June 10, 2007--Back to Broadway
Well, just when you thought she'd finally retire, rumor has spread that she will take her tired concert to a Broadway theater and call it a one-woman show.  Why am I not surprised?  I think she's figured that performing is her only source of income and she is going to do it until no one is willing to pay.  Forget her retirement statements.  She is used to a lifestyle.  A lifestyle that needs substantial income.  Well, I for one vote that her act replace the equally tired Grey Gardens, which is the most overrated production currently on Broadway.  Indeed, that dreadful show which features the most ghastly song ever composed for a musical: Jerry Likes My Corn.  There is one thing that will send me to my crypt early--Barbra singing Jerry Likes My Corn.  What else could top Emily?

This may be the show that closes on Browadway before it opens. Fans will realize they can spend $20 on a CD to hear the same thing instead of a few thousand dollars on a concert. Of course cheeze won't be involved.

I agree. I eat cheese whenever I'm listening to the CD and it totally enhances the experience. And when I say I'm eating cheese, I mean the real thing. Not Louis (as delicious as his legs may be).

By the way, "Jerry Likes My Corn" sounds like another horrid version of "Frank Mills". I haven't hear it but I shudder to think about it.

Sorry, Louis. GREY GARDENS is a masterpiece. Best musical on Broadway right now.

No, The Drowsy Chaperone is the best musical on Broadway right now or ever. Grey Gardens is ok. I think Louis likes Beauty and the Beast more than anything else. Is Louis the Beauty or the Beast? Discuss.

Actually, Legally Blonde is the best musical on Broadway at this time. I may go see Beauty and the Beast my next time in NY. I am neither Beauty or Beast. I am more like Gaston
