    Christine Baranski has the charm that any line dropped by her could make the audience laugh. Sometimes, it is not about the writing but her personal whimsy hanging there with her demeanors and expressions.

      That's true, but this is also a brilliantly written scene, the way she keeps insisting "I'm not a pickup" while maneuvering everything in exactly that direction. It may be the funniest scene Neil Simon wrote, and she handles every line superbly.

    And a fact can be a beautiful thing
    When the fact I'm facin' is you
    A fact can be a terrible thing
    When the dreams you've been dreaming fall through
    Forget the past
    And think about the present
    Right now is everything
    Forget the past
    And think about the present
    The present's very pleasant
    Who cares what the future will bring?
    There's just no predicting a thing
    Don't wait for a miracle
    Because it's Christmas
    Not a time to be
    Alone with memories
    Christmas
    It's supposed to be a happy holiday
    Throw a little joy my way
    You could really make my day
    Throw a little joy my way
    And a fact can be a beautiful thing
    When I see what I'm seein' in you
    A fact can be a wonderful thing
    When your hopes to be happy come true
    What's gone is gone
    And don't you ever doubt it
    Wake up and start to live
    What's gone is gone
    So learn to live without it
    And never think about it
    Who cares what the future will bring?
    There's just no predicting a thing
    Don't wait for a miracle
    Because it's Christmas
    Not a time to be
    Alone with memories
    Christmas
    It's supposed to be a happy holiday
    Throw a little joy my way
    Do we really have to stay?
    Throw a little joy my way
    Throw a little joy my way
    Do we really have to stay?
    Throw a little joy my way
    Because it's Christmas
    Just the perfect day for us to
    Dance and sing
    Christmas
    It's supposed to be a happy holiday
    Happy holiday
    So throw a little joy my way
    Who cares what the future will bring?
    There's just no predicting a thing
    Don't wait for a miracle
    Don't wait for a miracle
    Don't wait for a miracle
    Don't wait for a miracle

    At 6:48, Marty goes a little bit overboard with his..umm..handling of Christine. Her reaction is priceless.

    I know the circumstances are completely different then the current production on Broadway, but Katie Finneran was so much more hysterical then Christine Baranski, who I do adore. She was the best ten minutes in the whole show!!!

    • @nonenoneonenonenone
      @nonenoneonenonenone 5 років тому +1

      She also totally overplayed the scene and killed Sean Hayes who was totally underplaying it and totally overwhelmed by her over-acting.

    This would have made a better Broadway transfer production than the 2010 revival did. That revival, like so many nowadays, felt a need to make some idiotic book revisions, in that case switching the setting from late 60s to early 60s which isn't the right time frame for these things and also set up the dumbest book rewrite line in the history of musical theater. Whereas in the original, his invitation to Fran is meet him at "the new Garden, the old one's been torn down" in the revival we get a request to meet him at "the old Garden, the new one hasn't been built yet."
