The talent is magnificent. With three LEGENDS of musical theatre holding hands, front and centre. Chita, Angela, Carol. All are gone now. RIP to them and Jerry Herman!
They just don't make them like this anymore. I cannot BELIEVE how well Angela Lansbury looks; it's like she never ages. What a wonderful group of talented people!
I still remember fondly singing his songs from Mame on the stage in College. What a genius and its Sooo true that he has created songs FULL of happiness, longing and in fact, has captured the American dream of neighborliness and the dream of recognition we strive for in Hello Dolly's music.
Thank you so much for posting! I teared up. Jerry Herman is an icon and the performances (even if truncated) did his tribute justice. I believe that's the Jerry Herman Tribute Choir on "I Am What I Am" and the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, DC on "The Best Of Times".
Hello Dolly- Hello Dolly It's Today- Mame Bosom Buddies- Mame Time Heals Everything- Mack and Mabel Before the Parade Passes By- Hello Dolly It Takes a Moment- Hello Dolly I Don't Want to Know- Dear World I Am What I Am- La Cage aux Folles The Best of Times- La Cage aux Folles
ELPRIMER MUSICAL QUE VI EN COLOMBIA SE LLAMABA "HELLO DOLLY"....CUANDO EN LA T.V.. COLOM BIANA ALGUIEN TENIA EL CEREBRO PARA TRANSMITIRLO.....GRACIAS POR ESE CEREBRO QUE ME DIO LA OPORTUNIDAD DE CONOCER A JERRY HERMAN.....ALGUEIN EN COLOMBIA SABE QUIEN ES JERRY HERMAN???? con lo tarado que es este pueblo, pocos!!!
such a boring and very tame salute to a brilliant composer. I usually love Rob Ashford. He usually makes productions move, but this one fell flat on too many moments. Some of it was the songs selections and the performers who sang them. This seemed more like a wink and a nod (which was what Sutton Foster did after performing in a very mediocre way (and I love Sutton Foster). There was so much wasted talent. As a whole, this seemed very unrehearsed. I saw George do Albin in the original La Cage, and the range of emotions I felt for almost every number and every performer (except the son, he was terrible) was thru the roof. To dumb down and drown out all of the emotional upliftings of a song like The Best of Times is very tragic. That song was meant to be a killer-style finale. Maybe they needed a director and choreographer as opposed to someone simply staging the show to give it the powerful, emotional, and rising up joyously thru song and dance that a Jerry Herman musical entails. Even poor Jerry at times looked bored and displeased, though putting on his best poker face since they are supposed to be celebrating him.

I love christine Baranski, Christine Ebersole, Carol Channing, Chita Rivera and Angela Lansbury

How did the stage not crumble under the weight of all that talent?
Right?!!
Stupendous!
Just the combined # of Tony Awards could cause the floor to collapse!!
Just looking at those three grand dames of Broadway, holding hands and doing what they've done for so long.
Miss Carol Channing, ladies and gentlemen!!!!
Jerry Herman had a great sense of MELODY !
Jerry Herman is brilliant, a true one of a kind.
I had the great pleasure of seeing a rivival of Mack And Mabel at the Shaw Festival in Canada. Terrific production! It should be revived more.
The loving tribute this giant so richly deserved!
Breathtaking and beautiful. What a wonderful tribute to a great man of Broadway letters!
What phenomenal music. Nothing like classic B'way.
This is 2010. Dame Angela is 85 and Carol Channing, nearly 90! Wow!
I was mesmerized by both Matthews in this video! The whole thing was fantastic though.
I still remember fondly singing his songs from Mame on the stage in College. What a genius and its Sooo true that he has created songs FULL of happiness, longing and in fact, has captured the American dream of neighborliness and the dream of recognition we strive for in Hello Dolly's music.
JERRY HERMAN IS A GENIUS , LOVE ALL HIS SONGS, ESPECIALLY "THE BEST OF TIMES"
Just because I do not think she is getting enough mentions / respect. Carol Channing is amazing.
Got to see her twice and she is amazing
Watching now April 2022 and the tribute is fantastic. 👏🙏🥰🎵🎶📽️
Love the two Christines. A stage full of Broadway Divas.
Fantastic... if one could only have written one of those songs one would be proud and what about Miss Channing... terrific
Terrific effort by all performers.

RIP Jerry Herman
They forgot to announce Dame Angela Lansbury. But how could you not know who she is? 😊
They introduced her when she came out before the musical performances to read his background (for lack of a better word) introduction.
I think Angela should have reprised her song for "I Don't Want To Know" but overall BRAVO!
Agreed!
Jesus, the security would have been insane for that show. Is their anybody who isn't there? Is that Bill T Jones next to him?
Thank you, @njreo :)
@searchingstarlight The songs are from Mame, Dear World, La Cage Aux Folles and Hello Dolly.
I can't help but feel that this performance would have been ten times better if Bea Arthur was still alive and able to sing Bosom Buddies with Angela.
What song is Laura Bennti singing and from what show?
Also, my dance teacher is dancing in this. Awesome.
Time Heals Everything, from Mack And Mabel
chita :)
what songs are these and what shows are they from?
totally awsome :)
Laura Benanti sings Time Heals Everything better than Bernadette Peters! Great Performances from the entire cast!
It's Today - Mame
@biddybooable i agree. he never loses himself. he needs to be more natural
It's called Today from Mame.
This is theatre!
was carol channing's bit cut short???
I am sure any number of the performances were shortened for television
please tell me what's the title of the song performed by Matthew at 1:51 and from musical.
It's called "It's Today" from "Mame"

@tashanewman1 Ha! Nevermind, I got it. Time Heals Everything- Mack and Mabel
@searchingstarlight And Mack and Mabel.
What kind of conductor can't find the tempo to "Bosom Buddies"???? Jeeesh.

Herman is good, but 2nd rate Jule Stein.
