....And when I sat down on the ferry back to Manhattan, it suddenly dawned on me that that was first time I had sat down since 7:30 this morning. I was literally on my feet for 11 hours straight.  Whew!

I am so overwhelmed by this Complete Works of Bach set I can hardly stand it.  In a good way.

T.O.D.


First Broadway musical I saw was the tourig company of ONCE UPON A MATTRESS, starring Imogene Coca, King Donovan (Mr. Imogene Coca), and Edward Everett Horton.  It was a wonderful production and the whole day would have been perfect if Ms Coca hadn't been such a bitch to an adorable young man who just wanted her autograph.

First Broadway musical on Broadway was HELLO, DOLLY! starring Pearl Bailey, Cab Calloway, and the All-Black cast.

Now I want to hear the story of why she was such a bitch.

As for the Topic of the Day...

My first Broadway show on tour was either The King & I or Fiddler On the Roof with one of "THE" Tevye's.  -I forget which one.  But I do remember that it was at the National Theatre in DC. -And I also remember how seeing that house open-up like a story book was so magical.

My first Broadway show on Broadway was Brighton Beach Memoirs - the first replacement cast. John Cryer was playing Eugene.  -And then my second Broadway show on Broadway, which I saw the next afternoon (a Wednesday), was Biloxi Blues with the original cast. It was in the second week of previews.

Alas, the first Broadway musical I saw on Broadway - which was the evening following Biloxi Blues - was The Tap Dance Kid.  Most of the original cast was still in it. Alas, Alfonso Ribiero was out that night, and I believe the "kid" we saw was only on for the second or third time.

*Oh, and I still remember the one running joke in The Tap Dance Kid:

"First Prize: one weeks in Philadelphia. Second Prize: two weeks in Philadelphia. Yuck-yuck-yuck."

-Or something like that.

Umm...

I shall attempt to post a few more later.  Once I have the energy to do so. ;)

*Although, due to various departure times - and some extremely low-lighting at Joe Allen - there was no group shot taken of the dinner table. :-\

I loved that show on tour. Jerry Zaks took over the direction and Harold Nicholas was playing the grandfather. He was spectacular. And I think the score has a couple of terrific songs, including "Some Day."

First Broadway musical on Broadway was HELLO, DOLLY! starring Pearl Bailey, Cab Calloway, and the All-Black cast.

The years must have mellowed Ms. Coca. I met her after some forgotten dinner theater production (also starring King Donovan) and wanted my vocal score of "On the 20th Century" autographed. She grabbed the book and leafed through the whole thing looking at all of the photographs and talking about how wonderful that production had been. In the meantime, her full-sized poodles ran through the dining room licking a few of the plates set out for the evening performance.

I met her about 10 years later when I got Judy Kaye to autograph the same book. They were both in a touring production of "20th Century" and Coca said she remembered signing the book.

And it was those damn full-sized poodles that made her turn on me.  The very large dogs with their diamond collars found my crotch to be irresistible.  And she started yelling at me because she had perverted dogs.
