It was a reference to Hal Holbrook being a very serious actor and having pictures in his dressing of him doing Chekhov and Shakespeare "to help him get through this sitcom". Charles says "Of course it's good. Now... study 'Agamemnon'." (It's a classic Greek tragedy by Aeschylus.)

This is the one Broadway show I've ever seen. I saw the original cast when I was in high school--all the originals. I had a great high school choir teacher, who organized a trip to NYC for us. The finale just took my breath away---I'd never seen anything like it before and I wasn't the same after. Twenty-five years later, I saw Donna McKechnie perform at a benefit show, and she was still high kicking and high stepping just like always. A few later, I was invited to see the touring show by the then-current "Richie", who told me that the original "Richie" had been to see his performance and had given his approval.

I was there for this performance sheerly by luck. My grandmother had mailed away for tickets for this date and months later got a call asking if we would reconsider another night due to this performance. My grandmother, being the strong Southern woman that she was, refused because we already had tickets scheduled for other nights. From the way she told it, they tried several times to get her to move. FInally they just had to let us have the seats. I remember standing on my seat thinking that they did that EVERY night... then you did the finale the SECOND time for the TV news cameras... I was a whopping 9 years old and I remember it so well....

How did they have that many costumes for everyone???
@SHack74987 жыл бұрын
Alyce Gilbert, wardrobe supervisor for the Broadway and touring companies of the show (now longtime wardrobe supervisor for Broadway's "Wicked"), worked tirelessly gathering old costumes from storage and making many repairs to dress all these performers for this special event. Contrary to this comment I see above, the performers from different companies around the world did not wear the costumes from those current productions. In fact, those people would have still been performing in those productions, wherever they may have been, and not participated in this gala performance. All the costumes here were those worn in the New York Shakespeare Festival's production of the show. When Alyce handed me my finale costume at the Shubert for this, I was thrilled... and also excited to be told that no one had worn it since I'd left the show a couple years prior.

I've seen the play 5 times, but always here in Atlanta at the Fox Theater. I've never seen this clip before and did not know there was this special evening. Fabulous video. It moves me to tears. Always has, but I don't know why. I guess it because I would have given anything to be in this show---anywhere, anyplace, even a small local community theater production. Just to learn the choreography would be thrilling. Truly, it is the best finale of a Broadway musical.

I just read the book "A Chorus Line and the Musicals of Michael Bennett" and in the back glossary, it catalogued everything he did that was on audio or video. It mentioned this particular performance. It also said that there was in someone's private collection a 15 minute video of the final Broadway performance of Follies (1971) which I also didn't know existed. I am sure one of the authors or their heirs has possession of the original material.
