16. United Press International: Frank Gorshin IS George Burns on Broadway
- www.upi.com
- Frank Gorshin IS George Burns on Broadway .
- 22 (UPI) -- Comedian George Burns always said he wanted to live to be 104 so he could say he had lived in three centuries, but he died at 100 in 1996.
- He is getting his wish to live in the 21st century -- by proxy -- in an amazing performance by Frank Gorshin as George Burns in the new Broadway production, "Say Goodnight Gracie," a celebration of the life of one of America's most beloved stars of vaudeville, radio, television, and motion pictures.
- The title of the show at the Helen Hayes Theater is a reference to Burns' roguishly insistent command to his ditsy comic partner (and wife), Gracie Allen, at the end of each of their radio and television shows.
- Holmes had help from Burns' reminiscences in telling the comic's life from cradle to grave, as though the centenarian Burns was relating his career to God (whom he played in the top-grossing film, "Oh, God!") in hope of being allowed to join his beloved Gracie in heaven, which he calls "the Big Time. ...
- Gracie is just as much a part of the show as Burns although she never makes an appearance. Gorshin as Burns replays many of their comic routines together, with actress Didi Conn imitating Gracey's purling voice from the wings, and occasionally a blown-up portrait of Gracie dominates a screen at the back of the stage onto which many other photographic images of people and places are projected.
- Gorshin looks enough like Burns in late middle age to be the real McCoy, helped only by the horn-rim glasses Burns always wore and the comic's ever-present but rarely puffed cigar. His voice has Burns' special gravelly bark, and he has mastered all of Burns' bodily mannerisms and shuffling gait. ...
- He first assayed George Burns in a night club act, setting in motion an idea that gave birth to "Say Goodnight Gracie," which had its premiere at the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. ...
- Gorshin said in an interview that he never knew Burns or saw him perform but had studied his television and film performances, including "The Sunshine Boys. " Gorshin had played in that show on the road, taking the Walter Matthau part rather than the Burns part. But it helped him get so close to the man that some people seeing "Say Goodnight Gracie" thought Burns was trying to channel back to earth through Gorshin.
- "With George Burns, I just did it by watching him, thinking him, and eventually it was there. ...
- Gorshin is Burns for 90 intermissionless minutes, every one of them a joy to the audience. His Burns tells with pride how pulled himself up by own bootstraps by going to work as a paper deliverer on New York's lower East side at the age of seven to help his widowed immigrant mother. ...
