I saw How To Succeed at the Shubert in Philly fifty years ago. I was very excited to see this show mainly because of Bobby Morse, having been blown away by his performances in "Say Darling" and "Take Me Along" and from the moment he was lowered onto the stage from the scaffold in the opening number he owned that stage and that role which fit him like a glove. I saw Broderick in the nineties but no one could ever come close to what Morse brought to the role.

This special was originally called "Showstoppers: The Best of Broadway" and premiered on the pay cable Entertainment Channel in 1982. For home video release it was retitled "That's Singing: The Best of Broadway." In 1985 it was shown on PBS "Great Performances".

I think this was from the early 1980s or so. Great performer!

[vintropical]

what year was this performance?

[DannoCrutch]

A unique and supremely talented performer.

[John Trinkle]

There's just something about Robert Morse..... you can't quite explain it, but he's the PERFECT Finch, I can't imagine anyone else doing that good of a job

[Ryan Lohner]

Hard to believe he's Bert Cooper from Mad Men.

[pippozg]

whats this from?? like the tony awards or what? and godammit it pisses me off cuz I rlly wanna be able to sing this song but I can't!

[Montira Warran]

Robert Morse is THE J. Pierrepont Finch. The only other version I've seen is Matthew Broderick's, and he was fine. I'm sure Dan Radcliffe did great, too. Sometimes, though, nothing beats an original.

darren criss is taking over for several weeks, and then Nick Jonas is taking over after that. But, I agree. I haven't seen either radcliffe or broderick live, but from what I've heard/seen on youtube, they don't quite match morse.
