I've never been much of a Sandy Duncan fan, but she puts this number to bed! Her singing is wonderful, but her dancing is unbelievable. She is animated, alive and open. Just perfect in this role.
GOOD NEWS is such an underrated musical that needs to be revived!!! This show holds a very special place in my heart. It was one of the first full scale musicals that I ever performed in at school. It's one I would love to revisit and reprise performing all those beloved songs.
I love Bernie...she is such a treasure. Never disappoints!
Whenever I hear The Varsity Drag I think of the 1947 movie Good News with June Allyson (1917 - 2006) and Peter Lawford (1923 - 1984) ... tough act to follow, but Sandy gave a fantastic performance ...
sandy duncan is so damn talented. my gosh. amazing!!!!
Bobby Van was a great and sadly underrated talent.
Thanks you said it better love Bobby van
Sandy Duncan doing The Varsity Drag!!! I'm in love...
Her partner is her husband, Don Correia.
People forget Sandy Duncan, God rest her soul, was a Broadway star. Did anyone catch the late John Tesh, God rest his soul, in the chorus?
Shame we lost Bobby too soon
Omg that dancing! No wonder they're all so thin :)
This is a great posting. I mean it's the late, great Bobby Van with one of my favorites Bernadette Peters. What year is this? What is it from?
+Sunny Stalter-Pace It is the 1979 PBS special MUSICAL COMEDY TONIGHT...it also featured numbers from ANYTHING GOES, OKLAHOMA, and COMPANY
+Paul Duca Thanks!
I love Bobby Van!
None other than John Tesh as one of the chorus boys dancing behind Sandy Duncan.
Wow, you're right! I had no idea he was a dancer before hosting ET.
@@lorivingot5495 he wasn't. He was a reporter for WCBS in New York. It seemed that he also knew how to dance.
BOBBY VAN DIED SO YOUNG..................
indeed, so sad!
Is this performance for a special event or charity fundraiser of some sort because I can’t find any information via google about this performance?
It is so great though!
Musical Comedy Tonight is a serious attempt to explain just how the American musical grew up. The show's host and creator, Sylvia Fine Kaye, is a songwriter (for her husband Danny) and a teacher (at the University of Southern California and Yale). Her TV special is a canny amalgam of entertainment and history. She proves a funny and charismatic hostess!
