New Faces of 1952 was a review that introduced Paul Lynde, Alice Ghostley, Mel Brooks and Marvin Hamlisch to the world...and featured Eartha Kitt singing an incredible song, written specifically FOR her and ABOUT her. She envisioned six on-stage chaise lounges, and herself crawling cat-like from one to the other, while singing it. She had to settle for 3, but hey...the visual on that is pretty wild...the song: Monotonous, written by June Carroll and Arthur Siegel. And that voice!
A wow opening: Springtime for Hitler, from The Producers...and a great closer (hope we have time for it!): Why? Cuz I'm a Guy, from I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change. Hope you can join me...this Sunday at 3pm!
