Last night we saw the musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at Keller Auditorium. We both really enjoyed it. The cast was entertaining and the music was a lot of fun. My favorite number was "Great Big Stuff," so I present you with a clip from the 2005 Tonys in which the original stars, John Lithgow and Norbert Leo Butz, perform it.
BTW, YouTube has tons of bootleg Broadway videos. Search for a show title, song title, or performer names and you're bound to find just about anything. So naughty!
So ends our 2006-2007 Broadway in Portland series. It was the first time we'd done the whole season and it was sooo worth it. We started with a pre-season run of Hairspray (loved it way more than we expected to), then saw Wicked (perfectly fabulous), Sweet Charity (Molly Ringwald was disappointing overall, but we enjoyed the music), The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (surprisingly hilarious and very unique), and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. We were on a cruise during Annie (Katie and Grandma Kiyomi went and loved it) and skipped The Light in the Piazza.
We've got season tickets for 2007-2008 and our first show, Spamalot, is in August. I wrote several months ago about the other shows for the season.
That's enough culture for today. Back to our regular crass-itude soon.
Lovies!
