| Oddly, although the audience laughs at other points, they don't laugh when she hits the big note on "shy" on the linked performance from the Gary Moore Show from a month after the Phoenix opening. Nor do they laugh on the 1964 telecast, where they laugh more generally. Probably they laugh more on the 1964 telecast because everything is in context, and honestly Burnett, Bova and White all seem better, perhaps because they'd learned a lot during the original run. And all had probably just learned a lot generally speaking by then. Not that they're not terrific in 1959. Of course, the fact that Burnett was a big comedy star in 1964 may have made a difference, too, in terms of the audience response. It does seem possible that the "shy" note is just too loud for us to hear audience laughter, but I think we would hear something if the audience laughed. |
