So excited for this!!!
Listened to the Purlie (1970) original cast album for the first time in at least forty years, brought to mind because a mutual was asking for songs with animal imagery and social justice themes. But thatâs not what this song from that show is, this is your I-donât-know-who-needs-to-hear-this for today.
Besides (obviously) Newsies making a comeback, what other old musicals would you want to see come back to Broadway or done live on TV like they did with Grease & Hairspray? Thankyou:)
I like this question. Well, so many. But here's my quick list:
1. The Wiz (I was obsessed with the original Broadway cast recording. Loved it more than the movie version. âEase on Down the Roadâ is everything. Stephanie Mills rocks!)
2. Fiorello! (This oneâs an oldie, but a goodie. âLittle Tin Boxâ is a certified wise-guy bop)
3. The Fantasticks (Another oldie. Probably one of my dadâs favorites, and I know heâd want to see it come back. âNever Say Noâ is relatable for most parents)
4. Purlie (This and Chicago were among my favorite showtunes growing up. âWalk Him Up the Stairsâ makes me get up and groove along to this day)
5. Funny Girl (Biased because half the women in my family have been in this one)
6. Hair (Something about âAquariusâ & âLet the Sunshine Inâ that takes you to the counter-culture time period)
7. The Pirates of Penzance (If they updated it, I think it would be a hit. G&Bâs witty lyrics, the athletic choreography & great casting, and the catchy tunes would do most of the work. Plus, himbo pirates v. old-timey English constables seems funny)

Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis star in the Broadway play, written by Davis âPurlie Victoriousâ (1961)
âHe started it as a serious piece. Then he started to laugh, to see that there was something about racism that was maddeningly funny and stupid. He saw there was this kinship between the people of the shtetl and the people of the ghettos of the world, the capacity to take something dreadful and show the ridiculousness of prejudice and feelings of superiority, as did Sholom Aleichem. Heâs full of this kind of devilish fun, He doesnât wag his finger, he throws back his head and laughs.â - Ruby Dee
Melba Moore with killer vocals in what looks to be a pro-shoot of Purlie. Moore would eventually go on to be the first black Fantine in Les Miserables
Earley Dean Wilson as the title character and Gia McGlone as Lutiebelle in "Purlie". Â
