Adele Astaire

This next show, uh, For Goodness' Sake, that we're going to feature, is, uh, distinguished for two reasons.

Uh, w- firstly, because it was one of the first Broadway appearances of Fred and Adele Astaire, and secondly, because it featured two fairly good, uh, Gershwin interpolations.

Yes.

One of which is the Tra La La.

Oh gee, oh God, oh golly, I love you

Two songs from the score to For Goodness' Sake.

You first heard off a Ben Bagley George Gershwin Revisited album, Barbara Cook, Bobby Short, and Anthony Perkins performing the Gershwin song "Tra La La," which was an interpolation into that score, and that was followed by Fred and Adele Astaire in the very early part of their career p- performing "Oh Gee, Oh Gosh" from For Goodness' Sake.

Al, another feature I think of the 1920s that can't be overlooked were the great comedy teams, uh...

Margaret Qualley and Sabrina Carpenter will be joining Tom Holland in the upcoming Fred Astaire biopic.

Sabrina Carpenter will play Ginger Rogers, and Margaret Qualley will portray Adele Astaire, Fred's sister and dance partner.

I think Tom Holland is such a great cast for this 'cause, yes, you can train a, a good actor to dance, but you know, he has been a Broadway-trained actor when he played Billy Elliot when he was a kid.

Mm-hmm.

yeah I mean he's possibly the day drinker right now probably yeah quite likely

right so there we go that's all the trailers we've got let's go through some news so Sabrina Carpenter and Margaret Qualley have joined Tom Holland in the untitled Fred Astaire biopic as Ginger Rogers and Adele Astaire.

It's growing, we're getting more news about it now.

This is the new, what is it, the dancing Marvel Universe.

So he's playing Fred Astaire in the movie, and they've, uh, cast the ladies in his life.

Uh, Margaret Qualley will be playing Adele Astaire, and Sabrina Carpenter's gonna be playing Ginger Rogers.

Uh, and for those that don't know, Fred and Adele were major stars on Broadway and London's West End before Fred Astaire went on to be one of cinema's greatest stars with costar and dance partner Ginger Rogers.

Paul King is directing the biopic, who did, uh, Wonka and Paddington.

And, uh, They just cast his co-stars.

They got Margaret Qualley as Adele Astaire and Sabrina Carpenter as Ginger Rogers.

I don't really know Fred Astaire and Ginger.

That was never my type of movies and stuff, but I feel like this is a fun cast.

Um, Margot Qualley and Sabrina Carpenter are going to be in the Fred Astaire biopic, which I'm very excited for.

Margot's going to be playing his sister Adele, Adele Astaire, and Sabrina's going to be playing his dancing partner, his years-long dancing partner, Ginger Rogers.

You know anything about old Hollywood? That was huge back in the day, of course, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers.

So, yeah, very excited for that.
