july is a big month — bruce’s and my anniversay (26!) and my birthday (no comment, except to say we met in when we were in day care together) … the following was originally written as a poem and then three different composers set it to music without my knowledge … i did adapt it as a lyric and that is the version here …
twenty-five years ago, my first professionally produced musical, fourtune was playing off-broadway at the actors playhouse … this is the lyric to the song from that score which got the most attention … and it certainly seems appropriate to post it for gay pride month … we’re putting together a staged reading of fourtune as a benefit for the gay and lesbian center on w. 13th street on august 8 and john tartaglia will be singing this song … watch this website for details …
Side Show is currently playing at Cultural Arts Playhouse in Old Bethpage, NY, running May 7th -May 29th.
