"In early February, Adam Lambert made waves after he stopped mid-show to admonish audience members who laughed inappropriately during a performance of “#Cabaret” on #Broadway. Lambert explained his position during a Monday interview on “The View,” arguing that the themes of #antisemitism within the classic #musical are nothing to laugh at today."

A conversation earlier today one of my great aunts came to mind and I was reminded of this 1975 letter I have from her to my grandmother (her sister). My "broad-minded" great aunt was almost 70 and this was 50 years ago next month...

When I scanned this letter a couple of years ago I didn't know anything about the play she had seen. So see second image if you are likewise clueless.

Part of a handwritten letter on the left on the right my transcription which follows: I went to a dinner theatre party Friday night in Montgomery. Alice Dunbar Moseley and her husband celebrated their 30th anniversary at the dinner. Real good served with wine and the play from Broadway was hilarious for the broad-minded. "Norman is That You" was the name. Some narrow-minded nitwit left at intermission and seemed embarrassed to be seeing it. Feb 10, 1975
Norman, Is That You? A Comedy By Sam Bobrick & Ron Clark Two Acts One Set – A New York loft apartment 5 Characters – 3 men, 2 women A father, whose wife of thirty years has left him, comes to New York to seek solace from his son and discovers his son is gay. After a disastrous attempt to straighten his son out, the father eventually finds himself living with his son's boyfriend and eventually becoming enlightened to the ways of the world. The appearance of his runaway wife adds further hilarity to the situation. The play has recently been updated to keep up with the times. Characters NORMAN CHAMBERS – A young man in his mid-twenties GARSON HOBART – Norman's boyfriend, also in his mid-twenties BEN CHAMBERS – Norman's father, a man in his early fifties MARY – A very understanding hooker in her mid-twenties BEATRICE CHAMBERS – Ben's wife in her late forties NORMAN, IS THAT YOU? Opened on Broadway in February, 1970. It was directed by the legendary George Abbott and starred Lou Jacobi and Maureen Stapleton. The play ran for five years in Paris (where it is called PAUVRE FRANCE) and has been produced in 26 countries.

“When we first performed it . . . audiences gasped and recoiled,” Grey wrote. “It was too offensive, too raw, too cruel. I’m hearing from friends in the current #Broadway production of ‘#Cabaret’ that the line is once again getting an audible response, but of a different sort.”

He claimed “on more than one occasion in the past two weeks” a small number of audience members “have squealed with laughter at ‘She wouldn’t look #Jewish at all.’ ”

He added, “In the late 1960s . . . the truth was too hard to hear. Today, it seems the line is playing exactly as the #Nazi-sympathizing Emcee would have intended.” :blobcatknife:

The image depicts a vintage postcard titled "Broadway and The City Hall, 1820." It portrays an urban scene with several figures walking on a street lined by trees and lampposts. A horse-drawn carriage is in motion at the center-left of the composition. To its right are large buildings that resemble early city structures or possibly governmental edifices. The foreground shows people engaged in various activities, such as standing near each other and others strolling along the sidewalk. There's a sense of daily life with individuals dressed in period attire suggesting 19th-century fashion. Atop the postcard is printed text providing context: "Broadway and The City Hall, 1820" followed by credits for an aquatint artist named Akrell, based on Klinkowström's drawing. Additional information indicates that this print room belongs to The New York Public Library, part of a collection labeled as the Eno Collection. The overall tone is sepia-toned, typical of older printed materials, and there are visible signs of wear or aging at its borders, adding authenticity to its historical representation.

"But this is what Elphie is all about. She enters the story with great hope and then finds out that she’s never going to be that girl. At the end, she rises up and finds her purpose. That essentially parallels my journey with this incredible piece."
