I grew up on theater. even before the rock stuff. I'd take an evening of theater over a rock show any day. sorry, lol.

I don't blame you. I am grateful to my sister who was unlike any of her peers. She was the one who was playing West Side Story in 1960 on the hi-fi as well as other Broadway soundtracks (Camelot, My Fair Lady, Gypsy, The Sound of Music).

My grandmother did her best to raise us on musical theater. West Side Story, however, was not among the things she exposed me to. I'm somewhat familiar with it, but I've never seen it (nor read the play).

 

Give me My Fair Lady, The Music Man, Gigi, Camelot, or Fiddler on the Roof any day, though. :)

 

Those are all great too.

MP is now six votes out in front. Blood is in the water and the sharks are gathering. We're seeing social Darwinism at work; weakness is sensed and the herd gangs up.

 

Have no fear! Riff and the Jets ought to be showing up soon.

 

:popcorn:

 

You rule for making a West Side Story reference, lol

Can't you hear the snapping fingers coming this way?

 

i can see some gorgeous Dancing coming too.

Gee, Officer Krupke we're very upset

We never had the love that every child oughta get

We ain't no delinquents, we're misunderstood

Deep down inside us there is good

 

I used to sing that on my back porch when I was about six or seven. My mother was mortified.

 

I used to sing everything from this album. I remember how bummed I was when I found out that they dubbed in Natalie Wood's voice.

 

I'm listening to the Broadway play version.

 

That was Marnie Nixon. She's still alive. I saw in the paper a few weeks ago she just celebrated her 84th (I think) birthday.

 

She did quite a bit of singing in movies from what I remember. She also sang for Deborah Kerr in The King and I.

I think Fiddler is my absolute favorite.

I understand what you're saying. I'm not sure if I could actually pick a play or musical over Rush but I would be tempted.

Then there's Sweeney Todd...haha...reminds me of when I was in college. I never pledged a fraternity, but I spent a lot of time in a house that was made up of just about all theater and English majors. And they rented out a VFW hall or something like that, for a Halloween party, and my best friend out of all those guys was Sweeney Todd. I'll never forget walking in to the hall all done up for Halloween, and he's actually got a barber's chair in the middle of the floor, and he's standing behind it in costume, fake dried blood on his face and his white shirt, holding one of those old-style switchblade-type razors, and exclaiming in his booming theater-voice, "Shave and a haircut, two bits...HAHAHAHA...shave and a haircut, two bits..." He was nuts. But in the best way. :)

The pro-Hemi (and PeW?) crowd is in one of those post-victory euphoric states, where fans sit around an BS long after the contest has been decided.
