Our version is a happy medium of the Original 1957 Broadway production with enough of the 1961 movie mixed in to keep it Nostalgic. (I thinks its funny that I landed the Role of Arab, because 2 years ago I played "Gideon" in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Russ Tablyn) and Here I am in a later Tablyn role! I had the biggest fight over designing and set dressing for this show with management... is there anyway you could email me? I'd love to send you pictures and tell you all about it!Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403425991447291560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22615056.post-54538709844392430852012-09-13T16:07:30.132-04:002012-09-13T16:07:30.132-04:00LOL at your mom and her "black and white"...LOL at your mom and her "black and white" comment. Seeing our favorite classics on the big screen is always an incredible experience. So glad you enjoyed it, and I loved reading all your observations!<br />LaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22615056.post-89373388541520298522011-11-21T13:39:13.964-05:002011-11-21T13:39:13.964-05:00Jacqueline T Lynch,
It was an awesome experience....Jacqueline T Lynch, <br />It was an awesome experience. Anita's voluminous purple skirt looks even more commanding when it's that huge! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Thanks.<br /><br /><br />Rick,<br />I would sell my [insert name of valuable object here] for a chance to see ROBIN HOOD on the big screen! Do you have a post about it or other classic films you've seen in theater? I'd love to read your take on it all.<br /><br /><br />Mick! I'm so glad to see you here again. Wasn't WSS just wonderful? "Rush" is definitely the appropriate word. <br /><br />How did your production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers go? I'm sure everyone loved it. I did and I wasn't even there. Did anyone notice your blue-ish plates on the Pontipee cupboard?<br /><br />Page,<br />Thank you for the feature; I truly appreciate it. <br /><br />What about musicals makes you want to fast forward? Is it the stopping the dialogue to sing and dance? The omnipresent invisible orchestra that shows up and knows the hero's key, and other implausible stuff like that? Are they just longer than necessary? <br /><br />I'm really inquisitive. :)<br /><br /><br />Paul,<br /> What has your experience with big screen classic movies been like?<br /><br />I had no idea bout the Blu-ray release. I've never seen a movie on Blu-ray. Is the quality better than a regular DVD? Do you get more bonus features?<br /><br />Thank you to everyone for stopping by.JavaBeanRushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05653117187583244224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22615056.post-71394788341783311402011-11-14T11:17:32.292-05:002011-11-14T11:17:32.292-05:00Java I've seen West side Story on the big scre...Java I've seen West side Story on the big screen many times, glad you got to experience it.

I've been fortunate to see three of my faves in theatres, to include THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD. Each viewing was a tasty treat.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22615056.post-5427427861579856352011-11-13T07:44:06.300-05:002011-11-13T07:44:06.300-05:00I love this.

I've never seen this film on the big screen, but I'm going to remember your comments the next time I have a look at it on TV. I won't see the detail you did, but I'll know it's there. Great post, thanks so much.Jacqueline T. Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047941886908178350noreply@blogger.com
