Brian Kellow, a local Tillamookian, who now writes books and lives in New York City, has written a book entitled Ethel Merman: A Life. She was the queen of Musical Theater. She's known for her roles in Annie Get Your Gun, Anything Goes (last year's musical at THS), Hello Dolly and Gypsy - to name a few.
Brian will be discussing his new book about Ethel and will be available for book signings. He also has a clip of Ethel singing "There's No Business Like Show Business".
He'll be at the Tillamook Library this Saturday, August 2nd at Noon.
I love musical theater and plan on being there. If you'd like to learn more about the history of musical theater. . . and . . . Ethel Merman . . . you should go.
