I was in the audience that night as a seat filler (and had seen Grand Hotel and was rooting so hard for Michael Jeter to win). Watching it now, what a thrill to see the audience response build so perfectly in sync with the pace of this number, all the way to its crescendo. A perfect example of the magical connection that is possible when audience and performer(s) click just right. And to be immediately followed by Michael Jeter receiving a Tony made it even more exciting. RIP Michael Jeter.

How did you become a seat filler?

@stephenhayes7128 9 лет назад

The single greatest moment in the history of The Tony Awards. Sheer, unadulterated joy! THIS is what Broadway is about.

@Rocketjay12 9 лет назад

Stephen Hayes Yes!

@suzettebennett2564 3 года назад

Amen to that.

@thomasbradley4505 3 года назад

The smiles on their faces at the end of the number tells you how much they enjoyed what they were doing.

It was 30 years ago & I’ve watched in 4,000,000 times and it never gets old. So fabulous.

@orlandocordova5183 2 года назад

YES! YES! YES! I AGREE WITH YOU!

Jeter (as we called him) was my college roommate and fellow actor. He was as kind as he was talented. He had a pet possum named Roscoe. We tried to put the phone in his name, but Roscoe Jeter had no credit history.

@inahandbag Год назад

I saw him in Grand Hotel right after he had won the Tony. The theatre elevated, Michael Jeter and audience together, the roof came off. I’m still grateful.

@bondfool 2 года назад

I would love to see this revived, but I truly can’t imagine who else could fill Michael’s shoes.

@PhantomDrums917 11 лет назад

That man was made of rubber!! Miss him terribly. What a gifted performer. And let's not forget David Carroll as well, the original Baron. RIP the two of them.

Tommy Tune deserves all the credit for his choreography of this scene

@tejaswoman 3 года назад

Thank you, was just wondering who the genius choreographer might be.

@levilevis9032 6 лет назад

Myself and my Uncle watch the performance every moth

@stevenbosch5497 Год назад

When depressed or just a bit sad, I browse for some Broadway entertainment. Throughout the years somehow I missed this piece of gem. Wauw!!!!!!! Such an astonishing performance, even after 30 odd years. After watching this, I cannot stay depressed. Your performance really lifted my spirits.Thank you Michael for sharing your talent. I bet you are sitting on a star.

I love both of them, but I am so amazed at the chorus who dance non stop in unison. Each time I watch this I feel I want to dance with them.

@joelmatthys7742 Год назад

Yes, same here! The ensemble is magnificent here.

@thomasbradley4505 4 года назад

So many people only know Michael Jeter from tv comedies and have no idea how talented he truly was.

@Jojoseahorse 10 лет назад

24 years, and I have never forgotten this, both Michael's amazing performance and his wonderfully human and moving speech. RIP, beautiful and talented man

@PatLikesThese 7 лет назад

I remember watching the Tonycast on TV, and was blown away by Michael Jeter. His performance was spot on. Hearing him talk about his life on Whoopi Goldberg's short-lived talk show made me understand him better. So open and honest. I was so happy he won the Tony, later the Emmy for "Evening Shade". He also bore a striking resemblance to my late husband, Dan. He was HIV+ and died from lymphoma at 48.

@AngelaJeanBarr 5 лет назад

I went from mouth agape at his performance to sobbing at his win reaction and acceptance speech. Ugh... I miss his light SO much.

Now try to watch the clip again and pay attention to Brent Barrett as he dances and sings. He's pretty darn good in this scene. He deserves to have people notice. But nobody notices because there is absolute genius to his right and we just can't look away from genius.

@talkinghead2004 3 месяца назад

so true. And Barrett doesn't really get to show off his true talent: singing. He was as great a singer as Jeter was a dancer.

@TheHManShow 3 года назад

OH MY GOD!!!!!! Michael Jeter could DANCE

@theatermike 11 лет назад

The GREAT Michael Jeter. I have to watch this clip every now and then just to be reminded of the gentle talent that first overwhelmed me in Evening Shade and continues to live on thanks to film and tape. Miss your talent Michael.

