Full Disclaimer: This is not The Mother's Day Edition. I am also not a doctor (of Broadway). These shows (and blogs) are meant for entertainment purposes only, and should you require more professional (and less quirky, definitely more proof-read) assistance, Google it yourself!
But I just forgot about it! I mean, I AM a mother, and yet it just sort of snuck (is that a word?) up on me, well AFTER I'd carved this playlist, of course. And once I etch a list in stone, well...it's IN STONE. I did serendipitously have 1 mother-esque selection already on the agenda, so a big WHEW! there. But that's it, the one token MOM. So apologies to all who were expecting a haul of Mammas.
(BTW, one of my gal friends posted a pic of her Mother's Day present: A Lawn Mower. If anyone in my tribe is thinking of getting me a similar gift/appliance, FIE on you. Tacky earrings, yes. Cheap perfume, yes. Slightly offensive bumper stickers, yes. But do not go down the path of vacuums, leaf blowers, or hand drills. Dear God.)
But this IS the Duet Edition. All that 2-ing and You and Me-ing of this past Sunday put me in mind to play another "set of doubles", and there are only 1 zillion Broadway duets to choose from. Lovey dovey duets, friendship duets, frenemy (now that IS a word!) duets, stuck with you duets, I'm better'n you duets, the gamut from A to at least M. That's the edition we conquer this Sunday.
A Frenemy example? Bea and Angela, Bosom Buddies in Mame
So go buy your mom some flowers. As Baby June sings in a rejected song from Gypsy (revived and smushed back in for the Patti revival), "Send A Dozen Gardenias To Your Mother"...and then warble her a heartfelt Broadway ballad. Even off key, your mom will surely tear up. And remember it. :) Well, bring along a bottle of Tanqueray just to be sure.
