Scottish Gal needs advice

[lynnmci]

Being Scottish as said I have absolutely no idea who Rita Moreno or Phil Donahue are and they are the narrators that are at CP when we are in the World. Can anyone advise me who to go and see please!!!!!!

I wish i was there when Gary Sinise was he is just fantastic. i love CSI NY.

I can't advise you who to go see, but I can tell you who they are... I know Rita Moreno was famous for her role as Anita in West Side Story on Broadway and was one of the first people to win a Tony, Emmy, Oscar and Grammy.

Phil Donahue was a talk show host... unless there is another Phil Donahue that I don't know about! I haven't heard anything about him in ages so I don't really know what he does now.

Hope this helps!

Rita Moreno is an accomplished actress, singer, dancer etc.. Starred in numerous films and tv shows. As the pp stated has also been on Broadway.

Phil Donohue was the host of the Phil Donohue show. Married to Marlo Thomas(That Girl, Danny Thomas' daughter).

I would probably choose Rita Moreno as the one I would go to see.

Here are a couple of links that might give you an idea:

Rita Moreno

Phil Donahue

I would think that Rita Moreno would be better just because she is a very accomplished actress and I bet her reading would be very expresive and enjoyable.

Phil Donahue is a host and while I don't think his would be bad, it just may not have the creativity that Rita Moreno would have.

In the movie, not on Broadway.

Consider yourself lucky.

One is a whiny feminist who likes to talk about feelings and how horrible "men" are.

The other is a talented woman.

Rita Moreno played the Puerto Rican girl Anita. You should remember her from the bid production number on the roof. Some were singing about how great things were back in Puerto Rico while the others thought things were better in America.

ROSALIA
Puerto Rico,
You lovely island . . .
Island of tropical breezes.
Always the pineapples growing,
Always the coffee blossoms blowing . . .

ANITA
Puerto Rico . . .
You ugly island . . .
Island of tropic diseases.
Always the hurricanes blowing,
Always the population growing . . .
And the money owing,
And the babies crying,
And the bullets flying.
I like the island Manhattan.
Smoke on your pipe and put that in!

OTHERS
I like to be in America!
O.K. by me in America!
Ev'rything free in America
For a small fee in America!

ROSALIA
I like the city of San Juan.

ANITA
I know a boat you can get on.

ROSALIA
Hundreds of flowers in full bloom.

ANITA
Hundreds of people in each room!

ALL
Automobile in America,
Chromium steel in America,
Wire-spoke wheel in America,
Very big deal in America!

ROSALIA
I'll drive a Buick through San Juan.

ANITA
If there's a road you can drive on.

ROSALIA
I'll give my cousins a free ride.

ANITA
How you get all of them inside?

ALL
Immigrant goes to America,
Many hellos in America;
Nobody knows in America
Puerto Rico's in America!

ROSALIA
I'll bring a T.V. to San Juan.

ANITA
If there a current to turn on!

ROSALIA
I'll give them new washing machine.

ANITA
What have they got there to keep clean?

ALL
I like the shores of America!
Comfort is yours in America!
Knobs on the doors in America,
Wall-to-wall floors in America!

ROSALIA
When I will go back to San Juan.

ANITA
When you will shut up and get gone?

ROSALIA
Everyone there will give big cheer!

ANITA
Everyone there will have moved here!
