Alan at Amy's Robot rules! He uploaded this clip of Jerry Orbach in 42nd Street to YouTube. This scene is when Orbach, as director Julian Marsh, tells Peggy Sawyer (played by Wanda Richert) to star in his musical and he sings "The Lullaby of Broadway" (yes, it was a song in 42nd Street before it was a Milford Plaza commercial!). Jerry was a Broadway man before he made it to TV - let us know if someone uploads clips of his performances in Guys and Dolls, Promises, Promises, and Chicago. And thanks again, Alan.

Fantastic!
(of course, if anyone can upload a video of his work in The Fantasticks, that would be nice too).
I would guess that his 1960 work in The Fantasticks (he originated the role of 'El Gallo'--the character who introduced the world to the song "Try to Remember",) simply doesn't exist. How magical if it did. And it would be great to see him in the Burt Bachrach/Hal David staging of Billy Wilder's movie classic The Apartment (which also happened to open in 1960…).
This clip is from PBS's Broadway's Lost Treasures. If this kind of thing turns you on, you should get the DVDs. They're on Netflix.
