Sutton Foster, Patina Miller, Karen Olivo, and Anna Kendrick: four greats honoring one of the all-time greats, Shirley Maclaine. This is just terrific.

[@TheJasminsoria]

what are all the names of the songs???

[@jamesrawlins735]

Opening number is Pajama Game (which was Shirley's big break); Sutton Foster - There's Gotta Be Something Better than This (from Sweet Charity); Patina Miller - If they could see me now (Sweet Charity); Karen Olivo - Irma La Douce (from the musical); Anna Kendrick - It's Not where you start, it's where you finish (from Seesaw).

[@LaineMann]

I've never even heard of Irma La Douce and now I want to see it.

Karen Olivo! YES KAREN YES!

[@MikeA15206]

She can barely walk on the beat!

[@salamandah69]

Mike Anderson that is true. she even admitted to being an awful dancer. for west side story, they had to simplify the dances for her and work hours and hours on her. surprisingly she's won two awards for dancing on Broadway and she was surprised by that.

[@salamandah69]

Andre Ribeiro But she is a much better actress and singer than she is a dancer. Her Tony award really does demonstrate that.

[@iheartdance1995]

Andre Ribeiro It's because she time off from dancing so she wasn't as good as she was a few years prior. Watch her performances in In the Heights and especially as Anita in West Side Story. She was phenomenal in both.

[@NickPrez]

Meanwhile she’s a dancing lead in Moulin Rouge

[@nater6790]

We need to get Anna Kendrick back on Broadway.

[@QueenofWheels]

When was she ever on Broadway?

[@AQuinn-my3qt]

She was on in 1998. She got a Tony nomination. For High Society.

Don't get me wrong, Sutton is great but DID YOU WATCH PATINA? OR KAREN? Or....PATINA?!?

[@boy29girl]

MrsLeota yeahhh... they could have picked a different song for Sutton Foster... something that would show off her voice

[@therealameliabedelia7821]

Sam Colins Whaaaaat? Sutton sounds great, as do all of the ladies up there. But most importantly, it is about celebrating Shirley Maclaine- not showing off the performers.

[@bobo5674]

I've had the pleasure to meet Karen Olivo, and she is the nicest, most down to earth person ever!

[@MarieCPA]

The three ladies aside from Anna Kendrick here already have years of broadway experience in their belt but Anna, though she started in broadway, have transitioned to Film so she may not be at par with these three ladies in terms of this performance. Film musicals is totally different from stage musical. But Anna, nonetheless, did a splendid performance. I always think she can go back to broadway so she can pick up where she left off and even further hone her talent. Overall, the four ladies who performed are amazing talents and did a wonderful job in their tribute to Shirley Maclaine.

[@jessiamedeiros4328]

Her voice is still great and very on par. She just need some more training and moving while she sings and she should be fine.

[@Kiya4ever]

Didn't Anna start on broadway though? I think she's doing just splendid.

[@jaspar38]

Patina as Charity? It seems like it would have interesting possibilities. Producers . . .

Amazing tribute...One of the few women who can steal a scene from Audrey Hepburn (The Children's Hour). They don't make em like Shirley Maclaine anymore.

[@bernellfranklin2229]

I don’t know why people are saying that Anna Kendrick wasn’t up to par with the other people. Imo her voice was made for broadway which she did when she was younger. All of the woman performing were paying a tribute not competing with each other. She deserved to be up there with those other 3 woman. If she didn’t she wouldn’t be there.

[@carolinenicole9848]

They were all spectacular! Anna is absolutely amazing.

[@rcruz4510]

Loved all the performances - but Kendrick singing "It's Not Where You Start" is somewhat misleading. That song is from "Seesaw", the musical version of "Seesaw" - in which Michele Lee starred on Broadway. McLaine (who came to my parents' wedding back in 1956!) was in the screen version of "Two For The Seesaw", written by William Gibson, which subsequently served as the basis for the musical.

[@chantalalexander]

It's a musical tribute to Shirley, so the song serves as a reference to an iconic role she played.

[@MikeMcNamara]

God there's nothing I like better than when someone on stage blows a kiss to a person receiving a Kennedy Center honors... like it just kills me

[@OpheliaVert]

Which is the first song and Karen Olivo's song? I know Sutton Foster's is 'There's Gotta be Something Better than This' from "Sweet Charity" Patina Miller's is 'If My Friends Could See Me Now' also from SC Anna Kendrick's is 'It's Not Where You Start' from "Seesaw" and the end song is 'Lord Help Us We Love Her' But what are the first and Karen Olivo's songs? Thank yoU!

[@KathyFowler]

First song is from Pajama Game. Karen Olivo's song is Irma La Douce, from the musical of the same name. Original soundtrack is here: masterworksbroadway.com/music/irma-la-douce-original-broadway-cast-recording-1960/

What was the song Karen olivo sang? And what did Anna Kendrick sing?

[@raypearson3513]

Irma LaDuce title song from the film of the same name. It's Not Where You Start is from the play 'SeeSaw'. But Shirley sang it on one of her TV specials (it was amazing then. It still is.) Those kind of TV specials are gone. Tommy Tune in SeeSaw sang it first though. In a balloon costume (don't ask..)

so amazing

[@acbisping]

what was this for?

[@Ma_Ba]

When anyone is awarded a Kennedy Center (Washington, DC) national lifetime achievement award, they give a few at once for different categories and the honorees are entertained and spoken to by colleagues on stage. I have seen them for different categories, but would have to read up on it more to delineate. I am going to look up who else was awarded, and for what categories, the same year as Shirley MacLaine. They are around her in that balcony tier.

[@amymelendrez9564]

love anna kendrick, but she cannot hold a candle to the other three broadway legends

[@pudgeuncle]

You know that Anna Kendrick is the youngest Tony nominee in history, right? It is insane to judge almost any performer from the 3rd rate variety show that the Kennedy Center puts on every year, with cheesy tributes and the worst [and most repetitive] choreography imaginable. And as much as I love Karen Olivo and respect the talent of Patina Miller, calling them legends is premature.

[@Tadzio5050]

Nick Mayor All the legend stuff is just stuff but man do I agree with the rest. These tribute often misfire. Beyonce performing Proud Mary for Tina Turner? Silly, cheesy, corny, and just plain bad. Not a good use of any of the talent. Oh well, maybe Shirley loved it.

[@mmbr01rrf]

Nick Mayor Yah but a nomination is one thing-being awarded a Tony is another. And of course being nominated FIVE times and being awarded TWO Tonys is something else all together. Sutton Foster IS legendary.

[@amymelendrez9564]

Nick Mayor I did not judge Anna Kendrick just from this performance. If you watch any other one of her performances, it is obvious that she does not have the same level of talent and training that adult Broadway stars have, and it is made even more obvious in this video. And, as mentioned above, Patina, Karen, and Sutton weren't just Tony nominees - they've actually won.

[@mmbr01rrf]

Amy Melendrez Agreed- but I'm saying that Ms Foster might be a tad bit closer to that legendary status- she's won TWO and in all likelyhood will receive her SIXTH nom this year for "Violet" . She's an extremely bankable talent in the theatre who's got 3 movies she's in(one with Robin Williams) waiting to come out besides the new TV pilot in the wings. I'm afraid Broadway is going to lose her. Really hope not.

[@katiedavies8999]

Does anyone know what the first song is called

[@richardarno]

It's a song from "Sweet Charity" called 'There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This.'

She's not retired - just taking a different journey.
