JoeySanJoaquin Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Doubt it....they're too classy for that! Now as for Mrs. Garrett.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm going! I go every year and this is a great cast. JoAnn Worley hasn't done it before (at least the shows I've seen). didn't realize our own impressionist Jim Bailey was going to be there. And Joey: Mrs. Marty Ingels has had so much plastic surgery she looks VERY odd in the picture. But who is that shorter white haired woman with her?

vivfantoo* Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Wow, lots of famous folks on the cast list. Sure to be a fun evening, & for a very good cause. Too bad I'm a long plane ride away. Maybe Neil can give us some highlights of the evening the day after (& Joey, too, if he goes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeySanJoaquin Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 You're sure grouchy this morning, Mrs. Ingels! Like I'm serious....I'm really looking forward to this as 1) it's for a great cause, 2) we get to see favorite folk, old and new who rarely get an opportunity to "strut their stuff" anymore to do so before an adoring audience and 3) it brings far away friends like NW out to LA to "hob nob with the stars"!
