This is a not well known appearance by the Broadway legend. She appeared on the Dick Cavett show (not the original late night one) and along with the American Dance scene recreated several famous numbers including her own Charity dance from Sweet Charity. It provides fascinating context to how Broadway dance evolved. This was done after Chicago and Verdon looks in amazing form.
I do not understand whats so great about GV. Unremarkable. Dumpy. Not beautiful. No charisma.

R1, you've just described the vast majority of Broadway musical stars.

This is a hell of a find, OP. I'm really enjoying it. Thank you!
I'm flabbergasted at R1. You honestly don't see anything special about her after watching her dance? Are you familiar with dance at all? Serious question. She is a wonderful, highly trained and very strong dancer. I find her absolutely charming and appealing, too.

That was mesmerizing OP, thank you! Gwen is a national treasure. Cavett was the only negative in this show. Loves the sound of his own voice. Gwen was so gracious whenever he would interrupt her with his name-dropping or look-how-smart I-am quotes. But regardless, I loved it.

Love this clip. When was this aired originally?

I can remember seeing Gwen on Cavett in an earlier appearance, around 1968. A luminous performer. One of a kind.
