| Somewhere on Youtube, there is - or at least used to be - an interview with Lansbury where she says she'd have very quickly been in big trouble if Whistle had run much longer, because she was pushing her voice in ways that weren't healthy for her. I love her performance on the OBC, actually - but I also love Julia McKenzie on the JAY recording. |

| Perhaps it's the same clip but where Angela says that Herbert Greene held her and Lee with his fist by the throat in a way that damaged their confidence (at the very least). PS I have the new recording and love it. | |

| I almost just posted more or less that about Herbert Greene a few minutes ago and then didn't. The whole thing seems to have been weird. Sondheim apparently wanted Lehman Engel to be hired. Kermit Bloomgarden probably wanted Greene, who had been the musical director on all the musicals that Bloomgarden had previously produced. Greene was brought in to work with Lansbury and Remick, and they apparently said that they had to have Greene, despite his weird technique of trying to relieve throat tension. Then it seems that he was hateful to Sondheim, and it was, if anything, a miracle that Lansbury and Remick were able to sing at all. | |
