Playlist For Sunday, November 15, 2020: A Little Less Drama, S'il Vous Plait!

WOW. Whatta week. First, NO trick or treaters (well, more Kit Kats for ME!). Then The Four Seasons called (to say my mulch is ready). Gnawed off most of my nails on Tuesday. Grew them back on Saturday! An emotional, chocolate and pizza-fed roller coaster, accessorized by a new WHITE Kamala suit AND  Philly's Gritty on a lawn mower (new t-shirt) or is that a burning zamboni??? 

 

                                  See? Maya Rudolph already HAS her's!!!

 

I'm been knocked off my socks.  

And yet I live to Broadway another day! Honestly, at the very least, this show anchors me to some sort of scheduled (if overly choreographed) reality. If it's Tuesday, I must write a blog. In Belgium. That sorta thing. 

 

                         Me trying to keep up with election information.

 

So here's the "anchor" for this Sunday: Celebrating the anniversary of The Lion King, mega-money-maker HE. ANND same-o same-o for Oh, Kay! (rather different musicals, almost a century apart, and yet...both lived long and prospered). Celebrating the talented, if snide, Pearl Bailey, who just 53 years ago, opened in Hello, Dolly! along side Cab (that Moocher) Calloway. Plus a whole corner of "remember-ing" songs (just hope I don't forget to turn that corner!), plus War Paint, aka the make-up mogul story of Arden and Rubenstein, put to musique. Ahhh, what a convoluted web we weave, when we want to avoid that bowl of Kit Kats! 

Tune in for fun and frivolity (and hardly any drama at all, I promise!) on Sunday, where we will DO DO DO what we've DONE DONE DONE for almost 9 years of Sundays so far. Vive le Rue au Broadway! (Or something like that.)

P.S. Just finished The Queen's Gambit. SOOOO glad they didn't make it a musical, about CHESS. Oh...wait...
