It was very sweet, and I really liked that they played all of Larry Kert's "Something's Coming" (audio) which was not included on the album. It also brought into focus why, in the Sondheim Birthday Concert--which Lonny Price modeled after the Shubert tribute, he had "Something's Coming" performed one night and "America" the other night. Only knowing the recording I thought only "America" was part of the concert.
Len Cariou singing Marry Me A Little for the first time (outside of however it figured into the development and tryout of Company) was another full audio clip offered. As far as I am concerned his considerable talents are on display for the world to see/hear, but either he was sick or that song didn't sit in the right place in his voce, but it was not very good. Maybe he was sick, as Glynis Johns also was at the time of the concert.
Loved hearing the speeches, especially Hermione Gingold. That voice! And the idea that it would take five hours for her get into enough makeup to look like an 80 year old. Comic gold. |
