  1. @culturednyc Lionel Stander also used that voice to stand up for democracy during the McCarthy era. From his #NYT obituary, under questioning by #HUAC, β€œMr. Stander lectured the committee on democracy and due process of law and refused to repeat under oath his former frequent denials that he had ever been a Communist.” He was blacklisted in Hollywood for 24 years. BTW, he has a great late-career role in #NewYorkNewYork. nytimes.com/1994/12/02/obituar

  2. "Theme from New York, New York", often abbreviated to just "#NewYorkNewYork", is the #themeSong from the #MartinScorsese musical film New York, New York (1977), composed by #JohnKander, with lyrics by #FredEbb. #LizaMinnelli performs the song during the finale of the film. It was nominated for the #GoldenGlobeAwardForBestOriginalSong. Two years later, #FrankSinatra covered the song, and it became closely identified with both him and #NewYorkCity.

  3. Anna Uzele -- β€œBut the World Goes β€˜Round”

    This a wonderful rendering of a favourite song of mine. As a YouTube commenter points out, Anna Uzele doesn't just mimic Liza Minnelli but instead makes the song her own.

  8. I knew Scorcese's "New York, New York" wasn't thought of as one of his best movies, but I did not know it was 3 hours long. It has good parts, (and Liza Minelli's performance,) but doesn't really hold together as a whole. I also dunno if Bob De Niro was right, or believable, in the role as an abusive philandering musician, though nice to see him pretending to play a vintage Conn tenor, instead of the usual Selmer...

  9. My mother wanted to see New York, New York when she visits in October, but it's unexpectedly closing, so I'm now catching the final show.

  10. #PrimeVideo's original series #Transparent is getting a stage musical makeover. #ATransparentMusical has completed its world premiere run at the #MarkTaperForum in Los Angeles, and is setting its sights on #Broadway for a 2024 premiere. It will be the latest musical project from #MGMStudios, which currently has adaptations of #SomeLikeItHot and #NewYorkNewYork currently lighting up Broadway.
