So… was there ever a scene or did they mention Riley getting over Unique catfishing him and all that jazz? His look of constipated anger during "if I Were a Boy" made me think he was going to freak out thinking he was the "boy" Unique was singing about instead of immediately standing up and saying, "we need names."…

She'll always be Will Smith's other aunt to me (not Aunt Viv I or II or Jackie Washington… you know, the one who marries Jethro from The Beverly Hillbillies: The Movie). I also got really sad cause Nell Carter would be so perfect as a witch on this show (or a better foil for Sue than Nene Leakes on Glee).

Adam Pally played a "gay dude bro" on Happy Endings and is playing a "frat dude bro" on The Mindy Project… so yes.

I tried Shazaming it and got nothing. I assume it was maybe just some session singer from one of these cheapo knockoff studio recordings that iTunes is littered with… your favorite songs blandly sung by people who aren't even given credit.

Yul Brynner in The King and I as well (and won Tony and Academy Awards for the role).

Only if Karen Black as Connie White is the killer… unless they can coax Barbara Harris out of retirement.

Sinatra as Billy Flynn really would have been the most perfect casting (in fact, he's my Billy in the fantasy MGM version of Chicago in my head featuring Judy Garland as Roxie, Ann Miller as Velma, Oscar Levant as Amos, and Pearl Bailey as Mama). I don't want to say Pacino would have been a revelation but hopefully he…

I really should reread All His Jazz… it's been a while. I've always wondered how he thought Chicago could work as a movie and if he wanted Madonna for Roxie or Velma. I really wish it had been done with Liza and Goldie Hawn back in the 80s… but then I wish the Ken Russell/ Liza Minnelli Evita had happened.

For the stage, one of my favorite musical numbers is "Who's That Woman" from Follies. It's really the first time the past and the present morph into one with a bunch of old broads reliving the dance they used to do in an old Ziegfeld Folliesque show. As the stumble through the old routine, their "ghosts" or "memories"…

I love "Pass That Peace Pipe" from Good News which features Joan McCracken (aka The First Mrs. Fosse) as June Allyson's second banana.

I don't give a damn that "Somewhere That's Green" and "Part of Your World" are the exact same song. They both work and we are all better people for having them both in our lives.

You might already know this but the opening sequence in All That Jazz is the actual dance routine Fosse would use to audition dancers for all his shows. My favorite number int he film is "Everything Old is New Again." Ann Reinking's legs are everything.

That they were able to take the delightful fluff "Oom Pah Pah" and turn it into a plot song where (spoiler?) Nancy tries to help Oliver escape Bill Sykes by getting a bunch of drunkards and sassy trollops to sing this drinking song and distract Sykes is a stroke of brilliance.

I feel she sort of "became" Carrie for a second. Her character on Glee has had a little huskier voice but she popped it up into Carrie's "But I couldn't help thinking…" voiceover. My roommate and I wondered how many times SJP had to do that scene without breaking.

I hope that all the sexual tension between LaDonna and Big Chief is just that - tension. It's pretty rare on television to see two adults of the opposite heterosex have a friendship and there not be a"'will they/ won't they" vibe. LaDonna and Albert have a bond, yes, but it seems more emotional… an affinity or…

I think she was courted so hard that she jumped without really reading the fine print on the contract. I liked the shot during the soft opening (or maybe after she opened) of the guy who was first trying to woo Janette out of New York to open a new spot in New Orleans. He congratulated Janette and she had this…

That's right! Oh, how quickly we forget. I still can't believe this was the Season Three finale; the characters (and the actors) have such a warm, lived-in feel that it seems like I've been watching them for longer.
