Posted: 1/3/06 at 12:00amBarbara Harris performing "I Wanna Be a Movie Star"/"Gorgeous" from THE APPLE TREE in 1967. The first time the Tonys were telecast nationally. She was amazing. I was a kid but the performance is still with me. I'll also never forget Judy Kaye hitting that high note at the conclusion of the TWENTIETH CENTURY excerpt in 1978. Thrilling!

I adore Barbara Harris and would kill to see that clip. Is that the one that's included on the first Broadway's Lost Treasures special features? I have to get that.
I know that some people have compiled bunches of Tony performance clips together on DVDs. I would love that.

Posted: 1/3/06 at 12:25pmI agree with all the people who had Miss Peters doing Roses Turn. It was amazing. Also the Evita performance was fabulous.

Posted: 1/3/06 at 3:37pmI think on the next installment of Broadway's Lost Treasures, they should include the Dreamgirls sequence. It's times like these I curse I wasn't born 20 years earlier so I could be old enough to have seen, and remembered, these shows.

The Broadway's Lost Treasures people have been dying to include the Dreamgirls clip since the first one, but the Bennett estate won't license it to them (it apparently aired during the initial PBS showing in a couple of cities, but was quickly blocked from further broadcast). From what I've heard, John Breglio (Bennett's executor) and David Geffen (one of the heads of Dreamworks who was a producer of Dreamgirls on Broadway and the cast album and holds the rights) feel that the clip is way too special to be tossed in with a bunch of other ones on a compilation package of Tony highlights and are going to find some special way to re-introduce it to the public sometime in the near future.
My guess is that it will be used somehow to help sell the film version. I would bet that it ends up as an extra feature on the DVD.
