I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed Juliet Prowse in MAME back in the early 1990s. A national tour. And how nice to hear a full orchestra in the pit. It's Today!
Fantastic costume. But I'm curious. Wid women (other than women in drag or women in some forms of manual labor)) wear pants in the 20s? Hepburn and Dietrich, of course, famously wore pants in the 30s, but were there fashionable pants garments like this before then? Moreover, this particular outfit is very 60s.
WOW! I actually remember seeing that. My mom took me out of school (I think I was a freshman or sophomore in high school) for a mid-week matinee at the Carpenter Center in Richmond, VA and we did lunch and the show with my grandma. It was the first time I had seen the show performed and I absolutely loved it. Good memories. Thanks for posting that, morosco!

Hey Matty, that's where I saw it too. Carpenter Center in Richmond, VA. Was working there then. Still working there as a matter of fact! :)
Watching that clip proves to me that we really don't have anyone who'd be right for a Mame revival today. Very few actresses have the... well whatever it is... the "it" to pull it off. They must completely command the stage and have the audience eating out of their hands.
