And before that you heard practically perfect from Mary Poppins, also the Broadway cast. And then bless your beautiful hide from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Shall we play a variety of music on this program? Oh yes. It's not just the modern stuff we play with classical stuff as well. I've got a question for you because I've never understood this. What is meant if a performer is a triple threat? A triple threat means that they can dance really well, sing really well

and act really well at a high level. These days you also can have a quadruple threat. Because a lot of shows have, you know, active musicians in them. Yes, yes. So actually the active musicians, you would say they're probably a quadruple threat because they're very good singers. Because you've got to come from a way that's got some of the actors of performance. Of course the classic one is Benjamin Button. I was just going to say that one as well. The girl trying to do the jig with the cello strap to her. Yeah, if you're singing that, it's fantastic. I'm not singing it. Oh, it's such a brilliant show. It really is, yes. Yes. Okay.

Thunder clouds have their lightning, night and gals have their song And don't you see I want my life to be something more than long Rivers belong where they can ramble, eagles belong where they can fly I have got to be where my spirit can run free Got to find my corner of the sky Sorry man, it seemed destined to settle for something small But I won't rest until I know I'll have it all So don't ask where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone And far away you'll hear me singing softly to the bed Rivers belong where they can ramble, eagles belong where they can fly

Well, it was Edna Turnblatt, wasn't it? So it was What's his name? Mer-beer-beer-beer Got the name You got to think of Tony It was Harvey Fierstein He won the 1983 Tony Award for the Best Actor in a Musical For Train Edna Turnblatt in his brain That's it Many performers have been nominated for gender bending roles Can you still say gender bending? I don't know whether that's acceptable now No, why not? We just said it So apologies if we offended Such as Kelly O'Hara and the King and I And Fierstein remains the only one to take home The trophy for leading role in the opposite sex Yeah So there we are I think he would have been brilliant Yeah, I'm sure he would have been I mean, it's a bit of a tall order Cause you got that horrible voice It's a very throaty voice, isn't it? And there's all the dancing And yeah, I mean, it's really a bit hard part And what was the... There's a nice little duet they do, isn't there? Between the young, a husband and her

When you first became mine Whispered the words I will I love to learn And I love you Still, the violence could lay your life Have I known my life? To the companion of my soul I won't learn from you I learn from still Thoughts would change us Still, long ways to go That the promise we made

Let us as one and When I love you And I love you Still, the lyrical challenge on Grace Payne's Stage Lights Well, we've been having such a fun time this week We didn't look at the clock We've got to go It's one of those things I'm Art Bill Smith And I'm Julia Rufy And the answer to this week's lyrical challenge It is nice work if you can get it from the show of the same name The man who only lives for making money Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny Likewise, the man who works for fame There's no guarantee That time won't erase his name

The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment Is the kind that is for girl and boy men All in love, you won't regret it That's the best work of all If you can get it Hey, hey, somebody will have to work for a living, alright? Holding hands at midnight Near the starry sky Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try Strolling with the one girl Sighing sigh after sigh Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try Just imagine someone Waiting at the cottage door Where too hard to become one Who could ask for anything more

Loving one who loves you And then taking that vow Nice work if you can get it And if you get it Will you tell me how? Alright, alright, that's all swell You got to take a hike Come on, never you mind? Dance with me I don't know nothing about no dancing I need it a while, just not all at all Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try Nice work if you can get it And then taking it

And then taking that vow And then taking that vow Loving one who loves you, and then taking that vow. It's a nice work if you can get it, and if you get it, won't you tell me how? We try our best to check all songs to make sure they are profanity free, but should we miss one, then please accept our deepest apologies. No one involved in Grease Painting Stagelight is out to offend or knowingly play these songs. Thank you.
