LADY IN THE DARK Segment from MUSICAL COMEDY TONIGHT 

Lynn Redgrave is stunning and so totally right to play the sophisticated, demanding role of Liza Elliot. You can just imagine the fun this show must have been for audiences seeing Gertrude Lawrence in the 1940's. And how great is it that we have a little bit of Danny Kaye's unforgettable performance. This MUSICAL COMEDY TONIGHT segment is an absolute treasure. My only complaint is that they made several abridgments in the JENNY number. But that sure won't stop me from watching this beautifully staged and performed scene again and again.

Delightful, Kaye steals the show.

Why this never got revived on Broadway is beyond me.

Most of us a looking for the showstopper number by Kaye who originated the role Russel Paxton in the fashion designer in the 1941 Broadway musical. Its 7 minutes into this clip. By the way, the orginal Liza was the great Gertrude Lawerence. She sang The Saga of Jenny. Music: Kurt Weill Lyrics: Ira Gershwin

I believe this was produced by Danny Kaye's wife Sylvia Fine. The whole show was good.

Thanks for posting the whole segment. It was especially good to see the Danny Kaye Russian composers piece to complement the Saga of Jenny.

And, of course, Danny Kaye was Sylvia Fine's husband. Isn't he a genius in this segment? The clarity, economy, flair, presence -- a masterclass.

Great scene!! Watched the performance at Basel yesterday.

Is this version of "Lady In The Dark" available on DVD ? I know we would love to see it . Especially with Danny Kaye .

I'd like to see Debra Harry as Liza
