| I was a young teen when Merman came to Detroit. I wanted desperately to see her in Gypsy (I had memorized the album). But my parents, by no means prudes, thought the show would be too "adult" for me. Then they bought tickets ad came home declaring that there was nothing offensive in the show for a kid. By then of course, the show was sold out, and I've never quite forgiven them for denying me my first Merman experience. :) |
