| ...because I saw her sing it on his show. You can't find it on YouTube, but I vividly recall Cavett telling her she knocked him out of his seat with that song. Interestingly, she referred to it as "Hal Prince's Follies," though she identified Sondheim as "our brilliant composer." Wish I could see that appearance again. | |

| Thanks, BigM. I seem to think you've mentioned that in the past here, and I'd forgotten. I think it's not too surprising that in 1971 she would have referred to it as "Hal Prince's Follies." I wonder if perhaps that episode is out there somewhere. It doesn't seem to be at the Paley Center, but it might turn up someday. I don't recall it being in the list of television performances of Sondheim that Ken Mandelbaum put together years ago for The Sondheim Review. |

| You're right. That is the program I saw. Shutta, of course, was incredible. I distinctly remember the host, Cavett, being completely bowled over by her performance. | |
