Ok, so saw Sweet Charity.
I liked it. LOVED the costumes and especially the dance sequence at Club Pompeii. I don't know if they used Fosse Fosse Fosse's choreography, but whatever it was, it was just fantastic. Molly's dancing was a bit stiff. I could see that she was concentrating REALLY HARD on all of her dance moves and she would sometimes seem so into her concentration, that she wasn't having fun, which is the whole point to making it look good. She was definitely outdanced, especially in "There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This" where Nickie and whatshername just stood out. And she seemed uncomfortable during "If My Friends Could See Me Now". Maybe it was because it was a Thursday night, but she was really low energy. I wonder how she made it through Cabaret. I can't see her doing smoldering and aloof. And the dancing in Cabaret is a huge part of the show.
Vitorio and Ursula kind of chewed up the scenery, but Charity in the closet was funny as hell.
Oscar in the elevator was funny. REALLY funny. Our Oscar was great.
I didn't like the "I'm a Brass Band" number. But then, it was a very typical 60's musical sequence. Dance dance dance - star comes in and sings stuff - dance dance dance - star comes out and sings a bit and then poses. Song over.
And at the end, when Oscar came out for his curtain call, I booed him. Rat bastard. Hmmmph.
But, all in all, I really liked the show and need to Netflix the Shirley McClaine movie.
It's going to be dyed pink. And I will be Pink Freud.
BRILLIANT!!!!
Tom is home nursing a proto cold because we have a wedding this weekend and he CANNOT BE SICK. And neither can I. It's the wedding of one of my oldest and bestest friends. It's relatively near by (in CT), and should be a lot of fun.
Have fun! And much preventive-ma for Tom.
Oh, I am so hearting Pink Freud. I think I need a Pink Freud, actually. The world would be a better place had there been a Pink Freud.
Aimee! So glad you enjoyed it, even if it wasn't top-notch. I'll be very interested to hear your comparison of the very-60s-musical movie and the show.
OH! Poems!
t imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
Happy Birthday, Cashmere.
Your presents--may you like.

Happiest birthday, Cash! Please take lots of pictures of yourself as that would be a present to me.
Raq = Always up for the cool fun.
I'm making my wife coffee. The limpet is attached and getting milk mouth.
Aimee, you'll definitely like the movie version of Sweet Charity. The scenes at Club Pompei are the best.
Happy Birthday, Cashmere!
Also, happy wedding day, Jars!
I get an unexpected 1/2 day today and am going to see Emmylou Harris tonight with my folks (up in Lancaster which is like 90 minutes away, bah, but still...Emmylou Rocks!!!)
Happy Birthday, Cashmere!!
Happy Getting Married Day to Jars and (soon to be) DH!!
Would this be a good dress on me? [link]
My housemate's got a UT infection, apparently. What, other than cranberry juice, can she try?
