Jaygee, have you been nipping a bit ... maybe at Joe Allen's or Sardi's, or maybe some bar in Chelsea?
 
I saw Oklahoma!, West Side Story, and My Fair Lady, all on Broadway while living there. Also Fiddler on the Roof, Pippin, The King and I, Grease, Godspell, and Shenandoah. 
 
 And of course since the old Republic and its vaudeville shows no longer operates, there's just not that much live theater on Broadway in Brooklyn.

They introduced the entire cast to us,which was a thrill. The movie version, left out Lucky to Be Me. I guess the movie director left the song out which should have been sung by Gene Kelly to Vera Ellen,( Miss Turnstyle)
