The Singa-alonga originated in London and then toured the U.S (Be afraid, they also mounted an Annie production). I gather the Bowl version was not a Sing-alonga but still a similar experience. I spent a drunken five minutes waving around plastic daisies from the goodie bag around and yelling, "This ain't no fing edelweiss!" The costume contest was fabulous. Many people dressed as a 'Favorite Thing'. I won, and drank, a door prize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11811998.post-1121268472377910392005-07-13T08:27:00.000-07:002005-07-13T08:27:00.000-07:00That sounds fabulous.

Love the goatherder song, my favorite things, sixteen going on seventeen, and so long farewell. I loved the relationship between Liesl and Friedrich? Of course, I love any West Side Story relationship. I really liked Liesl as a name for my daughter at one point. Also, I had my high school graduation ceremony at the bowl. Thanks for the memories. Sorry I missed you at the WeHo SnB last week. Ellen and I think you'd be great for a book on crocheted food I'm lightly concepting.

I always took my own "torta rustica" a sort of calzone with a lattice top... and because it was the 70's you could get stoned even if you didn'g smoke... then by the time you had to walk down the hill you were more or less sobered up, and had time for a nice nap on the trip back to Pasadena.<BR/><BR/>On our first date, his transmission fell out in front of the Hollywood Bowl. I married him anyway. Thanks for the blast to the past! and the new photos.Dana S.

My sister is a veteran of Manchester screenings (filled with gay men dressed as the nuns) and she waves her piece of curtain fabric at the right time. She is word-perfect throughout the whole film. It's like having a transatlantic gap badly dubbed when we watch it with her as she is just that bit ahead of the dialogue in her excitement, and it's quite hysterical. But the Hollywood Bowl must be THE place to go to one of these!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11811998.post-1121117596971563402005-07-11T14:33:00.000-07:002005-07-11T14:33:00.000-07:00okay.. that is the first time I've actually WANTED...okay.. that is the first time I've actually WANTED to go to L.A.!!<BR/><BR/>Oh, I would SO be singing, without the wine...I don't need wine...just the song and a place to sing unabashedly...<BR/><BR/>NancyNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12629439279545629954noreply@blogger.com
