I also have lots of Playbills that I'm looking to part with. Many signed, also a few window cards, signed and unsigned. Many in color, some semi-rarities. If anyone is interested, please send me a message and I'll send you a list of what I've got. Thanks a million!

michealb, we seem to agree on a lot of things, but NOT this....gavin's hair needs to stay exactly where it is. maybe a trim for those split ends that are no doubt there, but GAH!!! no haircuts.

ugh....how can you pass up Lansbury in favor of Merman?!?! I know, I may be the antichrist for saying that but GAH....just listen to Lansbury's Rose's Turn....the woman is AMAZING...sure, it may be a little odd to hear the British accent, and sure they lowered the keys, but EVEN SO!!!
i'm not terribly passionate about much, but i AM passionate about La Lansbury's Rose.
then maybe Bern, Midler, Tricia Williams, the woman who played it in my production that i directed a few years ago, Merman, Daly...Russell & Buckley are LOOOOOOOOOW on my list.

i'm more concerned about this big ole flop of an expensive "musical" that's beginning previews in october. i'm hoping that it's going to be amazing but i'm not holding my breath.

I'm a lover of both the novel and the film...it's about the only Speilberg film that i do enjoy. in regards to the stereotypes of the men, is this not told from Celie's point of view? Thru Celie's eyes, would the men not appear domineering, overpowering, etc? Granted, I'm not a semi literate girl/woman of color in the old south, but the movie made sense to me.
In regards to the musical, all I can say is I seriously hope they've done lots of rethinking, reworking & LOTS of rewriti
