BREAK A LEG TO THE CAST OF "YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN" AND A JOHN KENNEDY MEMORY DAY

HEADLINE OF HISTORIC NEW YORK TIMES GIVING DETAILS OF JOHN KENNEDY SPEECH IN BERLIN


Congrats and "Break A Leg" to the new announced cast of the latest Mel Brooks Broadway musical efforts.I always celebrate the openings of new shows because I want that one day to be ME and Tim Doran right at my side! Of course, the show I celebrate today is "Young Frankenstein" and it is set to enchant us this fall.Casting is complete
The production stars Roger Bart (Dr. Frederick Frankenstein), Megan Mullally (Elizabeth), Sutton Foster (Inga), Shuler Hensley (The Monster), Andrea Martin (Frau Blucher), Fred Applegate (Kemp) and Christopher Fitzgerald (Igor), with an ensemble to include Heather Ayers, Jim Borstelmann, Paul Castree, Jen Lee Crowl, Jack Doyle, James Gray, Amy Heggins, Eric Jackson, Kristin Marie Johnson, Renee Feder, Matthew LaBanca, Kevin Ligon, Barrett Martin, Linda Mugleston, Christina Marie Norrup, Justin Patterson, Brian Shepard, Sarrah Strimel, Craig Waletzko and Courtney Young. The musical based on Brooks' Academy Award-nominated film comedy has book by Brooks and Thomas Meehan, music and lyrics by Brooks, direction and choreography by Susan Stroman. Glen Kelly, that musical genius who helped make Brooks' words and music in The Producers soar to Tony-winning effect is at the musical helms once gain. God love you, Mel Brooks! You deserve this to be a smash just as much as "The Producers" was. The show is opening at Broadway's Hilton Theatre Nov. 8 following previews that start Oct. 11.

Today is also the anniversary of John Kennedy's famous speech in Berlin on this date back in 1963, just three days shy of five months before his tragic assassination in Dallas. "Est Im A Berliner!" ("I AM A BERLINER) The whole world loved John Kennedy! How different might history be had he lived! Today I go in for an MRI and try to discover a few answers to a recent lack of concentration in the last few months. Knowledge is power they say. So I am about to find some answers. Happy anniversary to classic film star Eleanor Parker (the Baroness in the Sound of Music) who turns eighty-five years young today!
