When Broadway is able to be back up and running eight times a week, we're gonna need a mindless tap-happy and tap-heavy musical comedy revival.

(Crazy for You? My One and Only? No, No, Nanette? What are we having?)

I'm only allowing 42nd Street if Julian Marsh and Billy Lawlor are allowed to be lovers again, as Bradford Ropes intended.

And Anything Goes, a show I just cannot love no matter how hard I try, is allowed if someone else takes a crack at the book?

I think the last tap-happy show I saw was Me and My Girl at Encores!, which I repeat-attended just for the sheer joy of "The Lambeth Walk" and Mark Evans's delicious show-stoppingly camp "The Sun Has Got His Hat On"

Here's the ORIGINAL version of the 42nd Street tap ballet featuring the original Broadway cast including Wanda Richert, Lee Roy Reams, and its much darker concept. It's unbelievably thrilling.

Speaking of 42nd Street, here is Ruby Keeler and the kids of No, No, Nanette closing the 1972 Tony Awards with their showstopping "I Want to Be Happy" tap routine.

I spoke too soon: the ACTUAL finale of the 1972 Tony Awards was the cast of No, No, Nanette joined by the likes of Henry Fonda, Deborah Kerr, Ingrid Bergman, Ethel Merman, and other stars strumming ukuleles and singing "I Want to Be Happy"

My One and Only serves mostly to remind me that we have been deprived of far too many Tommy Tune productions on Broadway these last 25 years.

Good News is terrific fun if less tap-intensive. Here's the divine Sandy Duncan (oh, so terrific in the Encores! No, No, Nanette) leading "The Varsity Drag"

And Susan Stroman's "I Got Rhythm" to close the first act of Crazy For You is one of the best and most inventive feel-good production numbers of the last 30 years.

Her MIND.

Of course, there is the more-recent Shuffle Along, which got a raw deal, I think. Savion Glover's first-act finale took "I'm Just Wild About Harry" and built it from a simple song in first rehearsal to a thrilling opening night triumph.

Tangent: Scott Rudin recorded a complete soundboard of Shuffle Along to edit for the Tony voter sampler and someone should leak the whole thing.

Dames at Sea was back in NY briefly in 2015 (which was three decades ago by current standards) and I fell out of my seat when Eloise Kropp led the company in "Star Tar"

For the last clip tonight, let's take it back to No, No, Nanette one final time with "Take a Little One Step." Where else are you going to see Sandy Duncan and Rosie O'Donnell tap dance together?
