Celebrity Rock: The Lullaby of Broadway (1980)

 Taxi closed out its 2nd season with a 2-part episode that saw the staff at the Sunshine Cab Company indulge in some fantasies. Herve Villachaize (Fantasy Island) guest starred in part 1. Part 2 closes with Elaine (Marilu Henner) leading the gang in a rendition of "The Lullaby of Broadway", from "42nd Street". As you'll see, Latka (Andy Kaufman) was late to the party.


Jeff Conaway (Bobby) was no stranger to being a song & dance man, having co-starred in "Grease" two years earlier. Henner would later appear on Broadway in a revival of "Chicago". Tony Danza would later give it ago as a song & dance man himself, learning how to tap dance as a result of this episode.
