I am here at the Smash intermission. I love Robyn Hurder's singing and dancing. Caroline Bowman is thrilling up watch. I didn't expect to see and hear what the director decided to present. I was thrilled to anticipate Karen going on as Marilyn. I really was hoping ho see it. But they come up with a silly plot line about Karen eating a tampered cupcake and being unable to go on. WTF! I realize that the producers didn't want to replicate the tv show, but their choices are insane. It's almost unrecognizable . Granted , the lady who went on for Karen had a good voice,. slightly soprano like. The audience liked her. At this point, I frankly don't know what to expect. Also, the old lady in black is frankly annoying. P.S. There was a good deal of extended applause when she finished Don't Forget Me. She was visibly moved. Uh oh, intermission is almost over. I am typing on one finger.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
