I am privileged to have seen the original broadway production with a lady who had taken me under her wing [and got the tickets through her connections] . After the show we went to a piano bar in Greenwich Village where Joel Grey was being lionised. What a wonderful evening.

He sang 'Give My Regards' again on his 90th birthday in front of Cohan's statue in Times Square.

They should do a revival of this musical.

With whom?

Saw him twice in George M! during its Kenley Players run in Ohio. He was incomparable.

It truly was a delight! I agree! When I saw it he did something interesting. Toward the end when you think it is over, they go into a medley of other songs that Cohen wrote. At that point, quite an older couple started to leave, I imagine to not have to fight the crowd when they left. At that point, Grey broke character and told them they didn't want to leave as there were some more great songs that he didn't wasn't them to miss. Some people wouldn't have appreciated him breaking character. I thought it was nice that he didn't let them miss the nice medley at the end. Hard to imagine anyone else except Gray or Cagney getting it right!

Saw Him At the Palace ,on Broadway in Summer of 68, at 12 Years old. They Don't Make them Like that Any more ! Thank You Joel Grey...

So did I. I was 20 then. I remember it was a Saturday matinee - 7th row, Center Orchestra!!

He was so splendid in that role. I had the pleasure to see him do the role. That was even better!

Il est excellent ! 👌 il ressemble beaucoup à notre compatriotes français, M. Maurice Chevallier 👍💝🇺🇸👑🇫🇷👍👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

So this is what Chuin was doing while Remo was fighting for his life on the Statue of Liberty.

It's C-O-H-A-N, not Cohen.

Our American lover ❤️

Hopefully Ireland gets a chance to experience one their very famous Irish american performers.George m Cohan.

Love Grey in Cabaret. Cohen will always mean Cagney. Now let me go watch "off the record" on youtube.

Amazing...

This is vaguely reminiscent of his TV version of George M. Did anybody besides me see that?

I Did, way back. A True Blast from the Past !

He wasn't channeling Cagney, which made it his own.

...with Gene Kelly, of course !❤️👍🇺🇸👑🇫🇷

Very good audio transmission. A perfect case of great lip-synching.

Not lip synched. Microphone on his tie.

He should have kept his original nose.

He had a nose job?

I can't stand Joel Grey. He's got none of the warmth and charm of either Cagney or Cohan. The entire hook of "George M!" was that the real Cohan was an a-hole behind the scenes. This theory was based on the feud between Actor's Equity and Cohan after they called a general strike which shut down his shows. In reality, Cohan was one of the nicest people a Broadway actor could work with. He was generous and mentored other actors (Spencer Tracy) who became famous in their own right. In Cohan's own words, "If they'd told me 'we're going to bring down your shows, but we don't mean you', it would've made all the difference."
