I went to a "gay wedding" this morning. Before too long, we can quit making the distinction. But for now, it is new enough that we can savor the words as they trip off the tongue. Adrian and Ted. We met at their home at 11AM and they had the ceremony bang on time. Then a small reception. Nice appetizers and some champagne for those who do that sort of thing. It was very nice.

I got home in time to see one of the best Fosse musicals. The Pajama Game (1957). This one almost straight off the stage except that Doris Day is the female lead. All the rest are from the show. John Raitt, Eddy Foy Jr., Carol Haney and the others. A pajama factory has a labor crisis. The workers want 71/2 cents raise. The foreman and the grievance committee head fall in love. Fun. A lot of musical numbers and everything is wonderful in this one. Songs, dance, plot and the story rip along full blast. A 5 out of Netflix5. Fosse's dances are exuberantly presented and everyone has a good time.
