@JonHartmere are you aware that THE FEMININE MYSTIQUE is problematic? Are there any intersectional feminism books that can be used in the new Britney musical? https://t.co/V6akVmjnFt
The 1994 #TonyAwards tribute to George Abbott/Best Revival presentation of a musical is such an awkwardly hilarious moment. Gwen Verdon very aware of the ticking clock, Jean Stapleton pronounces “damn” in the funniest way possible, all with 106yo Abbott being held up by the two.
The first-ever national promotional book tour was done in support of the autobiography of actress Gertrude Lawrence who would go on to win a #TonyAward originating the role of Anna in The King and I. #MusicalTheaterHistory#BookTourHistory
1/3 Soliloquy from Carousel is the epitome of WHY songs happen in musicals. Billy’s inability to communicate is his tragic flaw. Yet he sings one of the longest R&H solos ever written, allowing the audience deeper empathy and understanding than the play allowed.
