A rare performance of Judy Kaye who replaces Madeline Kahn a couple of months after the opening of "On the Twentieth Century".

After loving the original cast album for so many years, it is great to see the performers. LOVE the line 'there's a fiery pit for ladies and a fiery pit for gents'. God bless Comden and Green!!

I saw it 7 times in 78-79. Couldn't get enough. I was at the last show. Cullum had no voice left. Totally hoarse but I loved every minute of it.

She was funny that's for sure - but a nightmare to work with.

@@jochenstossberg5427: You know that for a fact? You worked with Madeline Kahn? You know what problems there were with the director, book writers, lyricists and composer? Why are you so desperate to post on KZbin that trash someone without presenting her side. I honestly doubt she was a “nightmare” to work with but likely issues (onstage time, no dressing room to make quick changes, the pace of the show, her concerns not being heard) that forced her to leave. It was a brilliant show, well cast, composed/written and directed but lost the Tony for Best Musical to that high school production of AIN’T MISBEHAVING, the Fat’s Waller revue with the annoying Nell Carter. Gimme a break, OTTC was robbed and Madeline Kahn a dream. You are an a**!!

You can't compare the two. If this show as was back on Broadway today there would be no audience for it. There wasn't much of a one when it was first on. You either loved this campy parody of operetta or you didn't. Most people didn't. Second time around with Kristen Chenoweth it was the same. A stampede to the exits. I hate this show with a passion.

Due to Equity (the stage actors union) rules they could not perform in costume. Saw Judy when she was still Madeline's understudy. Took me years to get use to the fact that she is not a blond.

@@geaj I saw Madeline Kahn in the pre-Broadway (Boston) run. It must have been one of her "on" nights, because she was wonderful in the role, so clearly shaped around her comic gifts. Judy Kaye was vocally magnificent on Broadway -- a real asset in an operetta-parody score -- though her fundamental self-assurance as a performer worked less well than Kahn's unique mix of diva-hauteur and inner fragility. Glad I saw both. A pity there don't appear to be any clips of Kevin Kline in the show (riotous). The real star, however, was the set, and even that looked better in Boston... in NYC, they ended up in a theater with less-than-ideal wing space.
@jochenstossberg54273 жыл бұрын
I can't stand this score, and I hated the show. Gorgeous sets, and that was it. I understand the approach but this isn't Broadway, this is operetta and just as painful. I saw this with someone who had never seen a Broadway show before and that was it for her. Never again.

I’m certainly not going to tell you what to like-and On the Twentieth Century is not exactly one of my favorite shows, either-but it’s ridiculous to say it “isn’t Broadway.” The show was a theatre piece, and the original production ran on Broadway for more than a year. Beyond that, though, operetta was a significant part of Broadway’s output for decades in the early 1900s, so one cannot even really say that operetta-especially the type of operetta that this musical is spoofing-isn’t Broadway.
