While my fingers remain (for the moment) unfrozen, and chilblains nibble at my toes, let us get to this coming Sunday's show! My favorites this week have to be a.) "You Should See Yourself," from Sweet Charity, a song I have only recently discovered. It seems even better knowing that this song was sung to Charlie, Charity's "boyfriend" JUST before he steals her wallet and pushes her into Central Park Lake. Annnnnnd b.) two selections from Little Shop of Horrors, because Ellen Greene just slays me, and I also love the 50s doo-wop sound that this show throws at ya.
I've recently discovered "The Secret Garden" which ran on Broadway in the early 1990s...and we'll hear "If I Had a Fine White Horse" this week. The show has a poppy sort of sound and a cast with excellent voices, so we'll be playing more of this goodie in the future!
I just finished reading "Fosse," the new biography by Sam Wasson, and now I want to see/listen to all the shows and movies that Bob Fosse ever did. An excellent read if you are a Broadway-phile.
