I saw that revival tour of Stop the World. Not good. And there was no audience for it. I remember the costumes being particularly ugly.

[John G.]

Two!

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, DR Ginny!!!

The Golden Globes nominations are out May December is up for best comedy or musical. Maestro is up for best drama; I guess it’s not considered musical enough.

BK speaks for me when it comes to being a purist regarding Stop the World.

I never saw the production y'all are talking about, and I thank the universe for this stroke of luck. I did, however, recently watch the weird movie version with Tony Tanner for the first time since seeing it on its release in the late '60s, and I was even appalled at that one. I'd remembered very little of it, and I could hardly believe how much had been done to it even then. Some of it must surely have been their attempt to make it more movie-audience friendly, but who knows. What a disappointment.

[ChasSmith]

I, too, am glad I saw the Bernadette Dolly!

I never liked Stop the World . . . Horse racing, I guess.

This afternoon, for my first time seeing it at all, I'm going to see Waitress at the local AMC.

I, too, am glad I saw the Bernadette Dolly!

I wish I liked her and Victor Garber better; she backphrased too much. I also missed the original Oliver Smith sets and Gower Champion's stylized over-the-top approach. For me, the revival was still fun but no cigar.

Totally agree re the backphrasing. I just wish I had clearer memories of the original. I saw Ginger Rogers on Broadway, and Channing on tour the following year.

Happy Birthday, DR GINNY!

DR JOHN G I was just going to remind DR RODZINSKI about the Masterpiece game.

It was fun!  And the paintings were lovely!

[Jrand74]

I don't know from revivals.....but I've never heard a revival cast album that could replace the OBC for me.....except maybe the early 1990's version of Joseph/Dreamcoat.

[Jrand74]

A Zoom Q & A would be a lot of fun!

[John G.]

I don’t see a lot of revivals of shows I have seen originally. Too many other options and often, too many fond memories of the originals. A few revivals I wish I had seen:

Nine
Jake Gyllenhall in Sunday in the Park with George
The revival of Follies with Kaye Ballard, Ann Miller and Dee Hoty or the one with Barbara Cook and Lee Remick

[John G.]

One revival I wish I had not seen, even on film was Sutton Foster in Anything Goes.

[John G.]

Time to move. My stress test got moved up 45 minutes.

[John G.]

But first, let’s get off this page.

[John G.]

Two.

[John G.]

Onward.
