Happy Birthday, Martha Plimpton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                    Continuing with  Musical Theater Week, I would  like to  wish Martha Plimpton a Happy Birthday!  Now, many may not think of her as  a "Musical Theater Person," being known for her comedic and dramatic skills.  However, as the daughter of  Shelley Plimpton, who introduced the song "Frank  Mills" in the  original Broadway production of "HAIR," she is the show's  official love child!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                      Added to that, Martha has shown her musical chops with  her band work,  and her wonderful turns  in "Pal  Joey," which I saw, and in the New York Philharmonic's  "COMPANY," back in 2013, when she played Sarah to Stephen Colbert's Harry.  She just about stole  the entire show!  Wish I could have seen  her read Anne in  the recent stage reading of  "Valley Of The Dolls."


                                       Not only  is Broadway missed, but so is  Martha.  Both come back to  us  soon, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                        As for  singing  "Frank  Mills," Martha, don't worry about a thing.  Allison Case  and  I have  you and your mother's backs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                         Celebrate  as  you choose,  Martha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Cannot believe you are 50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
    You can laugh if your dreams fall apart at the seams...
