Ed Sullivan Broadway Clips — Page 2

Thank you SO much for posting this wonderful site. Can you tell me please if there's anyway you can blow the clip up to full screen like you can on You Tube? Thanks in advance!

Gypsy thanks for that--I'm very familiar with Little Me being such a big Coleman and even bigger Fosse fan but never reealized why it wasn't a bigger hit considering how much everyone seems to have liked the original production (it's had several problems being revived I do know)--makes sense now.

It is too bad some important shows like Gypsy never were on the show (we get flops like Iilya Darling but not some major ones which is always odd--and many fot he major ones are replacement casts--I suppose they didn't think Carol Channign in Dolly or Babs in FunnY Girl needed any tv promotion)

Oh, my, God, the "whip dance" from "Destry Rides Again"!!!!

I wonder how many little gay boys in the '50's got strangely excited watching it...

There's a bit of camp heaven. Anita Gillette sing "Empty Pockets Full of Love" from "Mr. President" with herself.

And it's a neat song!

LOL Both those Destry clips really show how remarkable Michael Kidd's choreography could be--even with so so material. Striking

I have just spent 4 hours watching the video clips from many of the shows that I saw or wanted to see in the 1950's and 1960's. What a great trip down memory lane. I ended up with the wonderful Lucille Ball singing "Hey, Look Me Over" from WILDCAT. I'll come back for more later. The only disappointment was Tammy Grimes singing "I Aint Down Yet" in a "re-staged" version of the wonderful opening number of the UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN. Why they messed around with the best number from the show is beyond me. But everything else I saw was memorable. Thanks again JohnBoy2 for introducing us to Show Clips.

I adore this site!

It's like porn for show queens!

I spent four hours watching it last night.

Seeing Susan Johnson and Karen Morrow performing in their prime.

It's Heaven.

And seeing "Turkey Lurkey Time" (not with Donna McKechnie because it was to celebrate it's first year on Broadway and she'd already left to do "Company"). After wards Ed calls the three lead dancers over and they're standing there smiling and panting like racehorses!

seeing Barbara Harris in action is like finding the pot of gold @ the end of the rainbow!!!!!

The lead dancer in the Ed Sullivan Show clip of "Turkey Lurkey Time" is Margo Sappington -- one of the original 3 ladies from the original Broadway cast. She replaced Donna McKechnie in the role of Miss De La Hoya. Baayork Lee was still there in her original spot, and I have no clue who that afro-licious black dancer is.

Also, the clip of Barbara Harris in THE APPLE TREE can be found on the 3-DVD set of BROADWAY LOST TREASURES, as well as that long one from COCO and several others.

Though YouTube.com features a large chunk of gems (mine included), this guy holds the honor of being the ONLY site to allow those legendary clips from THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW which are quickly removed from YouTube.com.

As Eric mentioned, I can only imagine what kinda site we'd both create if both our collections were combined. We'd be giving the Lincoln Center Archives a 'run for their lives' moment.

Sorry, that was Steve Allen, not Ed Sullivan. Bad memory.
