Does anyone know the name of the lady tap dancer in the ballet shoes? I've been trying to research her, and just watched "The Broadway Melody," which is what this clip is from, but I can't identify her name! Thank you to anyone who can help!!
I wonder how a 1930-style big show would do today with authentic, brassy orchestrations, gigantic backdrops and stagings, white-tie stylings, old sassy NYC accents, and semi-operatic use of the voice?
@madeleinegrayson8372 , well, that's YOUR OPINION. In my opinion, tap dance is slavish. Kissing up to your master. It's not an art form; it's just slavish.
