    My brother and I saw her in Mame on Broadway in 1983. She was terrific. RIP Dame Angela.

    I don't know why some Broadway musicals are able to make the transition to the big screen and others can't. Even if Angela Lansbury had been cast in the movie Im not sure it would have succeeded. Certain shows just require a proscenium. Their magic is about live theater and the move to big screen can be disastrous. Take for exsmple Evita which was electrifying on stage all lights and clever blocking and dancing but the transition to the big screen with the Casa Rosada and real bombs going off in the streets of Argentina was ludicrous. I think certain shows just work on the stage because thats the medium they were created for.

      The book. Dated and problematic in this day and age. "Ito" for instance as written is stereotypical and insulting -- not to mention the end of the first act takes place on a plantation. And as for Mr. Herman's wonderful score, the title number unfortunately contains lyrics such as "you make the cotton easy to pick," and references to Robert E; Lee, all cumulating with equating all that's wonderful about Mame with the glories of the bygone "South." Yikes. Such a shame, for it was the very first Broadway show I ever saw -- the original production with Ms. Lansbury in 1966 -- so it holds a very dear place in my heart, but nowadays -- without some not insubstantial re-writing -- it just won't play as the authors intended back then and is sadly un-producible.

      My sensibilities are not that fragile, but much of society's now are. Trust me, were the show mounted on Broadway now as originally written there would be more than a few people up in arms. There was actually a production of "Mame" here in San Francisco a few months ago. For the title number they went with most of the lyrics used by Louis Armstrong in his recording of the song. Even in 1966 Mr. Armstrong obviously found the lyrics used in the show unpalatable. I adore the show, saw Ms. Lansbury in it three times, but to make it play these days will take some substantial tinkering.

    Nope! For YEARS I've hoped to watch a recording of Mame w/Angela Lansbury! Is there a copy of the entire show anywhere? I love Lucy, but casting herself as Mame in the movie was a terrible professional error! She did herself no favor and kept future generations from enjoying the show as it was meant to be seen. At least she kept Bea Arthur in the role of Vera Charles.

      Lucy absolutely did NOT cast herself...that's not how it works. She couldn't sing and the movie was a flop. Worst casting in movie musical history.
