'Camoflauge' Mame 1966 Angela Lansbury Bea Arthur

In honor of the birthday of musical theatre legend Jerry Herman, here is one of his unknown songs from "Mame' which never made it past rehearsal stages. Here it is from the recording of the first day of rehearsals with the full cast, as recorded by Donald Pippin. Piano only, along with Bea Arthur and Angela Lansbury singing the number. It's rather a shame this song didn't make it into the show, because I really think it's a great chance to give Bea another great song in the show.

Taken from a live recording of the first day of rehearsals.

Thank you for this - if only the mic were not so far away I could make out the lyrics.

Also: Could someone tell us where in the Musical (and in what scene) this number used to be??
