Great notes.....I don't think I appreciate Mary Martin as much as I should, but her Peter Pan was so cloying and confusing to me when I saw it on television (why is that OLD woman pretending to be a young boy?) .... that I can't get past it. I like her on the Sound of Music OBC, and a bit less on the South Pacific OBC....but that's horse racing, I guess.
I am enjoying reading everyone's lists....and I am sad I did not get to see so many of these folks.....

Ethel Merman
Janis Paige - I love the Pajama Game OBC, and I was surprised when I checked the score I discovered her flats were not in the songs....
