    Everyone is talking about Jodi's performance, as they should, but I also love the production as well. I'm a sucker for props and sets that move on their own for scene transitions (even though that was obviously a stage hand getting rid of the chair still seen from behind the curtain at this camera angle) and the chess board lights going out in segments via the musical stings near the end of the song are a nice touch.

    Veanne is an underrated actress and comedian. This role, along with playing C'inderella's step-sister, and playing Margie to Danny Burnstein in "Follies" are all supporting roles where she broke through and made them more than that. Mr. Yacko, you nail this role along with the other roles you get in a long, impressive career.

I said "You mean, Jellicle?" "Yeah, thanks" he said. Then on the next take with a day player, he said to her, "Don't be sad ,poor old Jellicle Hippo...". It was allI could do not to laugh. And watching Bob Elliott deliver a line like "Shoot me, Gladys, I'll give you a million bucks, just shoot me" was priceless.
