Here is some rare footage from the 1980 Tony Awards show. The wonderful Ann Miller and Mickey Rooney performing several musical numbers from their hit Broadway show SUGAR BABIES, a wonderful show.
I saw this show opening night at the Mark Hellinger theatre and at that time, there was another in it, ANN JILLIAN, who was the "new star" in this cast and boy did these 3 stars sell it! This show launched Ann Jillian's long running career and her solo production numbers in Sugar Babies had a lot to do with it. She was great just as Mickey and Annie Miller were. What a cast! Do you have any clips with Ann Jillian? Many thanks!
We celebrated my son's 14th birthday by seeing this show. I broke down and cried when Mickey came on stage...I was so over-come with emotion on seeing this most wonderful person live.
