Broadway Fred

Sunday I am in the TKTS line on Broadway for half price tickets and a young man is hawking Blithe Spirit starring “the legendary Angela Lansbury.”  He seems like a nice young man and Angela Lansbury is a famous actress, but she is not legendary.  Now, if the Gryphon or the Pushmi-Pullyu were in the play, then the word “legendary” would be appropriate.

Come to think of it, I would enjoy seeing the Pushmi-Pullyu in the Angela Lansbury role.

  1. Pushmepullyu has always creeped me out, even as a child. How does it…(let’s find an acceptible way to say this) Relieve itself?

    Nothing should have a head at both ends. Nightmarish.
