Tumblers! Grumblers! Fumblers! Bumblers!

Saying that morenasangre rocks is kinda like saying the sky is blue (or, given the current Atlanta weather, gray). But it needs to be said today, as UPS just dropped off the Original Cast Recordings of the 1996 revival of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (which is my favorite Sondheim musical, followed closely by his output from 1981-90) and Wicked, the adaption of the Gregory McGuire novel. I'm not surprised to discover that the latter is one of morenasangre's favorites, since it's by Stephen Schwartz (although I'm surprised I didn't realize he was involved with this -- shows how out of the B'way loop I've been). I'm listening to the latter right now, and it's a delight.

YAY! I'm so glad that they arrived...you needed 'em both. Hope you enjoy Wicked. I love it, and "Popular" cracks me up every time. I know people like that.

It's a great song!

And I just realized that Galinda was Marion in the ABC Music Man!

I don't know if you were aware or not, but the Atlanta Shaku{doare Tavern is doing Forum May 15 through June 27. In case you wanted to see it live.

Cool! I hadn't realized that (I haven't been on their mailing list in ages -- bad date experiences associated with the place).

Wicked is great. I saw it the other week, and it's truly amazing. "What is this feeling?" is one of my favorites, along with "Popular" and "Defying Gravity." If you ever get a chance to see it, do it. You won't regret it.

Yet another reason to get back to NYC and catch another show I missed. I adore all three of those songs. Defying Gravity is just beautiful.

I just watched the DVD of the Zero Mostel movie.
