Golden Girls The Musical

YEAH!!! I second that motion! Golden Girls the musical! :) :) lol yes, Im a little too amused by that.. I know I need to go to bed now lol

I remember that Episode...that was hysterical. And remember the Miami song, and the play "The Sky is Falling," or the one where Rose and Blanche tap dance. I'm sorry I used to be addicted to that show.

If you know the words to the Miami song, I will be impressed. I loved the tap dancing episode.

OK, trivia time: Who was to be the fifth Golden Girl as per the final season?

Come on people, here we are on a Broadway related forum and nobody has yet to mention teh Golden Girls episode where Rose and Blanche get cast in the community theater production of Cats. The cat costumes looked like they were done by Fredricks of Hollywood

im sorry..im a little too obsessed with this show..i used to watch it all the time at my grandmas house when i was little when she'd watch me...now it's on LIFETIME every night at like 11 or 12.

The guitar playing triplets are The Delrubio Triplets. They've done lots of guest appearnaces on tv shows becuase they are so bad and so campy.

Bad Idea says I! I don't know, but it wouldn't be the same without the original 4 Golden Girls. Nobody could play Dorothy like Bea Arthur! And Rue McClennahan as Blanche...I'd like to see ANYBODY try to fill her shoes! Unless we brought them all back to do it, I doubt it would happen. (And I hope it wouldn't!) But it's pretty cool to picture it if they had proposed that idea in the 80's!

The originals were great. I cannot see anyone else playing Dorothy, Blanche, Sophia and Rose. One of my favorites was how no one believed Sophia had a date and when they left the house, Julio Iglesia walked in the back door. Or when Burt Reynolds came to pick her up. She was a pistol. I liked when she had those Sicilian stories. She was very believable as an Italian....

OK, that Mama Celeste one is my favorite Sophia reaction! Always has been. And as she flicks the freezer, she says, "Apuganda." or something like that?

You know what I thought was a really sweet episode, when Sophia was volunteering at the hospital, and she gave so much time and energy...and one little boy was very sick, and Sophia made him eat a nectarine to get his strength even though he hated them. And she would go down to the Boardwalk and talk to friends and whatnot. Then, when she came home to her 3 lazy room mates (still in their PJ's), they asked her what she did all day, and she said, "I did what I do everyday. I bought a nectarine."

By the way, good job on knowing Debbie Reynold's was techically the 5th Golden Girl (she lived there for 2 days). lol

Golden Palace was not very good (from what I rememer). You just can't have the Golden Girl's with one of them missing.

OK, what is everyone's favorite thing about each Golden Girl?
Mine:
Rose: her St. Olaf stories
Sophia: her remarks towards Blanche and Rose (especially Blanche)
Blanche: The fact that she bragged about how many men she's slept with and yet didn't think she was a slut (remember when they were mistaken for hookers and Sophia got their concert tickets) lol
Dorothy: her quick wit and mannerisms

Did everyone know that originally Betty White was going to play Blanche and Rue was going to play Rose? And then one day they switched and the rest is history.

The show ended because Bea wanted out. I think it should have ended earlier though. I mean, when they were dishing out episodes like when Blanche has a dream about her dead husband coming back to life, it's time to shoot the lame horse. Same thing applies to Designing Women. When Charlene and Suzanne left, it was never the same. Carlene played her part well, but Julia's cousin just wasnt funny or bitchy enough to fill Suzanne's shoes! I thought BJ was great though.

By the way TheaterBaby, I still watch the Golden Girls reruns religiously every night at 11pm on Lifetime (Television for and about women THOSE SEXIST WOMEN! IM A MAN AND I LOVE THAT CHANNEL)so thats why I know some of the songs so well :)
