EVERYBODY REJOICE! In 1943 –– 4 years after Judy Garland & friends traveled to Oz –– #TheWiz opened on Broadway, directed by Noble Sissle and starring Dinah Washington, Fats Waller, The Nicholas Brothers, and Lottie Gee (among others).
In 1968, producer Richard Rodgers and director Arthur Laurents brought a daring and modern new musical to Broadway: DAYS OF WINE & ROSES, starring Richard Kiley and Dorothy Collins.
Today, love is in the air!💕 …and so is murder.🔫 In 1967, on the heels of MAME, #AngelaLansbury opened on Broadway in #NoelCoward’s delightful staging of A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER.
In 1971, Nancy Sinatra, Sandy Duncan, and Ellen Greene invited Donna McKechnie to sit with them at the lunch table in the *original* Broadway production of #TinaFey’s #MeanGirls.
In 1962, director Katherine Dunham and a starry cast brought #TheColorPurple to #Broadway for the first time. Those who got to hear Tina Turner’s “I’m Here” live during her brief run in the show describe it as the stuff of legend.
“Final” musical? In 1974, Stephen Sondheim & David Ives’ #HereWeAre opened at the Alvin Theatre on #Broadway, produced by Hal Prince & Joe Papp and directed by Michael Bennett, where it was praised for its insightful modernity.
In 1965, Bud, Doug, and Helvetica came to Broadway for the *first* time in #GutenbergTheMusical, starring #JerryLewis and #DickVanDyke as New Jersey's favorite nursing home workers with a dream!
⏱️GREAT SCOTT! ⏰ On November 5, 1955, Doc Brown returned to the past and Jimmy Durante’s Delorean landed on Broadway for the original production of #BackToTheFuture The Musical.
In 1983, the Sewer Boys took Broadway by storm under the direction of Howard Ashman! …for 32 performances. Gary Beach & Nathan Lane starred as f*cking identical twins, separated at birth, who try to reunite their parents (George Rose and Carol Channing). #DicksTheMusical
In 1982, following MERRILY's Broadway failure, Warren Beatty & Mike Nichols teamed up with their friend Steve Sondheim and an ensemble of old "friends" to bring a film adaptation to the screen. You’ve never heard it sung like this! And from that, ISHTAR was born.
In October 1948, #spookyseason arrived on Broadway with George Abbott’s original production of #YoungFrankenstein, featuring Jack Haley, Vivian Blaine and, together again for the first time, Zero Mostel & Mel Brooks. People still talk about Sophie Tucker’s “He Vas My Boyfriend.”
Closing out #summerstock season (just under the wire) with a trip to Texas. Are you seeing AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY under the stars? Or would you prefer to see The Arnaz Family as The Addams Family?
We're back after a little break to close out summer stock season! You're only in Oakdale for one night in the summer of '60...do you see Ferrer & Gingold in #SweeneyTodd? Phil Silvers in #Beetlejucie? Merrill & Hunt in #Phantom? Stiller & Blaine in #LittleShop?
Tomorrow, @todaysBWAYyday turns 4 years old (which means I can advertise NOW IN ITS 5TH SMASH YEAR)! Taking a little summer break, but more shenanigans to come this fall. 🧁

Couldn’t get better casting than Ellen Greene as Karen tbh
In 1971, Nancy Sinatra, Sandy Duncan, and Ellen Greene invited Donna McKechnie to sit with them at the lunch table in the *original* Broadway production of #TinaFey’s #MeanGirls.
Bob Mackie costume designing Mean Girls would be iconic behavior

👏👍🏼

@todaysBWAYyday now I'm just depressed that Madeline Khan isn't alive
Currently in London for a week. The agenda is The Witches, Guys & Dolls, Peter Pan, Sunset Blvd, and Crazy For You. Happy Christmas ♥️
@todaysBWAYyday That's funny because I find him articulate and sane in it. Compared to what he became.
@todaysBWAYyday "Freddie Brisson"! on Mr. ෴'s birthday???!!!!
Because of the lapse in Capitol's judgment over the original Broadway cast recording of Follies, I really don't have a definitive go-to recording (I have an amalgam of the OBCR and OBC soundboard that suffices) But this one was my gateway Follies and I'm so glad they came.
Casting 32-year-old Mandy Patinkin as Buddy was certainly a choice.
My love language is a complete Broadway cast recording of Shuffle Along [2016].
Someone said our love language is based on what we didn’t receive in our childhood. 🤨
All star in everything. George Furth & Sondheim birthed Company. Michael Bennett choreography. Tony Walton & Ann Roth - Broadway designers. Mike Nichols …gigantic.💜☮️✌️

Do you ever sit around and think about Warren Beatty was on the short list for the West Side Story movie are you normal?
