Question about Miss Eartha

[OrlandoMike]

I was listening to the Broadway channel on the way home and they were playing a cast album. They never broke in to announce what show it was.

Anyone have an idea?

Eartha Kitt was in it. Had a male character named "Black".... he seemed to be the star of the show..

(I only got to listen to about three songs)

So I'm looking on youtube for this show, and I find this!

Now I gotta ask, is there anyone over here, boy or girl, who woud'nt take Eartha for a "ride in the car"?

Gee - Mike I'm going to have to think on that.
They wrote about a musical she was in in the book Truman.

Why look all over the internet when IBDB has all the answers?

If it happened on Broadway, it's there.

Here's Eartha's entry: http://www.ibdb.com/person.php?id=48248

Sure it was not Pearl Bailey?

funny story - when we got Stella I tried to talk Paul into getting one of her brothers too - Stella in white so I wanted to call her pearl - and her brother I was going to call Bailey.

Won't you come home Pearl Bailey?
Won't you come home?

I knew Rob would get it!

Don't know why - I was thinking an older musical.
Wild Party is fairly new right?

I need to get over to Virgin before it closes to see if they have this CD!

Just be aware that there were two productions of "The Wild Party" running at the same time: one on Broadway, and one off Broadway. Make sure you confirm you are getting the one with Ertha in it.

BTW, if you want to hear an awesome song, get the Emporer's New Groove soundtrack and listen to Yzma's song that was cut out of the show called "Snuff Out the Light". It would have made a fabulous drag number!
