The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

This dance should be an Olympic sport.
I played the girl in the blur dress London 69/70 and I now have permanent neck ache
One thing about this stands out: EVERYbody was in motion to some extent.
Easily one of THE most spectacular performances that this show ever broadcast in its near 25-year history.
That choreography still SHINES like a diamond!
Can you believe it LOST the best choreography Tony to George M??? A forgotten musical while Promises Promises has endured.
This could qualify for the greatest thing I’ve ever seen on a screen.
The figure 8 at the end is so iconic. This is one of my favorite musical theatre dance numbers of all time.
Tis the season y’all. This is my millionth time watching!
For those who don't know who these ladies are and it would seem many people don't... They are, Baayork Lee (Green dress), Julie Stites (red dress) and Barbara Alston (blue dress).
Hm, someone below points out that the replacement for Donna M is Lada Edmund, and I think he/she is right. Different facial features than Julane.
Gotta point out that Kelly Bishop is still killing it in the ensemble, though!
@@LAPhil13 thank you for confirming for me that Kelly is still up there. Can you likewise confirm that she's the one standing onstage in a white tunic blouse and not the one standing on a desk? I have watched the various videos of this number and can never see clearly enough of those two is Bishop.
@@tejaswoman , yup. She's on the floor, and you can see her right between Miss Wong and Miss Della Hoya in the final "Jingle Bells" moves. She's also very clear at the opening, sitting on the desk to the right of the guy announcing the entertainment. And she was still going by "Carole Bishop" at this time.
Barbara Alston I think was also a Hullabaloo dancer.
Absolutely fantastic chills watching this in 2022!!!
The lead dancer was GETTING HER LIFE in that number!!!!!!!!
Is there anything more holiday joyous than this? This song should be a holiday tradition.
Julia stites at the end during the jingle bells part is spectacular!!!!
Also one of the best songs Bacharach ever wrote with Hal David - it's so ridiculous but you can't stop smiling throughout - but it's also canny: the energy of the song along with Michael Bennett's deceptively simple 'looking' (it is neither simple technically nor simple looking on second analysis) High Octane 'Hullaballo' choreography has one of the most incredible builds in Broadway production number history. Dazzling.
Listen, I discovered this number from a WatchMojo list and I’m OBSESSED. I’ve watched it so many times.
just absolute genius, so late 60s its ridiculous. amazing. could listen/watch it on a loop
I love this thing so much, no matter who does it. It’s completely bonkers, and apparently the producers had a chiropractor on retainer for the dancers during the run.
for necks for jingle bells
Hilarious
one of the best musical theatre dancing numbers ever choreographed ❤️
Human expression on display. Love it.
I love this song, the musical, and the late 60s/70s!!
It's one of the greatest broadway musical showstoppers I've ever seen! I was 6-7 yrs. old when this was first aired. It gets better with each showing! The combination of the late greats Burt Bacharach's music and Michael Bennett's-(Dreamgirls,A Chorus Line),dazzling exuberant choreography makes this a true classic! WOW!
ED SULLIVAN was one of the BEST tv shows ever! My parents and I watched the show every Sunday. LOVE this and LOVED the show! Much MUCH better TV THEN ...than the crap on TV today!
Ed Sullivan had such a great show. He had so many Broadway shows perform, ballet dancers, opera singers, popular singers of the day. It was a family show that everyone would gather around and watch. My most profound memory was seeing the Beatles first American performance. I was just a little kid, but I remember my mom getting me out of bed to come and watch them. Everyone knew something historical was going to happen that night.
Baayork is so light on her feet! Always exploding off of the floor.
she changed costume twice . by her choice, this one has white at her neck other didn't
Happy Turkey Lurkey Time once again, y'all! 🦃
I love this so much.
These dancers are so awesome.
I want to go to a Christmas Office Party like this.
Fell in love the dancer in the red dress on this clip. She pops like a firework that can't stop changing colors. (No collective consensus on here who she REALLY is.)
Dear God I love this number. It is so nice to see a clear version of it. Back in the 80s when us old theatre geeks had VHS tapes I used to play the grainy version from my Tony Awards highlights tapes constantly. I can't get enough of the late 60s Bachrach sound and of course one of Jonathan Tunick's first (if not the very first) brilliant orchestrations
The original Broadway cast was even better than this. A lot better than this is, believe it or not. Donna McKechnie, and sharper ensemble. This is terrific, but the original had you screaming for joy.
They hit it hard in that Tony Awards clip. Too bad it's such poor quality. It's amazing.
I wish somebody would run that clip through an AI filter.
Never seen so many 3-piece suits in one place in all my life. Fabulous.
I love how Bayoork's hair just flies everywhere
One of the, if not the, most joyful Broadway dances ever! The dancer in red resembles Sutton Foster to me.
No, Julane Stites could dance, Sutton cant
@@feathersforfun well, at least in looks and personality 🙂
@@feathersforfun yeah, Sutton can't dance and that's why she won two Tonys for dancing roles. Shish.
