Diva/Mensch pair for Feb 4, 2026

I think I might have said early in this process that it's lazy to choose the Best Musical as the Diva and the Best Play as the Mensch but those archetypes were so profoundly illustrated in 1956, I can't resist:

Diva: Damn Yankees

Mensch: The Diary of Anne Frank

This number is pretty dopey but the dancing is so great. And how can you top Fosse and Verdon?

I wasn't able to find any footage of the original Broadway cast of Anne Frank on YouTube but would you believe they have the entire 1959 movie?
