Be sure to check out the NYPL and Museum of the City of New York photo archives. They alternate with pictures of various live performances. There are a lot of pictures of her from her many musicals such as "Barefoot Boy With Cheek", "Look Ma, I'm Dancin'", "Along Fifth Avenue" and "Copper & Brass", among others. She performed her big song from "Look Ma I'm Dancin'" on "The Ed Sullivan Show" as well as "Come U

I saw this at Theater Row back in 2013 where it had an extremely limited run (2 weeks), and saw "All the Way" afterwards. I had no idea that it was the same playwright when I saw "All the Way", but they were different enough to be unique. Of course, they have more of a name cast now for Lincoln Center, so I may re-visit, especially since it has been a long time. The intimacy of the small venue at Theater Row is what I remember, as well as a scene where LBJ reveals (nearly)
When Nancy made her film debut in "Best Foot Forward" (stealing the movie with her comic timing and super singing and dancing skills), she was compared to Patsy Kelly, another short, rather dumpy looking comic actress who was ending her film career that year (not returning for another 17 years), and had been the comic darling of the 1930's in a string of screwball comedies and musicals. Patsy had a difficult time finding acting work, but did some stock, apparently playing Hildy&
While it's not a musical, I'm wondering if she was ever considered as a replacement for Estelle Getty in "Torch Song Trilogy". Barbara Barrie played the role for a month in 1983, and Chevi Colton is also listed as a replacement, but I think Estelle played the part for the majority of the 3 year run.
This goes back nearly 90 years, but "Let Em' Eat Cake" was a follow-up to "Of Thee I Sing", which of course was a smash hit. The score for "Let Em' Eat Cake" is terrific, but they turned the presidential character into a dictator like figure which displeased audiences. It closed after about two months. The concert version, done with "Of Thee I Sing!", was recorded, and is enjoyable to listen to, but like many of the shows mentioned proves itself
I haven't had so much fun laughing at and with a show since "DOTV" (Why there was never a follow-up to "Not SInce Carrie" with a book called "Not Since DOTV" still baffles me) and "Spider Man 1.0". My friend, not a rock fan, looked at me after the first number with a "Springtime For Hitler" open mouth gape, and it became a recurring gag between us. There were several musical moments that sounded like "Dance of the Vampires", and
What a thrill to see the full major cast announced! I researched group tickets and it looks like the best tickets available for 10 or more a few weeks into the run are $250 and up. I have already planned to buy my ticket on the very day I get my federal tax return, just like I did for Bette in "Hello, Dolly!", which with fees was $209. As I saw Donna and Bernadette at discounted prices later on, I averaged my three "Dolly" visits to $100 each, and if they have some excitin
