Play For Sunday, Sept. 2, 2018: Broadway Knows! (Nose?)

Ahhhh, questions beset us!

Will the saloon hall gal (with the heart of gold) "convince" the governor to pardon her intended from a horrible fate? (See Desperate Measures)
Will the sheriff marry the nun?(See Desperate Measures...no, REALLY see it!)
Will the candy box? (See Barbara Cook)
Will the sugar spoon? (See Julie Andrews)
Will the honey comb? (See Lena!)
Am I really lovely? (See Nathan and Mark)

These are the questions that try our souls as summer wanes and fall waxes (or is that the other way 'round?), and Broadway (sometimes) has the answers (and a lot more questions).

In(inn?)keeping with those queries, Forum (Nathan's version), Murder For Two (I'm seeing this on Saturday, done by the Merry Go Round Players in Auburn, so...), Sutton with favorites (well, at least mine!), plus a big gulp of a "new" off-Broadway nugget called Desperate Measures (check your boots for snakes and dastardly governors) are on the menu. Plus candy. And sugar. And a couple of desserts, sweet enuf for me to jump the Broadway Bandwagon (The Boswells? The McGuires? The Mercer, the Stafford, the Pipers Pied? YES.) Let's hope they hang together, in a grand Waldorf salad of melody (ooh-la-la, metaphors be with you!)(BTW, I think we're all out of Waldorf). Tune in for LIVE liveliness on Sunday, and have your questions answered!
