In 1981, before seven sellout audiences, the campy Australian crooner rode onto the Radio City stage atop a camel This time he offers an affectionate if glitzy tribute to Al Jolson. There are 37 musicians, 36 Rockettes and a 40-ft. staircase for Allen to prance upon As a dancer, Allen makes up in perspiration what he lacks in locomotion. Is he afraid of falling from those steps?
