I thought this was why we were discussing Brigadoon--must have missed a post again.

Ok, I find no mention of Elaine Stewart's death in yesterday's posts about Brigadoon. ARe you trying to gaslight me?

Nope, I honestly thought someone must have mentioned Elaine's death, leading to the discussion of BRIGADOON. What I meant by missing a post is I must have missed the actual post that started the BRIGADOON conversation.

And she was married to Merrill Heatter.

The Brigadoon posts started when Peter Falk died and Matthew S posted a link to the TV version with Falk, Robert Goulet and Sally Ann Howes. But, death did have something to do with it.

Didn't DR Laura start the Brigadoon discussion by asking if it would be a good candidate for a Broadway revival?

No, it started yesterday with the discussion of the TV version. Following the discussion of Peter Falk's death.

Later I went to see Master Class , which is in previews. It stars Tyne Daly and Sierra Boggess. For those interested, here she is singing with Julian Ovenden, who's now in Death Takes a Holiday:

Thank you. I enjoyed that very much. I know Ovenden from the wonderful FOYLE'S WAR & had no idea of his other talents.

I haven't thought about this in a LONG time, but many years ago, a couple of friends of mine would do a fake "reunion" cabaret act that they called, The Sound of Music Man of La Mancha. In their "act," they would talk about how this was the first time that they had gotten together since they broke up years ago. What was really funny was that it was almost totally improvised! They would talk about their "act" and just go musically where their ramblings led them. They mainly did songs from the three shows, but not exclusively. And they'd also ask a member of the audience to come up and sing with them, but unbeknownst to the rest of the audience, that person was actually part of the show and totally in on it. It was hysterical!

On Sunday I tried my luck at the Book of Mormon lottery, but lost. I think I"ve entered the Wicked lottery about 25 times and have never won, so I'm used to not winning.

I went to see The Normal Heart matinee. It really is a powerful play. The acting was terrific. When the cast came out for the curtain call, not one smiled. Of course it was appropriate, but it was just so unusual to see that when people are cheering and applauding.

Later I went to see Master Class , which is in previews. It stars Tyne Daly and Sierra Boggess. I didn't really know what to expect. I had a vague idea of what it was about, but didn't realize that "Maria Callas" would be talking to the audience as if they were students! The show was very enjoyable and Sierra really showed off her lovely voice. For those interested, here she is singing with Julian Ovenden, who's now in Death Takes a Holiday:

I'm disappointed I never saw her in Love Never Dies in London last year when I was in England.

Kevin, did you see her in PHANTOM in Las Vegas (with Brent)?

Speaking of Brigadoon, I believe there's a pretty great recording with DR elmore's beloved Rebecca Luker, Judy Kaye and a certain "BB!"

Bridget Bardot?

Yes, I think I saw her about 3 times before she left to do The Little Mermaid.
