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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fifty years young!
