    Paula Kelly wasn't given the flowers she deserved while she was still here to receive them. What a talent. You can't take your eyes off her, no matter who she shared a stage with. RIP to the legendary & iconic Miss. Kelly!❤

    Four phenomenal talents all linked by my favourite musical, sweet charity. Great clip and one of the only reasons I’d want to live in the 1960s and 70s.

    You can definitely see the two Fosse dancers stand out in this choreography.

      They’re all “Fosse dancers” Helen Gallagher was in the original run of sweet charity on Broadway. Paula Kelly did the London run and the Film and Gwen Verdon. Donna McKechnie made her Broadway debut in a Fosse show. So they’re all “Fosse dancers”

    They are all unique and interesting and highly accomplished performers. I found this youtube searching for Helen Gallagher (who was my musical theater teacher in NYC) Helen WOWED me here. Just a phenomenal dancing/singing number from all of these ladies.

    Helen Gallagher has been in the biz just shy of eighty years (Broadway debut in 1944) and is still teaching acting at HB Studio in NYC. Two Tony awards and three -Emmies- Emmys kind of qualifies her for that gig.
    Happy (almost) 97th birthday Helen!

      @@sewgatormomm Helen Gallagher was 47, Verdon, 48. Both Kelly and Mckechnie 31. Dancers are athletes as well as artists and that’s a big difference. Gwen 4 Tonys and Gallagher 2. Gwen Verdon of course most closely associated with Bob Fosse and widely considered the greatest Broadway’s female dancer. Helen Gallagher danced for George Balanchine, Agnes DeMille, Jerome Robbins, Gower Champion as well as Bob Fosse and you don’t think they can dance? BTW Donna also great talent and Tony Award winner for “A Chorus Line”

      Paula Kelly was a phenomenal talent and very under appreciated, but damn you’re talking about Gwen Verdon, Donna McKechnie and Helen Gallagher! They are some of the finest dancers ever to perform on a Broadway stage. Just enjoy and appreciate the fact that they’re all together, looking like they’re having the best time.
