20 years after working on the movie (with Carol Burnett and Tracey Ullman) I’ll read about how the musical came into being. When Broadway was golden and musicals were something new.
A must read in my opinion:)
I’d happily sew another 20 mattress covers while listening to this book:)

I love quick turnarounds and mutual delight: I com I love quick turnarounds and mutual delight:
I completed the coat during the night between setup and first show day, minus the buttons. During fridt day of show the coat earned it’s buttons.  Briefly, after dinner time this delightful woman walked in and asked me to take this coat off the stand, then button her in. We’ve exchanged more smiles and gestures then words before she left to her next staging with the coat enveloping her. #bellevueartmuseum #artshow #BAM #imaginess #uteswork #agoodfriday #showtime #mutualdelight

“Kiss a lover. Dance a measure. Find your name and “Kiss a lover. Dance a measure.
Find your name and buried treasure.
Face your life. It’s pain. It’s pleasure,
Leave no path untaken.”
(dancing the Macabray according to Neil Gaiman in his Graveyard book)
“Be whole, be dust, be dream, be wind.
Be night, be dark, be wish, be mind.
Now slip, now slide, now move unseen.
Above, beneath, betwixt, between.”
The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman For Mario.
