Eartha Kitt at Westport Playhouse--Complete Show, 1978

Eartha Kitt performs a complete 90-minute show in this 1978 performance taped at the Westport Country Playhouse during her Broadway run in "Timbuktu!" She opens with her special lyric to "I'm Still Here".

Truly fabulous. I was lucky to see her live many times. Always astounding.

Eartha Kitt still iconic.

[@howardharlib9806]

I can only say nice things about Eartha Kitt I was fortunate enough to book her for a show years back in Miami Florida and she'll be the music icon movie actress forever and more

[@SuperKchannel]

[@TONEBHURT]

WoW! What a joyous treat❤

The incomparable Miss Eartha Kitt in full flight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@billbufford]

First of all, I know this isn't exactly the "cup of tea" for a lot of my FB friends. It's a 1 1/2 hour one-woman concert from 1978 by the late great Eartha Kitt who, in my opinion, was one of the all-time greatest talents ever. So, for those of my friends who agree with my assessment, please enjoy this as I have.. For those who do not, by all means, feel free to just scroll on by. 🙂. 😉😊 Many thanks to Alan Eichler for this and many other treasures!

The recently published EARTHA & KITT: A Daughter's Memoir in Black & White by Kitt Shapiro provides many details about this fascinating performer's life, especially during her final years. Highly recommended!

[@Tecobelli]

Just bought the book. Thanks!

[@silentshine2365]

@@Tecobelli Miss Kitt also wrote 3 autobiographies: THURSDAY'S CHILD (1956), ALONE WITH ME (1975), & I'M STILL HERE: CONFESSIONS OF A SEX KITTEN (1989). The 1st book ends with the opening of MRS. PATTERSON on Broadway, the 2nd includes The White House luncheon with Lady Bird Johnson & its aftermath, the 3rd offers a summation of her life, loves, & career to that date. The 1st book especially captures her unique upbringing & adventurous spirit.

I once asked Stephen Sondheim if he ever wrote, or heard, alternate lyrics to "I'm Still Here" that would allow it to be sung by a man. He got a little testy and answered, "no, and if you try to write them, I will sue you just like I did Eartha Kitt." I'm guessing he would not have loved this clip, but I'm (still) here for it.

[@aeichler]

He didn't actually sue her, but he sent a letter threatening to. She switched back to the real lyric and later played Carlotta in London and Berlin.

[@ericholck3914]

@@aeichler Interesting! Thanks for setting the record straight. (I guess we'll have to forgive his taking a little creative liberty in the interests of scaring me away from butchering his song!)

[@kentbrintnall874]

I’m a huge Sondheim fan, but that’s a dick move. This is an *amazing* version of that song. Eartha Kitt went. through. it. and survived. Not everyone who sang that song did.

[@ericholck3914]

@@kentbrintnall874 No doubt about it, Sondheim had a pretty giant ego. And that probably made him a little over protective of his work. I was a little surprised of the tone of the letter I got, and how he mentioned Eartha Kitt specifically. Clearly, he took the issue of people tweaking his lyrics very seriously!

I ADORE Eartha! This was wonderful to watch. Are you sure the year is correct? Her appearance looks more like 1990-ish.

[@tylerlately]

3:59 lol what does she say. 46:16 that's a beautiful line. 1:01:00 She's unique because most performers don't include humor in their act. She was the best
