VIDEO OF THE DAY

Added 2024-02-04 01:35:19 +0000 UTC

I’ve been trying to upload a pretty special Sondheim video but mega keeps giving me issues making the link sharable. I’m trying to reupload it but wanted to share something very very very rare instead as I didn’t want to leave you all empty handed this evening.

This heavily falls under DO NOT SHARE! This has to stay here or I can’t share more rare things.

This is a house cam of what is probably the final professional job Faye Dunaway will ever get.

This is TEA AT FIVE at Huntington Theatre in Boston where Faye played Katharine Hepburn in a one woman show that was hopes to go to Broadway.

The show did not make it to Broadway because Faye was fired for creating a “dangerous” and “hostile” environment. Faye not only verbally berated crew members but also physically assaulted them. It was a sad was for a legend like Dunaway to go out but there have been creditable allegations against Faye for years which was why her career was on life support when Tea At Five came along.

The New York Post has great write up about the backstage train wreck of the production
