Thank You,B.F.B.!!!
That was so freakin' cool!!!
Television commercials for original cast albums...
Wasn't it great being civilized?
I loved the Bill Baird marionettes.
I saw the Baird Marionettes in Kansas City when I was a kid. It was a wonderful, full-length production of Pinocchio!
Thanks for sharing this, BFB!
Can you imagine somebody doing this spot today, with puppets for Wicked, Hairspray, Jersey Boys and Spring Awakening? GOD, I would love that.
I understand that it was broadcast at the end of the original Peter Pan telecast.
Has anyone seen the original B&W version? Was it different from the color version?
It's different in that the staging is different. The 1960 color version was filmed just for TV and wasn't with a live audience.
I didn't know the original Broadcast was with a live audience. I need to see this!
Though, what's with the guy patting the "Silk Stockings" marionette on the butt at the end of the commercial?
What was he thinking? "Gee, that's a nice a piece of wooden ass she's got there...."
Did you just say...."the guy"????
