In concert, Donna McKechnie and the two other gals (Pamela Myers and Susan Browning), who were in the original Company, get together for the first time since 1970 and do it all again!

When you listen to a variety of songs, it's amazing how many times you can sing, "Bobby is my hobby and I'm giving it up," and it fits. Try it.

This special was originally called "Showstoppers: The Best of Broadway" and premiered on the pay cable Entertainment Channel in 1982. For home video release it was retitled "That's Singing: The Best of Broadway."

Newsflash. Us gay men can grasp the concept of 'context' and we know that the language we use changes meaning, and that the words we incorporate in our art are likely to alter in connotation. We do not expect or want everything sanitized so the dumbest of us won't get their feelings hurt. We have even figured out that Christmas carols written in the 19th century do not normally discuss homosexuality. Can we move on and discuss the music and performance now?

From an era when Broadway musicals had an orchestra not a few people who play multiple instruments let alone when it’s only a tape.
@slapstickgags Жыл бұрын
Wrote that like it's an inherently bad thing. Ain't it impressive when folks can play multiple instruments? And not all musicals need a huge orchestra.
@emalaw1329 Жыл бұрын
It also feels you're trying to imply most modern musicals don't have a fully furnished pit and are forced to rely on actors to play instruments...if you gave a chance to shows like Hamilton, Hadestown and Come From Away, you'd hear that the pit is alive and well in contemporary Broadway, and that even without a fully fledged, traditionally codified orchestra, they can produce spectacular ambience and flair

The people freaking out about them saying fag need to realize that Sondheim is gay too, so it’s obviously not meant to be offensive. This was a different time when people weren’t so sensitive.

In his book, Sondheim said that he regretted writing that line in the song, and that even at the time it was an outdated term.

Ed Miller black people use that term because we are allowed too, we changed the ending of that word to an a and use it as endearing term to only black people, when a term that is used to degrade you in an offensive manner, the only people who gain authority over it would be the people it’s used against, not every black person likes it but we are only ok with it being said as long as it’s by a black person, it can’t even truly offend you
