This snapshot was taken at the closing night party for the original production of South Pacific on January 17, 1954. Rodgers and Hammerstein are about to help three Knucklehead Nellie’s wash the men right outta their hair, with (from left-to-right) Tony-winning original Mary Martin, Janet Blair and Martha Wright. Gotta love these vintage posed-publicity shots.
As it was at the overture and shall be at the exit music, bliss without end. Amen.

- Robert Duvall as Boo Radley. Gets me every time. Exceptional work from Duvall and a wonderfully unaffected Mary Badham. #tokillamockingbird

(about 1 hour ago) - RT @terryteachout: I am, needless to say, a Sondheim man, but anyone who doesn't like "The Music Man" is a dried-up old crab.
(about 2 hours ago) - Watching the blu-ray of "To Kill a Mockingbird." Stunning in every possible way. #mycatsnameisatticus
