Michael Bennett and Donna McKechnie were dancers together on Hullaballoo?

I wonder which is better: Hullabaloo or Solid Gold? Those Solid Gold dancers . . . whoa. I still remember that chick with the Crystal Gale hair.

I'm pretty sure Donna is an OCM of A Chorus Line . . . is Michael Bennett in that too? *too lazy to google or pull out the vinyl*

Are you buying the DVDs or something?

I am A-B'ing the game with a documentary on the Broadway Musical on PBS. Michael Bennett wrote/directed/choreographed A Chorus Line, actually!

I think that chick with the Crystal Gale hair was the choreographer! Solid Gold did have those weird pedestals to use as props and ended each little dance with a sultry pose. But I'm going to vote for Hullaballoo because they didn't need trashy costumes, and they danced all around the band that was performing, not just by themselves.

I haven't seen you online, la. Carrie keeps hinting you have something to ask me about?

I thought Michael Bennett sounded familiar re: A Chorus Line . . . that he wrote, directed, and choreographed the show would, erm, explain that quite nicely ;))

I loved Solid Gold when I was like 11, 12 -- those dancers in their gold shiny outfits were da bomb. But Hullabaloo has Go-Go boots!

Do you have my correct Y!M on your list? It's perfectly_pansy. I rarely use Slytherincess on Y!M anymore, because I started getting strange pings. I'm *always* online.

um.

It means something to me; is that how they met? Weird!

Re: um.

Apparently it was! It's so odd, as Hullaballoo and A Chorus Line don't seem like they could possibly have contained the same people and yet they would have been only 8 or so years apart.

(heck, the Cards just scored)

one of the great het pairings - with dancing!

[earthquake1906.livejournal.com]

As you are a dancer & dance enthusiast yourself - wasn't theirs one of the great het pairings? Even though it didn't last, it produced some killer art that we can all enjoy. Maybe that's all we can ask.

Yeah - Hullaballoo - it's a bit like all those people who came out of the Mickey Mouse Club (or whatever that other Disney thing was, that I am too old to have watched, but a lot of pop-rockers are alumnae) -

Hope you are getting plenty of sleep and drinking liquids so you can get through the Series. Those playoffs were quite a test of stamina on the fans; I can't even imagine what the players went through -

Are you watching the history of Broadway thing on PBS? I saw it this week and yeah, I didn't know they danced together either.

[jlh.livejournal.com]

Yep. I was A-B'ing it with the game, but they've caught back up to the 80s, which I watched last night and which isn't that interesting anyway, let's face it.

It isn't so much that they danced together as it makes a certain amount of sense, but, Hullaballoo?????

[adjudicated.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I still think it's funny/weird that Morgan Freeman and Bill Cosby were on The Electric Company.

And Rita Moreno! Don't forget her!

[adjudicated.livejournal.com]

OMG, that's RIGHT.

I was at first taken aback to see Rita on HBO's Oz.

(No need to reply to this; I'm just horribly behind on my LJ comments)

PBS is great isn't it? I was watching that also.

[bookshop.livejournal.com]

everybody is catching that show but me. wah. i hope they release it on dvd or something!!!!

[jlh.livejournal.com]

They have, because they're offering it as a premium for a pledge. There's also a book. So I'm sure if you go to pbs.org you can find it.
