Playlist For Sunday, February 24, 2019: Another February

I need something NEW. The wasteland that is February in upstate NY has got me down. I won't go into my myriad complaints about this month (always my least favorite), but suffice it to say that I shouldda planned a Bora Bora cruise or penny whistle workshops or picked up that bag-pipe cozy knitting pattern...some BIG THING to get me thru it. But no, unplanful me. I just rinse and repeat.

So I looked for a NEW musical...and I found one: Triumph Of Love, performed back in the 90s. Based on a commedia dell'arte play (from 1732 to be exact), made into something like 8 films (some German, some silent, some with Mira Sorvino), so it's sorta OLD, and BORROWED. Just not too blue. Cuz I don't need blue right now!!! So there's that. Plus The Rink, which I ordered thinking it was the Chita/Liza production, but nope, it's the London production with 2 ladies I don't know. Well, we're going to meet them on Sunday! Whatever!

Yma Sumac? Yes, and she DID do Broadway (Flahooley). Jason Alexander? Yes, quite the Broadway star...won a Tony for Jerome Robbins' Broadway. Brad Oscar as Bert Lahr? Kevin Chamberlain (Uncle Fester) as a Henchman? And a little Michael McKean (Lenny of Lenny & Squiggy, Spinal Tap, Best In Show, and on and on) getting jealous in pajamas, and Christine Ebersole, who really knows how I feel, wintering "Another Winter" in Grey (grey!!!) Gardens.

 Join me. Let's get outta this month in one piece, and together. :)
