Thank you for posting this video. I remember watching it when it originally aired and thinking that it was the greatest musical theater performance I'd ever seen. I have looked for it before and was never able to find it again, until now. Decades later, I still think it is one of the best live musical moments of all time.

Regarding Broadway performances, I so much want to see the play in its entirety but must be happy with the bits and pieces that are available. I love these performances as well!

Saw the original production and cast. Sublime. So creative in every aspect- actors, music, set, script.

Private Dictator So much clever squeezed into two words. It's perfect.

About two minutes into this, after a little bit of contextual dialogue the song 'You are nothing without me' begins. It's one of multiple very cleverly scripted numbers in this show.

I went to the same high school as Gregg. We were in musicals together. Even as a teenager, He was so talented and laser focused on a theater career

@quietmoments691 2 года назад

He is a talented guy. Must have been fun to share a stage with him.

@gailjacobson7088 2 года назад

@@quietmoments691 yes, it was. Even as a teenager he was head and shoulders above the rest of us and it was clear that he had the ability and drive to make it a career

Totally crushworthy.

This makes me so sad that there isn’t a full-length video preserved of this amazing musical. I got to see it once in San Francisco in the early 1990’s. Not the original Broadway cast, but still a pretty great production.

It's great to have this as a document of that underappreciated show. It's an odd, sort of back-door choice for the subject at hand though.

I love this; without the playwright the character wouldn't exist, but without the character the playwright wouldn't exist either

I wish there was a full version of the official Broadway performance online, I wish I could've seen it live so bad because the plot of the whole thing is just so creative and I feel like so many plays follow a somewhat predictable path that can fall into a few categories today but this just stands out to me so much. (If anybody had a link to more performances by the original cast itd be greatly appreciated)

@quietmoments691 7 месяцев назад

You and me both. I would LOVE to see the original cast in the roles. Aurora Spiderwoman has several clips if you haven't seen those.
