Seeing my request from two years ago, I can now confidently say, like Moms Mabley, "That old man is dead. Good."

PJ, I refer you to your promise above. I expect the book by year's end. re: BLT III - clip from 1980 WEST SIDE STORY Revival

Just finished reading through the entire 6 pages - so glad I asked the question, especially as I can never find what I'm looking for when I try searching. Thanks!

As a long-time lurker I just want to add my thanks for these memories. I've read this post a few times in the last few years, but never actually said "Thank you!" :)

Just read this entire thread. Wonderful!

"I know what a show-stopping song is. I know what you get a Tony for. Neither of those songs were it. And Sheryl Lee Ralph didn't even get nominated. Even with the new material. You know as an artist when somebody's giving you material that will stop a show. Give me the material. I know how to stop a show." - Tonya Pinkins Blocked: mjohnson2, Sue Storm (Sutton Ross), Fantod

Thank you for the wonderful stories, PJ, so beautiful and moving. And if you ever publish that memoir, I'll be first in line to buy it!

Feeling suddenly nostalgic, as John Lennon said, for "lovers and friends I still recall. Some are dead and some are living. In my life, I've loved them all."

Thank you for bumping this thread Joey. I always love re-reading your adventures on the WSS revival - - - I recall I gushed on to you about Hector Jaime Mercado.

I saw this revival but I don't remember anything about it. How is that other people have such perfect recall?

What I want to know is, who is TweetyPie1?

Oh, of course. That's why the background--which is NOT Oliver Smith's set!--looked so familiar. I didn't realize the "new" clip was just America number lifted from the same broadcast.
