Ok...the three kates are not sisters...watch the opening, they introduce themseleves to each other. And when I was in this for a high school production, in the research i did I found nothing that said anything about the Kates being sistesr in real life or the show.

[robbertstoop]

@fantasmicfreak1 the thrtee kates are three girls accidentally named kate

[fantasmicfreak1]

[pinkday4]

[PJGProductons]

I've just noticed that they have used Kate McGowen. Murphy and Mullins and Jim Farrell as Caroline Brown, Malvina Cornell, Charlotte Appleton (Three sisters returning to America after the funeral of their 4th sister. And Jim is Colonol Archibald Gracie.

[evkeys]

wait! so the three kate's are sisters in real life and they had another sister who died??

[MusicalsMakeMyWorldS]

The three Kates were real but hardly any information is found on them. But the roles they are playing in this song are three sisters who are on the titanic returning home after the funeral of their fourth sister. All three survived just about. 1 of them Caroline Brown sacraficed her place for a sick elderly man, but he refused to move and made her take his place. The three sisters were seperated and only 2 reunited on the carpathia the third returned a few years later.

[eyeswithpride212]

@PJGProductons yep - the original cast was very small, and pretty much EVERYONE doubled (at LEAST doubled) parts.

[TagaSeguchi]

Alice has sort of a Lucille Ball quality to her

[PJGProductons]

I always thought she was like Hyasynth Bucket from Keeping up Appearences. Haha.

[TagaSeguchi]

That too but especially during 'The Latest Rag' she had a Lucy look to everything. I was waiting for Ricky to come out and say "Lucy!"

[PJGProductons]

Haha. But i got the impression of Hyasynth as shes like really "got to be a better class than i am", knows all her famous people,. and has a husband everyone feels sorry for haha

[PJGProductons]

I also think the last dance she does when she is going all OTT, is like my sis. Ha

[Megfly]

Oh I love seeing this so close up! Fabulous. By any chance do you have clips of "Lady's Maid"? I love Jennifer Piech's performance inthat song :)

[PJGProductons]

Urm yeah, but it isn't as oseup it is littrally filmed from really far back, you can see the whole stage but notclea faces.t's prt of the press reels but i don't get where it comes from.

[Megfly]

That's no problem :) I'd love to see any version that exists.

[NYCBlonde]

Thanks for uploading this. Do you have the end of Act I? (Absolutely love that long sequence leading into "Iceberg--right ahead!")

[PJGProductons]

So are you wanting it from "No Moon - End of Act ?

[NYCBlonde]

Yes, if you have it.

An amazing piece of music, I find the way it builds tension, with its use of recitative (esp. with the Strausses and the officers) and the way it organically crescendos by adding the "thousand voices," absolutely riveting.

[PJGProductons]

Well going off the press reels one it doesn't look like it's the whole thing. Is that okay. Well i'll post it and you can see.
