The Weather Girls: “It’s Raining Men”

Another one of my favorite songs from my club days in the ’80’s…

It’s still on my iPod gym mix….

I wonder if they ever played this one at parties at Lambda Chi Alpha at Washington and Lee?

Happy Birthday, Hugh Jackman

Since today is Hugh Jackman’s 42nd Birthday, I’m going to repost this one…..

Broadway Memories: Hugh Jackman as Peter Allen In “The Boy From Oz”

One of our great nights in the Theatre, a few seasons ago, was to see Hugh Jackman in “The Boy From Oz” on Broadway. If you only know him as Wolverine, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

This guy is amazing on stage. He totally captured Peter Allen’s style and personae. Peter was a showman and Hugh definitely is one, too.

And he never missed a performance during the entire run of the show.

Here are some clips:

And a couple of clips of the real, late, great, Peter Allen:

‘Jersey Boys’ Finally Heading to the Big Screen – The Moviefone Blog

This is great news. Ever since I saw this for the first time in New York, I thought it would be an even better film than a Broadway show. I hope they do this right….

Oh, what a night — if there’s one musical Hollywood’s been eager to get its hands on, it’s ‘Jersey Boys’ — also known as the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. The production has done killer business, pulling in over a billion dollars worldwide since its debut five years ago, while also earning four Tony Awards (including the weighty Best Musical) and a Grammy when the tunes were put on CD.

With solid success, ‘Jersey Boys’ powered forward with no Hollywood plans in sight, but all of that changed six weeks ago. The screen rights were made available, an auction commenced and after a big seven-figure deal, Graham King’s GK Films will whip the stage story into a feature film.
