Christine Baranski has the charm that any line dropped by her could make the audience laugh. Sometimes, it is not about the writing but her personal whimsy hanging there with her demeanors and expressions.
That's true, but this is also a brilliantly written scene, the way she keeps insisting "I'm not a pickup" while maneuvering everything in exactly that direction. It may be the funniest scene Neil Simon wrote, and she handles every line superbly.
Love this!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou for posting this :) It really made me laugh. Christine Baranski is like my favorite person ever and is sooooo talented.
And a fact can be a beautiful thing When the fact I'm facin' is you A fact can be a terrible thing When the dreams you've been dreaming fall through Forget the past And think about the present Right now is everything Forget the past And think about the present The present's very pleasant Who cares what the future will bring? There's just no predicting a thing Don't wait for a miracle Because it's Christmas Not a time to be Alone with memories Christmas It's supposed to be a happy holiday Throw a little joy my way You could really make my day Throw a little joy my way And a fact can be a beautiful thing When I see what I'm seein' in you A fact can be a wonderful thing When your hopes to be happy come true What's gone is gone And don't you ever doubt it Wake up and start to live What's gone is gone So learn to live without it And never think about it Who cares what the future will bring? There's just no predicting a thing Don't wait for a miracle Because it's Christmas Not a time to be Alone with memories Christmas It's supposed to be a happy holiday Throw a little joy my way Do we really have to stay? Throw a little joy my way Throw a little joy my way Do we really have to stay? Throw a little joy my way Because it's Christmas Just the perfect day for us to Dance and sing Christmas It's supposed to be a happy holiday Happy holiday So throw a little joy my way Who cares what the future will bring? There's just no predicting a thing Don't wait for a miracle Don't wait for a miracle Don't wait for a miracle Don't wait for a miracle
I know the circumstances are completely different then the current production on Broadway, but Katie Finneran was so much more hysterical then Christine Baranski, who I do adore. She was the best ten minutes in the whole show!!!
This would have made a better Broadway transfer production than the 2010 revival did. That revival, like so many nowadays, felt a need to make some idiotic book revisions, in that case switching the setting from late 60s to early 60s which isn't the right time frame for these things and also set up the dumbest book rewrite line in the history of musical theater. Whereas in the original, his invitation to Fran is meet him at "the new Garden, the old one's been torn down" in the revival we get a request to meet him at "the old Garden, the new one hasn't been built yet."

Please we need a whole proshot of this production, is a oldie show, deserve release for the new generations.

And a fact can be a beautiful thing
When the fact I'm facin' is you
A fact can be a terrible thing
When the dreams you've been dreaming fall through
Forget the past
And think about the present
Right now is everything
Forget the past
And think about the present
The present's very pleasant
Who cares what the future will bring?
There's just no predicting a thing
Don't wait for a miracle
Because it's Christmas
Not a time to be
Alone with memories
Christmas
It's supposed to be a happy holiday
Throw a little joy my way
You could really make my day
Throw a little joy my way
And a fact can be a beautiful thing
When I see what I'm seein' in you
A fact can be a wonderful thing
When your hopes to be happy come true
What's gone is gone
And don't you ever doubt it
Wake up and start to live
What's gone is gone
So learn to live without it
And never think about it
Who cares what the future will bring?
There's just no predicting a thing
Don't wait for a miracle
Because it's Christmas
Not a time to be
Alone with memories
Christmas
It's supposed to be a happy holiday
Throw a little joy my way
Do we really have to stay?
Throw a little joy my way
Throw a little joy my way
Do we really have to stay?
Throw a little joy my way
Because it's Christmas
Just the perfect day for us to
Dance and sing
Christmas
It's supposed to be a happy holiday
Happy holiday
So throw a little joy my way
Who cares what the future will bring?
There's just no predicting a thing
Don't wait for a miracle
Don't wait for a miracle
Don't wait for a miracle
Don't wait for a miracle
thank you so much for posting!
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
this is so wonderful
I love this bit. Do you have the entire show on video From this particular one?
At 6:48, Marty goes a little bit overboard with his..umm..handling of Christine. Her reaction is priceless.
Am I wrong, or are the Encores! productions always better than the Broadway revivals?
You have a point about casting at least.
Thanks to Neil simon!!!
subtitulos!!!!!
Is there anywhere we can watch the whole musical?
I'll bet this would be fabulous if only I could hear it 😔 people seem to be laughing a lot at whatever they're saying 🤷🏻♀️

She also totally overplayed the scene and killed Sean Hayes who was totally underplaying it and totally overwhelmed by her over-acting.
@@nonenoneonenonenone I love her performance and she got a Tony for it. So...
