This is essentially the first couple of paragraphs from the Wikipedia article, along with some other info, ALL of which I originally wrote for Wikipedia. The CZ version, therefore, is all my own words. Hayford Peirce 16:11, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
- Seeing as how you are a much better wordsmith than I, I think somehow rewording the first paragraph/sentence to link to the Rodgers and Hammerstein article would be good. Perhaps not even mention them as individuals? Just a thought. --Todd Coles 16:24, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
- I dunno about the wordsmithing, hehe, but I am gonna do your suggestion in a few minutes -- I had already been mulling it over. Hayford Peirce 16:32, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
Notes to add:
NYC Opera, 1987
- I dunno that one. Hayford Peirce 01:45, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
Film versions; 1958?
- Yes, I think so. Hayford Peirce 01:45, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
television one with Glenn Close.
- Filmed in Aussie land, I believe. They cut out Happy Talk, but overall pretty good, the staging of "Nuttin' like a Sheila" was terrific! Hayford Peirce 01:45, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
2005 staged reading (er..'singing') lovely performance Aleta Curry 23:44, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- The one with Reba McIntyre? Yes, that was really very well done! I had, I think, the complete score and orchestration of the Broadway version, but not, I think, the Phil. PA, song....
'How far away?' - Hayford?
Is the song you mention in the last paragraph (my girl back home) the same one that has a lyric 'how far away, Pennsylvania, PA/Little Rock ARK?' I'm thinking it is. Since I've got that snippet in my brain, it has to be in a version I've seen; I'm thinking the movie. Aleta Curry 23:47, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, it was in the movie, and it's on some recordings. I've always thought that it was a terribly insipid song, one that was rightly cut. But, of course, not everyone agrees with me -- I read a comment by someone, maybe a blogger, a couple of months ago who said that he/she *loved* the song. Bizarre, bizarre....
