Summary: What a buy.....
Review: I had seen the show on PBS, but I didn't tape it. I've had it in the back of my mind for all these years, so when I found it I ordered it immediately. The show is just superb. Carol Channing as always is delightful, Leslie Uggams is outstanding in "If He Walked Into My Life," the song "Take It All Off" by the chorus girls, and I don't have the tape right here, but the gentleman who sings "Song Of The Sand" leaves you humming the rest of the day. Also I'd like to recommend the music p/v/g book that has all of the movie in it, THE JERRY HERMAN SONGBOOK (it is also avalable at this site). It makes a great collection. BUY IT!

Summary: Hello Jerry, Hello Carol, Wonderful Video!
Review: I saw this on PBS several years ago and I taped it. Unfortunately they had audio trouble on one orchestral medley. I saw it here and ordered it immediately. It's wonderful. Carol Channing gives a hilarious introduction. There is an international Dolly who sing Hello Dolly! the way it would be done in other countries and a "Hello, Deli" and Hello,Lyndon" and of course the original Dolly, Carol Channing. Davis Gaines sings Song on the Sand beautifully. This is a gorgeous song and gorgeously done. Ditto to Leslie Uggams' rendition of If He Walked Into My Life. Marvelous! These are my two favorites and I listen to them/watch them over and over again. Lee Roy Reams does marvelous imitations of Louis Armstrong, Carol, and Pearl Bailey and Marlene Dietrich and Mae West on La Cage Aux Folles. Love It Only Takes a Moment and many of the others.Only wish that the whole song would have been sung. I have seen the sheet music and some is left out in the movie and play and I have sung it in its entirety. Lovely sentiment in that song and beautiful melody. Jerry Herman is truly a talent as Carol proclaims,"When God was passing out talent, Jerry got in line twice." He wrote the words and music to all the songs.Buy this! You won't be sorry. I am considering buying it for a gift. I would love to have a copy of just the audio too, but can't figure out if there is one available. Regardless, if you love great Broadway music and Jerry Herman musicals, you will love this!

Summary: Michael Feinstein & Others Salute Jerry Herman!
Review: Jerry Herman is about the most successful Broadway composer today. He writes from the heart, and is extraordinarily versatile. From MAME and HELLO DOLLY (both about Southern belles) to other songs with women's names, like 'Marianne' he gets a little silly sometimes.
He plays a mean piano, like my favorite performer Michael Feinstein. They collaborated on a CD along about the time MF did his whimsical PURE IMAGINATION. It has the same rhyme and rhythm and Mike was in good vocal form. He's mellowed some now but at the top in every way. His favorite of Jerry Herman is 'I Won't Send Roses' which he included on others of his CDs.

Review: Originally viewed on A&E years ago, I had the good fortune to video tape this rousing salute to one of Broadways Best! That tape is worn out from playing over and over and over! All star cast (Carol Channing, Bea Arthur, Rita Moreno, George Hern, Leslie Uggams, Lorna Luft, Karen Morrow - the list goes on & on). Rita Moreno does a show stopping number "Tap, Tap Your Troubles Away" - This is a composite of Broadway at its best, celebrating the funny, inspirational and tearful compositions of the genius that is Jerry Herman!
