From History of the world Part 1:
Count de Monet: Don't get saucy with me, Bernaise.

Or from Scilent Movie : Marcel Marceau: [the only line heard] Non!

Amy Stark Comment:
Bravo... I love History of the World Part I... Silent Movie is farther down the list of favorites. Young Frankenstein is my favorite. Another Mel Brooks classic that is making noise on the Great White Way.

One ticket left!

Amy,

"If God wanted us to fly, he would have given us tickets."

So do I win a ticket to fly on over to the Producers?

Lou

Both very good. I have a soft spot for To Be or Not to Be, don't know why. It's certainly not his most popular or funniest.

I RECEIVED A NOTE FROM MICHAEL (8:30pm Thursday) THAT HE WILL BE UNABLE TO ATTEND DUE TO A CONFLICT, SO THERE IS STILL A TICKET UP FOR GRABS.

Amy, I don't get it either. I had a REALLY good time there and thought that the smart, funny people on SI would be the perfect audience for it.

I thought Smoosiers would flock to it. Maybe they just didn't see it the first time I posted it.

I'm glad you saw it and enjoyed it, Rae, even if you do hate Live Musical Theatre =) That was a fun evening.

Even though I can't go, I can't resist giving you my favorite quote, which is from "Young Frankenstein."

Gene Wilder: Igor, will you help me with the bags.
Marty Feldman: Soitanly! You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the toybun (turban).

Oh, and I don't even want to know about the whole underwear thing. Some things are best left unsaid.

After I went with you guys, still singing "Springtime for Hitler" I rented the DVD of the Lane/Broderick version and I have to say, I thought B&B actually had a tighter, funnier production. I agree with Lou Harry, that Lane was a much more cynical, devious Bialystock; Doug was much sweeter. Both were great, but different interpretations of the character. But Eddie Curry's Bloom was easily better than Matthew Broderick's. He just breathed life into the role; the neuroses were palpable and the hysteria was hysterical.

I wholeheartedly agree... Eddie kicks ass as Bloom. I was unimpressed with Broderick and the whole movie, actually.

Over the past 20 years, I've seen Eddie perform everything from Mortimer in Camelot, to Bob Cratchet in A Christmas Carol, and I think it's the best work he's ever done.
