I had seen Tommy Tune in my hometown of Portland, Oregon in the national Broadway touring company of SeeSaw (his big number It's Not Where You Start It's Where You Finish). So when I was in New York like 8 years later I went to see this show because of him. Twiggy, as it turned out, was an extra bonus. I loved this number when I saw them do it live. I still love it now. 41 years later.

Twiggy was born to sing 1930s classics. S'wonderful. ❤

And his

thank you for this one. It’s been on there for nine years and I never saw it. barely a year after uncle Timmy drowned

Steve Allen and Judy sing a medley of music from SOPHIE.

It probably failed because its nothing but feminist garbage. The staging is impressive, but that's about it. Hard pass unless you like 3-hours of berating and whining.

I saw this show on B'way. S'wonderful indeed.

Wow, did know he was a singer !

I so miss Mr Gershwin here. 😢

Poor George G

When Alex winter was in Peter Pan 1979 before the lost boys 1987🥺🥺🥰🥰

closed after 5 days

I have never forgotten seeing this broadcast performance. It is so wonderfully charming, the dancing utter perfection! Tommy Tune, exceptional talent, Twiggy so beguiling!

Was this number in the original?

Why is there no credit given to Joe Layton the choreographer??

I wrote that special

They’re better than today’s Broadway drivel .

This is my favourite show of all time. It’s overtaken Wicked, Come From Away, all of them. It’s opened a whole new world for me. Firstly it introduced me to Stephanie J Block and secondly and I’ve now travelled the entire west coast of Ireland and I’ve learnt about Gráinne’s whole life. I’ve read all the books and visited all the sights as well as learning so much more about 16th-17th century England. Not to mention I could listen to the entire soundtrack daily and cry every time. It’s just beautiful.

Absolutely stunning performance 😍

Wonderful talent. Watched him in M this afternoon. He was quite good, far cry from playing a leprechaun with an identity crisis!

Why would she ever have had to auditon?

I love that this company tries to recreate these forgotten musical numbers - but if this was truly what this show was like I'm not surprised it was a massive, very expensive flop. Joe Layton was usually so good, but this isn't. I didn't see it, but from all accounts it was beautiful to look at, but the book was confused.

Exquisite orchestrations.

🎹 Incredible! So beautiful! Thanks so much for posting.

Tommy Tune & Twiggy!! Two fantastic Broadway performers!!!!

A tarot reader made the statement, " my one & only" & it reminded me of the old commercial for this hit Broadway musical!! 🎼 💘 🎶 😍 💃

I think it's far better than Hamilton, screw the critics!

The actor playing her father had a great voice and he's so attractive too

Wow! Mind blowing beautiful voice and such a beautiful face. What a talent she had.

She's wonderful here.

oh dears, this reminds me of The Muppet Show.

Gary Sandy...sigh!!! Had the greatest head of hair on tv!

What year was this clip made? What was the event?

"Despite an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences [in Chicago]"?? That's a bit of a lie. I was thrilled to score tickets to the Chicago run, then heartbroken by how boring and tuneless the show was. 2/3 of the audience didn't come back from intermission (No lie). I stuck it out to be polite, but to this day, The Pirate Queen is talked about as the worst pre-Broadway tryout ever inflicted on Chicago, worse even than The Last Ship and The Goodbye Girl.

Tenderloin could have been a wonderful show...if it's lead character wasn't such a killjoy! The ensemble that made up the so-called "bad guys" of the show were much more interesting than that boring, fuddy-duddy Reverend Brock.

Thank you for uploading 😍

Dorothy Fields lyrics are so amazing

Have loved her for over 45yrs. Was fortunate enough to see her in concert and was gobsmacked. Fans who haven't heard her album 'Live at Carnagie Hall' should treat themselves and download it. Every song, every moment is pure ecstasy.

Stephanie & Hadley were amazing in Chicago... the show just didn't pass mustar. I felt bad b/c it could have been so much better. I'm curious what the Broadway version turned out to be - the changes in rehersal look so much better

We just get a taste.... But was delightful in the role he originated in Finian'Rainbow as the Leprechaun

Leslie Uggams was a beautiful, talented woman.

Was there ever a more glorious voice?? <3

I saw Sophie on Broadway on opening night when I was a teenager. They brought the real Miss Tucker onstage after the curtain calls. I may still have the playbill and ticket stub. 🎹

This show should come to Australia!

My god what a dancer he was. Brilliant, and even better than Astaire or Kelly...and more versatile. This routine is positively marvelous...and very funny!

Awesome!

How many children total did Granuaile have?, More than 3 or 4?.

The fact that this show got zero tony nominations was a crowd.

Stephanie should have at least gotten a Tony nomination for this. Snubbed for PIRATE QUEEN!!!
