Deliberate or not, Elaine Stritch = comedy gold

I saw the original Broadway production, and this is very close to what I remember as the original choreography, adjusted for the actor's ages.

is there anything better than this brilliant show and cast?! Dean Jones is divine. We won't see this kind of talent again :(

It's Dean Jones!! A superbe singer! He was in OBC to perform company, I saw him with Ellaine Stritch in 1970 and others of OCB.

What an extraordinary piece of theatre. Wonderful choreography.

The opening of Act II was one of those memorable moments in my theatre-going experiences that had me jumping in my seat. (Along with "70 Girls 70" and "Follies".) I had just moved to NYC and this was the first show my friends there took me to see. At the time, I knew nothing about the show . . . and I was blown away. I saw the Larry Kert version, but this original cast was amazing - in my memory banks never being quite surpassed by any revivals. This version was not quite as crisp as I remember the original (everyone being some 20+ years older), but all the joy came flooding back. Thanks for finding this. et

Saw the original cast on Broadway, minis Dean Jones in 1970 for my first Wedding Anniversary!

I BEG you to post more.

totally wonderful!!

What a treat!

Oh my god! This is just fantastic! Thank you whoever!

what a fantastic video. thank you for sharing.

WONDERFUL upload.

Brilliant - thanks for that

Thanks for your clarification. You seem like such a lover of the theatre and I did find it confusing when I misunderstood your "tiring" comment. Keep 'em coming!

Very good! Really perfect! Do you have videos of "THE LITTLE THINGS YOU DO TOGETHER," "YOU COULD DRIVE A PERSON CRAZY" and "Getting Married Today" from this same concert? It is these cations are my favorite! Thank you!

Hey Ellain Stritch is there, I love her so much!!!

Not at all "tiring" to me (quoting rodanvideo). Yeah, maybe "sort-of haphazard", but the cast still played it with such conviction that it worked wonderfully for me. Dean Jones was great but I really miss Larry Kert (I saw him do it and he was a friend). Thanks rodanvideo--I love your uploads.

That was what most people would call "pretty friggin' amazing"

Is there a DVD of this? Or are there other videos of some performances from that night? it would be amazing if they were posted. Thank you

Was this from Long Beach, CA? I saw this concert there. Wow, Wow, Wow. It was if 22 years was yesterday.

R.I.P. Dean Jones

That is just Elaine being Elaine. Is that Beth Howland? Looks great!

Is Beth the one with the long hair (it's hard to tell)? Whoever that is, her hair makes her stand out and look much younger than the others just because they all have shorter (or pulled up) graying hair, ha. I love this clip and the OBC! Ah, Company

I'm Forty I only saw the video! I

Honestly I can totally picture Joanne giving half effort for her character

do u have any footage from the 1997 into the woods reunion show??? if u did, please please post it!

Ok, I am young and I've never seen the original... was it Elaine's character to mess up like that or was she really messing up during this video? Either way, this was very fun to watch! Thanks for posting!

Have ypu the video for "You coul dirve a crazy person" or "Not getting married today" this concert?

I wonder why Elaine can't keep up. I mean, it's not like she had stopped performing at that point (far from it, she was in the Harold Prince revival of Showboat the next year).
