Angela certainly looks as though she's enjoying her pies!

I've seen a TV ad' for Ballroom on there, which wasn't very long or very good but was still interesting to see. The link is on one of the Ballroom threads.

Here's a really good "I Love New York" spot from the '70s, including a short clip of the original cast of The Wiz. Plus casts of A Chorus Line (doesn't look like the OBC at all though) and Grease.

Yul Brynner and Constance Towers in The King and I.

Also, the sound drops out at the end, but you see glimpses of Hume and Jessica in The Gin Game, Frank Langella in Dracula and others!

Very cool

I remember seeing one of the I Love New York ads on British TV in what must have been the early 80s since it featured the cast of Cats, Sweeney and Evita (I think). It was utterly captivating to see them perform the jingle in their own different styles.

This commercial for Scarlet Pimpernel makes the show look utterly skanky!

I kinda like Percy's backdrop, though, even if it does look like something off of the cover of a sleazy romance novel.

Never really liked Glenn Carter, and always wonder what happened to Jason Pebworth, but I like this one a lot.
