I saw the Encores PIPE DREAM, and was impressed that the Rodgers and Hammerstein license owners gave Leslie Uggams a second chance after her disastrous performance of their "June Is Bustin' Out All Over"

It's a classic!

"uhhhh...Miss Uggams?"

Yes Lesley Uggams was brilliant I thought in the Encores recording of 'Pipe Dream' far more in line with the character of Fauna than Helen Traubel high line recording in the original cast recording. Not that I dont like Helen Traubel

Yes I do and thought Lesley Uggams brilliant in the role of Fauna more realistic as the warm hearted madame of the whorehouse.

Just wanted to say I hope Brad is doing all right. I see he hasn't posted in almost two years.
We shared a lot of common interest in the B moves of a certain era. A short time span which doesn't get near the affection and attention that the era starting just a few years later does.

Seems like once they released Skatetown USA, the passion here died for hiim.

If he happens to be lurking- cheers, buddy!
