The Merry Widow

[Firiffic]

Years ago I was a Grisette in the Merry Widow and now for the life of me I can't remember all their names.  This is what I remember:  Mimi, Fifi, Gou Gou, Frou Frou, ??, Margot.  The funny thing is I think I was the one I can't remember at all!  Help, it's keeping me up at nights!

The Grissettes were ....
Lolo..Dodo..Jou Jou...Frou Frou....Clo Clo and Margot.
This is all I can remember!!

Doesn't the last Grisette just say "et moi" and never give her name?(because I think she is the Ambassadors Wife) I saw The Merry Widow some years ago,at the Volksoper in Vienna;and this is how the Grisettes went!

I think that's the lot, shaneystar (and Firiffic)

[netibiza]

Yes she says" and me" which as mystress says is et moi (except I couldn't spell it)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  I was, I think, Clo Clo.  We definitely sang Margot.  It was the only name I could remember for sure along with Frou Frou.  It was a bit before we did our can can as I recall.  I had to run down a set of stairs and straight into a cartwheel across the front of the stage!  Oh, those were the days.  I miss being about to dance like that and I'm only 35!
