I love how Cassie is all “I got it” regarding the steps even though all DeeDee showed her was “turn, drop, kick” and yet still managed to mess up the order of that.
Yes, of course! This is definitely a parody of "A Chorus Line".. Dawn French is playing the character of Cassie, singing a parody of "The Music and the Mirror" (which is a FANTASTIC tour de force Broadway number, if you're interested in seeing the real thing!).
"Show me the steps, DooDoo!" "Still on for the pizza, DooDee?" "Sure..and it's DeeDee, Bee!" LOLOL I'd never seen this sketch before! Thanks for posting! :D
I saw a revival of A Chorus Line after I had seen this and giggled through whole damn production. Dawn and Jennifer could read a phone book and make it hysterical.
It isn't. I'm not sure what the audience found funny about it; bit lame. Only reference I can think of is that 'doo doo' is slang for 'poo' in North America. I like the rest of the sketch though. Much of it could have been actual dialogue in 'A Chorus Line.'
Wow, Dawn was so thin here. I don't recall ever seeing her so small. Was 'A Chorus Line' a hit in the UK? The film I mean. In the states it stunk up theatres. I really enjoyed it but it was considered trash by most.
serious 22: I’m Australian and saw it in London when I was travelling in the 70s. I was 21. I absolutely loved it and I think it was very popular in at the time in the UK. A few years later it was on in Sydney and I didn’t go to see it because everyone I knew who saw it, hated it. The movie was pretty awful - completely lacked that electricity that something like it needed.
