Im a waiter right now, this video makes me want to step it up so much! I'm not a dancer really but when watching this specific production it really makes me want to beleive what I'm doing and enjoy it. Thank you. This production was amazing.

i saw this production and thoroughly enjoyed it. i thought mimi hines was great. obviously, it was much better live than the video shows, but glad to see it on you tube anyway.

Very unfair criticism about the staging! Sure it is not "Broadway". I'd call it "homespun" ... Mimi and the dancers are not in their prime here, and the end of the number is quite lively and fitting.

Now, the singing is top-notch: we can HEAR all the lyrics and it is sung with great care!

I hope I can dance that way when I am Miss Hines' age here!

This production may not be too slick but it has lots of sincerity!

Great singing, but a DULL staging of what should be an energetic song.

This is great! I'm in the orchestra of this production.....

What year was this?

[Frenchdisneyfan]

It says "1998" at the start of the clip!

Mimi Hines! I love you! As well as the person who posted this. This is the original Gower Champion staging. Correct? Did Lee Roy Reams restage it?

[GeorgeWTush]

That is NOT Gower Champion's staging. Not even close. The choreography in this stinks.
