Gregory Hines, Tonya Pinkins, Jammin' on Broadway 

This show needs to be in revival. It is a master class for everyone to see. Thank you Gregory Hines,Maurice Hines, George Wolf and the entire cast of Jelly's last Jam.

After one of the performances on Broadway, my mother got to meet Mr Hines outside of the theater. My mother told Mr Hines that the day of the performance was also her birthday. He got the cast to sing Happy Birthday to her outside of the theater . Mom walked in the door late that night, and she was jumping up and down

This Cast is FULL of legends wow!

Wow is all I can say. Fabulous. Had the honour of meeting the late great Gregory Hines. Never saw the show but listen constantly to the soundtrack. George, thank you and the entire cast. Wonderful.

Did this show as a freshman in college. Thanks to whoever posted this. My favorite musical.

I have been looking this for years! I "taped" the last half of it on VHS when I was a teenager and would watch what I had of it over, and over again. One of my favorite musicals.

The greatest show business mystery to me.....how was Hines not a top recording artist? He was INCREDIBLE in this role...but it was his singing was just WOW!

I mixed the sound for this documentary.

I still got the soundtrack. Love it.

Wow....thank you, thank you, thank you! Never knew something like this was even in existence.

...just saw it last week 4 times at the NY City Center (Feb/Mar 2024) and thoroughly enjoyed it (especially since my loved one was in the ensemble!; she wore the original dress worn by Tonya Pinkins as Anita!...also, the original cast came to a show one night!!)...wish I'd seen it with Gregory and Savion just to see the phenomenal tap, but this version made the point nonetheless!!...each of the 4 audiences were engaged and really got into the signing, dancing, the story, etc....during the show, all I cared about about was being entertained but I do really appreciate running up on this for the history and mindset background....George and Susan along with the original asst' orchestrator and the current director, did an after the show talk and paid homage to Luther Henderson, as well as gave some more backstage info about what they were thinking when they wrote their respective parts...as for Jelly, yes, he had some serious issues with accepting himself for who and what he was and sadly, there are way too many folks out there today who have the same misguided pride and lies....perhaps they will come to THE truth before the night they die and leave this earth forever....

Where has this been all my life, sooo enlightening Great history lesson for my children(im a grade school teacher) thank u so much for posting this😊

My all time favorite Broadway show. My favorite performer. Saw Hines in this 4 times.

Wow! great to see this. I got to see the entire production when they came to St. Pete, FL Mahaffey Theater. I got to drive and talk to Mr Maurice Hines every night. It was a very memorable experience.

Thank Geogry for telling you truth and lived it RIP the Great Gregory hines. 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

Wow! Where did this special come from? It's great to have this, about one of my favorite musicals (which I know only through the cast recording, bits and pieces of video, and things seen and read about it). Thanks so much for posting this!

Such a great story. see. It now at Signature in Arlington Va.

One of the best musicals, ever

Who’s here after seeing the show at City Center with the original Hunnies :)

If anyone came for Keith David scenes, he appears in these spots: 18:24 19:59 23:12 24:40

Dig a little deeper.🌠

Jelly.

And now what does Michigan water taste like? I love that George C Wolfe comes straight out and frames the protagonist as a racist.

Sure your right.🌠🤣

How can I get this footage on DVD?

We see where Keith David honed a lot of his Facilier mannerisms;

Gregory HINES not Harrison.

Soooooo was Tanya and Gregory getting it in back in the day????
