Chita Rivera and the company of Jerry Herman's Kennedy Center Honors tribute 

I love christine Baranski, Christine Ebersole, Carol Channing, Chita Rivera and Angela Lansbury

They just don't make them like this anymore. I cannot BELIEVE how well Angela Lansbury looks; it's like she never ages. What a wonderful group of talented people!

How did the stage not crumble under the weight of all that talent?

I had the great pleasure of seeing a rivival of Mack And Mabel at the Shaw Festival in Canada. Terrific production! It should be revived more.

The loving tribute this giant so richly deserved!

Just looking at those three grand dames of Broadway, holding hands and doing what they've done for so long.

This is 2010. Dame Angela is 85 and Carol Channing, nearly 90! Wow!

Jerry Herman had a great sense of MELODY !

Miss Carol Channing, ladies and gentlemen!!!!

What phenomenal music. Nothing like classic B'way.

Watching now April 2022 and the tribute is fantastic. 👏🙏🥰🎵🎶📽️

Jerry Herman is brilliant, a true one of a kind.

Just because I do not think she is getting enough mentions / respect. Carol Channing is amazing.

I still remember fondly singing his songs from Mame on the stage in College. What a genius and its Sooo true that he has created songs FULL of happiness, longing and in fact, has captured the American dream of neighborliness and the dream of recognition we strive for in Hello Dolly's music.

Breathtaking and beautiful. What a wonderful tribute to a great man of Broadway letters!

QUE MARAVILLA!!!!

I was mesmerized by both Matthews in this video! The whole thing was fantastic though.

CHITA!!!! ❤️

JERRY HERMAN IS A GENIUS , LOVE ALL HIS SONGS, ESPECIALLY "THE BEST OF TIMES"

Fantastic... if one could only have written one of those songs one would be proud and what about Miss Channing... terrific

Just pure magic!

Terrific effort by all performers.

Thank you so much for posting! I teared up. Jerry Herman is an icon and the performances (even if truncated) did his tribute justice. I believe that's the Jerry Herman Tribute Choir on "I Am What I Am" and the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, DC on "The Best Of Times".

Hello Dolly- Hello Dolly It's Today- Mame Bosom Buddies- Mame Time Heals Everything- Mack and Mabel Before the Parade Passes By- Hello Dolly It Takes a Moment- Hello Dolly I Don't Want to Know- Dear World I Am What I Am- La Cage aux Folles The Best of Times- La Cage aux Folles

3:25 time heals everything

Love the two Christines. A stage full of Broadway Divas.

They forgot to announce Dame Angela Lansbury. But how could you not know who she is? 😊

@Locale64600 we're from walter johnson high school in bethesda, maryland! :) thank youuuuu for the kind words!!

Amazing cavalcade of stars

Matthew Morrison rocked that performance !

RIP Jerry Herman

Jesus, the security would have been insane for that show. Is their anybody who isn't there? Is that Bill T Jones next to him?

I think Angela should have reprised her song for "I Don't Want To Know" but overall BRAVO!

Love this all the greats are here

THIS IS SIMPLY REMARKABLE!

Agreed!

matthew morrison is undeniably talented,but always looks like he is PERFORMING!

chita :)

@searchingstarlight The songs are from Mame, Dear World, La Cage Aux Folles and Hello Dolly.

Laura Benanti sings Time Heals Everything better than Bernadette Peters! Great Performances from the entire cast!

This is theatre!

Thank you, @njreo :)

I can't help but feel that this performance would have been ten times better if Bea Arthur was still alive and able to sing Bosom Buddies with Angela.

It's Today - Mame

@biddybooable i agree. he never loses himself. he needs to be more natural

It's called Today from Mame.

What song is Laura Bennti singing and from what show? Also, my dance teacher is dancing in this. Awesome.

what songs are these and what shows are they from? totally awsome :)

was carol channing's bit cut short???

ELPRIMER MUSICAL QUE VI EN COLOMBIA SE LLAMABA "HELLO DOLLY"....CUANDO EN LA T.V.. COLOM BIANA ALGUIEN TENIA EL CEREBRO PARA TRANSMITIRLO.....GRACIAS POR ESE CEREBRO QUE ME DIO LA OPORTUNIDAD DE CONOCER A JERRY HERMAN.....ALGUEIN EN COLOMBIA SABE QUIEN ES JERRY HERMAN???? con lo tarado que es este pueblo, pocos!!!

@tashanewman1 Ha! Nevermind, I got it. Time Heals Everything- Mack and Mabel

@searchingstarlight And Mack and Mabel.

please tell me what's the title of the song performed by Matthew at 1:51 and from musical.

What kind of conductor can't find the tempo to "Bosom Buddies"???? Jeeesh.

such a boring and very tame salute to a brilliant composer. I usually love Rob Ashford. He usually makes productions move, but this one fell flat on too many moments. Some of it was the songs selections and the performers who sang them. This seemed more like a wink and a nod (which was what Sutton Foster did after performing in a very mediocre way (and I love Sutton Foster). There was so much wasted talent. As a whole, this seemed very unrehearsed. I saw George do Albin in the original La Cage, and the range of emotions I felt for almost every number and every performer (except the son, he was terrible) was thru the roof. To dumb down and drown out all of the emotional upliftings of a song like The Best of Times is very tragic. That song was meant to be a killer-style finale. Maybe they needed a director and choreographer as opposed to someone simply staging the show to give it the powerful, emotional, and rising up joyously thru song and dance that a Jerry Herman musical entails. Even poor Jerry at times looked bored and displeased, though putting on his best poker face since they are supposed to be celebrating him.

Herman is good, but 2nd rate Jule Stein.
