People, people, people. I’m giving you chance after chance to work in some musicals (Stubby Kaye – _Guys and Dolls_; John C. Reilly – _Chicago_), but will you do it? No! Sheesh! :rolleyes: Sigh. Spencer Tracy. ---

**Twickster** , I really considered using Chicago for Reilly, but I just couldn’t do it. I was afraid someone would go with Queen Latifah. > [@supervenusfreak](#): > > Hmmm . Let’s go with “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner” . Sidney Poitier ---

Some day let’s do an all-musicals version of this, okay? **Maureen** and I would enjoy that, if no one else would. (Where _is_ **Maureen** , btw? I’d expect her to be all over this game like white on rice.) Speaking of Rod Steiger in the '60s – _No Way to Treat a Lady_ ---
