Nancy Pelosi:

I have a vision of the scene where she helps Mary Clancy and tells her about her past life in Paris, done through chanson, which builds into a sequence where she spins out of the habit and is suddenly young and in couture (a wig reveal for the ages), then she's put back into the habit by the end.

The Trouble With Angels with Donna Murphy as Mother Superior.

This is for about six of you.

The exquisite Shirley Booth brings down the house as the German mother superior in Look to the Lilies (a short-lived 1970 musical adaptation of Lilies of the Field), with an assist from Al Freeman, Jr.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

"Tried to elope/But the Pope said nope/Our only hope" is god-tier musical theatre rhyming.

Caring about and remembering other human beings is just too woke for the GOP, which, not coincidentally, did its very best to usher them into the grave.

wild that this happened within 24 hours of bolsanaro going to prison. will be a timeless textbook example of what works to save a democracy and what doesn’t

Take a moment today to check in with older people who seem disconnected from reality and may be unwell.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

This reporter will get vile death threats and may need security just for doing her job. Not acceptable.

YouTube video by Be Kind Rewind The Wizard of Oz at Sphere Is Nightmare Fuel

While we're talking about Ozian revisionism, this is an extremely satisfying takedown of the inane AI "Wizard of Oz" at Sphere, from Be Kind Rewind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgEm...

Barbara Cook's portamento slide the last time she sings "Oh, well..." during "Some Other Time" 😮‍💨

It's Better With a Band by Barbara Cook on Apple Music Album · 1981 · 15 Songs

I have the 1981 LP and the more comprehensive 2002 CD edition from DRG; the digital version of the latter is streaming: music.apple.com/us/album/its...

Quite literally listening to that very track right now.

Such artistry. Such an interesting song selection; the way she does "Marianne"!

A real shame they left "Chain of Love" from The Grass Harp off that album. It brought the concert to an absolute standstill.

Honestly, one of the greatest live albums I've ever heard.
