| I believe that "What's A Nice Kid Like You Doin' In A Place Like This" was written for an animated Television version of "Alice In Wonderland." It was broadcast sometime in the mid-60s and while I don't remember much about the show I have never forgotten the song. Sammy Davis, Jr., as the Cheshire Cat, voiced it. I had no idea Kander and Ebb had written it. UPDATE: According to IMDB, it was written by Charles Strouse and Lee Adams so maybe Kaye sang a different song with the same title? Kaye Ballard is a treasure! I look forward to seeing this documentary. |

| the ' nice kid 'must be a different song with the same title----,lines like "it aint nice to see/ a lady like me/singin in a broken down bar." and. spoken ," Al, This band should just disband." it's for a gal singer on the bandstand. ......I finally got to see Miss Ballard in the cast as a replacement in PIRATES of Penzance(other 'replacements, were Treat Williams, Maureen McGovern. Robbie Benson- But George Rosed was still the Poppa | |

| Rex Reed made a mistake in the documentary saying Kaye was so good but "not even nominated for the Tony." She would not have been eligible, since she was a replacement in the cast you saw. She had high praise for Robby Benson. | |

| Rex Reed make a mistake? Could never happen. :) Seriously, I was really surprised that in Broadway: The Golden Age they left in his ridiculous statement about Cole Porter writing the score of Kiss Me, Kate on the train to New Haven (or did he say Philadelphia?). |
