Assuming you're talking about Channing in 94 here, I just watched the title number. She looks thin, but "scarily frail" seems like a tremendous overstatement. She literally runs across the passerelle for the "I went away from the lights of 14th Street" section. May I reach only that level of "scarily frail" in my old age.

Exactly. I re-watched it as well, and it's simply not true that she looks frail. She trots, she skips, and she doesn't miss a beat around the passarelle. She executes the iconic choreography perfectly. Her voice cracks a couple of times, but no more than Bette or Bernadette. She descends the stairs confidently. I saw no sign of frailty.
