First course:
The Book Of Mormon, Best Musical of 2011,
starring Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells
as Elders Cunningham and Price.
Spoiler alert: They don't get sent to Orlando.
Then an "amuse-bouches":
Above Alfred Drake and Hermoine Gingold in the
1973 staged production of Gigi,
and below Clint Eastwood, Jean Seaberg and Lee Marvin
in Paint Your Wagon.
Lerner and Loewe wrote French classy, western bushwah,
Ascot tea time, and King Arthur cute (those tights!)...
how's that for RANGE?
Either Rex is waaaaay early,
or way late for the running at Ascot.
We'll hear the sublime "I'm An Ordinary Man"
(yeah, right, Rex!)
and "Fie On Goodness" from Camelot below.
To be "fair", "Fie" was tabled from the Round Table agenda,
but...
...it looks like it's been added back in later productions.
(See below...a toughened up "Fie"!)
As part of our vegetarian main course,
we'll hear Larry Blyden (above with glasses)
from The Apple Tree.
A Bock and Harnick creation from 1966,
it also starred Alan Alda and Barbara Harris.
Above with a chocolate egg (what PR dude dreamt that up?)
and below in costume.
Side Dish: Tomato-ing and potato-ing above,
Matthew Broderick and Kellie O'Hara
in the "New" Musical Comedy,
Nice Work If You Can Get It,
a Brothers Gershwin re-hash.
Kelli could no way heft Matthew.
Where is truth in advertising?
"Let's Call The Whole Thing Off"
