I, too, saw Blythe Danner in the FOLLIES revival (on the Friday before it closed on Saturday, so I lucked out. Ironically, I saw Eric McCormack in THE MUSIC MAN the next day at the matinee - very impressive). She and Gregory Harrison were the high spots for me of the four principals.

Tom!

That must have been the production which also had Gregory Harrison and Treat Williams then?

Just asking!
Don't mind me!
It's chilly here at 5:02 am.
I know no one cares to know that, but I felt like saying it!
Ah, Follies! Liaisons! Ooh, la la! Maurice Chevalier, le 14 juillet, les poissons....
Sorry, Got carried away, carried away.....

Oh and I have an announcement to make:

As long as I am stuck in the onslaught of a Canadian winter - none of you (with the exception of the fellow Canucks) are allowed to complain about being cold.  Ever.  

It is SNOWING right now.  As I type.  There is accumulation.  Until Paris is under blizzard conditions - no more "it's so chilly here" talk from François!  :)

Yes, Emily! I'm crazy as a loon!
I'm loonatic as the moon in my attic...
As a bat in my battic (?)...

Ah, Emily!
Johnny Mandel wrote such a song about you!
Was he crazy about you?

I'm fou as Fifi D'Orsay frolicing in some frilly frock...

Indeed it was that production of "Follies" François. I only new Mr Williams from his performance in "The Ritz" (The movie). Despite all the criticisms of the "dark" version of "Follies" I loved it. I saw "The Producers", "Seusical" and "The Lion King" in the same week. It is "Follies" that lasts in the memory and was the show that made me "feel" for the characters.

Has "Emily" been "Americanised"?

I've lived in Montréal, Emily, so I know what blizzard conditions means!

All of a sudden I feel colder!
I won't "refresh my browser" then!
Warm me up brother!

Je suis fou and proud of it!

Weren't Treat Williams and Gregory Harrison a little young for those parts in Follies?

Just for you, DR Emily... to warm up your heart ... and the rest of your body too!

It needed to Johnnies to write such a lovely ballad!

Writer(s): johnny mercer - johnny mandel


Emily, Emily, Emily
Has the murmuring sound of May
All silver bells, coral shells, carousels
And the laughter of children at play

Say Emily, Emily, Emily
And we fade to a marvelous view
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see Emily, Emily



(and we fade to a marvelous view)
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see Emily, Emily
Too

I think Treat and Gregory would be great in SUGAR (SOME LIKE IT HOT!)

But then, who asked me?

The age didn't bother me just as the "in concert" version guys were too young too. You playing "Oliver" would be more difficult.

ooh... but brownie points to F. for the "tabernacle"

although I prefer "hestie" myself when I'm feeling particularly Québécois.

Or better yet: "Hestie-Seigneur-Câlice-Tabernacle" (all at once of course!)

We Toms are indeed attention seeking. And both of us from Washington too!

Only if you were Miss Hannigan! I hope you you can artfully dodge out of this conversation! "Annie" is just "Oliver in drag" after all.

15 seconds too late for an Artful Dodger quip. Timing is everything. I've made a right nancy of myself now.

I know there is no instant reaction but François has reached 100 posts! At least! Congratulations. I am sure you feel so much better knowing that.

I have been dozing off and on since I got home - I'm totally zoned out - stuffed up and all that.  So, imagine my surprise and joy to see all these excellent posts, which has cheered me up threefold, which is better than twofold or onefold.  I think this calls for some art, don't you?  I won this piece on eBay quite some time ago.  The artist is named Schumacher and about two weeks after I won it I received an e-mail from someone who'd seen it on eBay and she told me that she'd been the Schumacher's babysitter and had babsat the girl in the painting, Schumacher's daughter.  Isn't that neat?  The artist was a very-well thought of illustration artist.
