OVER HERE! B'way '74-'75 The Andrews Sisters

A nostalgia wave brought the remaining Andrews Sisters, Patti and Maxene, to Broadway in 1974 in "Over Here!," playing singing sisters Paulette and Pauline De Paul---or themselves---in search of a third voice for their harmonies. Songs were by the Sherman Brothers. The final matinee performance of "Over Here!" (Jan. 4, 1975, Shubert Theatre) was taped in black and white, making the show one of the few Broadway musicals preserved from this period. Here we begin with the two Act One "Over Here!" numbers seen on the 1974 Tony Awards telecast: Title number with the sisters, and "Charlie's Place," led by Ann Reinking and John Mineo, with John Travolta, Treat Williams, and Marilu Henner in the ensemble. Then from the second act of that final matinee performance taped in black and white: Patti Andrews in her eleven o'clock ballad "Where Did the Good Times Go?" (10:01); "The Big Beat" (13:40), with the sisters joined by the third voice they find, Mitzi (Tony winner Janie Sell), who turns out to be a Nazi spy (find out how they prove she's not a "real American"); and finally (21:00) the Andrews Sisters in their curtain-call medley of songs they made famous a couple of decades earlier (original tape ran out before end). "Over Here!" was severely underrated at the time, but I'm not sure it can ever work without the original ladies.
