Does anyone in HHW land (Jose, Larry, JR?) have the sheet music for either The Beauty that Drives Men Mad and/or We Could be Close from Sugar? If so, could you scan and email them to me today, perchance? The director of a reading that we're doing next week has just today discovered she can't find the music for these anywhere. Email me: jmkauffman@aol.com

I can fake these off the CD if need be, but one of the singers is desperate to see sheet music. Thanks!!!

Sorry no Sugar here. At least I don't think so.

Of course, when I went to my shelves, I noticed that Sugar was "missing". "Well, who would I have loaned that out too?" I could even see the cover in my head, like I had seen it recently.

Well, as I was about to respond to you, I realized the cover I had in my head was for Grind. Sugar...Grind Close, huh? -Well, at least they both had five letters... and a "g" and and an "r".

I love Gilbert & Sullivan! I had the great joy of seeing this on Broadway while Kevin Kline (whom I instantly fell in love with), George Rose, Rex Smith, and tony Azito were still with the show, and if I recall rightly, the nurse was being played by Angela Lansbury. One of the best days of theatre I ever had....

I, too, love Gilbert and Sullivan! Sharp lyrics, educated wit, and beautiful melodies by an underrated composer.

DRVixmom, Lansbury nenver played Ruth onstage to my knowledge, only in the film. You probably saw Estelle Parsons.

Speaking of the Magor General's song

Was the lyric "this unusually rapid unintelligible patter isn't generally heard and if it is, it doesn't matter"

added for the movie version of this show? I don't recall hearing this lyric in other versions of the show... hmmm, DR elmore can you tell me?

DRvixmom, the lyric you quote is an Act Two trio from RUDDIGORE, and it was interpolated into the Joseph Papp production. It was on the Central Park production, as I recall, and on Broadway.

Angela never did the show on Broadway. She was in the movie version. Estelle Parsons was the Broadway Ruth.

DR JMK - We (Dayton Metro Library) do sheet music searches for specific songs quite frequently. I tried our standard methods for locating the songs you mentioned and struck out

. Have you tried your local public library?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #95 on:** April 26, 2005, 01:20:21 PM »

Who'd a thunk that with this collection of Broadway Babies, you couldn't find two songs in sheet music form from "Sugar!"

DRJMK, I can get them for you, but it won't be soon enough for next week's reading. I have to go through the jule Styne. It took me months to get "Pitiful Penniless Bums" for JRand54.

Matt H. · « **Reply #97 on:** April 26, 2005, 01:25:04 PM »

Well, SUGAR has never been one of my favorites (despite Guy Haines/Brent Barrett's duet). So no surprise I don't have any music for it.

I have WHAT MAKES SAMMY RUN. Any takers?

JMK · « **Reply #98 on:** April 26, 2005, 01:33:00 PM »

Thanks for looking. I thought I had the vocal selections here somewhere, but I don't. We're doing a tribute to a longtime Portland director who recently passed away. We're doing selections from all of the shows he did through the years. You'd think I'd have Sugar, as I have the oddest assortment of vocal selections and conductor's scores that you could imagine: everything from Chu Chem to Via Gallactica to Here's Where I Belong to.....but no Sugar.

And yes, Vixmom, we started at the Portland library which has what is purported to be the largest score collection on the west coast (I can vouch for the fact that it's huger than San Francisco, don't know about L.A. or Seattle).

Jrand74 · « **Reply #99 on:** April 26, 2005, 01:43:35 PM »

Sorry JMK, as DRELMORE has indicated, the only SUGAR I have is Pitiful Penniless Bums. For some reason SUGAR music is notoriously difficult to find.

Terrea Lea is a folk singer from LA who owned The Garrett Coffee shop on Fairfax for many years. Though maybe you had been there, MR BK.

Potation would be in order for a birthday - or in fact any time!

DR RLP - I don't understand that commercial either - I thought maybe it was the mother's birthday - but NO - maybe they are bringing themselves to her as a birthday present for themselves...I DON'T KNOW.... It is a mystery.

Last night's '24' was incredibly suspenseful. And that ending -

Jewelry for my birthday. How perfect!

And TAR too. Well as long as Rob and Amber aren't eliminated. Now that irony would not be good. In fact I wonder if we will have an elimination at all. The previews say that Rob and Amber team up with Ron and Kelly. If they do, I doubt the grannies have a chance. Btw, elim or non-elimin, I would be surprised if the grannies don't finish last for the remainder of the shows.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #106 on:** April 26, 2005, 02:22:23 PM »

I would hate for this week to be a non-elimination since the old folks have slipped through a couple of times, and Lynn and Alex got axed the only time they were last. BUT....I would still like for Joyce and Uchenna to win.

Time will tell!

If elmore can put JMK in touch with Michael Lavine, he can have the Sugar material by tomorrow. I also think Lavine is listed in the NY directory. Use my name if you call him.

Friars behind on their belfry payments opened a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, a thug in town, to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that "Only Hugh can prevent florist friars."

When I was in college, I used to volunteer some times at the medical school. I was always very popular with the interns and med students becasue I didn't seem to have a gag reflex.

You would think that by now there would be some kind of internet site where one could buy sheet music and then download and print it out.

Had a lovelier than lovely luncheon with Pardner Pogue, who got his Errol Flynn box set. We both decided to have a Du-Par's breakfast - he, steak and eggs, me, bacon and eggs and a short stack. It was quite yummilcious, although long in getting to us.

I had a couple of interesting phone conversations when I got home. I must say, I'm feeling much better today, although the vocal box is still certainly not as strong as it will be in a day or two. I decided to have today's one Diet Coke at lunch. Since then, it's been water, and I also bought some juice in case I need a change of pace.

I'm also cutting back on the Actifed. I was taking four a day, and the doctor said three should be the limit.

No, the nurse was Estelle Parsons. She was replaced later in the run by Kaye Ballard. Angela took over in the Joseph Papp film of the same.

Other replacements, according to the IBDB, were Jim Belushi, Gary Sandy and Treat Williams as the Pirate King; Pam Dawber, Maureen McGovern (cf. this week's Broadway Radio Show), and Karla DeVito (best known to r&r fans as the female voice on "Paradise in the Dashboard Lights") as Mabel; Robby Benson, Peter Noone, and Patrick Cassidy as Frederic.

Thank you, WFO. I didn't think I saw Angela in the production, but I had forgotten it was Estelle Parsons. Of course, for months after I saw it, I was convinced that there was no one else in the cast besides Kevin Kline.

I have always liked Gary Sandy, and I thought he was a good choice for THE MUSIC MAN; but as the Pirate King?
