Excellent! 👏 At least they received the applause their film counterparts inexplicably didn't. 😂

This is unreal! Didn’t expect this performance to be nearly that great!

The more similar the movie! Perfect!

@AvaJaneKelly O'Connor came to a rehearsal and said it wasn't possible to do Make 'em Laugh live. Well he was partially right....I did it and sprained both ankles after 2 months. We cut Cosmo doing the flips and worked it so the other 'workers' in the number did the back flips off the wall......

Yep - sure they would have been pleased - excellent results and the other videos from the same production - thanks for posting them - very encouraging.

This is incredible - to do this, LIVE!! I mean, Kelly and Connors didn’t have that kind of pressure. Amazing!!

Yes lads!!!! Smashed it!!!

Wow amazing!!!

Great job!!!!

Top notch!!!!!!!!!

🤣great

Fantastic job. No way to compare it with Kelly and O'Connor as who knows how many takes they did to get the perfect one on the film and their tap work was amplified AND they weren't singing at the same time. Not that Kelly and O'Connor weren't superior performers in any case; you just can't make any comparisons by the two presentations of this number.

you are correct sir. We did it live 8 shows a week, no cuts, no edits, no dubbing!

i am amazed, this is an incredible job well done!

thanks! it was brutal but fun 8 times/week, no dubbing or editing....plus ALL the other numbers in the same performance!

This is really good

Great performance but probably not anyone could equal the original. Gene and Donald were the real unique masterclass. I've never seen such a perfect shuffle.

This is amazing to me! In the movie Gene Kelly and Donald O Connor didn't actually sing, they danced to playback. These guys had to do the chorography, and belt out the song while wearing mics which can really boadcast breathing issues!

Absolutely correct. The taps and singing all pre-recorded, plus edits---it took over a week to shoot some numbers. 2 weeks for Make 'em laugh! We did all the numbers live and straight through every performance

@Spudforth Not to mention no cuts and all the other numbers in the show....8 times a week!

real is this

@marxps !! Hey! If you're Peter Marx, the guy who played Cosmo- did the sound guy take mercy and turn off your mics when the singing part was over; so you could breathe?

Excellent performance, but as noted earlier, they had a tough act to emulate.

They were AMAZING.....But: They didn't do it live. They didn't sing or have to get the taps out cleanly while shooting. That was pre-recorded. They didn't do the number all the way through each time - it was made up of many edits over a period of more than a week!

@@marxps It was shot in a day and a half, not a week. Singing was pre-recorded, taps are dubbed (by the performers themselves) afterward, both for the same reason- logistics of production and sound quality. Recording live on a set for movie musicals is such a bad idea, I can't believe people bought into that gimmick after the awful Les Mis film.

@@trinityj1 well according to Donald O’Connor, who sat next to me during our tech rehearsal, it took 4days to shoot, then another 4 when Kelly came to him snd said “we didn’t get it all”. Not sure if you got your facts from one of the stars on set or not, but I did…so….
