Look at how fluid and graceful the late Bruce Adler's dancing is. A work of art.

@YELLOW42758 yes the original does not have billy in the song this version of the play is very comical and i feel more comical betweent he constant disguises billy wears and the fact that moonface is just himself..... this is the version my school did and we had a great time other then the fact half of the jokes we had no clue what they were

"Friendship" wasn't in the original production. But you're right about BIlly not knowing about the plan in the original 1934 production.

@abnormalsin And the 1943 MGM DuBarry's best moment is at the end when Lucille Ball, Red Skelton, Gene Kelly and Virginia O'Brian do the number. At the very end a young Zero Mostel even joins in! The movie as whole suffered form the censorship and other re-workings that many Broadway transfers to film went through then. Also, Betty Grable's success in the 1939 Broadway DuBarry was what allowed her to write her ticket back to Fox.

This song was originally in DuBarry Was a Lady. So none of the various Anything Goes treatments can be called th original. It was first put into Anything Goes for the Colgate Hour TV production so Ethel Merman and Burt Lahr could recreate their DuBarry duet.

Most entertaining version of this song I've ever seen, and the late Bruce Adler made it sparkle with his facial expressions. You never know how long you've got. As Michael Mann says in film after film, "Time is luck...."

@ramirezrox1 me too i'm a big Chita fan also
i honestly think it's more comedic in the duet version when it's just between moonface and reno. cause billy isn't supposed to know about the plan. thats how it was done in the original version anyway, just saying....
