Kaye Ballard, Donna McKechnie, and Roberta Peters perform "Sing for Your Supper" from The Boys From Syracuse

The vocal arrangement of this song is legendary but I like that they preserve it here while still finding a way to put their own spin on it.

"Turkey Lurkey Time," Cast of Promises, Promises

Yes! Waited all year to post this one. The legendary Donna McKechnie, the amazing Julane Stites and Baayork Lee, and the company of the show leave nothing in the locker room. You could power a small city with the energy generated on this stage (although, apparently, you couldn't get the deadass audience out of its seats when it ended).

I'm not prone to hyperbole, which I should've said more hyperbolically, but this, choreo'd by Michael Bennett, is one of the best dance numbers in any stage musical I've seen.

Cold Cases and Unresolved Mysteries: Olivia Corey

On the evening of January 22, 1970, award winning Broadway actress Olivia Corey mysteriously disappeared while visiting Collinsport, a small town in Northern Maine. Although two brutal murders occurred in the town the same week, no evidence suggest she was also murdered. According to police reports, Corey simply vanished with all her belonging.
