My FAVORITE FAVORITE Movie off all time is My Fair Lady

A little secret..whenever this song come on..I actually get up and jump on the couch..bed..whereever I am..I LOVE this song..

Eliza Bed! Bed! I couldn't go to bed!
My head's too light to try to set it down! Sleep! Sleep!
I couldn't sleep tonight.
Not for all the jewels in the crown!
I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting;
Why all at once My heart took flight. I only know when he
Began to dance with me I could have danced,
danced, danced all night!
Servant 1 It's after three now.
Servant 2 Don't you agree now,
She ought to be in bed.
Eliza I could have danced all night!
I could have danced all night!
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight.
I only know when he
Began to dance with me.
I could have danced, danced danced all night!
Mrs. Pearce I understand, dear.
It's all been grand, dear.
But now it's time to sleep.
Eliza I could have danced all night,
I could have danced all night.
And still have begged for more.
I could have spread my wings,
And done a thousand things I've never done before.
I'll never know What made it so exciting.
Why all at once my heart took flight. I only know when he
Began to dance with me I could have danced, danced,
danced All night!


THEN..there is The Kind and I

Yul Brennar (sp?) was so incredibly sexy in this movie..

I would love to dance with a man..and have that sexual "feeling" that they portrayed at the moment when The King slipped his arm around Anna at the beginning of this song (ah romance)

We've just been introduced,
I do not know you well,
But when the music started
Something drew me to your side.

So many men and girls,
Are in each others arms.
It made me think we might be
Similarly occupied.

Shall we dance?
On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?
Shall we dance?
Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"?
Or perchance,
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we still be together
With are arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen,
Shall we dance?
Shall we dance?
Shall we Dance?

[Dialogue]

Shall we dance?

[KING]

One, two, three and?

[ANNA]

On a bright cloud of music shall we fly?

[KING]

One, two, three and?

[ANNA]

Shall we dance?

[KING]

One, two, three and?

[ANNA]

Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"?

[KING]

One, two, three and?

[ANNA]

Or perchance,
When the last little star has left the sky,
Shall we still be together
With are arms around each other
And shall you be my new romance?
On the clear understanding
That this kind of thing can happen,

[BOTH]

Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we Dance?



They just don't make movies like this anymore..

I think I need to go to blockbuster tomorrow

I just read up in this thread (had not read it before)

Seamonkey, Lkunkel, Pcakes and I did see Mamma Mia (I thought this thread was more movies than productions) BUT I do want to say, of all the plays that I have seen, Mamma Mia was one of the BEST!!

here is for you Seamonkey!

I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
’cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I’ve been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me


I listen to the CD all the time, and I remember..

I’ve been cheated by you since I don’t know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don’t know how but I suddenly lose control
There’s a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.

I’ve been angry and sad about the things that you do
I can’t count all the times that I’ve told you we’re through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won’t be away too long
You know that I’m not that strong.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never
Mamma mia, it’s a game we play
Bye bye doesn’t mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go


I loved that day, I love that time, and I most definately LOVE my pink boa! (and Sea was sooo cute in her "purple" one )

Zachsmom, It's so nice that you mentioned "My Fair Lady". We love that musical and we've watched it over and over again. Now my little girls really like it and so we're watching it all over again with them.

Musicals are such great entertainment.

Zmom, you were all very cute with your boas and having way too much fun.
I haven't been to shows in a long time, though I used to go every chance I got when I was much younger. Saw Evita in London and San Francisco. Saw Grease in LA and Annie and A Chorus Line in LA, too. Got to be in a lot of local things that were fun, but fav will probably always be RHPS.

OK, Broadway update from my corner of the world. We are getting the road show of Forbidden Broadway, Smokey Joe's Cafe and Grease this semester. Oh, and Rent, too...maybe another one, too. I haven't seen any of them, however I played in the pit for Grease.

SPAM-A-LOT is going to preview in Chicago in December and January. I'm thinking I'll try that middle of the night Amtrak train to see it there. My organ grad (and theater buff) says that lots of his theater buddies are actually relocating to Chicago to work, cause it's easier than NYC, and they will be going to Spam-a-lot.

There are some other things coming to St. Louis, but it seems as if we get the St. Louis tour either before or after....and for a GREATLY reduced rate.

Another great show was "Eubie"...I saw it in DC years ago with Nell Carter in the lead. Great show!

Good question....I'll have to say West Side Story, Gypsy and The Unsinkable Molly Brown.

I saw The Boy From Oz this past Sunday, and Hugh Jackman was AWESOME in it....he definitely deserved the Tony Award!!

I love Andrew Lloyd Weber... My fav song from that is :

Wishing you were
somehow here again . . .
wishing you were
somehow near . . .
Sometimes it seemed
if I just dreamed,
somehow you would
be here . . .

Wishing I could
hear your voice again . . .
knowing that I
never would . . .
Dreaming of you
won't help me to do
all that you dreamed
I could . . .

Passing bells
and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental,
seem, for you,
the wrong companions -
you were warm and gentle . . .

Too many years
fighting back tears . . .
Why can't the past
just die . . .?

Wishing you were
somehow here again . . .
knowing we must
say goodbye . . .
Try to forgive . . .
teach me to live . . .
give me the strength
to try . . .

No more memories,
no more silent tears . . .
No more gazing across
the wasted years . . .
Help me say
goodbye.


I also had the opportunity to see Tommy and it was a signed performance - it was fun, we got to take the boys, I knew to take them out at a certain point tho!!

I still think the Fantastiks is my fave and anyone with kids can relate to it so well.

Plant a radish,
Get a radish,
Not a brussel spout.
That's why I love vegetables
You know what they're about....

Also the one about

Why did the kids put jam on the cat
Why would the kids do something like that
(something something something...)
They did it, 'cause we said "No".....

Why do the kids but beans in their ears.
No one can hear with beans in their ears
After a while the reason appears
They did it, 'cause we said "No".....

Without a doubt Les Miserables is my all time favorite broadway musical. All I have to do is hear 'Master of the House' and the tune gets in my head for the rest of the day.

My fav movie musical is O Brother, Where Art Thou?.

Oh gee...thanks Sas...I'm not singing about radishes anymore. Now I have "Master of the House" echoing through my mind.

Just saw Les Mis on Wednesday night for the first time. Yes, it was great, but I didn't find it as moving as I had anticipated. I think Miss Saigon still tops my list of "Favourite Musical".

I don't know whether anyone caught it, but PBS did an excellent five-part series, Broadway: The American Musical musical hosted by Julie Andrews. They aired it during the pledge drive and I'm sure you will be able to catch it again. It had some great footage from the golden age of Broadway up to more recent stuff. It was amazing to see the original Porgy and Bess footage, old Fosse stuff, and early Sondheim numbers.

Here's the website: link.

After five viewings, it's still "Phantom of the Opera." I also still love the music from "Finian's Rainbow," and "Paint Your Wagon"
(stage production. Movie production? Ughhhh!)

Oh, Poop! I forgot "Camelot."
