a broadway show with an 6 word title? — Page 3

Charley Kringas Inc said: "Could be a padded out version of Roar of the Greasepaint"

That's what I was thinking Charley. The Roar of the Grease Paint might seem like seven words to people who don't know "greasepaint" is one word. Meanwhile, if the crew hears the full title--The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd--they might just describe it as "hard to comprehend".

ETA: Except now it seems the title is BLANK BLANK of BLANK BLANK BLANK. So never mind.

Isn't it odd how few six word titles we can find?

There isn't any tap dancing in the show, but the Urchins can be staged in all sorts of ways. If a company had a lot of tappers, tap could be added to ensemble numbers.

Yes, missaigon, please tell us when you find out. We'll probably all have a good laugh and we won't blame you if the info you were given was wrong.

I was driving toward Atlanta years ago when a friend in the car started talking about how her aunt had been a personal assistant to a Hollywood movie star. My friend couldn't recall the name of the star, but she was sure the star's name had four syllables, pronounced DEE-duh DEE-duh. For two hours, we all guessed everyone from JU-dy GAR-land to RIT-a HAY-worth, all to no avail.

Just as we parked the car in Atlanta and got out, my friend suddenly cried, "Oh! I know! It was MAR-y-lin Mon-ROE!" (which you'll admit is different from the clue she gave us).

I laughed so hard I ended up flopping around on the asphalt of a busy parking lot at the Atlanta multiplex that was our destination. I just couldn't help it! I'm not sure I've laughed so hard since (and the Atlanta trip was in the mid-1970s).

Yeah, I was thinking of the various ways it could be expanded and misconstrued ("I play a dancing sea urchin!".

The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui

The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds (is a little too long a title)

And Miss Reardon Drinks a Little

Right You Are If You Think You Are

The Persecution and Assassination of Jean Paul Marat...

Hollywood/Ukraine has a tiny cast and the name sounds nothing like any of the multiple variations being described. Perhaps it's Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines.

I'm beginning to wonder if we're playing a game of telephone here



And the 3rd link in the chain was Yoda....

Isn't Newsies just the nickname for the show? I think the full name is: "Newsboys in the City and on Strike"

Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope
