TODAY IN THEATRE HISTORY: In 1987, Patti LuPone recreates Ethel Merman’s role of Reno Sweeney in a revival of Anything Goes, opening tonight at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre. The 1934 Cole Porter musical has been revamped, adding several of his original songs to the score. The show earns several rave reviews, especially for LuPone. Frank Rich says that “Ms. LuPone is the top. She has lips so insinuatingly protruding they could make the Pledge of Allegiance sound lewd.” It runs for 784 performances.

Day 4 of my Broadway Billy appreciation

Tommy Batchelor (February 2009 - December 2009 on Broadway,                             March 2010 - October 2010 in Chicago)

The often overlooked 4th original Billy. Tommy was at first the understudy for Billy and for the role of Tall Boy/Posh Boy. When he moved to Chicago to join the First Tour he finally got the recognition he deserved.
