Premiere, with an e at the end, refers to the first public performance or showing of something, such as a movie or play. It can be a noun or a verb—for example, a movie premieres at its premiere. Premier, without the e, is (1) an adjective meaning first in status, and (2) a noun denoting a prime minister.
Both words have origins in the French adjective premier, meaning first in a sequence or first in quality. Premier came to English much earlier, however. Examples of its use can be found from as long ago as the 15th century. Premiere actually comes from the feminine of the adjective, première, and is short for première représentation, meaning first presentation. That phrase had already been shortened to just première in French when the word jumped over to English in the late 19th century.
Yes, that is me. I made that video because I was being harassed for lying about my age. Thanks for taking the time to find that video again, though. Not sure why it's relevant here.
I for one am very interested with this one. Good to see Kander still working. He's probably one of the best composers working today. I wish Jay would hurry up and release the Landing cast recording.
Yeah it seems they can't ever get together the money to actually do the post-production for the actual releases so they record them and they sit till the money comes around or something.
And you all are crapping your pants as if this is not only the first, but the most egregious lapse in grammar ever to grace these boards. Which of course it isn't. You all just have to continue your asinine witch hunt against Fantod wherever you can because he does't conform to the age limit you all determined has the right to an opinion.
Ooh, that one with John Barrowman and those British ladies. Julia McKenzie and Maria Friedman. I'd love for that one to be released. Any new Anyone Can Whistle recording would be great, I've heard my two so many times.
