Goosebumps and a lump in my throat! I was in the front row of this amazing show (a christmas present from my daughter) I thought I had died and gone to heaven! Incredible cast a memory that will stay with me

I wish these would stay on longer than 48 hours! Please air this again! I missed it by a couple hours and I am. heartbroken!

I had the pleasure of working with Clare Halse in 2016. She was lovely, and a triple threat powerhouse, I'm glad to see that hasn't changed, incredible.

[dinkn]

Love this show, so glad I got a chance to see it before it closed!

[dancerover]

I have just "discovered" Ms Halse, what a talent!

[rrrrogahtaylah]

possibly the best song in the show, absolutely amazing

[samosullivan]

Clare Halse is sensational but it’s the thunderous tapping of the ensemble that really makes this number!

[musicalmattress]

Never thought tap dance could be art! Entertainment? Sure! But art? This number is art!

[alanmackinnon]

Loved every minute of this show. Smiled from start to finish, it was just wonderful.

[coffeetalk]

[bullschmitt]

Once the pandemic is over, I HAVE to take tap dances now

[lindalaw]

I need an oxygen tank just to watch this!😂❤❤❤

[antm]

[anthonydefilippisartist]

I just can't stop watching and watching again ! This gives me chills 😍😍 so brilliant ! 💛💛💛

Absolutely love this. Had listened to the original Broadway soundtrack for years, but had never seen a Broadway performance. Only saw clips here and there of local productions posted online. This was exactly how I imagined it. The crowd dance scenes, especially the finale, could rival Busby Berkeley. Bravissimo!

5:21 Never knew tap dancing could have sexual tension until now!
