Angela Davis for The Diana Ross Story

Rachael Lily Rosenbloom, for the only original film made this year, Cobra Goddess on Pink Flamingo Road

The envelope and Cloris Leachman memorial letter opener please!

The winner is, Rachael Lily Rosenbloom!!

There really aren't any words to describe this show, except to say after tonight's wildly brilliant performance at 54 Below this show needs to take its rightful place next to the greats. Move over Oklahoma, Follies, Sunday in the Park and Dolly. Rachael Lily Rosenbloom has dethroned you all. I think it's fair to say that we've never seen a character quite like this on the musical theater stage before.

The actors tonight were terrific; Bonnie Milligan as Rachael was sensational beyond belief. Everyone was basically off book and the production numbers somehow had choreography on that tiny stage.

There were so cuts to the score and some rearranging of the book, all I assume for the sake of squeezing it into a 90 minute program (Last Dance was added for a finale).

There is no bottom to the depth of my gratitude for the people who put this evening together. It was truly a dream realized.

I love him, because he's, I don't know, because he's just my fish. What a dish!

Jehovah? Buddha? Allah? God? ANYONE?!?! The first person to answer gets 10% of my nightclub act!

Glinda: It's a land of opportunity. Of Beauty. Of Glamour. Do you know where I'm talking about?

Rachael: Jackson Heights?

There are only three things of importance in this world: fame, fortune and good fvck.

Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco. Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

I'm surprised they could find all the sheet music.

I had hoped to attend tonight. Alas, the snowstorm played havoc with work schedule. Sigh

All credit goes to 54 Below's amazing Jennifer Ashley Tepper for making it happen.

From what I gather often times they create their own sheet music from not-so-commercial or legal recordings.
