I only know Sallert from the cast recording of Ben Franklin in Paris and the various TV appearances she made during that show's Broadway run. I could swear that I saw a segment somewhere from that show where she is apparently alone in the balloon and suddenly Preston steps out of the shadows toward her. I can't remember if he then sang "To Be Alone with You" in the segment or if "A Balloon Is Ascending" was performed earlier in it. I can't recall on what TV show I saw it on or if it was in a clip I viewed online. I may have seen it at the Paley Center. Anyone else ever see it?

I think in the show, Franklin was already in the basket, improbably hiding under a blanket in that tiny area. And he popped up when the balloon was already in the air. I could be wrong though. It was a long time ago.

On a separate matter, from another note: I never had any trouble understanding Ulla Sallert in the show. And, typically, I was up in the balcony, and I don't think even the leads were individually miked. Could be wrong about that, too.

And 95 is a good age to reach. I won't make it that far and can't sing that well.
