Playlist For Sunday, May 26, 2024: Bibbidees!

Random thoughts: 

1.) George Clooney is coming to Broadway. Sutton's coming BACK to Broadway. Plus 1,700 shows have opened in the last 2 months, just in time to be celebrated (or ignored) by the Tonys. My head is spinning with all the Broadway that I haven't seen or heard. UGH. I can't keep up. I'll definitely watch the Tony ceremonies, but it'll all be NEW to me. 

 

Can you imagine the swarm for tickets?

And the swarm at the stage door?

Ms. Foster will be taking on the mantle

   (and the moat's seaweed)

of Princess Fred, come Spring '25.

2.) It's NOT too darn hot. It's waaaaay too early to start complaining about the heat and the bugs and the weeds. It's embarrassing! After all those months spent complaining about cold? Can't do it. (But it IS rather warm. Like really. I really hate it. Geez.)

3.) I quit the band. Some of you may remember my blithely joining up with the community band out here. Somebody threw me an alto sax and said "You can do it!" and I believed them? I never caught the practice bug, never taught my embouchure to behave, and just basically sucked. So a Quitter am I! UGH. Easier to talk music than make it. (I did learn the Poirot theme song, however. That's something.)

 

4.) All those heroes and villains from last Sunday's 2 On The Aisle has metamorphosed into a Fairy Tale Theme! A Once Upon a Time/Happily Ever After collection, including Shrek, Cinderella, Into The Woods, Mattress...I'll try not to play too many saccharine love songs and Bibbidee Bobbidees, but some WILL appear. Apologies if your teeth start to ache (or your nose starts to grow). What price Broadway, huh?

 

And hey, send me a request or 7! Or toss me theme! I get desperate sometimes, out here sweating in the heat, without a sax, missing the Clooney, and trying to create more wacky 2 On The Aisles for y'all. See ya Sunday. :)
