re Jerry Orbach, yes he was. I saw that show and Anita Gillette was Sarah Brown, Sheila MacCrae was Adelaide. Alan King was Nathan I think Tom Pedi who was in the orig, recreated his role. This is all I remember off hand. Tonights show was spectacular, the audience loved every minute. Len Cariou brought the house down with "More I Cannot Wish You" and had the longest applause of the night, well deserved. Judy Kaye in a non singing role was wonderful and Patrick Wilson was a dream. I sat next to Cynthia Harris who also thought he was a dream. Nathan Lane recreating his Broadway revival r role was more into it today than on Broadway. John Treacy Egan as Nicely-Nicely Johnson rocked the place with "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat. Lots of connections, two weeks ago I saw THREE PENNY OPERA and the next day HAPPY END, both Kurt Weill ... HAPPY END was about these Gamblers one of which gets involved with the Salvation Army and one of the ladies.... almost the idea of Frank Loesser's GUYS AND DOLLS and this weekend I am seeing MOST HAPPY FELLA, also Loesser. Ran into Jo Loesser who is having a week....
