Tomorrow is the 70th anniversary of 'I Love Lucy'. Here is 623 East 68th Street, Apt 3D and the Beverly Palms Hotel, Suite 315 as brought to life by the Lucy-Desi Museum in Jamestown, NY. Since my last visit in 2019, I hear that the museum has opened up these exhibits for photo ops–for an additional fee. I'll have to wait until my next visit to get a photo sitting on those sofas. Who wants to join me in 2022? #lucyanddesi #ilovelucy #ilovelucyscenes #truecolor #whatitreallylookslike #desilu #museum #jamestownny #happyanniversary #70thanniversary #happy70th #photoopportunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CVA97E0FZDJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

This week marks the 70th anniversary of 'I Love Lucy'. In 2013 I had the pleasure of seeing 'I Love Lucy Live On Stage' at the Broadway Playhouse in Chicago. The premise involved the re-creation of the taping of two 'I Love Lucy' episodes: 'Lucy Gets Her Eyes Examined' and 'The Benefit'. First photo, pictured left to right as our favorite foursome in this production are Curtis Pettyjohn (Fred), Joanna Daniels (Ethel), Sirena Irwin (Lucy) and Bill Mendieta (Ricky). Honestly, I went into this show with critical skepticism, but it took me only a few minutes to suspend my disbelief and relax in my 3rd row center seat as this troupe put on a wonderful performance. It was clear to me that this production was not intended to mimic 'I Love Lucy', but rather give the audience an interactive homage that celebrated this groundbreaking sitcom. I will remain forever grateful for this experience because it is the closest I will ever come to being at an actual taping of the most popular show in television history. Did you happen to see this production on tour?

"For the scene where she has to appear purple from the grapes, we used a water based lilac coloring. Lucille's skin was very sensitive, and I was concerned about what to use on her hair because we were already perming and coloring it." —Irma Kusely #lucilleball #ilovelucyscenes #italy #grapestomping #lilac #incolor #sensitiveskin #behindthescenes #ontheset #italianmovie #purple https://www.instagram.com/p/CCoKJFxnhoQ/?igshid=1akqar2s4qhek
