When they allowed lip synching; I prefer "I Wrote the Book"

It's enjoyable, but it's obvious she was not singing live. I always thought "I Wrote the Book" in that show was the single best Bacall vocal in all of her musical theater work. The Kander and Ebb song sat comfortably on her limited range, and she really sang it, as opposed to shouting parts to music. It's a charming character song and performance, and I wish she had done that on the Tonys. It was lovely in the theater.
