Cast: Ethel Merman (Rose), Sandra Church (Louise) (1959); Angela Lansbury (Rose), Rex Robbins (Herbie), Zan Charisse (Louise), Bonnie Langford (Baby June) (1973) Notes: 11 minutes of silent Black & White 1959 rehearsal footage with different rehearsal audio overdubbed (not synched), plus an additional 60-90 seconds (depending on the rip) of colour audience cam from the actual show. About 12 minutes of 1973 footage likely shot for press/promotional purposes. |

Cast: Linda Lavin (Mama Rose), Jonathan Hadary (Herbie), Crista Moore (Louise), Tracy Verrer (June), Robert Lambert (Tulsa), Jana Robbins (Mazeppa), Anna McNeely (Electra), Barbara Erwin (Tessie Tura) Notes: RARE! This is the first replacement cast after Tyne Daly left the show. Not the full show, but about an hour and 20 minutes of mostly musical numbers. (Linda Lavinís performance was generally panned by the critics and audiences). Well filmed. Some slight generational loss. |

Beautifully captured and performances that rival the definition of musical theater. Great close-ups, some blackouts but not on the musical numbers, balcony edge can be seen sometimes, master class performances. |
