Amanda Green shared this on Facebook to celebrate her Dad's birthday and I intended to watch just a few minutes but was enraptured!

I actually saw this live and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing it on YouTube.

I use to have this on VHS.

I LOVE "You Can Always Catch Our Act at the Met" from Two on the Aisle.

Comden and Green wrote a great line for Bert Lahr in that show when he was dressed as Queen Victoria.

"What Helen Hayes and Irene Dunne, I have also did."

Lena Horne was originally set to co-star with Bert Lahr, but it turned out to be Delores Gray instead. However, when Betty sings "Catch Our Act at the Met," she does a terrific imitation of Lena Horne..

Jerome Robbins originally invited Comden and Green to do West Side Story

I saw this on Broadway a thousand years ago and it was delightful.  I remember it ending with The Party's Over, which was as perfect a song choice as could be imagined.  You left the theatre feeling elated and sad at the same time.  A cherished memory.