@micklest 12 лет назад

Beautiful man, brilliant talent. Tommy Tune sure knows how to let an actor do what he/she does best.

@Martíncespedes 11 лет назад

One of the best Tony performances I've ever seen! Rest in peace Micheal Jeter.

I can't imagine there's a limit to how many times I can watch this. I still cry at the end. Seeing Brent Barrett in London this evening!

@TubenIt83 4 года назад

It is impossible for me to watch this only once! Each time I come to this page, I watch it at least twice! The number is so joyous & Michael Jeter is fascinating to watch. Glad that he won the Tony!

@michaelisennock8391 Месяц назад

Lucky as I was to see this magical production with the original cast, Mr. Jeter, you were, and continue to be, "one warm moment in a world gone cold and crass", and an inspiration gone too soon.

@donpkra 6 лет назад

a wonderful talented man - i met him a number of times with my friend peter who was a priest and who guided him very impressive man

@hefinrosser8685 4 года назад

The most incredible thrilling performance aspect of this production is the company don't distract from the Michael or Brent s performance, they add to it. Such a thrilling production xx

@sarmadasco 9 лет назад

Rcity2332 Good for you! Great attitude! If you do make it to Broadway…share it here so we can come and revel in your joy! Truly. You know that these posts and threads continue for years (I still get 'likes' and replies from things I posted when Bush was re-elected (sadly, in my opinion) and when Obama was elected, 2x…(happily, in my opinion)….so do post your progress, Raphael and let us all share and see your talent. Is always a joy to see people so happy doing what they love and have dreamed of! Peace Out! ~ Gary

@daveharrison8286 7 месяцев назад

I first learned of Mr Jeter in the Fisher King and his performance was poignant on a superior level. I have since delved in to his career and have learned what we have lost. His last performance in a Robert Duvall western ' The Broken Trail' sort of capped it all.

@oscarphile 6 лет назад

Maybe you should do a tutorial video. Teach us all how to do Brent and Michael's crazy moves!

@liduck52 10 лет назад

Saw Tommy Tune interview on TV once. He originally had Jeter doing a tap dance,but it wasn't working. His mother then suggested a Charleston,since it was a popular dance in 1928.

@ryanbrown7536 4 года назад

Left us far too soon. Incredible talent. Rest easy Mr Jeter.

@tejaswoman 3 года назад

Pardon me for talking about anything other than Jeter's marvelous performance, but watching the little credit singing between reminded me how sorry I am that they no longer do scenes from the nominated plays as well as the musicals. As someone living far from NYC, it was my introduction to most of the playwrights nominated back in those days.

@frederickcombs8661 8 лет назад

David Carroll was already out of the show, but this number lived on with both Carroll and Jeter up for Tonys which went to Jeter only. Carroll passed shortly after and a in few years, Jeter too of AIDS. A very fabulous and memorable number, a rare 2-man song, beautifully choreographed by Tommy Tune. "People come... people go... and they go NOWHERE!"

@LuisRodriguez-bo4xg Год назад

Simply coreographed with complex steps, and an agility which not many could match 8 shows a week. Michael Jeter is just extraoridnary here and in the Fisher King! Why don't they make shows like this anymore. 1988-1994 seasons have not been matched since! All u get now is Disney canned songs or mundane first time writers. And yes I mean A Strange Loop is mediacrocy at its worst!!!

VIVIAN CRAWFORD Yes. Me too, when I was about 12..with my own, personal 'Auntie Mame.'…..! It was, even for my young and unexperienced self…amazing! Jeter was amazing, in everything he did. No one knew he was so unwell when doing this…no one un the public, that is. He was a remarkable performer….sort of a Nathan Lane, before there was Nathan Lane…! He is missed, I know, so much! May he be, as an actor and a person..an inspiration to us all! Peace Out, Ms. Crawford!

Michael Jeter's performance has got to be the funniest piece of comedic shtick in all Broadway. An evocation of cartoonist John Held (January 10, 1889 - March 2, 1958) if ever there was one!
