It's dark for a while but you get the idea. I tried to cut it so it could segue into the Beautiful Girls video.

Oh and sorry to be a bore but who is the woman who dances to Rain On The Roof in the feather trimmed frock?

[an7iguy]

That is Natalie Mosco, who also appeared in the original cast of Hair, among other things.

There is something magical about the ghostly twinkle of beads and sequins in the half light. ........and that music, just wonderful. Thank's for this.

this is the papermill production from some years back. the broadway production

at the belasco with blythe danner was much more moving. it pays to put actors in musicals. just check out bernadette peters doing "send in the clowns"

Lol. why didn't Donna wear a blonde wig? Sally is a blonde, it's even in the book!

interesting. looks like Rob Marshall referenced this for the opening of NINE the movie. I always say "if your gonna steal, steal from the BEST!" NINE is fabulous go see it!

[MPFans]

I played Young Phyliss in this production when I was 22. It was a dream come true! Thank you for posting this! It brings back such wonderful memories!

Clearly one of the best musicals of all time, and so smartly written
