As it was at the overture and shall be at the exit music, bliss without end. Amen.

Need a Little Christmas Now

Pop singer Jane Morgan is no Angela Lansbury (who is?) but she sang the hell out of lead role in the original production of Mame.  If anything, this December 15, 1968 performance of “We Need a Little Christmas” on The Ed Sullivan Show let’s us see how the number looked onstage (choreography: Onna White). Two-time Tony-winner Helen Gallagher is Gooch (she would played Vera in this production- talk about versatility). I’m getting into the Christmas spirit and starting to live these lyrics once again. I’m looking forward to the holiday season and I hope you are as well.

"You Can Dance With Any Girl at All"

From the 1971 revival of No, No, Nanette: Tony-winner Helen Gallagher and nominee Bobby Van perform this charmer on the Tony telecast. For those fellow bloggers who were there for the superlative Encores! concert this past May. To quote Stella Deems, wasn’t that a blast?
