Taylor Swift as Sandy in Grease remake!?

Hello, gorgeous fans. While nothing is set in stone and the project may not even be happening, there have been murmurs of a Grease remake. Olivia Newton-John, the star of the original movie, was recently asked who she would cast as Sandy in the remake and her response was Taylor Swift.....OY! What is WITH everyone?! She is just so BLEH! She has a thin, stupid voice, a one dimensional personality, she's just the worst. I'm not even a big Grease fan and that casting would still irk the hell out of me. Let's pray this never happens....

Bombshell Baby (Update)

Hello, gorgeous, adoring fans! For those of you who don't know, this summer I will be starring in an original musical, Bombshell Baby! written by Christiana Little and directed by Rachel Felstein! The website/blog has been newly redesigned and there are bios of our creative team, information on the show and an interview with MOI! Check it out!

Lucille Balle in Mame

Hello, gorgeous fans. Recently I was revisiting a musical that I have some history with, and would love to create some more history with it someday...if you know what I mean...ANYWAY! The musical is Mame and I think I'm just absolutely perfect for the title role, but I digress. What I really want to talk about is the movie version starring Lucille Ball. The movie was originally meant to star Angela Lansbury, but producers felt she wasn't famous enough to carry the film...despite being nominated for three Oscars and being very well know...so Lucille Ball was cast. Initially, George Cukor was set to direct the film, but after Lucy got into a skiing accident and had to take some time to recover, he pulled out of the film, and was replaced by the stage production's direct, Gene Saks.

Gene Saks was also married to Bea Arthur at the time, so she was cast as Vera. Originally, Bette Davis was being considered for the role, and I'm sure Cukor would have been happy to have her, but because Gene Saks was married to Bea, the role went to her. Another bit of casting trivia is that Madeline Kahn was set to play the maid, Agnes Gooch, but supposedly she and Lucy didn't get along and Kahn left the project. (I'm sure Madeline was stealing the movie...) Anyway, this film version opened to a big box office, but got the most dismal reviews ever. Sure it's stagy looking....sure Lucille Ball looks and sounds like a drag queen...and Bea Arthur....SURE the camera lens was covered with bacon fat whenever Lucy had a closeup...but I still absolutely adore this movie. I think Lucille Ball is absolutely charming in it and her costumes and makeup are just so enjoyably over the top. I think it's just a great story...and like I said, I'm hoping there's a production of Mame in my future...the entire film is on youtube! Check it out!

Veronica's Passover Story

Hello, my gorgeous fans of all religions! Many of you may not know, but I have some Jewish heritage that I am very proud of. Every year we sit around and celebrate passover. We eat some matzah, we read the Haggada, eat some bitter herbs, it's a good time. The best part of the evening is when I sit all the little jewish boys and girls down and tell them the passover story:

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful woman who put her even more beautiful, redhead, baby daughter, named Veronica into a basket to save her from the Egyptians. As luck would have it, the basket floated into the private beach of the Egyptian Queen, and she took in the beautiful Veronica as her own. Veronica grew us as an Egyptian Princess and was loved by all, but her not as beautiful sister, Egyptia, hated her and resented that she wasn't actually royalty and was just saved from the private beach.

Finally, Veronica started to realize that she was different than her Egyptian family. Unlike them, she often craved Gefilte Fish and Charoset, but she also just loved Broadway musicals, and wanted her unborn child to grow up to be a doctor. One day, Veronica was out amongst the Jewish slaves and struck up a conversation with an exotically beautiful, big-haired, jewish woman with a tie-dye bandana, who shared her love for Gefilte Fish and Broadway Musicals. Egyptian Princess Veronica realized that she was probably a Jew.

Upon discovering this, she set out to free the Jewish slaves. She begged her sister, Egyptia, who was now ruler of Egypt, to free the slaves, but she refused. Veronica warned her that God would send plagues unless she freed the jews. The plagues came: Mascara shortage, glitter explosions, wigs catching on fire, the original cast recording of Evita ceased to exist, etc. The Evita thing sent Egyptia over the edge and Veronica led the Jews from Egypt, to Florida. The end.

I just LOVE the holidays!

Another rare Patti LuPone performance!!!

Hello, gorgeous ones! Annie Get Your Gun, a musical I hope to do in the future, has amazing, catchy tunes, beautiful ballads and is just a good time for everything in the audience and everyone involved. Because it's such a fun show, I was THRILLED to find these videos of Patti LuPone performing the title role. Madame LuPone and I have had our issues in the past, but I can't help, but admire her artistry.
