"You remind me of a man..."

There's been some fun banter on Twitter between SarahB, Chelsea and myself about various Cary Grant films. Chels is going to be taking in some of his features which will be shown as part of Washington DC's National Theatre Summer Cinema 2010.

One of my all-time favorite Cary Grant moments, courtesy of the 1947 classic The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. Cary Grant, Myrna Loy, Shirley Temple (all grown up), Harry Davenport and Ray Collins star. Sidney Sheldon won the Oscar for his original screenplay (which has been adapted for stage by F. Andrew Leslie and is licensed by Dramatists Play Service). Enjoy:

"We Will Rock Q"

The folks over at Avenue Q got wind of that Muppets music video turned viral sensation of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Not to be outdone, the gang at New World Stages (including Mrs. T!) have made their own music video using "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions." This kinda makes me want to go back and visit the Q again. Enjoy.

A Mini Play for Today

At rise: "A Weekend in the Country" is playing in the house. Kevin is looking out living room window at the snow, pausing briefly on his way to the iPod.

Enter left, his Mother, listening attentively.

M: Is that "George in the Park"?
K: No, it's A Little Night Music.
M: Oh, the one about the barber.
K: Well, at least you're somewhere in the ballpark.

And scene.

From One Rose to Another...

Tony-winning Tyne Daly sings "Each Tomorrow Morning/And I Was Beautiful" from Dear World for Tony-winning Angela Lansbury, from the 1996 Angela Lansbury - A Tribute, a star-studded benefit presented by AmFar in association with BC/EFA. Enjoy:

An Amuse Bouche for Today

Does anyone not like The Muppets? No doubt most have seen these by now, but I couldn't help but share. First up: the Muppets "Bohemian Rhapsody"



For an encore - Beeker does "Ode to Joy."
