Desperate Measures
provides a song for our STOP! theme
today on 2 On The Aisle...
"Stop There"
sung by Peter Saide (above on the left)
as the long-tall-drink-of-sarsaparilla Sheriff.
The show premiered in Texas (really?)
back in May of 2004
(really! That's a long trip to even OFF Broadway.)
It closed in October of this year.
Above, Peter, Emma Degerstedt, Ryan Conor, and Gary Marachek.
Music, David Friedman and Peter Kellogg.
In our "Hanukkah Corner"
is Falstettos,
a William Finn/James Lapine marriage of
2 of Mr. Finn's shows of the past.
The revival of 2016 starred Andrew Rannells (Mormon much?)
Christian Borle (Wonka! Rotten Shakespeare)
Anthony Rosenthal, and
Brandon Uranowitz (American in Paris, plus...).
Damian's Big Tap Number,
from Mean Girls..."Stop!"
Grey Henson leads the corp de tap here,
and below, a mall set and a HALF from the same show.
Note pink mean girls descending!
A ton of Tony noms this year,
but a total shut out
(although Tina Fey did win a Drama Desk for Outstanding Book).
Close up on Damian (Grey)
and Karen (Kate Rockwell).
Are there taps on those sneaks?
"Stop! Wait! What?"
Bryce Pinkham (as Monty Navarro) arrested for the
one death he DIDN'T cause?
A Gentleman's Guide To Love And Murder,
with Bryce above on the left (with saw, hatchet, gun and poison),
handing his tools of the trade over to his understudy,
Jeff Kready, who took over the role.
Below, Jefferson Hays...best victim(s) ever!
"Can't Stop Talking About Him!"
was introduced in Let's Dance
by Betty Hutton and Fred Astaire...
a song written by Frank Loesser.
The film did OK, but Betty's other movie of the year (1950)
overshadowed this one completely:
Annie Get Your Gun!
