The thrill of seeing Lucy live on Broadway remains with me today. The show was colorful, tuneful fun. There are quite a few memorable songs.

TV in 1960 was still black and white only, so seeing this enormous star close up, her red hair, her big eyes was a rare treat. I will check my stubs (still have them), but I think I was taken to the Alvin just after the show opened. I think some described her voice as a foghorn, but I thought she was terrific. I don’t recall if audiences did standing ovations back then.

Harper went onto create another iconic TV character that bridged two series.

UPDATE: She sang "Hey, Look Me Over" on Dinah Shore's chat show with Lucy. Kinda wonderful. Here it is. Lucy sounds just fine.

Vivian Vance made a guest appearance in a single episode of "Rhoda," Valerie Harper's hit spin-off from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Her character was a new tenant in Rhoda's apartment building. When I saw it at the time, I thought it was a brilliant idea and a gracious wink and nod to "I Love Lucy."
