Playlist For Sunday, March 25, 2018: FOSSE Rewind

This blog is waaaaay late due to:
a.) a visit to the REAL Broadway, not just the one you cue up, and
b.) a visit that was extended an additional day due to Winter Storm Toby. Which sounds like a stuffed bear wearing white fluffy earmuffs and a cute pair of snow shoes. It doesn't inspire fear. And neither did the "storm"...6 inches in NYC equals 6 feet in upstate NY. It's sorta like a metric conversion, without decimals or frostbite, but with plenty of canceled flights and empty seats at Hamilton! (Which I saw. Which was insanely wonderful. Quote of the night from the "old"-er lady in the seat behind me to another, "Do you know what's actually going on?")

But I'm back to reality in The Roc now, and it's Fosse Time. I had a request to do a repeat of an earlier Fosse-themed show, and I didn't really need my arm twisted. And it IS pledge drive time, and these shows ARE pretty classic, so it was a nifty match. With the appropriately included "Big Spender" leading the parade.

It's late, and I have laundry and bills and other reality-based stuff to catch up on. Later for trivia on the FOSS! And the Verd, and the ssssSnakes in the Grass. :)
