My oldest brother is my senior by 21 years. He is 93; I am 72. His oldest son, my nephew, is one year older than me. Perhaps not the norm, but in my experience this sort of familial age difference is not uncommon.
I just want to see someone of the caliber of Kristen Chenoweth (age 50) or Audra McDonald (age 48) sing "Till There Was You". Give me that, and I will be willing and happy to accept that they have a 10-year-old brother.
To be clear, I suggested Rosie for one of the "Pick a Little" ladies. I said nothing about her performing as Mrs Paroo, either in the past or for this production.
I called twice yesterday and spoke to two different agents. Shortly after my second call, the first agent called me to follow up with my original question. Both gentlemen were courteous, patient, helpful and just plain nice. The only attitude they displayed was positive. Couldn't haven't received better service, which has been my experience every time I have called over the past many years.
I definitely will be taking the train north from my home in San Diego for "Swan Lake" at the Ahmanson. Very excited to see this Matthew Bourne production (for my 73rd birthday in January). This Sadler's Wells clip is from about a year ago.
Checked the "Playhouse" website. Their calendar shows those additional dates, but states "Tickets Not On Sale". Maybe the tickets will open soon to the general public? Good luck to those hoping to see "Diana".
I purchased "Diana" tickets soon after they went on sale. Later, the run was extended by one week. Today, I received an e-mail from the "Playhouse" announcing that the play is being extended for another week, April 9-14, eight performances. I was offered the opportunity to purchase tickets for the April 9-14 dates before they go on sale to the general public, but the message didn't say when that option would be open to the general public.&n
WHY do you think it is good to post here? Please delete. This YouTube poster posts some great stuff and I would hate for it to all get deleted and we never see it again."
A few years ago, at her CD signing the night before a concert, the planets aligned and I was fortunate to spend time with her. Mostly we talked about London in the late 1960's, where I saw her on stage in "Promises, Promises" while living in Scotland. I had saved the program from so many decades before, and she spent some moments looking at it before signing it for me. Just a very happy meeting with a lovely person.
Sandy Wilson's 1953 "The Boy Friend," starring Anne Rogers. When it opened on Broadway the following year, it starred Julie Andrews in her American stage debut. Ken Russell's 1971 film version starred Twiggy. Talented ladies, all.
DAME said: "It was not my intention with this thread to attack anyone."
Is that so? Then why, in your original post, did you include a sentence (which you deleted the following day) implying that she might actually be visiting Disneyland.....a not-so-veiled reference to the now-debunked postings that claimed Betty Buckley was kicking up her heels at Disney World at the same time she was missing Orlando shows due to illness? With this th
