My God, Paula Kelly was simply amazing. What a talent gone way too soon, who IMO never received the flowers she deserved while she was still here. RIP Miss. Kelly!❤

Paula Kelly- even breathtaking in a wordless pantomime. And a killer fur and evening gown!! The 'sophisticated' kiss on the hand and exit at the very end is awesome.

lol. "only song and dance"...honey, look again. this show REQUIRES ALOT of personality, charm, and grit! THROUGH the singing and dancing, these wonderful "personalities" take us back to an era and tell us a story. they tell us no matter what time (year) it is, we all want the same things and love was and will be a beautiful song to sing always...because IT'S a sophisticated lady!
The irreplaceable Duke Ellington, the music, the stage, the correography, the dress, the class, all takes us back to a special time...................Don
This was simply beautiful. Thanks for posting. I was about 10 years old when i went to see this play on boardway. It was great. How i wish for them to have plays like they had back then. Plays like: The Wiz, Dreamgirls, Sophisticated Ladies. Where OH, where have the good times gone??? Someone PLEASE save us.
Paula Kelly is breathtaking. She was so elegant, chic, and beautiful in this Sophisticated Lady number. Ditto Hinton Battle who was so polished . He and Ms Kelly created a rarefied moment in this 1980 unforgettable Duke Ellington broadway show from an era long ago in the last century..
@xolentone I agree ... however, without the late-GREAT Phylis Hyman & the Awesome dance of Gregg Burge I just don't see how the "magic" can be duplicated. There is just NO replacement nor substitute for the 2 of them!! I feel sorry for all who never got to see their irreplaceable performances "Live."
but what im saying is the show is a musical review think about it. there are no musical reviews out now except Rock of Ages and its various artist. i just think the average nyc tourist is more conserned with seeing Lion king or Little mermaid then This
Immortalized 💯

Hey, did you see the level of grace exhibited by this woman? Not a word was spoken, but her sophistication spoke volumes.
Great music two great artist. Go Sophisticated Ladies !!!!!

That is how you walk!!!! She looked like a 1920's vogue cover model...

I think I remember seeing a production of this on PBS a long time ago. I remember buying the tape and playing it to death.

4:04 Big deal, Paula. That's how gloriously I ALWAYS dip into MY coats... with a Man-swooping-in-from-behind included ; P

Wow, you had me at intro! Now, that's how you do it!!!😄
Thanks so much for this
Thank you. I needed that.

this show was supposed to comeback in like 2005 but never did. i think because the show is only song and dance
4:05 -:09- HOOOOT CHOREO
Hinton Battle, "You are a Bad Dude," and by Bad, I mean good.😄
Folks this is American history
Who did the costume design??? Remarkable!!!
but what im saying is the show is a musical review think about it. there are no musical reviews out now except Rock of Ages and its various artist. i just think the average nyc tourist is more conserned with seeing Lion king or Little mermaid then This
Phyllis was BAD! In this Broadway. I wish I could go back in those times jus to dress...😊
Looks like Keri Hilson xD
@San47di And i feel sorry for myself :(
R.I.P. Hinton Battle
