Emily G. Furlich @emdashfurlich.bsky.social · 30/07/2025I went to the Shubert Archive on Monday for research and my favorite discovery was a collection of stage manager reports from almost the entire run of Passion. For an evening performance with a particularly high number of mishaps, the SM began with, “Rough night in Parma.” 000

Emily G. Furlich @emdashfurlich.bsky.social · 09/06/2025She remembers this being when it the dance was invented, but a cursory internet search reveals that 1961 is actually when the dance peaked in popularity. 000
Emily G. Furlich @emdashfurlich.bsky.social · 09/06/2025Because I like to remind everyone how old Bernadette Peters actually is, here she is remembering where she was when she learned about the dance phenomenon of the twist. (Chicago, during the second national tour of Gypsy.) 100
Emily G. Furlich @emdashfurlich.bsky.social · 05/06/2025In 1969, Bernadette Peters was spending the 2025 equivalent of $2,162.66 a month on taxi rides between Queens and Manhattan to perform in Dames at Sea. 130

Emily G. Furlich @emdashfurlich.bsky.social · 27/03/2025One of the many things I loved about the production was seeing “Susan’s Dream” in context for the first time, which I first fell in love with from listening to @bebeneuwirth.bsky.social’s Live at 54 Below album… 💓 020

Emily G. Furlich @emdashfurlich.bsky.social · 11/03/2025I was right. Ethel Merman collapsed in her home on April 7, four days before the ceremony. Shortly thereafter she underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor. 000

Emily G. Furlich @emdashfurlich.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Apparently Bluesky just updated today to allow videos up to 3 minutes long so I can post the full song, which was part of a tribute to Irving Berlin she performed with Peter Allen. 110
Emily G. Furlich @emdashfurlich.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Kate Baldwin’s medley of What’ll I Do and Time Heals Everything was a beautiful tribute to Bernadette Peters, not just because she originated the latter song in Mack & Mabel, but also because the former was a torch song she sang often earlier in her career, including at the 1982 Oscars ceremony. 130
Emily G. Furlich @emdashfurlich.bsky.social · 11/03/2025@bebeneuwirth.bsky.social It was a pleasure to listen to you & the ladies of A Chorus Line pay tribute to the dancers who inspired you tonight. I loved what you said about dance’s ephemerality and the importance of preserving it by teaching that embodied knowledge to future generations of dancers. 160
