You're right, tristan, I had my hook in my eye when I typed that, I meant Cathy Rigby. Also Mia Farrow, but I was thinking of Rigby.

Maybe I had my hook in Sandy Dennis' eye.

whew.

the idea of Ms. Dennis stammering and hemming and hawing through "Peter
Pan" was a little scary

Sandy Duncan was in it at one time.

Maybe we could do an all-Sandy version of Pan.

Pan = Sandy Duncan

Smee = Sandy Dennis

Hook = Gary Sandy (from WKRP, remember him?)

Wendy = Sandi Patti

Princess Tiger Lily = Sandie Caine (a porn star, or so I'm told)

Nana = Sandy the dog from Annie.

I just hope the porn star wouldn't be offended by being asked to work with someone associated with Annie.

"Sweeney Todd" score.

I think the H2$ revival score is fine (and I love the acronym!) -- their "Brotherhood" is particularly good -- but I will never forgive them for cutting Cinderella Darling.

I agree - I don't know why they cut it. Granted, it's a rather anachronistic
goal (to 'get ahead' by marrying your boss), but they kept the play in the
original period, so it would have worked just fine as a period attitude.

Maybe it was for time - not only are shows shorter now as a rule than they
used to be - but they extended the dances for both Brotherhood and Coffee
Break and Secretary, so they might have just done it for time.

But I think it was the anti-feminist angle of the song.

It's a shame - because the melody is interesting and the lyrics are some of
the best in the show.

I have finally realised who Harry Konnick Jr is! - caught him on a Foxtel replay of the BBC America ?Ground Force? show.  When he invited the team, after doing a garden for someone, to take part on his float in New Orleans for the Mardi Gras.
So he is that bloke, that plonks on the Joanna & sings & can possibly whistle as well?
he is certainly multi talented?

I didn't know that he was involved on "Ground Force" - but he's quite well-
known. He's been a big-band style crooner for quite some time - and, of
course, on "Will and Grace" he was Grace's boyfriend-and-then-husband for
several seasons. He also played Lt.Cable in the Glenn Close tv production of
"South Pacific."

He wasn?t actually involved as such, only for a 5 minute grab at the end. When he invited Charlie, Tommy, Kirsty & Willy. To dress up & ride on his float for the parade, during the credits!
I can possibly see why Slickster might swoon!
I now remember seeing Harry a couple of times on the tube, but Charlie is more my cuppa tea!
Even though she is now wears a bra for the BBC America series?
