"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Loved her since Grease 2 , was so happy to finally get to see her in White Christmas, wishing her all the best
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Does anyone have any updates on Lorna's brain tumor prognosis? I am hoping that she will survive this health crisis as Liza did her many illnesses through the years. I had the pleasure of seeing Lorna in the touring company of " Guys and Dolls" and "White Christmas." She is a remarkable performer in her own right and she did inherit the classic Garland belting singing voce. When Lorna gets over this terrible illness, she should think about teaming with Liza for a spectacular NYC concert. What a draw that would be! Of course, they would have to do the number "Sisters" from Irving Berlin's "White Christmas." They could also pay tribute to their mother with medley of Garland hits from all of her MGM and later movie years. Since Fred Ebb is no longer around to write the show, I would be most interested in taking a crack at it if anyone with connections to Lorna and/or Liza are reading this.

Meanwhile, get bettah Lorna and stay healthy Liza. I love you both!!!

Hope she's going to be ok.  I have seen her perform many times over the years.  

Go ahead and write the show, book the theatre and let us know when tickets go on sale.

Fenna Bruce, here again. I am very disappointed that since Lorna Luft has been diagnosed with a brain tumor there have been no updates regarding her medical condition. I was hoping that there would be since I, like so many of the readers of "Broadwayworld.com" are very concerned about Lorna and are hoping to read of her full recovery.

If anyone has found a current story on line about how things are progressing with Lorna Luft's condition please post it on this chat board. In this case, I hope and pray the old adage will prove true: "No news is good news;" but I am fearful that due to the gravity of this illness on top of her history of breast cancer, there is every reason to fear the worst. I hope that I am proven to be wrong. Lorna, we care deeply about you and Liza. You are like distant relatives to us even though we have never met. Please get well quick!
