1965: Rodgers-Guettel Christmas Party. In her book Shy, Mary Rodgers calls these parties an "aristocracy of talent."

I don’t know what the hell he thought I was doing there. Even though he was 30, I don’t think Steve had the foggiest idea what people who love each other did. Which begs the question: Did we love each other? Can one beg an answer? He wasn’t in love with me, certainly, and I wasn’t really physically attracted to him. I just loved him, thoroughly enough for nothing else to matter. Do you not believe in that? Have you never seen Carousel ?

There has to be an implicit morality to counter the freedom of imagination you're championing. You have to let kids know you can't get something for nothing.

Just finished this incredible memoir of composer, author Mary Rodgers (Once Upon a Mattress, Freaky Friday). Mary Rodgers knew just about everyone associated with American musical theater. Her stories are deliciously candid, full of humor, self deprecating, and often poignantly intimate.

*BONUS* - the audiobook is narrated by the inimitable Christine Baranski! ✨💗

Christine Baranski's narration is impeccable in timing, intelligent, and full of energy. She is performing a one-woman show - 15 hours worth! She superbly channels Mary Rodgers minus impersonation. It's Christine Baranski's voice expertly delivering the tone and cadence of Mary Rodgers; the quick reparteé, the irreverent retorts, and the ever present irony. Fabulous stuff!

Highly recommend. 👏🏼✨
