I can sing this thing effortlessly. It's been in my head since it first aired. If I'm ever defrosted 1000 years from now and they ask for details about our culture, this may be the first thing I talk about.

Well, L@@K at you... doing a a time step and shuffle!! Wasn't this around the time when you and I were cast as singers on that swank cruise line? ...which you ended up doing. 💕
@yackorama6 ай бұрын
No, this was later. I was cast on Crystal in late 1999. This show above was 2003. I had finished my contracts with the ship by then. As for the time step and shuffle, this was my very first time in tap shoes, ever! 😁

Everyone is talking about Jodi's performance, as they should, but I also love the production as well. I'm a sucker for props and sets that move on their own for scene transitions (even though that was obviously a stage hand getting rid of the chair still seen from behind the curtain at this camera angle) and the chess board lights going out in segments via the musical stings near the end of the song are a nice touch.

Veanne is an underrated actress and comedian. This role, along with playing C'inderella's step-sister, and playing Margie to Danny Burnstein in "Follies" are all supporting roles where she broke through and made them more than that. Mr. Yacko, you nail this role along with the other roles you get in a long, impressive career.
@yackorama Жыл бұрын
Bless you and thank you! Veanne was brilliant as Amy. She helped me understand the Paul & Amy relationship by being her wonderfully kooky self while being absolutely irresistibly lovable. I agree - she is indeed highly underrated. Many thanks for your kind comments about me. I have been blessed over the years and still love what I get to do.

It was four days of fun and roller skating and some Improv. Chris is one of the nicest guys and at one point he asked me "What's that word they use in Cats all the time?" I said "You mean, Jellicle?" "Yeah, thanks" he said. Then on the next take with a day player, he said to her, "Don't be sad ,poor old Jellicle Hippo...". It was allI could do not to laugh. And watching Bob Elliott deliver a line like "Shoot me, Gladys, I'll give you a million bucks, just shoot me" was priceless.
