This runs around 14 minutes and the opening's a little dull…but wait. It gets better.
Back in the eighties, there were these odd TV specials to benefit the Actors Fund. They were called Night of 100 Stars and they all had more than a hundred stars on them. In fact, they featured so many stars that all a good percentage of them could do was to walk out, get applauded and walk off. In this number, which is from the 1982 special, a bevy of Broadway stars actually each sing a few bars from showtunes with which they were associated. (There are exceptions, though. Ellen Burstyn and Charles Grodin, who were then starring in the non-musical Same Time Next Year just walk through. Tell me when you've ever seen a man look more awkward than Mr. Grodin does in this clip.)
There are some great performers in there and it's wonderful to see them though frustrating that their performances are so brief. Still, take a look. This is in two parts which should play one right after the other, probably with a slight overlap, in the player below. Like I said, it starts slow but it gets to be quite remarkable.
