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 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."

Posted: 12/4/20 at 1:44pmLena 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..

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.
