  1. Couldn't your fiance find somewhere close by to swim. Just a suggestion.
  2. I met Mary in Philadelphia around 1980. It was a conversation of about five or six minutes, She was a relatively normal person. No cute, I am. And certainly, far less aloof than Merman. "She had that tendency, I guess. Much as I love her Peter Pan, for instance, the same thing happens there. " @bostonman wrote
  3. Yes, the production you mention was in 1996. I remember it now. I agree that a Broadway revival would be difficult now. One reviewer wrote that Martin was "too cute." He was right.
  4. Great. But, it has nothing to do with the Robert Preston Mary Martin musical.
  5. My friend Marino from Argentina. I met him in a political science class at that University of Pennsylvania before he because famous in South America for a Disney TV series.
  6. Of course, it was not his job. And even if he said something, it was likely too late to make changes. And it was too late to tell Yannick to stick to conducting the Orchestra.

    I am not a close follower, just very occasionally. And his disagreement was relatively minor.
  8. A star vehicle for Robert Preston and Mary Martin, but the musical has never been revived. This is being discussed elsewhere on the internet. Gower Champion directed the two person cast so that each performer had short breaks while the other performer took over. According to Martin, the small cast eventually had to admit the roles were too exhausting and cut back to six performances a week. Preston and Martin performed with bad colds and other illnesses rather than cancel. After Robert Preston died, Mary paid tribute to Preston and her late husband, Richard Halliday, at the Tony Awards with part of a song from "I Do! I Do!" I hope some producer attempts a revival, but knowing the potential problems.

    You are making a general statement that most people would understand on some level, but not everyone. Giving a negative rating (a dislike) to someone who disagrees makes me question your ability to accept a different view. Few people are one hundred per cent on this subject.
