Random Star "Parts"!

Jack Cassidy and Carol Burnett in Fade Out - Fade In (1964)

Created "musically" by Jule Styne, Betty Comden and Adolph Green.

"My Fortune Is My Face"




Heidi Blickenstaff as Bea in Something Rotten!

The work of Karey and Wayne Kirkpatrick, back in 2015.

"Right Hand Man"

Fanny Brice sang "Second Hand Rose" in

Ziegfeld Follies of 1921...

that's SHE above with Eugene Howard!


 

"Take It On The Chin" was part of Me And My Girl,

first produced in    with music by Noel Gay, Douglas Furber, and L. Arthur Rose.

We'll hear from the new and improved version of 1985, masterminded by

Stephen Fry and Mike Okrent.

That's Robert Lindsay and Emma Thompson (above) who starred in the London production. 


Yup, that's the movie version of Grease,

which starred Olivia Newton John and that Travolta dude.

But this Sunday's "Hand Jive" will come direct from the original 1972

Broadway production.

Music: Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey


We'll trade Rex Harrison's version of "I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face"

for Harry Hadden-Paton's take, performed in the 2018 revival of 

My Fair Lady, the creation of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe.

And (above, right) the face he's grown accustomed to,

that of Lauren Ambrose, who played Eliza.

 

From The Most Happy Fella,

we'll touch base with FEET!

Jo Sullivan and Susan Johnson (above) played waitresses,

Rosabella and Cleo,

but only Susan complained: "Ooh, My Feet!"

That's Susan below, at the cast recording of this 

Frank Loesser almost opera from 1956. :)




"The Physician" takes the cake for the number of 

body parts listed, labeled, and dissected!

It's from Star!, the movie musical "take" on Gertrude Lawrence's life.

Julie Andrews "starred" and got to wear over 125 costumes in this

super-lavish flick.

And Cole Porter HAD to have written these lyrics!
