Apparently, there's a Broadway revival of Gypsy in the works with Audra McDonald as Madame Rose. Imelda Staunton, who played Madame Rose in London a few years ago, will be starring in Hello, Dolly! in London this summer. I have a DVD recording of a performance of the production of GYPSY with Imelda...

Apparently, there's a Broadway revival of Gypsy in the works with Audra McDonald as Madame Rose. Here's Mickey Jo Boucher discussing it in a video from his YouTube channel Mickey Jo Theatre. At the beginning he talks the history of the Athur Laurents/Jule Styne/Stephen Sondheim musical and its vario...

Yes, the movie is Tommy.

It's now your turn to "spoil" a movie!

Second hint: The movie was a British production, but it did very well at the box office in the US.

It's difficult to pick the "greatest" American musicals. Musica;s are my favorite movie genre, but I tend to go with ones I like rather than ones that scholars and critics would call "great." So, my favorite American musicals are: 1. Cabaret [probably no surprise to anyone] 2. V...

Next: The title character escapes the mob that killed his mother and climbs to the top of a mountain. Bumping up this thread because it's now last on the page, its headed for page 2 oblivion.

It sounds like Son Of Fury with the beautiful Tyrone Power and the beautiful Gene Tierney as the native girl, both of them were at the height of their beauty.

Just once I'd love to see THE BIRDS and MARNIE without an intro or outro mentioning Hitchcock's misogynistic treatment of women, Tippi Hedren in particular (and now I've learned he also sexually harrassed Diane Baker). Last night I heard that a major theme in his movies is "the dominant male&q...

I've never seen the original (her name escapes me) which is considered the best one. So unlike Margaret Rutherford's l...

When needing a quick dessert I sometimes mix chocolate chip morsels into my Philadelphia cream cheese and then just gobble it up on a plate. A bagel isn't even necessary!
