Carol Channing and Pearl Bailey on Broadway
Carol Channing, the original star of Hello Dolly, and Pearl Bailey, the current 'Dolly' on Broadway, combine forces in a rumbustious cavalcade of comedy and song
It is not often that you get two of the greats of musical comedy together in the same show. According to the book they should be trying to scratch one another's eyes out, but as they demonstrate, in duets like 'The Two of Us,' they make a great partnership.

Bernard Keeffe introduces extracts from the semi-finals when the final eight competitors performed a solo recital, and talks to some of those involved in the early stages
