On Jan 27th 2020 there was a "50th Anniv Concert" of CELEBRATION which opened Jan 22, 1969 on Broadway. Tom Jones (No, not the singer) ("Fantasticks," "I Do! I Do!", "110 In the Shade", "Philemon") directed the original production, wrote the book and lyrics for the musical with Harvey Schmidt (music). Attending this concert were two original cast members Michael Glenn Smith "Orphan," and Stephan DeGhelder, who was a "Reveler" and also understudy to Michael, asst. choreographer and dance captain. This video captures some moments from the after show get-together with Jones, now 92. The audio isn't the best, it was shot on a cell phone, but there are some delightful remembrances.
