You. Me. And Roger.

 Gotta love the look!

Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria, 1982.

This movie was in the planning stages as early as 1978,

when Director Blake Edwards hoped to pair Julie

with Peter Sellers.

Sellers passed away in 1980, however,

and Robert Preston was cast.

(Below with Dame Julie!)

 "You And Me"

 What a table of talent!
From left, Robert, Julie, James Garner, and Alex Karras. 

The score, by Henry Mancini and Leslie Bricusse,

was awarded an Academy Award.

Lots of other nominations for all, 

but that was the only Oscar taken home. 

 We'll hear 2 songs from the ill-fated

Two By Two,

a musical that Richard Rodgers (above with star Danny Kaye)

wrote with Martin Sharnin.

This must have been one of the few friendly meetings they had...

from the outset, Danny chose to "improve" 

his dialogue with ad-libs,

and change the tempos of songs.

 Danny was 59 years old when the production opened.

At one point in the run, he injured a foot and had to perform

in a wheelchair, and later on crutches.

Above, Danny with Joan Copeland.

 Checking the forecast,

the old-fashioned way.

Yup, 39 more days!

 A couple of notables I see in this arc-esque line up:

Walter Willison, 2nd from left, who received a Tony nomination,

Madeline Kahn next to him,

in the center, Joan Copeland and Harry Goz...and Danny, 2nd from the right.

I don't know if they got a Costume nomination,

but I sorta think NO!

We'll hear "You" and "I Do Not Know A Day I Did Not Love You."

 We'll hear Jordan Donica who played

Freddy Eynsford-Hill

in the 2018 revival of My Fair Lady,

with "On The Street Where You Live."

Prior to this production,

Jordan has done stints in Hamilton, Phantom Of The Opera,

and lots of TV...

meanwhile he is writing his own musical,

"Bully."

 And while we're at it, a gang of the revival dudes,

from the right, Harry Hadden-Paton who played Professor Higgins, 

Norbert Leo Butz (Alfred P. Doolittle), 

Allan Corduner as Colonel Pickering, 

Jordan (our Freddy), 

and in the back, musical director Ted Sperling.

Despite several Tony nominations,

this revival received only one award,

for Best Costumes. 

Sailors And Their Dates:

Above...Broadway's On The Town,

with the song "Ya Got Me",

the creation of Lenny B, Betty C, and Adolph G.

Below...Hollywood's take on that gathering,

with Roger Eden taking over the musical reins

and creating "(You Can) Count On Me."

Why the first song had to be replaced,

only Roger can tell us!

He evidently didn't care for Bernstein & Co.'s score

and went about replacing much of it.

Thankfully, both casts were incredible,

and frankly I'd listen to almost anything either 

would care to warble!
