Playlist For July 28, 2019: Theme Ahoy!

The following playlist is brought to you by M&Ms, ColorForms (TM), Rainbows, Lollipops and Roses. But no unicorns. Yet. Is there a musical with unicorns? I desperately hope not. But along with Colors, I have the Audacity (TM) to include 17 more themes to this coming Sunday's agenda, so I'd like to call this the Theme Ahoy Edition of 2 on the Aisle. I sit here simply AGOG, a word I hold with great respect and do not use lightly, with my ability to go all Musical Theatre of the Ridiculous on ya!

Theme One: Lovely, as in DE-Lovely, as in Lovely Days and Lovely Nights, and aren't I Lovely, and isn't it Lovely, and man isn't this a Lovely day to get outta jail?

Theme Two: A Crayola Deluxe box o' 64! Green, Pink, Brown, Blue! (I did use some restraint here, because as you might guess, Blue wins big in musicals. It's a color, it's an emotion, like a dessert topping that dovetails as a floor wax, it's 2 things in 1!).

 vs

Theme 17: Feelings. Nothing more than Feelings. NO, not that song and not those feelings...Broadway Feelings. And somehow they're less saccharine, at least the ones I'm pulling. Nell Carter, Angela Lansbury, Kristen, Idina, Vera-Ellen, Gwen.

Theme 345: Rainbows, cuz when colors get together...Silly, right? But no unicorns. Absolutely none.

And that's it. Can you stand all this Broadway nuttiness? As I've said before, Broadway isn't for wimps. Oh yea, it might sound all light and fluffy SOMETIMES, but beneath that (Essie) Whimple and that "Long Black Dress" lies a world of Tough. Together we stand, in the face of ANY theme.
