  1. Great photo!

    My partner was a broke director in the mid-sixties who was friends with the "Mame" stage manager, who'd sneak him in each time a new Mame took over.

    He reports that when Miller took over, a bit was added after "That's How Young I Feel" in which a chorus boy would run into the wings and return with a pair of tap shoes on a velvet pillow.

    Miller would feign surprise eight times a week, slip into the shoes, and launch into an "impromptu" tap number as the crowd went apeshit!
