I love how you can see exactly how much they’re loving this, they’re clearly having a blast

[@brianeduardo1234]

It works very well with the two guys

[@bcefa]

+Brian Eduardo We agree! Thanks Brian!

[@mzmiller52]

There’s a video of this done by 2 amateurs, probably in a high school talent show. It is so unpolished and one guy is adorable it just brings you smiles and joy.

This probably just added about 10 years to my life.

[@dianedo1234]

Yes !!!! Ten years !!

[@Airahar]

Two more years and you're out.

[@bernardachour614]

By far the most faithful, energetic, merry and sexy tribute to Fosse's genius I've ever seen.

[@krpbdp]

Tony Yazbeck is my favorite Broadway leading man and should be far better known by the general public!

[@handsomeX]

Totally agree. One of the best tenors in the business.

[@MrReeseRideout]

This is incredible. And Michael doing a cartwheel at 50-amazing. Something about this is so engaging.

[@Alanb1980]

Never saw this performed by two guys before. Loved it!!!

[@bcefa]

+Alan Brewer Thanks so much for watching, Alan. Glad you liked it!

[@kathleendufault7071]

I always find myself smiling whenever I watch anyone do this number but these guys are exceptional. I watch it every day.

[@bcefa]

Thanks for your support, Kathy!

[@kathleendufault7071]

I have supported Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids in my own small way, since the formation of the organization. I still have a beautiful glass ornament with the red ribbon in it that I bought years ago.

[@Alanb1980]

It makes me wish I had been there to see it in person. It also makes me wish I were a Broadway actor so that I could learn that choreography and perform that number on a stage in front of an audience.

[@bcefa]

+Alan Brewer Come to Broadway Backwards in March, Alan!

[@dianedo1234]

There are such things as "Christmas Miracles" !! If one can learn Bob Fosse choreography, do it! I wish I had been there too. If you are still in NYC, see it all, if you can afford it. Broadway, so many dreams. So much talent! Ethel Merman, Mary Martin, Hal Lindon (just popped in my brain) ALL walked ALL of those boards!

[@mikegarcia7986]

I can do The Hot Honey Rag! let’s go!

[@dianaaljadeff2983]

I agree Tony Yasbeck is the 2000 Tommy Rall a tenor and a dancer

[@handsomeX]

​@@dianaaljadeff2983Facts. Tony is an incredible performer. I first saw him as Al in A Chorus Line.

[@lmsteller9736]

Testosterone Fosse - and I’m here for it!!! Tony & Michael EXTRAORDINARY & BRILLIANT BOTH!!!! ❤

[@McFlyandJoBroLover]

I have rewatched this an unhealthy amount of times

[@jln530]

It's unhealthy the amount of times I've watched this😂 I love how while they're both having a blast, Mike is especially having WAY too much fun. Bravo, bravo🍯🍯🍯🕺🕺🕺

[@andrewgonzales1587]

I keep coming back to this video!! I love these guys 😍😍

[@theverdantfern]

This is so fun, probably one of my new favorite performances of Nowadays! Also, Michael Berresse looks like a combo of Nathan Lane & Raul Esparza & I think I adore him.

[@nicholasdomitraschuk1689]

Still pretty Freaking AWESOME. Love the Dancing at the End.

[@da96103]

1:13 Beresse sang Mike instead of Ike. 2:24 He acknowledged his mistake with a head tilt and chuckle. Of course maybe he wants to mess around with BOTH Mike and Ike.

[@cursedbeyondbelief8383]

da96103 the head tilt and chuckle was in the movie and I think he said Mike because mike is short for Michael

[@phillycinephile8282]

I’d mess around with Mike and Tony!

[@greggbaxter951]

Two of Broadway's greatest and finest. Berresse I remember seeing in Damn Yankees some years ago,Chicago and Kiss Me Kate and always standing out like the star he is and Yazbeck is simply sublime in every department. See him in On The Town where he dazzles with his singing and dancing.

[@tenorbear60]

Gregg Baxter I saw Yazbeck in December in On The Town. His singing was as amazing as his dancing; truly a beautiful voice. Love this duet, they don't push the Fosse style and are so relaxed and elegant.

[@bcefa]

Christopher Gambol Tony Yazbeck is an incredible leading man - thanks for watching!

[@mikegehre570]

They did it more than justice with class, style, dance moves and handsome as hell....you go, guys!

[@isabelbarrientos9168]

I love this video, it gives me a lot of joy and I can watch it over and over and over again.

One of the best things I have ever seen.

[@Cry_Havoc]

I love this so much! It brightens my day hundredfold every time I watch it. Michael Berresse and Tony Yazbeck are like Astaire and Kelly - very different styles, but both utterly hypnotic.

[@warrenfrankenberger4687]

Les Miz is by far one of my favorite musicals, and this made me cry ❤

Best broadway video I've ever seen! I love both of these guys, great singers and great dancers. They don't miss a beat at all throughout the song or dance. Great job!! I think Mike noticed the top of his bowler hat was smushed down but didn't care to fix it. Other than that, great video.
