I wish Monty Python was still around to perform it. I've played Maria Theresa and she was the only woman with My hair color-blonde. I was thrilled to Not have to wear a wig! What an inspiring guy, that Frederick. He ranks right up there with General Winder before the Battle of Bladensburg who inspired the outnumbered, inexperienced American boys by telling them the best road to run away on. Huzzah!
