Musical Monday

Hello! Now that the Rogue Festival is all done (final reviews to be posted soon) I shall resume the weekly postings as usual. 1970 is the year of our landing! This was the year the Tony voters applauded for Applause, allowing it to take home the Best Musical Tony. Two other musicals received their fair share of applause, just not quite enough. This week we honor one of those two. Happy Musical Monday!

Musical Monday date: 3/13/2017

Musical: Coco

Book, Music, and Lyrics: Alan Jay Lerner, Alan Jay Lerner, and Andre Previn

Broadway Run: December 18, 1969 - October 3, 1970

Awards Won: Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Rene Auberjonois), Best Costume Design/1970 Theatre World Award (David Holliday)

Other: Coco played 329 performances in the Mark Hellinger Theater.

Fun Fact: The title role of Coco Chanel was to be played by Rosalind Russell; however, due to her development of acute arthritis, the role was assigned to Katherine Hepburn.

There you have it! There is a cast recording roaming about the music waves, so go ahead and search and listen to that Lerner score if you so desire. Next week keeps us in 1970 land, so enjoy your week and have a lovely St. Patrick's Day! Go see a show!
