Okay, hands down, my FAVORITE rendition of Glitter and Be Gay. EVER.
Sorry Barbara and Kristin fans, this one has them BOTH BEAT.
It's not about nailing ALL the notes, and hitting them long enough to get applause, it's about MAKING FUN OF THE GENRE OF OPERETTA, as the rest of Candide is. And Madeline Kahn seems to understand this the best of all, in my opinion.

Makes me wish *so bad* that I was born in the right time and place. Thanks so much for sharing. More Madeline Kahn pls! More younger people need to recognize this luminous talent. :)
Here's a few things to remember: She was in no way a film star at this point and in fact had only one semi hit Off- Broadway shows under her belt.
This was a Birthday Celebration for Leonard Bernstein, whom, I have no doubt, auditioned Kahn, along with others, for the role.
It is a huge testament to her talent - which was virtually unknown in 1968 - that she landed the role!
