| She gave a similar one in '83 in Chicago. Delightful. | |

| Here's Carol giving a similar speech in this news footage from her 1983 "Dolly!" tour, in her home town of San Francisco. And there's a special guest in the audience. Go to 6:10 in the link below: | |

| I wonder what the special guest thought about her curtain speech? | |

| I saw her three times, between 1973 (Lorelei) and 1995 (Dolly), and she always gave a speech. In 1980, she was in Boston with Robert Morse doing the tour of Sugar Babies. She came downstage to talk about how "Bobby and I" were thrilled to be seeing America with the show. Actually, Bobby, who was standing way upstage with the rest of the company, didn't look a bit thrilled. | |

| He was probably still upset that he was billed below the title. As a Tony winner with as much stage time in that show as the female lead, I don't know if his agent was bad or if Carol's was better. | |

| At the time, I felt that the production had been turned into The Carol Channing Show, with Morse very much in the role of second banana. It didn't make much sense; burlesque comedy was all about the men. In any case, Morse didn't seem too happy about being there. I do treasure the memory of Channing singing "I'm in the Mood for Love," with birds flying in and landing over her. | |
