OMG can we just take this time to appreciate @aurora spiderwoman for all this extremely rare yet beautiful content that we wouldnt get anywhere else on youtube for free. Honestly like ive been searching for a filmed version of Eartha Kitt's Folies Bergre number forever as well other content from shows that i didnt even know were filmed and its legit all here. Truly you are the KZbin Saint for all musical theatre lovers out there. Really apreciate the content and hard work!

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

What a fabulous compliment--thank you!

[@michaeloscars]

@@auroraspiderwoman5886 Very well deserved!

[@olegbb]

I heartily concur. Aurora spider woman may know, but I think all Broadway productions are filmed at some point in their run. I’m not sure when they began doing this, but there was often a camera set-up, for example, at A Chorus Line in the rear orchestra in the 1970s and 80s (I went often.) Recordings exist out there!

Rebecca Luker sounds exquisite on unusual way She really was a marvel

[@gregorywiederecht]

God, they really broke the mold when they made Rebecca Luker. Also, has any woman ever been *more* suited for the Folies Bergeré number than Eartha Kitt? She's having the time of her life!

yes, Lilliane Montevecchi

[@bleiberestestay117]

@@robh2001 Granted, but Eartha Kitt spent part of her early career in France, and had a US hit with "C'est Si Bon."

How lovely to see Marni Nixon as herself and not dubbing Debora Kerr (The King & I) Natalie Wood (West Side Story) or Audrey Hepburn (My Fair Lady) amongst many others. She was known as the Ghostest with the Mostest as she truly was the voice ghost for so many Hollywood ladies who couldn't sing. Thank you Spiderwoman for this great montage. I saw the original show with Raul Julia back in the early 80's and loved it. I wish I had seen this production.

How does someone get to look like Eartha Kitt at 76?

[@wickedwizard5377]

I saw the notification and SCREAMED! I've been wanting to see more of the replacement cast since you posted that clip of Rebecca's Unusual Way, so thank you for this!

[@christopherbush9027]

It’s always been one of my all time favorite shows and the score literally soars! A great surprise on a dreary Sunday afternoon-thank you as always Spiderwoman!!!

[@LloydAntonyLB]

Marni Nixon 😍

[@ellenepstein9588]

Rebecca Luker was phenomenal! Thank you.

[@denis65]

I saw the show 3 times , twice with Antonio and once with John. I surprised by John’s singing.. I spoke to him and eartha at the stage door. Both were lovely

[@tenor2productions]

Mary Stuart Masterson has an amazing voice. Loved seeing Luker, Kitt, and Nixon. ❤

[@guidonapp7590]

I've always been amazed by Mary Stuart Masterson's voice and performance here

[@johnflynn9619]

Stamos is Very Talented & Beautiful Voice. He should do The Music Man. Kitt was a Camp Goddess. RIP

[@Onojohivycyctx]

i luv john's voice its so prettyy

[@christopherscott9763]

i remember one of the reviews likened becca to a young ingrid bergman

[@whitneyryangarrity5265]

I saw the original musical twice in 1982 and 83, once with Raul Julia (perfection) and then with Sergio Franchi (great voice but not really an actor). First musical I had seen where every single musical number stopped the show. It happened again in 1985 with the Follies Concert.

[@MikeyD2787]

Thank you for sharing this!! I saw this cast and I've been searching for clips ever since. (I'm still hoping to find a full-length bootleg somewhere.) This is still one of the greatest shows I've ever seen.

[@estudiorobertoayala]

THANKS!!!

[@gstone8255]

God ! I love Eartha Kitt !

[@jvcurtis]

I was hoping there might be some Jenna Elfman rehearsal footage.

[@bleiberestestay117]

Don't we all?

[@christopherscott9763]

i was so happy for becca i flew from LA to make sure i saw her, and chatted with her a bit, she was someone you worked with once and were entwined forever 💖

[@olegbb]

Thank you for this. A negative….those costumes are in no way an improvement from the brilliant black/white ones in the original production. Is there some explanation? An updating of some sort?

[@foxdawnfox]

Thank you so much. I have been searching for endless hours for clips and or the entire show with the replacement cast 2003 August . Must have seen the show at least 10 times. And a few times with Antonio Banderas. I’m sorry it closed. Thought the show was brilliant.

[@gstone8255]

It’s very nice for Marni Nixon to be a Star herself instead of dubbning other Actors !

[@cynerixplayzroblox828]

What happened to your Company reopening video on your channel. It was up there before and then one day, poof it’s gone.

[@charlesrabb5568]

I saw this production in December. John was out but his understudy was great. It was also nice to see Ertha again. The cast was amazing.
