I wish I had an extra $2500 lying around. I'd love to win this.

I read the link yesterday and noted that it has to do with Richard's planned performance in February on Broadway.... I think it was "You Can't Take it with You".... and he provides a disclaimer about the actual date and time.... I think that's the show Nedandres told us about, which is changing the cast every six weeks or so.... great stars each time.... And, I wonder if it will be successful enough to last.... Presumably, if it never gets to Richard's performance, something else he is doing will be offered.
Phooey -- I shouldn't have undertaken this posting until I read the thing again !! .... but, it probably does apply to whatever Richard is doing, which is often quite fluid -- He usually has his hands in many pots.

I have always wanted to see Richard perform in the theater but I cannot afford $2,500! Nor do I wish to travel in the Winter to NYC. Bummer....

Drive over to Albany, jump on Amtrak, and you're there !! -- very easy to get around NYC in the winter -- ya just can't beat the subway system, and it's not as crowded in winter months, once the holidays are over. |

Hi all, "You Can't Take it With You" is the Broadway show revival with James Earl Jones starring. The one with the rotating cast is "Love Letters," currently with Mr. Alan Alda and Miss Candice Bergen, whose father was Grandpa in "The Homecoming."
I wasn't aware that Richard was appearing in the show until reading it here today.

Now, I'll go back and read up on both "Love Letters" and "You Can't Take it with You."  What is it exactly that I'm thinking of, remembering ??!! ... probably something about an entirely different show !!

Oh, to be able to take a day trip to see a Broadway show! My sister lives in Maryland and has done that a couple of times. She takes a train to NYC which lets out pretty close to the theaters. After the show she gets the train back to Maryland.

A good point, Elizabeth -- whether coming in by bus or train, you land at Penn Station, the Port Authority, or Grand Central -- all within fairly easy walking distance from Times Square and the theatre district !!

Hello, y'all, Am doing food prep for stuffed mushrooms. Have sweet potatoes baking. Will shortly cook the mirlitons (chayote squash) which will later be stuffed with a crab filling.
While chopping up veggies (first time using shallots - made me cry as soon as I cut into it!) I was watching the parade coverage on TV. There was a performer from the play "Pippin" doing a number. Impressed at her coordination - how she could sing and use the hula-hoop at the same time!. And at the end of the number, she held up the hoop and a guy did a flip through it!
Has anyone seen that play? If it's as good as that segment I got to get to NYC somehow to see it.
Cheers,
Elizabeth "Auntie Em" |

I worked on the very first production in the 70's.... And at the 2013 Tony Awards, when the revival was up for "Best Revival" (and won 4 of its 10 nominations!), friends had a "Pippin Party" at their Manhattan apartment for old-timers like me to watch the Awards together on tv -- ended up staying with them for a week and doing everything I wanted to do in the city !! -- the best time ever, and my "farewell" to Manhattan, I guess. (I bored everyone with an extremely long thread on here somewhere....)
I've been thinking about your sister in MD, and remembering that some matinees on Wednesday usually have some last-minute two-fer's available -- another thing that makes it easier and worthwhile to make a day trip !!

My High School junior class took a Thanksgiving trip to the NE U.S. in 1974. The last several days were in NYC, which was fascinating. However it was also frustrating. We were supposed to go to the Met for an opera but there was a strike there. Tried to see "Pippin" was unable to get tickets. Remembered that another big play that year was "That Championship Season." Well, we ended up seeing "The Fantasticks," okay but not quite what I was hoping for.
My Maryland sister has been under a lot of stress. Wish I could convince her to go with me up to NYC for a play. If not "Pippin" then possibly something that our boy Richard was in?
