Thank you all for the wonderful Birthday Wishes!
Hated the Will Rogers Follies and there is nothing from that show I would recommend.

I loved the Will Rogers Follies.
TOD: Anything by Cy Coleman is aces with me. Just an incredible composer.
I agree with Elmore on the beauty of the entire score to "On the Twentieth Century." I remember seeing the Tony spot where Judy Kaye's voice just rose above the chorus in that exciting way of hers and ran out to get the album as soon as it was available.
Here's the clip:

I saw her on tour in it with Imogene Coca and, for some reason, Frank Gorshin. She was great. Nobody came. There were probably 200 people in a 1,500-seat Schenectady theater on opening night.TOD: Anything by Cy Coleman is aces with me. Just an incredible composer.

I saw Judy Kaye in the show and years later I obtained a recording of the show with her in it
I love, love, love Cy's reworked "Sweet Charity" for the film version. In fact when those wordless vocals started singing it in the Overture, I think that was the first time I had really noticed multi-channel sound, as they entered from all over the place. Really magical and something I'll never forget.

DRs Ben and FJL, safe trips to DC!
BTW
The Cy Coleman compositions on Classical Broadway was played by SETH RUDETSKY
Thank you all for the wonderful Birthday Wishes!
Good morning, DR Danise! What are you going to do today to celebrate?
Travel vibes to DRs Jose and Ben! I'm looking forward to photos and FOLLIES reports.

I went to see it with my parents. We were not sitting together. I wanted to leave at the interval. They didn't like it either. They wanted to leave at the interval as well. We all thought the each other like the show so we stayed.
It would have been the second musical I would have walked out
Kristin Chenoweth said this week that she wants to return tot he stage in a revival of "On the Twentieth Century" with her as Lily Garland.
DRs Ben and FJL, safe trips to DC!

And the word of the day is: CALLITHUMP!
Speaking of Cy, I'm listening to an old Ray Charles Singers album as I upload screencaps for a review and they just sang REAL LIVE GIRL.
Or as perhaps you should start calling them, trips.
Right now I should be at a church watching my friends children take their first communion but instead I am sitting here nursing a horrific head cold - Vixdad and the Vixter went along without me

Get Well Vibes and Marimbas For A Horrific Head Cold !!!!
Here is a special picture of my sister and me. What makes it special is that we're both in our 60s and we only share the same decade once every 10 years, only for 8 months:

thank you- I must admit I feel quite guilty whining about a cold while Jane is nursing a broken wrist
DRs laura, vixmom, ginny, jose, cilla, mbarnum, george, vixmom, jrand, & arnoldmbrockman, tthank you for the good wishes.
4:20 AM why am I not sleeping?
With a broken wrist and healing broken shoulder Dr Jane STILL types better than I do!
I hope to run into friends in the Grand Foyer (other than the friends with whom I am attending the show - did that make any sense ;))
Good Afternoon!
Greetings from Fairfax, VA!
Why am i using so many exclamation points lately?!
With a broken wrist and healing broken shoulder Dr Jane STILL types better than I do!
;D and with only using my left hand.
DR TCB - the stage manager shows up from time to time, takes the director's attention away from the stage - writes on a piece of paper, and then she leaves.
the stupid thing i did was running downhill. i caught my foot on a big rock. i flung my lefy arm out naturally to catch myself & tucked my right one in to protect my shoulder-stupid!!!

I Still Feel That Cy Coleman's CITY OF ANGELS would make one hell of a wonderful Motion PictureI'll second that.
One can but hope this means he will have $$$ to finely PAY me! :)

Fro Jane's good health (and our peace of mind) I suggest we all chip in to get this jogging suit for Jane. A bubble-wrap jogging suit.

Showoff!!
Off to Penn Station. Not sure of the internet situation at the hotel, though.
Did you find the cd?

DR Jane sorry about your wrist. Hiking is a dangerous sport!
Hello Jane - is your wrist in a plaster cast?
Now I am watching Keira Knightly as Miss Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice I prefer the version with Colin Firth as Mr Darcy
Hello Jane - is your wrist in a plaster cast?
the emergency doctor put a soft splint on he molded to my hand and then wrapped it. after awhile the splint hardened. supposedly i can remove it to shower when i feel up to it. i have unwrapped it a few times, the first when i noticed my fingers were blue.

The Knightley version has the plot of Miss Austen's wonderful novel, but very little of the correct tone and attitude. Still, I think it was DR Matt H's preferred version. I'm sticking with Mr Firth and co., although I must say the BBC version by Fay Weldon from 1980 or so is quite good.
My mother and I went to visit my aunt, then did an errand for Mom, and met Richard and Rob at The Meadows for a delightful Mother's Day dinner. Everyone in the restaurant, including us, gathered around the bar to watch the running of the Kentucky Derby. After taking Mom home and seeing her into her apartment, I'm now home myself. Mom kept saying how much she enjoyed it, which was kind of the whole idea.
Did you find the cd?
Yep. Ten bucks postage included - how's that?
jrand, the usual - kritzerland at adelphia dot net
Feel better vibes for D RVIX MIM
And continued recovery vibes for DR JANE.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....well DR TCB.....it sounded like something you MIGHT have posted.
I know I expect criticism for this, but I prefer the Laurence Olivier-Greer Garson version of "Pride and Prejudice." I saw it as a kid and laughed all the way through. Dame Edna Oliver, what's-her-name Inescourt and the rest of the cast are hilarious. Because of that, and despite its flaws, it will always be a favorite of mine.
JRAND, did you watch the other Destry clip?
She took whip lessons. But I don't think she had any chance of being effective in that.JRAND, did you watch the other Destry clip?
Oh yes! I am sorry I thought I wrote about it!
Most entertaining and it looks very dangerous.
What the HELL did Dolores Gray think she was going to do in that number?
Amen.....although I guess she could throw a hard slap or two.And so could Mama Gray.
I'm sorry about your friend, John G.Thank you. I'm also, in a way, relieved to know that he is at rest.
Good Afternoon!

And Is It Fair In Fairfax???

I wasn't the one who asked (I don't think), but it is a relief that you have such genius in charge backstage.
Belated birthday wishes to DR GEORGE and FJL.
I fogot to mention how much I like the new avatars for DR George and Ginny!
How was the staging? Is it just another also-ran production?
