Am honored that I saw this show back in 1989 (second row seats $50!). Unbelievable beautifully, visually STUNNING and all players SUPERB! Robert Altman directed a filmed version that was shown on PBS.

I saw this on PBS in 1993, and I've been searching for it ever since. I fell in love with the vaudville style performances and especially Linda Hopkins. I actually ran into her twice in the same month in 1998! As a writer, I hope to honor these fantastic performers one day by creating a work that helps younger audiences (you know the twerkers and krumpers) to appreciate the roots of their music and dance.

@@yellowlight2563 Of course. :) In fact, in June of 22', the non-profit I work with produced a show that highlighted the history of The Cotton Club and The Savoy in 1920's Harlem. Our youngest actor was 15, and the cast had a blast portraying historical greats. So yes, progress.

This was just good solid entertainment right here from ... well I see 3 talents on that stage but wouldn't be surprised if there's more backstage somewhere. Feel like this is the kind of performance to show folks looking to get into acting and/or singing and/or theater because we see TWO different styles to one song. Both impressive, both different, it would help to drive a point to newcomers that there just isn't ONE WAY to do something.

She's still with us, but not living in California anymore. I hear she's happy, though. It's been a few years now since a stroke ended her ability to perform, but it didn't end her zest for life.

A couple of strokes have left her unable to perform, although she is still aware of everything. She's living somewhere out of California now, in a care facility. Not sure which state, but I'm told she's happy.

Oh yeah.....i was there in New York, i thin it was at the Minskoff Theatre 1991. Linda is not only an outstanding performer with an amazing voice, she is also one of the most symathic persons i have ever met. We became friends, after a concert at the Jazz Festival in Bern. We met a few times and i still remember when i went shopping with Linda in Bern. After shopping, we had a few drinks together - Linda allmost missed her performance that night:)
