Fremde, etranger, stranger. Happy to see you. Bleibe, reste, stay.
Please take a moment to introduce yourself.
If you’re not sure what to write, here are some prompts. Feel free to answer any, all or none of these:
- Favourite musical?
- First musical you saw?
- Bucket list musical? (A show you’ve never seen but really want to.)
- Most memorable musical experience?
- What are you hoping to get out of this community?
- Anything else you feel like adding.
On the other hand, if you’d rather just let your posts and comments speak for you and skip the introductions, then, as Jack’s Mother says in Into the Woods: “That’s okay too…”
Gypsy with Bette Midler on TV back in the '90s. i owned it on VHS. such nostalgia.
“have an eggroll, mr. goldstone”
@itsAsin Such a good show. Gypsy is often described as having the perfect book of a musical.
Have you seen any of the other filmed versions of Gypsy? There’s another movie with Rosalind Russell from the 60s, and a pro-shot of the 2015 London production with Imelda Staunton.
(I happened to be at the performance they filmed… though it’s also possible they shot it over several nights.)
i am going to check those out! i know that Ethyl Merman famously played Mama Rose back in the day. every 4th of July i do my biggest Ethyl Merman belt of ‘God Bless America’ and get a bunch of laughs.
i am glad you made this community! i read over your post history earlier and lots of great info and memories. thanks!
