DANG... they were good.
This brought back good memories of some brilliantly talented people.

Yeah, they're good, but your thread title makes no sense.

Only to people who don't know the song or the show.

So, I guess that would be you.

Yeah, the title's perfect, if you know the show.

I believe Debra Monk tells a story of how their Tony Award performance immediately followed Jennifer Holliday's famous performance of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." Now that would be a tough act to follow.

Lord, I need a vacation.... like nobody's business.

(Now I have to go dig out my old vinyl collection. Thanks for reminding me about this great show.)

It's a great show, and a great song! Perfect for this time of year.

And Cass Morgan kicks butt on that opening setup.

Ooh. Thank you. I have been wanting to see footage from PUMP BOYS.

This is the only vinyl record that I own, but have no means to listen to it. I'd imagine it to be fun! Thanks for sharing

They might not have been Jennifer Holliday, but it was a great, great show.
