“Forget about the boy”

From Thoroughly Modern Millie, performed on the 2002 Tony Awards. Exhilarating. Last Sunday, Mitchell, Rachel and I went to Side Trak, a gay bar in Chicago – and every Sunday afternoon they have a “musical comedy video” extravaganza. Hard to explain how much work goes into these compilations, that play on every screen in the joint – and the videos are different every week. Bea Arthur and Angela Lansbury performing “Bosom Buddies” (a favorite at Side Trak), various clips from Rocky Horror -but seriously, whoever puts together these videos is AMAZING. They find everything, they keep everything – and people flock to Side Trak, to have a cocktail, and sing along to EVERYTHING.

So look. Forget about the boy. That’s an order!

    One of my all time favorite clips EVER! I keep reposting this pretty much every other month. I LOVE that you guys went to Side Tracks. Just thinking about it makes me really happy.

    It was so fun – it’s always fun!! I went there with MILES once. Please try to picture that. He sang along at the TOP of his lungs.

    I love in the clip when the crazy boss with the wacko hair breaks out into a tap solo.
