| Sondheim has stated that he doesn’t consider Country House to be an entirely successful song as it doesn’t quite sound like Follies. Make the Most of Your Music hasn’t been used again because it is expensive to stage and isn’t truly interchangeable with Live, Laugh, Love since it has a solid ending. Both of these songs also haven’t been made available to later productions of Follies because the changes in the libretto that necessitated them for the London production haven’t been retained. Ah, But Underneath though has been staged after the London Follies. The Papermill production used it and Sondheim has indicated that in any production where the Phyllis is more singer than dancer, the song can be substituted. |
