One of the few versions of Berlin's hit that is true in tempo and tone to the intent of the original. "Puttin' on the Ritz" is one of the most innovative popular songs ever written -- and it was written by the same composer who gave us "White Christmas." Those two songs represent a range and virtuosity that few other song writers possess.
Tommy Tune nails it and Mr Berlin must have thoroughly enjoyed this premium performance. Tommy Tune is America’s Sweetheart. Who doesn’t appreciate tap? Bravo and kudos. I’m mesmerized. And Mr Tune summed it up perfectly after his precision performance. I just finished his memoir and I got the feeling he has extraordinary humility and never thought he was as superlative as most of us. It was poignant. He had two great lives and someone remaining a personal story. Yet he still looks for love. He’s just one of a kind.
I thought Andrea was marking it at a rehearsal...then noticed the humans in the audience. It is certainly less than electric, and she seems to be having vocal issues.
