And get this for a fun fact! Baby Bob Mackie!!
7 Jun 2024
Fun fact: the twin suits and Judy’s “Liza” gown were some of Bob Mackie’s earliest designs. His first job on TV was as a costume assistant on Judy’s show, where his work would be worn onscreen for the first time— launching his historic career designing for Carol Burnett and Cher.

This has brought me so much joy to watch this evening!
7 Jun 2024
Cannot stress enough how mindbogglingly insane it is that Liza started her career like THIS and then was able to carve out a career so iconic in her own right that most people nowadays don’t even know that she and Judy are even related, let alone the loves of each other’s lives.

Just leaving this here because this level of debate feels quite absent from the British theatre mainstream. That’s not to say I agree with everything Louis writes, but that it’s refreshing to be able to have a debate of ideas rather than one of truths

It is pretty hard to post this - I have not done so before although I kept it. But it needs to be posted because Susan Hall is the @Conservatives candidate for Mayor of London and people need to know what she is.

Freelancers do not get laid off or made redundant, instead they simply cease to get work.
