Dame Maggie earned that Tony Award, she had a wonderfully natural comic timing, that would take most actors decades to learn to keep fresh and her passing makes it almost bittersweet but a lovely tribute none the less.

Oh, how I wish I could have seen this! The 2 great Maggies, Smith and Tyzack. I did, gratefully, get to see Maggie Smith on Broadway in Tom Stoppard's "Night and Day," in which she did a 'nude scene'--sort of. Not really. But they had us going for a moment. I vividly remember the stupefied hush that fell over the audience.

Had to return to see the show the times, as Maggie Smith was off ill and Geraldine McEwan played her part in her absence. She was back on by the third attempt, but I was very glad I got to see them both, as they were very two different performances.

I love Ute Lemper, she is so a good singer. I hear her first in the german synchro version of Disneys "Arielle" and was surprised how wonderful she sings, the hole synchro was perfect. Years later Disney makes a new unnecessary, terrible synchro.🤷♀️

She (Cyndy Lauper) was one of the two reason to see this production. The other being Jim Dale. There were no other reasons. I'd never seen so many audience members leave during an intermission in my life. Which was a shame as the 2nd act was better than the first.

Saw the revival today on Broadway with Sutton Foster. FANTASTIC!!!! A bit of updating to the makeup of the cast but it’s 2024 , Not 1959. I love living in the NY area. Love good broadway musicals.

I remember watching this with my parents back then. We taped it with our VCR. Later my Dad and I saw the show in Toronto, (the Elgin Theatre if I remember correctly.). There was an understudy for Joseph that day though. I bought the London cast CD afterwords since the Canadian cast CD was not available then, but I got it as well when it became available.

I saw the original production 3 times with Chita- still have the souvenir brochure etc- and finally saw it at the end of the Shaftesbury run with Bebe. At the time, she was largely unknown in the UK. I remember the atmosphere in the theatre being quite flat but she danced the hell out of her numbers and delivered the comedy of the Russian sequence even better than Chita! The show had lost its "stars" though" and it was clear its days were numbered. Still one of the best things I've ever seen.
