    Just to clarify for anyone wondering: there is no color correction or filtering applied to this video. That’s all costumes and makeup. So many audible gasps in the theater when the lights came up. This performance was a joy to see live.

      I like to think of anything above 95, or anything that moves me or pulls me out of my chair as a gold medal performance. On the one hand competition is good for driving excellence, on the other it minimizes the high level of artistry in the to 2 or 3+ groups.

All of them were movie stars when movies were only done in black and white, and then transitioned to color; that's why the bit of color at the end of their set.
