What performer who was the star of a HIGHLY successful sitcom in the 1970s and 80s was featured in the musical IT'S A BIRD--IT'S A PLANE--IT'S SUPERMAN singing "You've Got Possibilities"?
GOOD LUCK, Everybody!!!

YOU BET, Wildcat!
Yep, before Linda Lavin began slinging hash at Mel's Diner, she had a brief career in Broadway Musicals--and made QUITE an impression with that number in SUPERMAN!!!
Way to go, Wildcat!
Now for your bonus points:
The authors of the Book for SUPERMAN, David Newton and Robert Benton, continued to write about Superman and were involved in ANOTHER project which featured the character. What project was that?

The movie SUPERMAN starring Christopher Reeve.
(I was at the Hollywood premiere at Mann's Chinese, and what impressed me more than anything was that Peter Allen had Treat Williams as his date!)

"You've Got Possibilities":
Hair cut - simply terrible.
Neck tie - the worst.
Bearing - just unbearable.
What to tackle first?
Still, you've got possibilities,
Though you're horribly square.
I see possibilities;
Underneath there's something there.
Collar - pure Peoria.
That hat - oh no!
I'm not Queen Victoria -
This suit has to go.
Still, you've got possibilities
Let us give it a try.
I see possibilities
Maybe more than meets the eye.
Don't back away.
Come on, unbend.
Why can't I be
Your little friend?
Baby, you're improvable.
It won't take long.
Mountains can be moveable
If the spirit's strong.
You've got possibilities;
Takes a woman to tell.
I see possibilities.
Let me pry you from your shell.
Relax, sweetheart, I'm not going to bite you - yet.
You won't be shy
When I get through.
Come on and roar,
You, tiger, you!
Somewhere, way down deep in you
There's life, no doubt.
It's just been asleep in you.
Let me bring it out.
You've got possibilities,
Maybe even a lot.
Red hot possibilities -
Why be shy and ill at ease?
I see possibilities
You don't even know you've got!
