Button Up Your Overcoat...well, I HAD to fit that song in sometime this winter, right? It's part of the 1993 revival of Good News, a 1927 musical that inspired two movies. First sung by Helen Kane (that Boop Boop a Doop Girl), and here performed by Ann Morrison and Wayne Bryan. And You're the Cream in My Coffee...an oldie but goodie, that mentions my favorite beverage A LOT.
Super favorites in this week's playlist: Show People, which has wonderful Debra Monk and David Hyde Pierce kvetching at a cast which would rather take the train back to NY than have the show GO ON!...and anything from City of Angels, with that jazzy Cy Coleman music and pithy David Zippel lyrics.
And hope you enjoy that Liza with a Z opener...Bye Bye Blackbird! You can certainly hear the Bob Fosse (director AND choreographer of that show) influence in the arrangement ...AND finger snaps!
See ya Sunday!
