Cheap cheap cheap!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

That woman made BRAZEN overtures! With a guilt that's guaranteed!

She had a golden glint in her eye
And a silver voice with a counterfeit ring
Just melt her down and you'll reveal
A lump of lead as cold as steel
Here, where a woman's heart should be!

As pointless a thread this is, I'm a sucker for The Music Man.
He left River City the library building
But he left all the books to her
Chaucer!
Rabelais!
BALZAC!

kchenofan's computer is broken right now. This is her fridge. Now, you can leave a message, but say it slowly, so I can write it on a post-it note and stick it to myself.

I just remembered how much I loathe this show.

Janet van de Graaf is one of the Pick-a-Little ladies in the Disney TV version.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

One of the most perfect musicals ever written. God, I love this show! Also one of the best stage-to-screen transfers of any Broadway musical.

I liked the revival, but then again it was one of the first things i ever saw on Broadway.
Truly one of the perfect shows.

I've always wondered about the nature of their relationship. Exactly how and when did she establish her standards where men are concerned.

Shouldn't there be a sequel?
Iowa Gothic: River City, 1918 (6 years later). Widow Paroo, after suffering a series of strokes, sits on the front porch, rocking, drooling, and repeating "Excuse me for livin'" over and over.
Winthrop Paroo, a confused teen, torn between the strict/lax moral standards of his parent figures (Harold Hill and Marian Paroo Hill) sings "Tongues of Orange," a song about his developing pyromania. He is responsible for the fire that claimed the life of Eulalie Mackechnie Shinn.
Tommy Djilas, a shell-shocked veteran of WWI, wanders the streets begging and spying in the windows of the house shared by Amaryllis and Zaneeta, who discovered Sapphic love while the men were away at war. Counterpoint trio: "Ye Gods" (Zaneeta & Amaryllis)/"Great Honk" (Tommy).
Marcellus Washburn has vowed to bring about the downfall of Harold Hill (now the autocratic Mayor of River City), because he has discovered that Hill has been toffing Ethel Toffelmier Washburn, his wife. Song: "Shipoopi, My Aunt Fanny"
Marian, her passions first unleashed then subsequently ignored by Harold, loiters regularly at the train depot, meeting any and all traveling salesmen for a quick one down by the old footbridge. She has a stunning aria "My Dark Night."
The surprising climax is brought about through a visit from Fanny Brice (touring with the Follies).
