Nice to see the clip when he hadn't extended the cane bit to ten minutes - he was brilliant on B'way, but on tour stuff got longer and longer and longer. I was there at his first performance and the audience went crazy for him and he was genuinely taken aback by it.
When Hellzapoppin was to be revived on Broadway in the 1970s, Jerry took a strong dislike to co-star Lynn Redgrave which was documented in a scathing New York Magazine article. The show closed out of town and never made it to Broadway.
