@flrdli5 жыл бұрын
It is so great to know that, at age 89, John is still going strong. I was on the front row of this show back in 1966 and, afterwards, went backstage to meet him. This Southern boy spent a good long time talking with this Southern girl, which was a memorable experience for me (and from subsequent conversation with his wife, Emily, he still remembers me). He certainly deserved his first Tony for this performance. And, being a FB friend of him and Emily, I was happy to learn that an off-Broadway theater was named for him several years ago. He deserves every accolade he gets!!!

Ms. Harris was unique, and I am so thankful that I saw her live on several occasions. The last time in NYC was the failed off-Broadway production of MAHAGONNY (think there may be an audio on YT of her singing "Moon of Alabama"), and I flew to Chicago to see PRELUDE TO A KISS at the Goodman in 1991, just to see her one more time as the ditzy but loving mother (and to prove that there are no such things as small parts). She was painfully shy and struggled with emotional problems for many years, but we are lucky that we had her works to cherish for as long as we did. May her memory be for a blessing.

She had serious issues with the genre that she shone in. Musicals. She didn't like them and she hated having to give the same performance every night. And not everyone appreciated her eccentric performances. But she made life difficult for herself. John Cullum and her seem to be coming from different planets. Totally different approaches to the music. The songs are delicious but it looks like a very bad TV special here. She always reminded me of Tammy Grimes. Divisive performers, both.

Well, this is close to the original. On television, they could not use the original sets and costumes for fear someone would claim Grand Rights, which was prohibitively expensive for the television producer. I saw the show during the first week on Broadway and remember being disappointed because Louis Jordan had been advertised as the lead. He was replaced by John Cullum, who I had seen a few years earlier replacing an indisposed i.e. drunk Richard Burton in Camelot. I began to wonder if I was ever going to see anybody else in the lead of a Broadway show. The show didn't work at all, but I'm so glad these few moments survived for everyone to see how wonderful both Barbara Harris and John Cullum actually were.
