* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Corny Collins. Is he genuine about supporting integration like the others, or is he simply a media mogul who knows that he has to move with the times to survive, and is thus a cynical stab at how rights movements are able to make progress?

Viewers accustomed to the 2007 movie had to be mindful that the teleplay was filmed ''live'', and thus the actors didn't have the luxury of lipsynching to prerecorded songs. All the singing and dancing was done in real time, and sometimes you could see and hear the actors getting winded near the end of an energetic performance.
