I, too, saw the Cleavon Little version and loved it so much I found that recording and nearly wore it out. I could have sworn that, way back then, a complete version was on Showtime or HBO. I can't find a listing at IMDb. I do love Robert Guillaume, but Cleavon was so sighable=} What a beautiful man he was.

This was the first play my mother took me to see. Celeavland Little played Purlie and the cosby mother played aunt missy. I still know every song and most of the dialog. I love this play. Wish i knew how to find it on dvd. Anybody know please let me know.

I wish that it was available on DVD, but it's not. And there's no available copies of the VHS either. Last time I looked, they were asking almost $500 for it.

Granny120, do you have the clip of Robert Guilaume preaching how he beat-up Ol' Capn. That is one of the best speeches and I can't find it anywhere.

Hey Performers: Go get masks and resurrect 42nd Street. I'm so deeply thankful for the Spirit of Theater. It's gonna free us all. Even us emerald-ringed, monocle-aiming fussy faces, giggling that the soft cotton on our opera gloves explains why the usher didn't hear our snapping fingers. Look here. Our ancestral singing grounds.

I wonder if the black theatre critics criticize the way Moore's character talks? And could you compare these plays in opposition to Tyler Perry's plays which some think they are minstrel shows and the character Madea is a stereotype?

Terrible. Why didn't you put the song on instead of the scene leading up to it??!!
