DR FREDDIE we had a total of 16 customers for us in the four hours we were there.

Of course there were many other customers in the store for other reasons.

Not exactly crowded - not pandemonium.


16 customers - sounds worth it.

I packed up a crate of books yesterday to donate.  Now if I do that every day for a month, I might make some headway.

In summer 1998, I orchestrated a terrible production of Redhead at Goodspeed. The book's mess, and the director and choreographer did nothing to fix it. Bob Fosse clearly was more concerned in creating a vehicle for Gwen Verdon than fixing it in 1958. I cannot listen to her opn the recording because her inept attempts at a Brit accent irritate me.

To my lunatic mother's credit, because we were poor white trash, she knew I loved muscal theatre, so she always looked in bargain bin in drug stores and groceries for inexpensive show albums. Two of my earliest albums were Hill Bowen's British recordings of Redhead and The Music Man on RCA Camden. I justr got on eBay, the CD of Bowen's Redhead, coupled with the 1959 Mexican cast recording. So, I listened to that along wioth the OBC recording. The score is better than I remembered, and the Russell Bennett-Phil Lang orchestrations are quite wonderful.

Hi everyone! Today on the Broadway Radio Show we are looking the history of Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre, which is currently home to Back to the Future, the Musical, but we're going to go way back in time to look at the musicals that have played there since it's opening in 1911!

Please, DRs, I need your serious help with vibes, p[rayers, good wishes, whatever: It took me an hour to vacuum, and as soon as I turned my back to put the vacuum cleaner away, one of the cats - I still suspect Stella - had diarrhea in two spots:  next to their food dishes and in the middle of the living area.

I need a serious job, a recording or show to give me enough money to afford the cats a trip to the vet, the soober the better.

So, Larry, you're saying the missed casting of the last century would have been Gwen Verdon and Dick Van Dyke as British music hall performers?

That might be more of an embalming table....

And you can always tell the joke my mortician friend Jim said:  "My wife wanted me to help her with her makeup - but I couldn't get her to lie down."

Haha!

Cats. “Now and Forever at the Winter Garden.” False advertising, that.

Might be the one Broadway house I never saw a show at. Because I never saw Cats and what came after? Mamma Mia?
