Dick Shawn, who in one scene can flat-out dance, Letterman, Keaton, Swoosie Kurtz, Jim Hampton… it was destined not to work, but give it a view if you haven’t seen it. Tell me I’m crazy.


This scene of Dick Shawn dancing somehow springs to mind.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World 1963. Sylvester's dance to The Shirelles' "31 Flavors"

I find his character one of the funniest parts of that film.

I don't think this Mother exceeded the original, either.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I don't know if anybody exceeded the original cast, but they all added their individual qualities and interpretations. I particularly liked Joshua Henry as Coalhouse and Brandon Uranowitz as Tateh. Everyone but Nichelle Lewis did a fine job.

I liked the recording fine, DR MichaelG. I haven't listened to the original in so many years. It sounded to me like they included bits that weren't recorded on the original album. The performances were all fine, excepting Sarah, as I believe you have mentioned.

I don't think there's anything they recorded that wasn't on the original Broadway album. More the other way around, as the OBC had more dialogue.

Judy Kahan is also part of the “Mary” cast. I found this enjoyable clip from an off-Broadway review she was in with Jane Curtin. “Pretzels.”

I’m watching the unaired pilot for The Carol Channing Show, which also has Richard Deacon in it. Parts are Lucille Ball farce funny. But jokes about the hungry homeless are not funny.

Carol is now a taxi dancer. Sweet Charity it ain’t.

Jerry Herman is credited with writing the instrumental theme song.

Now for something completely different: Jascha Heifetz and Joel McCrea in They Shall Have Music.
