I think, as she was watching with a serious face, that she was remembering the choreography and all the things you have to pay attention to when you perform: where your space is, what the musical cue is, the blister in her shoe, how the dancer next to her was moving into her space, like that. Dancers like this make it look like you just get up and shake it and have a great time, but she was remembering all the elements that you attend to as a professional. Wonderful video, thank you.

My mother is 104 and we show her pictures of her at 20 during the war at formal parties, sipping cocktails in a gorgeous dress, surrounded by handsome men in full uniform, or when she was a stewardess with BOAC welcoming Charlie Chaplin on board. This video too is so bittersweet. Sweet because it reminds us of the glory and beauty and grace of youth, and bitter, because unstoppable time robs us all of those things we failed to treasure then, and at the end, tomorrow disappears. I am old too and to be old, only then can you really appreciate these closing lines from a great novel that celebrated youth. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter-to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning-- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

We, too, will age and hopefully we can have the younger people so kind like this. Our dad passed away last year at the age of 84 from Alzheimer’s.

my mom has a similar feeling, and it just seems heartbreaking. seeing people perform on broadway was her greatest comtort all her life, but after living in a dry place for 17 years, her vocal chords were in terrible condition. she couldn't sing when she moved there, got horrible sinus headaches every day, and when she went to the doctor once, he could not stress enough that she needed to leave, or she would get throat cancer. she was horribly depressed, it's amazing she stayed sober until final two years we lived there. we've moved back to her home state, far more humid than where we lived, and some of her vocal abilities have come back. she's sober again, and so much happier. still, she knows she'll never be able to be truly back in the one place that made her happier than anything else. broadway is no longer a comfort to her, but a painful reminder of how much of her life was spent in a prison, away from her family and friends. she'll likely never be able to sing as a mezzo soprano anymore. she is the strongest person i know, and this story really reminded me of her, in the darkest and brightest ways.
