  2. Nice try, Jimbo, but it doesn’t really work. Your trying to sound highfalutin failed when you linked the Paper Mill Theatre.

    First thing I thought of was the GSP mill in Garfield. After that, I could only picture those mill workers, covered in paper pulp, putting on a performance for ya.

  4. Guy, assuming he was seeing “Meet Me in St. Louis,” why would a theatre putting on a play — based on a “movie…adapted by Irving Brecher and Fred F. Finklehoffe from a series of short stories by Sally Benson, originally published in The New Yorker magazine and later in the novel ‘5135 Kensington’,” — need any writers, striking or otherwise, if it had already been written? [source]

    By the way, it is my very humble, non-expert-in-these-matters opinion that nobody who ever was or ever will be could sing “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” quite as beautifully as Judy Garland did in the MGM film. I hope you saw someone 1/10 as good.

  5. I’m guessing that GuyK was referring to the stage hand strike that has closed down Broadway. Apparently, that featherbedding mob hasn’t made its way to Jersey theaters, so the show was not affected.

    As for Ms. Wiesass Jooette’s doing a bit of Clive Barnesing, at least Clive actually saw the shows he panned.

  6. My goodness — that was rather icy. My humble apologies, as I had mistaken the television and screenwriters’ strike with the stagehand strike. Pussies galore.

    And as a distant relative of Louis B. Mayer, who has seen her fair share of cinematic and theatrical gold, I consider myself quite qualified to critique a show through use of osmosis, as Musical Thee-Ah-Tah is in my blood.

    Friends?
