More information at the link about the MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG revival being filmed

"Tony-Winning ‘Merrily We Roll Along’ Being Filmed By RadicalMedia, Same Company That Shot & Produced ‘Hamilton’ Movie"

Great news - thanks for sharing! I thought the Hamilton film was really well done.

I can guarantee you it would not have THAT kind of insanity. This was really like nothing I've seen before. A bunch of insane Sondhead FANatics going at it, with virtually no Invaluable online bidders winning a single item. Invaluable is the auction site I use because you can register for auctions everywhere through them and there's no fee or anything. I'm guessing all the NY Sondheads were in the room where it happened and perhaps a couple of the really high ticket items went to really successful people like Lin-Manuel Miranda or Spielberg - I don't know how anyone could bid those gold records up that high. Nuts.

I don't think that Sondheim autographs have gone up significantly - this craziness was because their Lord and Master, Mr. Sondheim owned this stuff.

I'm so trashed. Not even two hours of sleep last night. I did get about forty-five minutes on the couch, and then an additional ninety when I plopped down in bed.

Dear me, I'm about to hit a new high number, but the one after that will really be something.

Have started A Man and a Woman. It’s not what I expected. And I like it. Love that music.

Anouk Aimee was certainly beautiful.

Remembering this Willie Mays tribute song "Say Hey, Willie"
from a "Partridge Family" episode sung by the very young Ricky Segall
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH-4SUP-d0U

My memory of the song was of Ricky Segall singing it better than that, maybe on a variety show, but the Partridges (with David Cassidy on the banjo) seem to be enjoying Ricky's rendition.

Anouk Aimee has died at 92. I may stream A Man and a Woman later.

I saw that earlier.

I need to take out the as-yet-unused kazoo we were all given when I played in How to Succeed, which I didn't have to play because at least a dozen of the orchestra played theirs, and sit down with "Two Roads".

Oh, you mean this "Two Roads"?

I'm rearranging things and I found this in a box that I was looking through.

George · « **Reply #164 on:** June 18, 2024, 09:59:45 PM »

I also came across this:

George · « **Reply #165 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:00:28 PM »

These shall no longer be hidden away in a box...in a pile with other music on a shelf, yes, but not in a box.

George · « **Reply #166 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:01:58 PM »

I also found this and took a picture a few days ago and forgot to post it:

George · « **Reply #167 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:03:09 PM »

THEN, I found a box of vintage (1950s-1960s) Playbills and Stagebills in seven binders that a theater friend gave me years ago.

George · « **Reply #168 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:04:35 PM »

He got them from someone who didn't want them, and then he didn't want them, so he offered them to me for free!

George · « **Reply #169 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:05:05 PM »

I, of course, took them, and promptly hid them away in a box.

George · « **Reply #170 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:05:42 PM »

But now, the binders are on a shelf in my living room, so they can be looked through.

George · « **Reply #171 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:06:45 PM »

I didn't look through many of them (yet), but in just flipping through some of them, I found a Playbill from the original production of Gypsy with Ethel Merman!

George · « **Reply #172 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:07:38 PM »

I didn't think to take a picture of that, but I did have the presence of mind to take a picture of this:

George · « **Reply #173 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:07:59 PM »

And this:

George · « **Reply #174 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:08:15 PM »

Both Gypsy and ALNM Playbills were from the original productions and casts!

George · « **Reply #175 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:09:36 PM »

And BK, in amongst the Playbills in the binders was this program:

George · « **Reply #177 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:10:13 PM »

Pretty cool, huh?

George · « **Reply #178 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:11:29 PM »

Some Playbills even had ticket stubs stapled to them!

George · « **Reply #179 on:** June 18, 2024, 10:12:42 PM »

A couple of ticket stubs fell out of a binder, but they didn't have the show title printed on the stubs. $:-\$
