Now this is a long way from Martinez, California.

It's even farther from Tipperary

The Bay Front Center in St Pete

is sadly long gone

Barbara's costume & Anna May's blanket

are on permanent display in the Ringling

Circus Museum in Sarasota as was shown

here just 2 days ago

I think it might have been Chico

in Buckles Brigade that referred to

this Spec as Sodomy on the High Seas

(otherwise known as King Neptune)

Didn't Tito Gaona play King Neptune?

Chic Silber said...


Yes indeed Roger

3 of the 8 bubble machines

that I designed & built for

this production have been

blowing bubbles at the top

of the musical "Wicked" for

more than 16 years until the

12th of March at the Gershwin

Theater on Broadway & I hope

will continue at some date

They have certainly earned

their keep since 1978

We still blend the solution

by hand in our shop with

an ancient formula given

to me from a Prop Master

long after he retired
