I rarely hear the Gingerbread Lady mentioned! I saw it as a teenager in Chicago with Shelly Winters. It was wonderful and lives on in my memory.

I saw "Gingerbread Lady" in London with Elaine Stritch.

When I was in my 20s. My first time to see Stritch on stage (had seen Jane Russell's Joanne). She was absolutely perfect for the role, and it was an electric performance, so grounded and real. And probably a preview of her Claire in "Delicate Balance," if I think about it.

I've always thought THE GINGERBREAD LADY would make a terrific musical for three strong female performers, and wonder why it's never been attempted. I also like its screen adaptation ONLY WHEN I LAUGH.
