A parody update as re-opening is in full swing, for better or maybe better not. Let's hope.

 A parody update as re-opening is in full swing, for better or maybe better not.  Let's hope. 

The one-minute opening from the 7-minute Labor Day sequel (coming soon) to our "When I''m Stuck at Home" from May, which is still here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7mTdB7C8fg

 That's Entertainment parody -The world's in a stage, a stage where the money fights containment

A version with some photos is at

And here's the closing number.

 "Your Smiling Face" parody - Whenever I see you touch your face, I have to cry and yell- because I love you, yes I do.

 Also Labor Day today is also my father Nat Landau's 100th birthday and there were fun Broadway friends Bill Parry (who starred in the premiere of our Last Starfighter musical) and Maureen Silliman (who starred in our Actors Temple TRU presentation of Viva Max) there by Skype doing a fun birthday hello.  (Mom and Dad used to get on the Florida bus every year and haul their theater loving cookies to Coconut Grove because Maureen Silliman did a show at Coconut Grove.  Dad recalled Mom got so worried when Maureen was playing Marcia Lewis' part in Rags before Paper Mill that Maureen had put on 50 of more  pounds since she last saw Maureen.  Such relief when Mom saw the padded suit hanging in Maureen's dressing room.  )

 For people who know our family, Sept. 7th  is Nat Landau's 100th birthday.  We've been spreading out the wishes he's been getting over yesterday and today. A year ago, this had been planned for a party at (we hoped) their local Casita, but actually, there were people able to be there virtually who might not have been able to be at a real in-person party had that happened. Bill Parry & Maureen Silliman were at the Miami party today by remote (is it skype or skype-style video?) from NYC.  https://youtu.be/7c8mnxhJn5E

I won't publicly post any of the personal reminiscences online, so many wonderful thoughts from friends and from cousins of four generations, but I'll only post only the musical ones.
