I saw this at a highschool and no joke they were better. (Wheaton Acadamy) this is still amazing.

This is amazing to me! In the movie Gene Kelly and Donald O Connor didn't actually sing, they danced to playback. These guys had to do the chorography, and belt out the song while wearing mics which can really boadcast breathing issues!

@Spudforth Not to mention no cuts and all the other numbers in the show....8 times a week!

@marxps !! Hey! If you're Peter Marx, the guy who played Cosmo- did the sound guy take mercy and turn off your mics when the singing part was over; so you could breathe?

Yep - sure they would have been pleased - excellent results and the other videos from the same production - thanks for posting them - very encouraging.

If this was 1985 - did either Mr Kelly or Mr O'Connor get to see this? Sure they'd have been pleased.

@AvaJaneKelly O'Connor came to a rehearsal and said it wasn't possible to do Make 'em Laugh live. Well he was partially right....I did it and sprained both ankles after 2 months. We cut Cosmo doing the flips and worked it so the other 'workers' in the number did the back flips off the wall......

Marvellous attention to detail - in one take - no breaks!

[Chapelina]

The more similar the movie! Perfect!
