Among My Souvenirs - "Hello, Dolly!" / Ethel Merman
August 1970 program for "Hello, Dolly!" starring Ethel Merman at the St James Theatre in the Broadway Theatre District in New York City. Ethel could shake the rafters of the largest theatre without a microphone.
Not sure if I saw this performance, but definitely saw her in Mineola.
Around 2002 saw "The Producers" at the St James Theater. The show had been completely sold out for over a year -- I paid full box office price and got a good seat in the front row of the balcony. The stage show was a hyped up version of the original movie and lived up to the theme "nothing exceeds like excess" - the "Springtime for Hitler" sequence was a parody of a satire of an insanely over the top extravanganza. The movie of the stage show (second movie version) was toned own and cleaned up by comparison.
