Ladies, let's not be hamstrung by D's absence! He would not want that!

Of course not, but the ER scene in particular seems tricky?

Just in terms of working with only our charactrers.

Was ist?

final jeopardy was about presidential assassinations

i get excited about those

Hmmm....one wonders about that editorial choice. 😉

mckinley, at that

I always do well with that trivia mostly because i had a period of deep obsession with the assassins musical

and McKinley is from here

I'd forgotten there was an assassins musical.

Yikes! I forgot what time it was! Need to feed the cats, BRB!

Aaaand.... Things.

I sing this Every Time I drive past the McKinley memorial in Niles

BIG BILL

I love this musical so hard....

Yes!

And the music is so brilliant - the way sondheim plays with dissonance? the broken-patriotic themes?

AND all of the ballads are done in the popular music style of the assassins time - that's why Froome & Hinkley have a soft-rock love song

Hmmm....

It is SO EXTRA rahne.

if you are wonkish about history at all, you can really get into it

Okay, it's going on the list of Things I Ought To See.

yes!

at least listen to

the off broadway recording has the whole scene between boothe and oswald

I used to get to see a few musicals in Manhattan every year. That was Many Years Ago.

yeeaaahhhh

I have seen Chicago, Wicked and Cabaret on Broadway

everything else was a tour or other production

Let's see.... A Chorus Line, Annie, Edwin Drood, The Wiz....hmm....Noises Off but that's not a musical... I know there were many more.

Never saw Cats.

Wanted to, but timing was bad.

I like Cats, even if it is naught but fluff

LOVE chorus line

Oh, Godspell

I love the music, but haven't seen a production I like

but ohhhhhhhhhh, music

I saw it with the original cast. I was a kid back then. And I think it was off-Broadway, actually, not sure.

Ooo

but yeah, Day by Day alone. sigh

I grew up on All For The Best.

YES

I love that one too

pattery

Yup. I do a few patter songs, and I think I got my taste for it from early exposure to that one.

SO good
