I saw it just a few weeks before the Tony Award Show so I saw Judy Kaye perform. I had a friend who played Oliver Webb in the cast. I loved it! Kevin Kline was fabulous! Singing while being held upside down and knocked about by McCullum's henchmen was brilliant. My sister and mother saw it a few months later and loved it as well. Sweet memories especially now my friend has passed away.

Judy Kaye is extraordinary! Her final high notes at the end can be heard over entire cast and orchestra.

Cy Coleman and Adolphe Greene outdid themselves in their mock opera numbers.
What a cast. This was a fabulous show.

Was working as an usher at the Los Angels Music Center in the summer of 1979 when the road show arrived at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion. Judy Kaye and Imogene Coca were back and some guy named Rock Hudson in the lead and if memory serves me right, he wasn't half bad. It was a great time and working the show, must have seen it about 25 times. Judy Kaye and Imogene Coca were an absolute delight.

Absolutely, unassailable, quintessential Broadway! On of the finest scores ever written for the Broadway stage!

I fell in love with the cast album, but seeing it dance/sung/acted like this is just utterly incredible. What a good number.. what a great show!

I saw the original on Broadway with Madeline Kahn and then saw Judy Kaye as well.  Both outstanding performers!!

My favorite show of all time! I saw it with Judy Kaye! She was miraculous! Now we have tickets to see the revival 36 years later! I am so psyched! It was actually this musical number shown on the Tony's that exposed me to the show initially and when I moved to New York later that year it was the first show I saw. Watching this brings back such wonderful memories. Thank you for posting it!

Still the most FUN production I ever saw on Broadway.

What's wonderful is that this performance includes a part of the number that isn't preserved on the Original Broadway Cast Recording (starting at "All the service you enjoy while stationary ...").

I saw this in the summer of 1978 with Kaye, front row center. Could’ve tapped the conductor on the shoulder. I thought it was thrilling. Gorgeous sets, orchestra, songs, etc.. and they hired GREAT voices too for the ensemble. I remember one review said, “you leave the theatre humming the scenery.” They WERE spectacular! I think Kahn had just left when I saw it, and remember being very disappointed she wasn’t in it. However, Kaye was terrific. I wonder WHY did Prince have such a chip on his shoulder about the GREAT Madeline Kahn? In a YouTube blog, John Cullum and his wife talk about OTTC and how they felt Kahn wasn’t treated very nicely, and that she was a very special and rather fragile person. I knew Ray Stephens, the porter on the far right. He was a total sweetheart. He was 23 when this show opened. He died at 35 of AIDS. I briefly knew Quitman Fludd, lll as well, the porter on the far left. He was the lead player in an AMAZING production of PIPPIN that I saw in Oklahoma City. He was FANTASTIC in that role. Also, taken by AIDS in the late 80s.

This was my absolute favorite show - we were young singing students in Manhattan then and saw it live. Then wore out the original Vinyl album. I've just ordered a CD...
We - my young Husband and myself - were so delighted with it because we knew the old 1930s Film it was based on - fantastic Screwball Comedy starring Carole Lombard and John Barrymore. Comden, Greene and Coleman translated a very fast-paced, wordy Filmscript into a wonderful Musical

It's funny that in the introduction they mention Judy Kaye becoming a star from this part when Madeline Kahn received the Tony Nomination.

I saw the the Boston try out of this show in February 1978. The entire company was stuck in Boston due to the blizzard of "78". When we finally got out to the theater, the company blew us out of the Colonial Theater. We knew then we were seeing a hit before it went to Broadway. It was electrifying.

Understudies mattered then, and they certainly matter now! Maybe even more than ever. Bravo to Judy Kaye!
