See Ya At The Prom!

 Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann

wrote "He's Sure The Boy I Love" in 1962

and the Crystals ran with it...

but wait!

It was first recorded by The Blossoms,

featuring Darlene Love,

but Phil Spector pulled a fast one and credited it to the Crystals.

Clockwise from the top:

Fanita James, Jean King, and Darlene Love...

The Blossoms

of "He's A Rebel" fame.

 The Brill Building songwriters,

Cynthia, Barry, Carol King and Gerry Goffin,

and their compositions

were brought to Broadway "life" 

in Beautiful: The Carol King Musical.

Jessie Mueller starred as Carol,

and we'll hear that show's version of 

"He's Sure The Boy I Love" with Jessie.

Jake Epstein played Goffin,

Anika Larson was Cynthia,

and Jarrod Spector as Barry.

 Darlene Love (back to sing that Blossom song)

 and Bette Midler doing

another take on Bette's 2015 release,

It's The Girls!

 "Alone At A Drive-in Movie",

from Grease...with the original Broadway stars above,

Carole Demas and Barry Bostwick.

They chucked the song from the movie version,

below with Olivia Newton-John and 

John Travolta 

in favor of "Sandy." 

Grease started out raunchy (back in Chicago in 1971)

and has progressed all the way to a sanitized "Jr." version.

 The Prom is getting some decent write-ups currently...

above the "world premiere" pre-Broadway version done in Atlanta,

and below a pic of Isabelle McCalla and 

Caitlin Kinnunen, appearing NOW at the Longacre Theatre.

 Love this shot with Brooks Ashmanskas 

wearing a tiara!

 Zombie Prom, above...the movie version!

Zombie Prom, below...the staged version,

which has remained popular with community theatre groups,

like the Mississippi Bend Players.

It began "life" in 1993 in Key West,

lurching its way Off-Broadway three years later.

Dana P. Rowe and John Dempsey were the musical perpetrators.  

The short film (36 minutes) was produced in 2006

and starred RuPaul as Principal Delilah Strict.

Enrico Fermi High School, natch!
