| When Judy Kaye was hired for ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, she was hired as Agnes the dresser of Lily Garland. and was asked by Harold Prince to be the understudy for Madeline Kahn. She did not want to be anyone's understudy but it was Harold Prince who talked her into it. He had a feeling. it was a little more than two months when she took over the lead. He was right. She continued with the show for the run and did the national tour with Rock Hudson in the the role of Oscar Jaffee. The show opened on February 19th, 1978 and Judy took over April 24th. Many years later in 1987 she did a bus and truck company of the show with Frank Gorshin and Imogene Coca from the orginal cast. On tis tour, she met her husband David Green who was also in the show. She refers to this as the bus and truck company to hell, but she did get a husband from this. I saw her in the orginal and went out to Delaware to see the tour. |
