I had an amazing opportunity to do this show as one of the 4 wranglers in a regional theatre production with the original Tommy Tune choreography, replica of the original Broadway set and the national touring company’s costume. Oh, and I was a last minute replacement and had a day and a half to learn all of my music and choreography. Scared to death, most fun I ever had on stage and my greatest theatre achievement (even more than bigger parts or accolades). This show is special!

Thank you so much. Have listened to the CD forever but never had the opportunity to see this spectacular show. Just typical genius across the boards. Keith Carradine was a perfect choice.

I saw this on Broadway in 1991 when I was 17 years old! I remember Marla Maples shouting, "Hello, Mr. Ziegfeld," from across the theatre

Saw it on Broadway and it was unstoppable fun. So glad Betty Comden and Adolph Green went out on a high note with this, the biggest hit of their careers.

On the 20th century was great. Just listen to the obc with Madeline Kahn and hear magic. She understood camp. So few people can perform it correctly.

Great! Got to see the tour in 93 - what a great family show, and what dancing! I've seen the "Hand Dance" on other videos and they are staggered on risers in them. In the Chicago engagement they abandoned the risers and staged the number just as it is shown on this video.

Oh my! I'm STILL addicted to this! It's the clearest video I've found, and I LOVE IT! I've posted it on several threads at a music forum I belong to. Keith Carradine is just amazing, the music is so much fun, and that second routine is one of my favorites among the many musicals I've seen.

Scarlett Aldama 89 Miss Saigon is a much better show but at the same time in 1991 modern musical theater never seemed to win more old fashioned shows like this
