Vivienne Segal (1897-1992) is one of the Broadway greats whom we rarely saw on screen. Her most famous Broadway role was Vera in Pal Joey, the role she created and in which she introduced the song "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered." Her version is still my favorite.

Among her other credits is the role of Queen Morgan Le Fay in A Connecticut Yankee, another Rodgers and Hart show. Although the show premiered in 1927, Rodgers and Hart wrote additional songs for the 1943 revival, in which Ms. Segal introduced this great and amusing song, which is the last song Lorenz Hart ever wrote. In "To Keep My Love Alive," Queen Morgan Le Fay relates how she kept her love alive by killing all her husbands. (A Connecticut Yankee has no connection to the Crosby film.)

"I married many men, a ton of them
And yet I was untrue to none of them
Because I bumped off every one of them
To keep my love alive."

Take Me Along (1959) is a musical adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's Ah, Wilderness!. It ran more than a year and featured an amazing cast: Walter Pidgeon, Jackie Gleason, Eileen Herlie, Una Merkel, and Robert Morse (just before his How to Succeed role). Jackie Gleason won the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical, for playing the role of Sid (played by Wallace Beery in the 1935 movie). Robert Morse and Walter Pidgeon were also nominated for their roles as Richard and Nat Miller. The show received nine nominations, including Best Musical. Fiorello! and The Sound of Music tied that year. Valerie Harper was a dancer and in the chorus.

The show has a nice score by Bob Merrill. Here's the title song, performed by Jackie Gleason and Walter Pidgeon.