It’s just such a brilliant number.
The lead dancer is Juliane Stites who was my dancer teacher in high school!
Nope. The lead dancer here is non-other than THE fabulous Lada Edmund, who replaced Donna McKechnie. Juliane Stites replaced Margo Sappington and is the long-haired dancer on the 1969 Tony Awards performance.
Did you go to ACMA?
Julanne
Julane, she replaced sapping ton in Purple first than Donna
@@generationripe6540 Nope, it's Julane Stites in this performance. It's not Lada.
That Bacharach & David Broadway song from the holiday tune from 1970!!!!!
I saw the original Broadway cast. The score was absolutely incredibly exciting. I didn’t know this was out there. Seeing this live almost lifted me off my seat. The Ray Block band does a great job here. They were always kind of square when playing anything contemporary. But they really nail it here except for the trumpet solo. He starts but kind of disappears until he hits that last high note.
I think part of the reason behind the lackluster trumpet solo is that it's in the 3rd Trumpet book. It just has chords and slashes for those 6 bars. My guess is the player was not comfortable improvising.
@@alextirrellRI could be
Played this show in the early 70's.
That’s my dance teacher! Yay! 😀
Iconic! I must watch this gem daily.
Terrific ❤but nobody “head pops” like Donna.
But nobody throws down like Juliane Stites. That ending is killer.
No. And as good as Julan Stites was, she doesn't have Donna's authority and razor sharp snap either. She was also taller that the other girls in the original - which was important in a trio like this. She was in total control. Long ago now, but never forgotten.
Let's celebrate all who take on and nail this incredible number
I seriously dont know how i remember this entire routine down to the last 8 count! Its been at least 15yrs or so since ive last seen it!
Did this number in a show. Was awesome.
This is the best video to learn the choreography…it seems much slower and “matter of fact” whereas the 69 Tony’s is the PINNACLE performance, but it’s hard to learn the moves from that one as they looked so authentic
Great number! Must've been brutal to do that 8 times a week!
None of these characters really appear in the rest of the show. This was designed to send the audiences out to interval on a high. It's meant to be a show stopper but it also serves a dramatic device in the show. Everyone's having a great time, and heading out of the office of to families for Christmas - and Fran is alone. This is a counterpoint to what happens later.
Excellent dancers!
I missed watching this for Christmas, but now here I am 😎
Omg that was amazing!!!!! 😍😍👏👏👏
The choreography and dancing are terrific but the song is pure Bacharach and David.
Had to come enjoy. RIP Mr B.
Gee...my office Christmas parties were never like this
Amazing! And this clip is so clear. thanks for posting!
They were eating that stage up!
OMG so much energy
Great performance. Julie Stites gets pretty close to Donna McKechnie.. Such high energy!!!!
They ate this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm going to feel that one tomorrow ⚡
THANK YOU, MICHAEL BENNETT!!!
omg I am finally watching this in HD, tysm ❤️❤️❤️
Love love love
So damn good! WOW
Michael, you were a talented sadist!
There's nothing petty about that cash.
I like this version better than the Tony one, only because it’s much better quality and the tempo is more consistent. What they did to this number in the revival was a travesty.
If I’m not mistaken they talked about the Tony performance tempo surprisingly being taken much much faster than what it was supposed to be. They were all scared but everyone went with it.
I love the outrageously fast Tony because the dancers rise to the occasion and do an impossible to repeat performance. There’s no way they could do it at that speed night after and twice on Sunday!
This version compared with the Tony version is much better directed.
@@lamisk5479 I agree. Its very close to falling off the rails, and that's what makes it so good.
It's only because the Tony's version is badly filmed - and the stage was slippery. How they pulled it off is beyond belief. Julane Stites is fabulous, but Donna McKechnie had a razor sharp 'snap' to her dancing. You knew who was in charge with her. The revival was the worst. Right up there with How To Succeed.
Unbridled lust. Cover the children's eyes.
In the Sydney season the pit was covered and the orchestra and backing singers fed into loud speakers--as happened in Jesus Christ Superstar
It was covered on Broadway too. The Sydney production was seriously second rate I thought. Orson Bean? The staging was the same but they didn't have the electric dancers.
0:48 I can't help but look at the bear
....... businesses used to have a petty cash department?
Like a whole department? Just to have cash on hand?
And nobody robbed them or stole?
The 70s were magical😮
I always remember this gem whenever I become frustrated with the Boomer generation. Its too easy to forget the past greatness in the present moment...
Lada Edmunds Junior is an exceptional dancer. Have a look at her dancing as part of the Hullabaloo dance Troupe, great stuff☺
Lada never did Promises& btw shes now Lada St Edmond
Is that Kelly Bishop (Emily from Gilmore Girls) in the black suit/white blouse? She's sitting down at the beginning looking up at the man speaking.
