| When I was taken to see the Nat Co. of Molly Brown in Boston in summer of '62, there was a knee high placard in the small lobby of the Shubert. It stated 'at this performance the role of Molly Tobin will be played by Karen Morrow'. My godmother asked me if I wanted to get tix to see Tammy Grimes at another date I said no- I can't remember if there was an announcement from the stage- but from our seats in the first row of the balcony, we noticed an empty box seat and my godmother asked the usher at intermission if we could switch to the box, so that's where we sat. And of course Miss Morrow and Harve Presnell were just wonderful.........But what I remember especially was that while my godmother was at the boxoffice window,buying tix for my mother and sister to see the show the following week, I noticed that sign and said "Tammy Grimes isn't on today"(I knew Molly Tobin was the same as Molly Brown-I knew the cast album by heart) and when I said Tammy Grimes isn't on today, I heard several "What?s and the line at the box office got longer. |
