The original Cabaret

original cast of Chicago (saw this but would love to see again)

original cast of 1776 (also saw this but would love to see again)

original West Side Story

original Follies  ( I loved the latest incarnation)

Here's a little topic that an old friend of mine just posted on FB minutes ago. Could stir up some interesting response posts:

"If you could take a time machine to see a matinee that you missed by mere accident of, well, time, what would you see?"

A few of the responses so far, were his own - Ruth Gordon's Dolly Levi. Others were Brando in Streetcar, My Fair Lady, and Fanny Brice in The Zeigfeld Follies.

My thoughts went to Frank Langella's Dracula, Len Cariou's Sweeney Todd (both of which I saw but I've love to revisit), and the original cast of Company with Dean Jones.

Anyone?

Original Follies. The original Jubilee. The original Glass Menagerie with Laurette Taylor. Merman in anything, including Happy Hunting, but preferably Gypsy.

Had truffled scrambled eggs and melon for breakfast with a glass of chenin blanc. That's my idea of civilized.

Dang ! Was that today?  And  here I am with the chilled champagne

Sorry, but there are more. The greater part will be next weekend.

   I better start driving now

[John G.]

waking up at 8:20 threw a spanner into the works

I would say that's an understatement.

[vixmom]

original La Cage Aux Folles (also saw this but would love to be able to show it to the Vixter)

[vixmom]

waking up at 8:20 threw a spanner into the works

I would say that's an understatement.

 The Vixter had served as assisting minister at the Saturday evening service (between her job at the steak house and her job as the church Sexton)  so she was planning on sleeping in before going to work at 11 am at the steak house

instead the poor child was  wakened by a wild eyed crazy woman who demanded that she immediately drive to church and make coffee and set out pastries for 250 so I could perform my duties as assisting minister

RYacko, where do you think these Facebook wags get these topics?   We've done the Time Machine topic specifically about theatre many times.  I do feel that soon we will be the most popular site on all the Internet, which is why you see our influence EVERYWHERE

Silly me. I should have known. *facepalm*

This came from a friend from Temple University, Sidney Burgoyne, who is also an aficionado of this kind of way back machine topic  .

[vixmom]

God bless her, she did it, and without complaint.

[ryacko]

I'll tell you whose birthday is today - Nancy Dussault.  We love her.

We do. Happy Birthday, Nancy!

[vixmom]

then after the service  I took over at the coffee table and she went home to get ready for work

[vixmom]

then after the next service began the lady who serves as our weekday Sexton helped me clean everything up in the kitchen

LOL I'm sure you needed the extra sleep.

Then I cleaned up the communion  service  and took my "elderly lady" out to Panera for lunch

[Jane]

God bless her, she did it, and without complaint.

I expected as much.

[vixmom]

My favorite summer salad is back!!

[Jane]

Watching a motion picture I've only seen snippets of - The Piano.  It's very - arty and I could live without the vomit scene the occurs but five minutes into the film.  I do like the actors very much and had no idea a child Anna Paquin was in this.

She only won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in The Piano.

[Jane]

I didn't like the movie.

[vixmom]

then i brought her home and went to visit an old friend for dinner

[vixmom]

and now I am home!!

[vixmom]

Last night, I watched, for the first time  uncut and without commercial, "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"  which was showing on my local PBS station

[Jennifer]

I can't stop thinking of DR Danise.  The neighbor's tree fell on her house and her car.  She and the dogs are fine but it isn't safe for her to go inside.

MEGA VIBES FOR DR DANISE!!!!!

Thanks for telling us what we were sending vibes for.

[vixmom]

That was movie making - the story was told without showing any gore - all violence took place just out side of the camera's eye - and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time

much preferred it to ANYTHING  Quentin Tarratino has ever directed

[Michael]

I spent the day watching movies on Blu Ray that I got for $10. Lawrence of Arabia, Aliens & Taxi Driver. A very interesting collection

[John G.]

I didn't like the movie.

I didn't like it much, either. Hated the music, which may have had something to do with it.

But I loved Paguin and I'm loving her in Margaret, which I'm almost finished watching. Hard as it is to sit through, she's something else.

In "When Pigs Fly," there's a drag queen Bette Davis with a mannequin of Joan Crawford. Needless to say, things did not go well for the dummy.

 I  see she posted some pictures on FB  from her phone- it looks pretty bad -  that poor woman first the evil contractor who destroyed her home and now she is finally back in her house with a new kitchen and THIS happens!

Well, no one can say we didn't get to page six.  Of the shows I've never seen, I would like to take my Time Machine and go back and see Merman in Gypsy, the original production of Long Day's Journey Into Night, the original The Glass Menagerie, the original South Pacific, and the show I missed by an hour on my 1966 trip to NY - I Do! I Do! with Martin and Preston.  I'm sure there are many others.  And, of course, Judy Holliday in Bells are Ringing.

Will we never get to page twenty?
