Well, friends, its "curtains" for another Broadway show. "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" closes on September 3rd after 777 performances. The investors only barely got back their investments on this one! While I enjoyed the movie and I thought the story was interesting, I just never loved the score at all. To me, a musical has to have songs that you can "carry home" and enjoy long after. After listening to five or six songs from this piece I am afraid, I just turned it off. Tonight also marks the departure of Mary Stahl, the original Wardrobe mistress from "The Phantom Of The Opera". Mary was with Phantom when it opened in 1988. That leaves only one original cast member left and that is George Lee Andrews who currently plays the part of Andre.There's a big party tonight for her at the Majestic Theatre before the show. She wants to retire to a little farm that she bought with her savings.Today also would have been the birthday of a great baseball star: the amazing Roberto Clemente who lost his life in a plane crash trying to help the victims of Managua from an earthquake that happened during Christmas 1971. The supplies that had been sent before were getting into the wrong hands of profiteers and not getting to the victims themselves. Roberto was an amazing hitter for the Pittsburg Pirates. Also a Happy Birthday to Robert Redford who turns 69 years old today! Bye for now!
