This is amazing. Carol Channing is a legend. Thank you for posting.

[delidude1999]

she's phenomenal but she is NOT the greatest in the scene. She should have doen the movie--Babs did nto cut it as dolly!

[LimpLeg190]

@delidude1999 They chose Barbara over Carol. (Not to mention besides the normal way Carol says things, she is I believe—76 here.)

If I were to be in this show-Id like to play the character of neigbor Mrs Rose,but as Mr Rose.Small,but great little character scene .

I dedicate this to Panayotis Timogiannakis who let me the chance to first hear this on the radio.

Wow, Carol in her prime!  Where can I get a copy of the whole show?

[SITZPROBE1]

THEY ARE OUT THERE.

[DarthGuybrush7]

. . ."prime"?

[SITZPROBE1]

She wasn't in her prime, but in many ways the show worked better with her age. Perhaps a little more desperation and urgency to "rejoin the human race."

SIDE NOTE: Carol has a "Bible" which has every move in the show in it---it's amazing to look at---moves, character thoughts, etc. I read it during rehearsals,but never asked her who put it together for her and when.
