You never know, BG. If Pamela Anderson can have a career renaissance, who's to say Paris Hilton isn't hiding a phenomenal musical theatre talent!
Why, not since Lenore Lonergan ...!

Why, I can't remember the last time I was confused by a large penis. I suppose none of us can.

Nathan and Laurie should switch parts back and forth, a la the Linney/Nixon Little Foxes. That'll fill up that huge theatre!

Ha-ha! Not sure the contemporary gay meaning was used in the early 1950s, but in any event it's called that because of California's state flag.

Agree that the Encores album is pretty wonderful. I've done the show twice and seen it a third time, and I don't remember the ending that way. I wonder if it had to do specifically with that adaptation?

I can definitely hear Shirley scoring huge with Sweet Thursday & her reprise of All at Once You Love Her. Suzy is a Good Thing would be dicier in her voice, but she'd act the heck out of it.
