Elaine Stritch and the rant
Posted by: AnObserver 08:24 pm EDT 04/19/20

Regarding the recent rant (from a musical book writer) that appeared on Facebook and then here, Stritch said the same thing succinctly and humorously in her show Elaine Stritch At Liberty c. 2000, when she said something like, "All the wonderful people in the theatre," and that 'wonderful' was a sarcasm. It summed up the entire rant in a few words and a sly look.

I was at Florence Klotz' Memorial at Sardi's when Stritch came up to the podium and I thought "She only worked with Flossie in "Show Boat" so what does she have to talk about?" Out of her mouth was "There's a lot of things in this business I don't like..." and I thought "Oh, she is going to talk about herself" ( and she did ).
