"My family owned a flower shop. We would sell roses, carnations, baby's breath, you name it. One day, I'm making about three dozen corsages for this prom, you know, the one they put on the wrist, and everybody, they come. "When is it?", "Where is it?", "Does it match my dress?" It's a nightmare. Anyway, I guess there was this leak next door of gas or what. BOOM! No more Chinese laundry. Blew me right through the front window. It was like a sign from God. I found myself that boom."
-Vincenzo Santorini, voiced by Don Novello in Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001 film)

This is a rare event in which I love the broadcast channels. My mom and I are watching the Public Broadcast Channel, where on Sundays the station shows a classic movie. Today, it decided to show Hello, Dolly!

Praise be to Jesus--I love that musical.

Barbra Streisand makes such a wonderful fast-talking lady. I shake her hand vigorously.
And for the fun of it, I sort of made my own cast for it. I decided this just now.

* Lillian .... Dolly Levi
* Braig .... Horace Vandergelder
* Cornelius aka "Corky" .... Cornelius Hackl
* Winnifred aka "Win" .... Irene Molloy
* Tori .... Barnaby Tucker
* Mizu .... Minnie Fay
* Xen .... Ermengarde Vandergelder
* TBA .... Ambrose Kemper
* Ameli .... Gussie Granger/Ernestina Simple
* TBA .... Rudolph Reisenweber

I'm not sure who should play Ambrose--he gets Ermengarde. Volunteers?
