Agree that it was a major treat. Having seen the original, I recall thinking at the time that Jerry Orbach gave one of the greatest musical theater performances I had ever seen. Time hasn't changed that assessment. Would love to see a recreation of his "Basketball" number. I remember it being a showstopper, but details are fuzzy 50 years later.

Orbach was amazing. I know Santino could be equally wonderful if they did a full production with him.

I didn't think Sean Hayes was up to the task and if I recall correctly Ashford ruined the number by having dancers join Hayes for Basketball. But then Ashford also ruined Turkey Lurkey Time.

At Encores I don't remember how Martin Short did the song but he was good as Chuck. And Rob Marshall did fine with Turkey Lurkey.
