plot and introduces the character of TIK TOK.

The person who really knows his OZ books is Best 12 Bars. I hope he can join in this discussion.

EmilyFaye48, you are more than the average groupie. Loved your Schmazie Awards - so campy.
