    This makes me so sad that there isn’t a full-length video preserved of this amazing musical. I got to see it once in San Francisco in the early 1990’s. Not the original Broadway cast, but still a pretty great production.

    I wish there was a full version of the official Broadway performance online, I wish I could've seen it live so bad because the plot of the whole thing is just so creative and I feel like so many plays follow a somewhat predictable path that can fall into a few categories today but this just stands out to me so much. (If anybody had a link to more performances by the original cast itd be greatly appreciated)

      You and me both. I would LOVE to see the original cast in the roles. Aurora Spiderwoman has several clips if you haven't seen those.

    About two minutes into this, after a little bit of contextual dialogue the song 'You are nothing without me' begins. It's one of multiple very cleverly scripted numbers in this show.

    Excellent performance, and I’m glad that this video exists. But I’m not sure what it has to do with Billy Wilder. I guess the film noir connection?

    It's great to have this as a document of that underappreciated show. It's an odd, sort of back-door choice for the subject at hand though.

    Thank you for posting this video. I remember watching it when it originally aired and thinking that it was the greatest musical theater performance I'd ever seen. I have looked for it before and was never able to find it again, until now. Decades later, I still think it is one of the best live musical moments of all time.

      Regarding Broadway performances, I so much want to see the play in its entirety but must be happy with the bits and pieces that are available. I love these performances as well!

    By any chance did you record Santino Fontana and Julie Halston's piece. I thought they were hilarious, but I missed the beginning.
