Who are you missing?

Posted: 3/16/05 at 10:29pm

Last time I was in Footlight (actually in the store), I bought a bunch of used cast recording CDs from the bargain bin. Today I was listening to the Pointer Sisters' Ain't Misbehavin' and all I could think of was how much I'd rather be listening to Nell Carter.

Nell Carter and Gregory Hines--I've been missing them. Not miss in the sense that I don't see them. But, you know, sad that they're gone and we won't ever see them on stage or TV or in movies again. No new projects to look forward to.

I'm very sad I'll never see an "original" Bob Fosse show.

I did manage to see "A Chorus Line" on B'way...

Michael Bennet and Bob Fosse are my two idols...