Great clip. Date of 1950 is not quite correct :-)
IKR? I was trying to figure out what universe _that_ would have been possible.
1969
Thank you! I spotted that and was like “ummmmm NOT QUITE!” 😂
Is the bald headed guy the police chief in "Car 54 Where Are You?"?
Yes he is.👮♂
i love how the black woman dances this way too difficult routine with such a big smile
At about 1:39 Ms. Pulanski totally kicks the crap out of the background woman, you see her react and then smooth the front of her dress.
April 23,1950? Promises Promises opened in 1968, I believe.
I think they musta meant 1970. This clip is SO '70 it hurts
1970.
We need the HAIR The Musical Performance
They did revive it on Broadway, but it was very dated, sadly. That was a show of its time. The film is surprisingly good, with some very good dances.
I love this too.
But Donna !!!
No neck action at all. Donna was insane with that neck isolation
Whiplash
Awesome.
powerpuff girls vibes
Turkey lurkey
Barbara Alston of the Crystals?
Black woman with blue dress and man dancer are hullabaloo dancer
purple
0:30
Why does the thumbnail say 1950?? Promises, Promises opened in 1968! Heck, the movie that was its source material opened in 1960.
That is my musical thearte song and mine is similar to this dance but not exactly
The Black girl in blue is the best!
shes inpuple, barbara Alston
shes in purple& re[placed Margo Sappington
No she isn't. She 's not even attempting to create the illusion that they were actually singing it. For this number almost all the vocals were pre recorded.
MY TEACHERS IN THERE
My dear friend Henry Sutton was in this company- first Broadway show for me!
I think you meant 1970, judging by the MOD-era dresses.
Not quite Donna McKechnie level, but close.
No torso and neck isolation at all here.
Donna was in Company for Micheal by this time
How the hell did this lose the best choreography Tony to George M????????
George M had dancing all the way through the show but this was pretty much the only dance number of any consequence in Promises Promises.
True but the dancing in this musical is wild and insane where George M's is pretty traditional. @@echocheck
I agree, but you have to remember who is voting for the awards....usually pretty traditional people.@@johnyzero2000
Company had opened at this point I believe.
Yes, I remember watching this when it aired, and I was already itching to see Company whenever I could get to NYC.
@@DelGuy03 There was no dancing to speak of in Company with the exception of Donna's big solo. Wonderful staging, but no dancing apart from that. It was fabulous, but in every subsequent production they delete it. Why, I will never know, because the show needed that electrifying solo.
@jochenstossberg5427 I know right! It's always a damn shame whenever Tick Tock gets cut. Not only is it an amazing score, but cutting it also screws over Kathy's screentime compared to Bobby's other girlfriends. April gets a monolgue, Marta gets a solo, Kathy should always be given Tick Tock to round it out!
Just not the same without Donna M.
Is that lead dancer Suzanne Charney? From the Aloof?
Julanne Stites
Julane Stites
This is 1969
In Britain we rarely get this kind of entertainment nowadays,it has been replaced to some degree by crummy reality shows.
It's the same in the US, nothing but reality shows. Now I find everything I want to see on CZcams.
It's still there on Broadway!
@@geaj the revival was sacrilege.
The American company, or most of it, went to London. They had to go because Michael Bennet simply couldn't find good enough dancers. Same with A Chorus Line. But did it create a drama! Donna McKechnie was harassed in the streets. It wasn't until the show stared it's run that the Brits admitted how much more polished the American dancers were.
No disrespect to Julie Stites… but… damn NOW I see why McKecnie was Bennet’s muse.
You can say that again
she was doing Company for him
Donna's neck move was amazing. Swings completely from one side to the other.
Donna wasdoig Company for Micheal by then
Yes, she danced like she was plugged into electricity. But like all great dancers she was limited. Bennett created a number of solo dancers for her - all similar to this one.
love them but Donna blew them away
how can one sing during a number like this? Are they lip syncing? Doesn't make it less impressive, I'm just curious
The show definitely had pit singers (four billed as "Orchestra Voice" in the original).
@@LAPhil13 Yes there were four pit singers.
@@LAPhil13 ahh ok cool
nope, triple threats yu did stall, Pronises was the first show to have pit singers
For this number, and all full on dance numbers in pretty much every big Broadway show, where the dancing is so hectic during numbers that are also sung, they use pre recorded vocals, and in this show, four backup girls in the pit to create the pop sound. Obviously in other songs with no dancing, the songs are all sung live. Unless you're the fabulous Liza -who famously used pre recorded vocals for the entire performance of The Act, until someone in the front stalls caught her out. Very embarrassing for Liza, who said she was just tired - and immediately went back to singing herself. Most of the time. You can see in this clip that the girl on the right isn't actually singing. Not even trying to mime either.
WHERE IS DONNA?
This was over a year after it opened.
Rehearsing for Company.
@@Bobbybabybobbybubbie WOW
