Ya know, I wouldn't swear to it, but a couple of those boys might be . . . well, you know . . . gay.

And it has KEN BERRY!!!

They don't make 'em like that any more. And watching that I can see why.

Did it seem like the same exact choreography in eveyr number? Miss Mitzi dances in front of a phalanx of men.

Does it matter that all the dances look the same?

Mitzi + Singing + Dancing + Bob Mackie = One Level of Gay Heaven.

For me, it's practically ALL levels of Gay Heaven.

I love those dancer boys "coming out" of boxes at the beginning. And she can WORK. IT.

My late friend Reed Jones, whom I've posted about many times (he was the original Skimbleshanks in the Broadway cast of Cats) is one of the boys in yellow. He can be seen in a close up dancing immediately behind her left shoulder, all blond hair and big teeth.

He danced for Mitzi and Shirley MacLaine and with Lena Horne in her tour of Pal Joey and played Tulsa in JoAnne Worley's Gypsy before teaming up with Sandy Duncan and Don Correia and then coming to New York in Sandy Duncan's Peter Pan.

I met him he left Peter Pan to play Big Deal in the West Side Story revival on which I was assistant to the directors.

He loved all his ladies, but he loved Sandy the best.

Thanks for posting this.

This is to prove to all the youngsters that dancers do indeed have feet...and can dance for a shot that lasts longer than 5 or 6 frames.

Mitzi never did it for me, though. I don't know what it is about her that makes her just seem like the poor man's Juliet Prowse.

PEACE.

Holy Mother of God!!! I'm just imagining the meetings asking for rights to the songs:
"Mr. Lennon, Mr. McCartney, Ms. Gaynor has the most wild concept for doing your 'Got to get you into my life'. It will be the most stunning production number. Really, it won't be embarrassing to the memory of your song at all. Really! Trust us."

I killed the boss, you don't think they're gonna fire me over a thing like that!!!!

If you go to that Web site, it looks like Miss Mitzi is planning on releasing her 8 TV specials in a DVD set sometime later this year.

I'M IN!!! I will SO be adding this to my collection.

Please. If they would give the rights to Mrs. Miller their standards couldn't have been all that high.
Ignore video and background sounds and listen to the Fabulous Mrs. Miller

Ken Berry, indeed!

I love when she is kissing the line of "and others" who guested on her show, the clip is over just as she's about to kiss Greg Morris, the only black guy in the lineup.

Thanks, besty! This is indeed heaven!

Is it that Mitzi is "planning' to release the shows on DVD--or is she desperately seeking someone to release them?
