Movies and musicals which imprinted on my brain as a kid and have influenced me ever since:

• The Importance of Being Earnest

• The Pirates of Penzance

• Singing in the Rain

• The Wizard of Oz

• The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking (the 1988 movie)

• The Birdcage (1996 version)

• To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar

• The Producers (any and all versions)

I’m probably forgetting some…
