Hello! Just wanted to let everyone here know that I recently published a page on "Memories of Melody Top" about a 1967 production of LADY IN THE DARK with Patrice Munsel. In addition to some stunning photographs, I shared two newspaper articles about Ms. Munsel picking her costumes from a local Gimbels-Schusters department store. Please take a minute over this holiday weekend to visit the site by clicking on the direct link in this message.

I remember seeing this production and thinking it quite lavish. Loved the photos, the articles about purchasing the lead's business wardrobe, and Patrice's 2011 comments about the production. 1967 was some season at Melody Top--Gretchen Wyler in SWEET CHARITY, John Raitt in CAROUSEL, Jane Powell in THE BOY FRIEND, and the rest. And young Tommy Tune was the resident choreographer that year!

I didn't realize until I started working on this page that Ms. Munsel played a large number of leading musical theatre roles. There is quite a nice page on her personal website:
