Who has your favorite Muzzy been? Pamela Issacs, Sheryl Lee Ralph, or Leslie Uggams? I can't answer this because I have only seen Pamela. She was good.

My favorite Muzzy was Oscar nominee Carol Channing.

Hands DOWN!

I saw Sheryl Lee Ralph twice, and Leslie Uggams once, and Leslie didn't hold a candle to Sheryl. Sheryl had this knockout voice and magnificent stage presence, and she was hysterical- Leslie didn't get that many laughs out of me.

"Was Carol Muzzy in the movie?"

Yikes, I feel like Hume Cronyn.


Yes, Carol was Muzzy von Hossmere in the movie. Replete with tap dancing on a xylophone.

And an Oscar nomination to boot! Truly a daffy, brilliant performance that takes any saccharine out of the 'Green Glass' speech. Plus, she's shot out of a cannon in a gold lame cat suit!

And don't forget the acrobatic moves Rasberries

Carol Channing was/is the best Muzzy.
But if we only get to choose from the Broadway version, then Sheryl was my favorite.

I didnt see Sheyrl I saw Leslie, Pamela, and Terry Burrell....Leslie was the best out of what I saw

Carol was also a Golden Globe winner, Best Supporting Actress, and was shot out of a cannon.

Well, the stunt person was shot out of a cannon.

The characterization of Muzzy in the show of Millie was the biggest void from the unsurpassable performance and conception of the film.

Vive la Carol.

I like Leslie Uggams. She was so darned cute in the final scene where she desses as a modern.

I was giggling just at the title of this thread. Now I am laughing remembering Carol in that gold lame outfit.

I saw CHRISTINE EBERSOLE play it in an early workshop and she was better than any of the Broadway ladies.

Another vote for Carol Channing.

I loathed the movie and Carol Channing, both the movie and her performance worked were grating to my nerves.

I love Sheryl Lee Ralph.

Darn, I thought this was about those foreign language tapes for children.

Sheryl Lee Ralph can't sing and she can't act. Leslie Uggams has trouble with the second song, but she is cute and has a good voice.

I hope Leslie is better than Sheryl, because Sheryl was pretty horrible as an actress. And Leslie Uggams has been sensational in everything else I have seen her in.
