Marry Me On Broadway...or not!

 Betsy's Getting Married!
From Honeymoon in Vegas, 
the work of Jason Robert Brown,
which launched on Broadway in 2015
and starred Tony Danza, Brynn O'Malley, Rob McClure,
and several Elvissssss!

 Jack Buchanan's up twice this Sunday...
but he's not walking down an aisle.
Just grabbing "A Cup Of Coffee, A Sandwich, and You"
(a duet with Gertrude Lawrence, below on the right)
and "Everything Stops For Tea".
(That's Beatrice Lillie on the left, who's maybe holding out for coffee!)


 Jo Sullivan as "Rosabella" in
The Most Happy Fella
(who was soon to become Frank Loesser's Wife #2).
Below, partner in crime Susan Johnson who played Cleo,
fellow waitress,
with Goddard Lieberson at a recording session.


 The 2 Barbaras of She Loves Me...
Cook and Baxley,
and below Barbara C., Hal Prince, Barbara B. and Daniel Massey.
"I Don't Know His Name"
but hey, he's the guy on the right, already!
Ask him!


 Josie de Guzman and Faith Prince
recording "Marry The Man Today"
in the 1992 revival of Guys And Dolls,
and in a celebratory hug (below)
 with Peter Gallagher and Nathan Lane. 
There exists out there in the "ether" a
documentary made of this recording session
(sort of like the infamous Company one),
which you can see clips of on YouTube...
It's called Guys and Dolls: Off The Record.
Definitely worth a WATCH!

 The real I Do! I Do!
with Robert Preston and Mary Martin...
and Al Hirschfeld's take on that long-time wedded couple.
We'll hear Robert with "I Love My Wife".


And then there's always the 
"I Do, I Do In the Sky"
version, from The Drowsy Chaperone,
with Trix, The Aviatrix flying the plane (and leading the number)...
that's Kecia Lewis-Johnson, front and center above.
And below, Troy Britton Johnson and Sutton Foster plighting their troths
(sounds a little painful, doesn't it?)
in the same show.
Best Book and Best Score Tony Awards back in 2006.
