    The BBC sound engineers just don't get any recognition. Perfect balance and cover of the available sound spectrum, not mention the voice/orchestra to mic distance. Nothing is missed. Thanks Guys.

    Anna Jane Casey is not only a fantastic performer she is one of the nicest, friendliest people I have ever met in this business. I absolutely adore her and she deserves SO much more recognition than she gets. A true star.

    Every once in a while I have to watch this piece. John Wilson at his best. The biggest smile he gets when he sees the audience cheering and clapping is self pride. Great orchestra and amazing vocals and lets not forget the amazing tap dancers. Slightly mean but the best part is when the old couple get a fright when the dancers are coming towards them, they missed out on a great encore. Brilliant piece

    I had a minor stroke about 4 years ago. I was in the hospital for recovery, and they sent me over to the neurology department for treatment. The neurologist was asking me how I was doing and if I had any questions. I looked at him straight faced and asked him if I was ever going to be able to tap dance again? He looked at me, kind of puzzled and said, "Well..." His voice trailing off. Then I said, "That's great. I wasn't able to tap dance before." He smiled and chuckeled.

    God, is she talented... and a whole level higher than the tap dancing chorus. Look at the elegance and effortlessness of her arms when she's tapping. Notice that bit of choreo at 3:11 and following. They do the same move three times but it's one beat later each time. I'd call that inventive.

    I was in the gallery up at the top of the RAH that night and can't put into words just how amazing the evening was. This was the final number and wasn't in the program so, although anyone who had ever seen The John Wilson Orchestra before would have known something special was coming as an encore, it clearly was a bit of a surprise for the old couple leaving their seats and being caught out on the stairs :-) Anna Jane Casey is amazing as were the dancers who joined her and the truly fantastic John Wilson Orchestra. The smiles of those taking part in the performance are merely a reflection of those on the face of every member of the audience that night. Thanks for posting the video

    FANTASTIC ! What a routine, and a marvellous show stopping number from the pen of wonderful Jerry Herman. What a shout of joy and acclamation from the audience at the end, the orchestra are all beaming and applauding and even John Wilson momentarily looks overwhelmed by the reaction. John Wilson is an institution in his own right what he is doing for show and film music and bringing it right back centre stage of musical enjoyment - I can see someone becoming Sir John quite soon, not since the days of Sir Malcolm Sargent have we had a conductor with mass audience appeal. And modest with it !!! This clip is a tonic for the darkest day.

The UK audience along with their European cousins, are the most appreciative audience ever! Broadway is now silent due to the pandemic, and no one knows if it will open up again.
