Man, I was so disappointed when I grew up and discovered that people didn’t spontaneously break out into dance numbers… ever. 😢

Man, I was so disappointed when I grew up and discovered people didn’t spontaneously burst into dance scenes.

01:53 - AIDS POX, CHA-CHA-CHA

I'm always in the mood for bean cake fish!

Nancy Kwan isn’t singing. They dubbed in someone else’s voice.

this deserves more views SLAYYY

At 1:42… The girl on the right in the orange dress…OMG, she is beautiful!❤️

i can expecting Wake up (wake up) Grab a brush and put a little make-up

Why is that guy singing about dreaming in his Maidenform Bra?

Some might consider it racist nowadays, but I think that for it's time it was very inclusive. And boy, could that young man dance!

My son and I ordered from our local carryout and started singing not realizing we didn't hang up the phone, the guy who took our order started singing with us! 😂 When we went to pick up he gave us a free order of chop suey for reminding him how much his grandmother loved this movie!

The American twist on Asian cuisine... I take extra pineapple. Ball point pens and filter tips, Lipsticks and potato chips... you can give your hair a neat wave... cha cha cha... something real and growing and grand...

I love this. It's a great illustration of how, no matter what race we are, we are ALL Americans. 💖

oh my gosh. i was looking at chita riveras past stage and dance bow that she passed. so i forgot about fllower drum song. i think my older brother ssaw this on stage in the early 1960s. it seems very racist and mysogynistic. fortunatly my grade school went to the opera madam butterfly in the 1970s.

On Saturday mornings my dad would put on the album of the broadway version of Flower Drum Song . Ive been a fan ever since. The play came out 5 days before I was born. This movie is great but the play is better. You cant beat Pat Suzuki. 100 million miracles has a native american rythim to it. My mom made a British version of chopsuey called pork and vegetable chop chop. It was great!!!!

These girls are probably married with children now...

This 1 song never gets old.....excellent.....l can relate for sure.......❤

I was going crazy tryn to find this clip because I was 6 or 7 at the time, but I remembered this song from a movie that I had no idea what the title of it was! I'm relieved that I wasn't just imagining this.

As an ABC myself, l love this song.....Chop Suey, Chop Suey, Chop Suey.....❤

If I didn't know any better, I'd swear in court that the male soloist at 0:18 is the one and only Thurl Ravenscroft.

one of my Favorite Movie

I had no idea this lady was African American 😮

May be all-time time best choreography ever In musical comedy theater. LOVE. IT! ANGLED STAGING, COSTUMES,. THAT B A N G I N' ORCHESTRA TION!

When l was a little girl, San Fran Chinatown was our family weekend trips every weekend for years and years. My footprints are on Grant Ave for life

"The girl serving your food is another tasty dish!" That line always makes me laugh! Great show.

I can be Linda with my balled head hubby not the fong

I'm not Linda thank you thank you

💙💙💙💙

OMG when the dancers let loose: the Hermes Pan choreography and precision of the dancers. Imagine the rehearsal time that must have gone into this. The work they put into movie musicals of that era. Love it! Thanks for posting!

This role was going to go to Anna Mae Wong, but she passed away.

My mother sometimes would be cooking and singing Chop Suey.

Love this song and Asian Americans singing. James Shigeta had a wonderful voice. Miss him as an actor. He was underrated.

Juanita Hall had an African-American father an an Irish-American mother. Playing Bloody Mary in South Pacific earned her a Tony Award.

Hollywood veteran Hermes Pan whose work with Fred Astaire is legendary, did the choreography.

Love this number in the film. It builds in such a clever way and man oh man those kids throw DOWN at the end.

In the early 1960s, Lee Wolf, a well-known musician, arranged the Flower Drum Song's score for the Vasella "Musketeers" Drum and Bugle Corps. The music was fun to play and very entertaining. It was a winning repertoire in competition with other drum corps up and down the East Coast.

living here is very much like chop suey

There are no San Francisco streets THAT clean!!

🎼🥁🥁🥁❤🤲🤲🤲🤲🌹👏

Everyone was Asian but her she was Spanish.

Delicious Miyoshi Umeki, the true female lead with all my respects to Nancy Kwan who is one of my favorite actresses.

Wonderful ! Back to a time when dancers used to dance to the music, and not just look like they are doing aerobics, or 'keep fit' exercises to music !

so much fun

Brilliant dancing from the days of ballet and jazz

Wake u- oh wrong song

Echoes of 'Oklahoma!' to emphasize the Americanization the characters were striving for. And love that square-dance caller!

MADAME LIANG: I like that! CHOP SUEY! CHOP SUEY! LIVING HERE IS VERY MUCH SCREWY! I hate this place!

I've never been to the States but my parents saw the musical in London's West End. They bought a record with hits from the show which I listened to many times. In the early 2000s I met a lady from San Francisco. Using the words of the song I mentioned Grant Avenue and Chinatown in such a way as she thought I had actually been there
