Mrs. Bogart croaks her way through this forceful number from “Applause,” the 1970 musical adaptation of “All About Eve.” In this scene, stage legend Margo Channing (Bacall) follows her assistant down to Greenwich Village, with schemeing Eve Harrington in tow. Their destination’s a frugtastic all-male watering hole where the decorative use of enormous neon alphabet letters suggests the owners had an educational theme in mind. (Notice that those letters almost spell out G-A-Y P-O-W-E-R!) —John Q. Sanchez

is as Clear as you can get and still have some “cleverness”… but after seeing the guys and all the antics, there is NO “almost” about what is “spelled” out! pretty funny!! woohoo
ps, that IS a well lit place Marc (such was that era of shows), but lights are so easy to dim (hehe), imagine being there if the lights suddenly dropped to 10%, hot, and with the room full of those guys?… yikes, the pool table would not be used for pool…… tho I suppose there would still be plenty of balls in play.

May 1, 2007 at 07:53John, it’s going to be a full choral number… but we do the whole song. It’s just too groovy to believe!

May 1, 2007 at 08:30RcktMan, that is going to be bazurk! Does this mean you know all of that chorus’s lyrics in this song? I can only make out a tiny bit “She’s here and…” “It’s just too groovy to believe!” Tell us the rest!
RcktMan says:
May 1, 2007 at 20:21Yeah… they’re changed a bit (to “We’re here” vs. “She’s here”), but this is that section:
“She’s here, my dear, can you believe it?
She’s here, Oh God, I can’t believe it!
She’s here, it’s just too groovy to believe! Whoo!!!”
Talk about 60s fabulousness.

Thanks guys. I always thought they should call the drag show “Flowers in the Attic.” After all, the drag show takes place in an attic and drag queens are like flowers.

April 30, 2007 at 13:32Wow. That is brilliant. I’ve always heard of “Applause” but never knew it was an adaptation
of “All About Eve.” That is probably the most well-lit gay bar I have ever seen. My favorite
part though is at :39 when the bottoms present themselves. You don’t see that choreography everyday.
